Nah I think you right.

IOS12 has improved everything for everybody. Seems like they FINALLY got it right. Basically, most the shyt they are touting as XS features are software
I was so happy Apple did that shyt. I finally feel confident I can miss the current model

Apple should be commended for such a move:wow:

shyt is beta status this early in the game... I’ll wait till I get my new phone because I’m not going to DL iOS 12 on the 8+

Yeah, I'm not mad. I e-chatted for a half hour and then was on the phone for an hour and some change before my problem was escalated to the engineering dept. They're going to get back to me in a couple days. shyt happens. I'll be ok without having a walkie talkie on my wrist for another couple days lol

I’m not going to commend them for finally dropping a solid OS after a shaky couple of years. I feel like our $1000+ phones deserve that.

But you right. At this point with last years devices having 3 gigs of ram. We’re in a new era as far as how long these can last. A year from now you might need a new battery but your phone will be running smooth.

At least one of these big tech YouTubers is giving the XR the criticism it deserves.

3 GBs of RAM ain't that hot. My Note9 with 8GBs spoiled me. I use a website at work that logs you out every 30 min and many times I don't want the page to refresh. I just open a new tab log back in and can access older info on the old tab that's no longer accessible directly on a refreshed tab. With my iPhone X it's basically not possible because the browser tabs always refresh on my Note9 I can have old tabs from the middle of the day still not refresh at night even running 7-10 different apps all day.

ALL tech vloggers except the aforementioned neegroe are dragging apple for the XR.

Nobody is saying that 3 Gig ram is “hot” in a spec war with android devices. I’m saying it it’s adequate enough for the devices not to be obeselte every other year.

Apple devices famously outperform android devices with less ram. The issue your describing I’ve never came across in my life but wouldn’t disagree that devices with more ram would have the advantage there

Anyone upgrading from the X to XS in here? If so, why? What about the series 3 to the 4?
I was on the fence until the dual SIM card announcement. I recently moved to Germany and I hate having to keep track of my ATT sim. Only drawback was that I had to pay for the unlocked version entirely up front.
