Yes watching the big stuff land with normal (low autobrake settings) you will see the nose coming down later rather than sooner as most of us try to fly it on smoothly...

However if you ever see an Airbus land with more than low (200) or autobrake 3 (600) the nose tends to come down very smartly as soon as the autobrakes apply! In my experience with the 200 medium autobrake means the nose is coming down and there is not enough elevator to fly it on. Autobrake applies and wack!!

Physics rule!!!
