I'm currently using a Samsung (6.7") and considering on moving to iPhone 14 Pro series. But I'm not sure if I should get the smaller one or the Pro Max, since on iPhone you need to reach the left side of the phone often (especially hard if right handed)

I never had problem with 6.7" Android phone since I almost never need to reach the left/top-left side, and I think I can use the 6.1" Pro easier, but I'm not sure if I will notice the smaller screen size for daily use in the long run (YouTube, Twitter etc)

Have you guys ever done this? What are your experience?

Get the smaller one, the only ways to go back on iPhones is the button on the top left or the gesture on the left side of the screen.

I switched from a 6.7” Samsung to an iPhone 14 Pro Max. I ended up exchanging it for an iPhone 14 Pro. I don’t know how to explain it, but iOS feels like it’s optimized for smaller screens.

But either scenario, I would check out display models before you pay a restocking fee like me

Overall very happy moving from a Pixel 6 Pro to a 14 pro. Similar screen size difference, much better one handedness. Only things left wanting are Googles better speech to text and Googles spam blocking in phone and messages

I was intending to get the Pro Max but ended up with the regular sized one and I am so glad. It feels like the perfect size and easily fits in my pocket. When you pick up both phones you will know what feels right for you.

You can feature on the right side too

I had the normal Pro but I returned it for the Pro Max. I just love the bigger devices.

I just switched to a 14 Pro after using Samsung for about 10 years. This is one of the most jarring adjustments that I'm trying to get used to-- Android seems much more friendly for one-handed use. Edit: Also, thanks for mentioning the left side gesture. That makes this a little less painful.

Switched from a 6,7" Redmi note 10 pro to an iPhone 13 pro, it is noticeably smaller but one of the weak points of iOs is the worse one-handed usability so I am very glad it isn't 6,7".

I have both Samsung 6.7" and iPhone 13 6.1". I must say I prefer the 6.1" more - it feels better in hand. Now I feel 6.7" is too tall for me. I suppose you'll get used to the smaller size in time.

I was worried about going down from the Pixel 4XL to the iPhone 12 a couple of years ago. I can't remember the exact sizes but it wasn't even noticeable.

I came from the S 22 Ultra and it took few days to adjust back to smaller screen. I like the larger screens but unfortunately the size got in the way more times than not. I’m on the go a lot and I like to pull phone from pocket snap quick pic and just keep on keeping on. The 14 Pro an awesome device 👌
