I've had a 6s since launch, held out as long as I could but finally decided to upgrade to the iPhone Xs. Overall I loved it so far, the speed, the face ID (I was hesitant at first but love it now), the screen, was very happy for the first few days. In the last day and a half of further use though, I've noticed some things that are kinda bumming me out and making me concerned about my purchase.
The first issue is the camera: I'm not sure if it's just mine, or all the Xs models, but I feel like my camera is not as great as I would expect. It seems to be almost smoothed or blurred, front facing worse than back, but present on both for sure. This is definitely upsetting to me as I want to love the phone. Am I crazy, or is this just how the xs cameras are? If so, are we screwed or is this something that will be fixed soon with an update?
My only other complaint is the battery life. My 6s had horrible battery life, so I was expecting this to be a lot better. The phone was charged to 100% at 10:30am, I left and drove for two hours with Apple music playing, and then have had moderate use on it until now (4pm, 5.5 hours later), and my battery is now at 56%. I feel like this isn't that much better than my 6s, but again I'm not sure if it's just me or everyone.
I have two weeks for return or exchange, if it's something like mine is defective I can just exchange it. I see people loving the camera and taking great pictures, but mine are not good. Anyone have any thoughts on this? I want to love the phone, I don't think I'm being too picky but even compared to my 6s the camera and maybe battery aren't too much better to me.
