I am not a photographer as such and would like to have a small phone. This will be the first iPhone I will have. I don’t want to regret the purchase.
If you want a ‘small phone,’ I’m pretty sure Plus or Pro Max is not the way to go.
Why are you comparing Plus vs Pro Max if you want a small phone?

I chose the iPhone 16 Pro for myself, and I suggest the same for you. It’s smaller and cheaper than the Pro Max but better than the iPhone 16 Plus.
What phone did you use before? The iPhone 16 Pro is 6.3 inches, and I think you can’t go wrong with that size 
. Since you’re not a photographer, you’ll get a good iOS experience regardless. If 6.3 inches isn’t small to you, you can choose the 16 base model. If you want the Pro at the same size, consider the 15 Pro, but do some research or ask others about their experiences. Or go for the 16 Plus at 6.7 inches, but not the Pro Max at 6.9 inches (that’s huge). 
The iPhone 16 Plus has more features than most people will ever need. 99% of Pro Max users buy it simply because it’s the most expensive option available. If there were any visible differences between the storage options on the Pro Max, those people would go for the 1TB model just for the sake of it.
Why do you want to switch to iPhones? Genuinely asking.

I have been using Android since I got my first mobile, so I want a change. Currently, I have the Redmi Note 10 Pro.
The 16 is lighter than the 16 Pro and slightly smaller, both in the regular and max sizes. I have the 16 because even Apple says the Pro is more for photography enthusiasts. I enjoy how the 16 is lighter than my previous Pro, and I notice no difference in photo quality.
I’ve been an iPhone lover since the iPhone 4, but the standard and Plus models are a waste of money. If you want an iPhone, only go for the Pro models.
Pro Max, just for the 120Hz screen. It’s also slightly larger screen-wise than the Plus, just so you’re aware. The Pro Max has a better chip to some degree as well as more battery. Also, these are the two biggest phones. Have you considered the iPhone 16 or iPhone 16 Pro instead of the Plus and Max? If you want a smaller phone, the 16 Pro is better than the 16 Plus in every way the Pro Max is, except it’s smaller.
