The problem is that the taller screen is skinnier. And the width is most often the limiting size. For example, if you're watching a movie, a 16:9 image is limited by the width of the phone. So a skinnier screen means a smaller movie. Same for viewing photos. Basically most tasks result in a smaller viewing experience.
The taller screen really only buys you a better experience for reading long text (websites, ebooks, etc).

The only benefits to the Max over the XR are: - even harder to see pixels (not that you'd notice them on the XR) - 3d touch - camera
