Other What iPhone Are You Using

[ssledoux]

I had the same indecisiveness when the 6 and 6 Plus were released. I was so used to a smaller phone that I struggled to adjust to the bigger one (even though I’m 6’8” with large hands). Choice is great, until you struggle with choice lol. They gave the Plus models advantages which was even harder because I was used to always having the newest, best iPhone.

This lasted until July of the iPhone 7 release. Almost 3 full years. I was terrible about going back and forth. Once I finally settled on the Plus I couldn’t go back to the smaller phone. It was as if someone flipped a switch. Then the new designs came. And go figure, I’m one of the few sensitive to Apple’s implementation of PWM. So now I’m still on that same 8 Plus. Point is, you’re not alone. We can easily step back and acknowledge this is a first world problem at it’s finest. But it still is hard when it’s a passion.

Oh it’s a first world problem for sure, and it makes me feel ridiculous for being like this over a phone. I am so frustrated with myself for not being able to make a decision, but it’s like I am just picking everything apart all of a sudden.

There are a lot of differences between SE and 11 of course, and I’m just really having a tough time figuring out what’s most important to me. I guess because I’m thinking whatever phone I have now I may have a couple years at least until OLED has been somewhat improved, I’m more set on making the “right” decision.

iPhone XR Black 128GB

Bought it at launch, will keep it until Fall 2022 at least. Since I am in the ecosystem, upgrading a device is something that I want to keep on a schedule as I always pay the devices off in installments, I prefer to do it that way with everything that is even remotely pricey. I just bought an Apple Watch so the next item on the upgrade list is a Macbook Pro with Apple Silicon hopefully in the Fall of 2021, then in the Fall of 2022 decide if I'm upgrading the iPhone or the iPad Pro. That will depend on what's on offer and how the current device is performing.

...iPhone XS - best iPhone yet!

 

[sjsharksfan12]

The XR. It's a nice phone.

It's the blue 128 GB. I'm still surprised Apple stopped selling the Blue. That was my first choice mainly because blue is my favorite color.

 

[Zaft]

iPhone XS Max. Unless I’m really blown away by the 12 I’m keeping it until next year.

Please know I was very much including myself in the first world problem comment. I was deeply consumed with phone indecisiveness for several years.

I think it would be difficult for me to choose the SE over the 11 simply because of the camera differences. But I take a ton of photos. The speakers being louder with spatial audio is nice too. I’m the opposite of you however in that the 11 feels too small to me whereas I believe you prefer the size of the SE 2.

I don’t use an iPad or computer (aside from my work laptop) so I do everything on my phone. The SE 2 screen size is way small for my needs and I question how I ever typed on the smaller keyboards. I hope you find the right fit for you!! I know the struggle.

iPhone XS - will keep it such as long as possible

 

[BearBert]

Currently XS Max on primary line, will most likely update to 6.7 iPhone in the fall.

SE 2nd gen on secondary line.

No worries. I often feel pretty guilty about the things I worry over because I realize how silly it is, and how much I should appreciate that I have these options and not get consumed with them.

The camera differences are a little bit of an issue, although the main thing I photograph is my grandkids, and I can still do portrait with the SE, so I’m pretty good with that. The size/weight just won me out in the end.

So I’m officially back on the SE, and staying put until 12s come out for sure. I’ll see if anything really grabs me at that point (I think my only option would be the 5.4 unless they really get the weight down on the 6.1 - I’m sure I won’t go pro), and if not, I may just try to stick with this little phone awhile. It certainly has its perks!

Why not make this thread as pool?

Why not make this thread as pool?

That would have been a great idea but at this point, it’s likely a lost cause. I think this thread has pretty much ran it’s course.

I have a 64GB XR Product (RED).
It’s an amazing device, I’m planning on keeping it until at least the second gen 5G models appear or longer if I can get away with it. After early adopting on 3G and then being stupid enough to do the same for 4G I’m not doing it again. The battery life and connection issues are something I really couldn’t cope with now I have kids and I’m out around the country for work.

My friends and I who have 5G capable Samsungs aren’t having any problems with our batteries or connections. Then again, there’s no 5G service to be found most places so it’s not the deal making feature, yet. Of course Apple can always surprise us by massively screwing up the antenna or something else. But let’s hope not.

Now getting back to the original subject, I have a Product Red iPhone SE 2, 128 GB and a green 11 Pro, 256 GB.

Apparently next year early there will be an SE+ that’s like the 8+ with no notch.

Don’t toy with my heart like that! Lol I got to see my dad’s Verizon 8 Plus the other day that I traded my AT&T 8 Plus to buy for him. I miss the 8 Plus. Mine was not a particularly good phone, though. My SE performs pretty well as a phone, so if they really make an SE+ that would be hard to resist. I don’t care that I already have too many phones. I just hope the display will be as good as the one on the 8 Plus.

If you’re not using the features, then you won’t notice the issues. I’m sure that anyone with a 5G phone who doesn’t get 5G service will have turned off that band in the settings app anyway, which will stop most potential issues.
I could have said the exact same thing about using my NEC E606 (first 3G phone), if I had lived in an area with only 2G signal. Yet anywhere near 3G it was awfully spotty, missing most of my calls and you had to carry a spare battery to make it through a normal work day!
