I am currently on an iPhone SE and cannot rationalize even upgrading to an iPhone XR, let alone an XS or XS Max. My primary complaint with my SE right now is that the battery needs to be replaced, which I will probably have Apple do at a cost of $65 (CAD).
I assumed that XR or XS would be a lot faster than my SE, which would be a big reason to upgrade, but upon watching YouTube videos doing direct comparison of SE and XR in day to day usage, they appear to be nearly on par as far as general usage is concerned.
Significantly improved cameras would be another reason to upgrade, but Apple does not appear to be keeping up to competitors as far as the newest camera innovations are concerned (optical zoom, impressive low-light performance of products like Huawei P30 Pro, etc.)
- marcosscriven 7y agoI also have an SE and still get comments about having an old or retro phone. My biggest worry is more and more sites and apps clearly haven’t been tested on a ‘small’ screen, and I simply can’t access a crucial element of the UI.
- scarface74 7y agoWell, developers can’t ignore the SE resolution because the 4.7 inch phone has the same resolution when in zoomed mode.
- tracker1 7y agoYou'd be surprised how many app/site developers ignore lower/zoomed resolutions. Worse is when zooming is disabled completely.
- scarface74 7y agoOf course it’s impossible to disable zoom mode for apps. But Apple also turned off the ability to disable zooming in Safari one or two releases ago.
- tracker1 7y agoI usually set the override for the browser... it's annoying, at least allow a range up to 2x, it also irks me when apps don't listen to the accessibility settings for larger sized text.
