Yes, it might be an upgrade for iPhone 6 and 7 users but not for the iPhone 8 or X users. Do u guys agree that?

I came from an iPhone 8.

What surprises me is that it's almost as good (or just as good) as the iPhone XS/iPhone XS Max. It has almost everything except the stainless steel, 4x4 MIMO (meh), OLED display (again, meh), and the zoom lens. I think the display looks just as good as the displays on the XSes. The only difference is green on the FaceTime icon on the XS looks more vibrant and the blacks look inkier. Meh.
I notice a difference between the LCD and OLED. Enough not to stick with the XR unfortunately. If it had the OLED I'd be all over it!
The main issue I notice for me is text. It's no where near as crisp and dark. Black text looks nice and crisp and clear on the XS. Video doesn't bother me in the slightest but the colors of the app icons are definitely more punchy on the XS.
I know this seems a little drastic but I compare it to a TV. Watching HD and then going back to standard def isn't what I want to do right now. I know that's an extreme difference in quality but that's how I feel when I look at the XR. It's by no means a bad device, but feel that in 2018 almost 2019, LCD displays are dated.
Now that 12.1.1 has come out with haptic touch on lock screen notifications, I will def be getting the XR again. That was one of my big gripes since I used 3D touch on my lock screen. Nice that apple has implemented this so quickly! Shows that the XR is still capable of doing more of what it's king and queen can do.

Getting rid of the XS? And you are ok with not having the OLED? How many XR’s are this for you?. I returned my XR as well because of no haptic touch on the lock screen. I may now reconsider the XR as well. If only they added portrait mode to everything and not just humans.
Ooh wow that you returned yours too! What did you go back to?
I went back to my 7... for now . I do miss the XR. I’m waiting to see what Christmas specials are coming and then will decide on the XR or XS. I will probably go with the XS and then decide within the 14 days if I keeping it or going back to the XR.
I can’t remember. Did you keep your XR? If not what are you using now?
Ah okay, gotcha. Aww I get that. I think you have a great plan here.
Nope, I returned it on day 11. I decided to get a X in really good condition instead so that's what I'm using now. The size feels wonderful in comparison but I do miss things about the Xr.

You do know about the apple trade in special right?? They are offering I believe $250 for an iPhone 7 trade in towards an XR and free next day delivery. Would make the base model $500 which is a very good deal!
