Nothing really surprised me. Well, one thing did... How much better it feels in the hand than the XS Max. I always jump out of the window with the big phone then remember how annoying using one can be at times.

What surprised me was my 12yo son played with it in the Verizon store for awhile and said get him an iPhone 8 instead. He wasn't that impressed and loves the form factor of the 6/7/8 series.

Being a 6 plus user for years and years I was SO ready for a smaller phone. Got a friend that has had a 7 plus for two years and is still in the "gotta buy the biggest" mindset and wants the max.

I am so excited about this device, I was playing with it while the techs at the store were testing out my phone to see if it was me or the phone having issues... definitely it was the max... so instead of getting a replacement max I went with the xr... it just felt better in the hands and it can charge! I was initially shocked that I like the device as much as I do with all the people shaming it... brings a whole new meaning to “don’t knock it til you’ve tried it”.

Yep! And guess what?? It is the top selling iPhone this year and will most likely continue to be in 2019. I bought the $1,000 iPhone X last year and refuse to spend that money again on another iPhone. I'm keeping my X. I have tried the XR several times and if there is a great deal on it I may just roll with it once and for all. It's a great device and a unique one!

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?
@taz323 @scruffypig
If I had a 7/8 I wouldn't even be considering it right now. I actually intended on getting the 8 plus on sams club special but they were already sold out and only had 256 gig of the 8/8+ so this was cheaper. That being said though. I'm glad it worked out like it did I am enjoying this phone much more than I think I would the 8+
