Hi fellow iPhone lovers!
So yes, the title says it all! I had a 6s plus for 3 years which I was in love with that was paid off and I was due for an upgrade so at the end of October I decided to go for the XS because I was told that it was bigger than the plus phone, all screen, etc. Even after seeing it in store I thought, ok it SEEMS a bit more narrow but it may not bother me so I gave it a go. Nope, the size was just too narrow for my liking and I missed the display zoom and touch ID from the 6s plus.
I then took the XS back for the XS MAX and had that for around 24 hours before I decided that even though it's the same form factor of the plus and the screen size is beautiful it was way too heavy for my liking (my hands and wrists hurt) and I was even more missing touch ID because I have really small hands and found it so hard to swipe for control center and swipe up for face ID, not to mention the fact that why do you have to use two features to get in your phone vs. one like touch ID? So yes, I decided that I will go back to the XS.
There's more! After having the XS again for a week, I realized that it's just too small for me so I returned it and exchanged it for an 8 plus which should be arriving Friday.
I know some people may think it's a downgrade but to me it's an upgrade from my 6s plus, it's the closest to the 10, xs and max feature wise, I have my home button back and it's $300 cheaper!
Did I make a mistake? lol
So with all of that said:
I look forward to your thoughts and suggestions! Thanks in advance!

So with all of that said:
- Anyone else get the XS or XS MAX and go back to 8 plus?
- Also, I really would like a clear case that doesn't make the phone bigger/bulky/heavy and that will not stick to the pretty glass in the back to give that bubble effect. Any suggestions?
I look forward to your thoughts and suggestions! Thanks in advance!
