Ordered a 14 Pro yesterday for the same reason. I am currently on a 12 Pro Max and while it’s an amazing phone, the size is tiring. Wanted to give the big one a try, but it turned out to be too much :/

Very similar experience!! I came from the Pixel 2 XL & 3XL, used an iPhone 7 for a month when I gave away the 3XL; I decided to get the 12 Pro Max for the “bigger” iOS experience. It was great and sold me on the ecosystem, but after 2 years it ended up somewhat of a chore to use one handed and cumbersome in terms of size. The 14 Pro non-Max has been wonderful in those aspects, while retaining almost the full experience the 12 Pro Max provided.

Would you mind commenting on if the 14 Pro is really an update over the 12 pro. I currently have the 12 pro max and I can't really decide if it really is much of an upgrade.

I made the same upgrade last week. I very much prefer the smaller size. My hand was starting to hurt from holding the 12 pro max. The one thing that I think was a downgrade is the battery life. I’m not sure if that’s an iOS 16 problem or just the change from dropping sizes and losing the bigger battery of the pro max.

I’ll keep that in mind for when I get it. Ordered it through my carrier so that’s going to take some time.
