I see that the performance increase from X to XS is minimal.
The price difference is about $250 between X and XS.
XR is too big for me.
Would you go with X and save some money or would you go with XS?
 
Some Apple Stores still have the X at $100 less at $899. But I would get the new X if you are considering a pre-owned X; I would buy a new for the difference in price since it has a warranty! If you use the camera a lot; then go with the Xs!

Between the 5.8 X and XS, I would just opt the iPhone X. There are Likely not substantial enough of differences, with the 6.5 Max having the biggest changes.
 
Coming from the SE I would find a new X. The X is a fine device. Will be supported for a long time.

Idk if you’re big on selfies or not, but I know the XS and Max have issues with “beautifying” your skin. That’s something the X does not do (thank god).

The X and XS are so similar it’s not even funny. It is by far the smallest “S” upgrade we have EVER seen. If you can find an X new for $799 or $899 I would jump on it
