I'm planning to upgrade tomorrow night from a plain 6 that I've had since release to an Xs. But I fell in love with the Xs Max when I picked it up. I saw a review that said it's like having a movie theater in your hands and I agree, it's just stunning.

My issue is that it isn't clear to me whether or not the larger one is too impractical given its size. The phone is in my pants front pocket most of the day. (not skinny jeans but not baggy cargo pockets either...) One review that gushed over the max made the case that the Xs is simply more practical on a daily basis, especially for pulling out quickly to take pictures or look something up. I agree but it isn't clear to me how difficult the Max is to handle on a daily basis.

So those of you who have either, are you disappointed that you didn't get the other one? And if so, why? If not, why not?

(Note: I'll be switching AT&T to Verizon at the same time so if Verizon has some kind of deal where I can switch from the larger to smaller phone after a while without paying the whole thing off I'd love to know about it and would probably try the larger one first)

Thanks!
