I still have my X, as my personal device. The XS camera isn’t as good as the X. Yes, there are a few new camera effects, but what’s the point if the original looks bad. I, also, see no difference in speed or Face ID. It’s the same phone with a mediocre camera, that I now have in gold*

It isn't as good as the X??? I thought it was much better with the new HDR feature

Right! I noticed when I was out with my friend, and she couldn’t get a good pic with her Max. So I tried with my XS, and the shot was grainy just like hers. Then I tried with my X, and it was perfect.

That's crazy. See to me it isn't worth spending the extra money to go from an X to an Xs, which is why I felt like going from the X to the XR was worth it. I may just hold onto my X and wait till next year.

I guess I don't put that high of an importance on my phone. I have an X and it's a high end phone that meets my needs. First world problems.

You got that right, I lose sleep over this stuff. My X definitely meets my needs and I don't need a new phone, just like getting new ones frequently

Definitely, first world problems LOL

If you’re happy with your X, there’s no need to switch.

I would go over the pros and cons of both. I love my X, but I also think the XR is a wonderful device. The XR is way too big for me, so it’s not even an option. If it was smaller, I definitely would have replaced my 8 with the XR instead of the XS.

I can relate to you on the size thing. It's tough.

Did you make your final decision yet? Lol

Haha I want to say yes. The pros and cons list for me is equal. I just wonder if I'll regret not getting the X. A part of me wants it anyway and I could trade for a Xr later on. I can relate with the cons and pros you listed.

The what if it what gets me. I think I need to just try the X to get myself out of this feedback loop.

Yeah. I have both in front of me and it actually is making my decision harder! I have another week with the XR before my return period ends. I'm using both on and off to try and steer me which way to go but I just keep going back and forth!

Going on 4 days with mine and no problem getting 12 hours of heavy use and still have 20% battery left at the end of the day. I always have a charger wherever I go but haven't been using the chargers since I picked up the XR.
