I mean, you can return it within a certain time period, like 14 days (which is the case across most markets if I'm not wrong). If you're not satisfied with it you can return it (within reason, obviously). I returned my 14PM and got the regular Pro instead. It still is a bit heavy but manageable still.

I think the problem is that since I use my phone one handed mostly, the weight becomes an issue. I returned the pro max and got a pro instead lol and so far battery life hasn’t been an issue

Apart from screen and battery capacity, afaik there isn’t anything different between the two right?

Loool, yes. I don’t even wear skinny jeans and there’s a clear silhouette of the phone in my pocket

The other thing is that personally, I don’t hugely benefit from the bigger screen. I don’t consume any media apart from the occasional YouTube on the tube or such that a bigger screen would be hugely beneficial to me. That’s another reason why I’m considering going to the store and seeing the weight difference between the Max and the regular Pro
