Reviewing an iPhone is not like covering any other machine.
Well, they arent going to suddenly jump ship because of a single article.
Then you have specs.
![[Best of 2019] An iPhone 11 Pro Max review especially for you, human](https://img-cdn.tnwcdn.com/image?fit=1280%2C720&url=https%3A%2F%2Fcdn0.tnwcdn.com%2Fwp-content%2Fblogs.dir%2F1%2Ffiles%2F2019%2F11%2F16.png&signature=6f4d8ec5ae3222fe54a4dc670f0c7246)
This puts the writer (hereafter referred to as me or I) in a strange situation.
Should I focus on new features?
Should I gear it towards Apple fans?

It’s free, every week, in your inbox.
At the risk of sounding corny, phones have become our companions.
I mean, I never go anywhere without mine.

So even though theyre mass-produced bits of plastic and metal, theyve become these weirdly personal things.
In other words, a review that takes a decidedly human approach to technology.
In other words, it takes shots that look amazing on Instagram.

If youre snapping some people moving around (i.e.
possibly a bit drunk), faces blur and the the photo gets messy.
Currently I charge my iPhone once every two days, and I use the damn thing constantly.

A 30 minute charge will give you enough juice for hours.
Genuinely, I find going back to standard charging tiresome.
Youre gonna love it.

And while things have gotten better, I still find migrating to Android devices a bit of pain.
That isnt the case with the iPhone though.
Oh not at all.

The positions of apps, data, options pretty much everything was exactly the same.
Listen, fellow humans, its miraculous, and a solid reason to stay within the iPhone bubble.
The screen is crisp and bright, apps load quickly, and everything just feels polished.

The phone feels weighty, and everything about it is well made and durable.
Its smoothness, security, and reliability is one reason why people keep coming back to Apple devices.
FaceID is delicious… For example, it sucks if youre lying in bed in low light.

Or if your phones flat on the table when youre sitting down.
Nothing beats the reliability of just unlocking the phone with your thumb.
I have no idea where they came from because I was careful as hell.

Still, this couldve just been bad luck, but I have seen this issue crop up online.
Yes, fellow humans, I know thats sad, but here we are.
In other words, Ive accidentally dropped this thing a lot.

And you know what?
Its still in excellent shape.
But the notch sucks balls
Im so fucking over notches.

They look ugly and are constantly distracting.
I thought Id just get used to the iPhone 11 Pro Maxs notch, but I havent.
Just put a bigger bezel on the phone, its not hard.

Yeah, It might not bother you, human person, but it sure as hell bothers me.
The iPhone 11 Pro Max is big
I mean, you probably knew that anyway.
If you have small hands, this might not be the product for you.
I really do love it though
It is, hands-down, the best phone Ive ever used.
So, the question comes if its worth upgrading to get one.
You wont regret it.
But if you have an X or an Xs?
Theres a definite improvement here, but its not monumental.
