I’m on a XS Max right now and super pleased with it. I really think it’s my favorite iphone of the ones i’ve had (4,6,6S,X, and now XS max)
i used to sell my phone and upgrade via craigslist/offerup/ebay but now I have joined my family’s postpaid carrier plan where they offer great trade in deals on upgrading iphones
However, i haven’t had that much of an urge to upgrade to be honest. Yes, I am charging my phone by 7/8pm, yes i wish i had better cameras. But other than that, pretty satisfied (except for the intel modem. that sometimes really pisses me off).
I had my heart set on upgrading to the 12 Pro Max but since it came out so late in the year (november instead of sept) and my carrier deals on it will probably be much later in the year of 2021, i’ve decided to just skip it and wait for the 13 Pro Max in fall2021. I’ll will be really pissed if 120hz doesn’t come out then.
