Technology has ticks and tocks. The xs was a tick where small refinements and software was added in so your X isn't inferer. A tock would be going an iphone 7 to a X or XS where the jump is very noticeable.Honestly not putting in passwords is more a convenience that anything. It takes maybe 5-7 seconds to punch in a pin if that.
Modern phones are about refinements like biometrics, larger screens, better cameras. We're mostly still doing the same activities on phones we were doing 4 or so generations ago. You can do them better now but it's not that you couldn't do them on older phones. Much of this is forced obsolescence.
They say the XS takes better pictures than my X. I never had a problem with the pics my X takes.
