Really looking into it, it looks like the iPhone XR is actually a really good deal.
If I were to get one to replace my S8+, I'd probably get plenty of comments of "why I shouldn't have".
Don't get me wrong, I love my S8+ but Google annoys me.
I'm well aware if I went for an iPhone XR from my S8+, I would be getting technically a lower resolution screen with a lower density screen and I'd be going from OLED to LCD, the battery life probably wouldn't be as good and all these paper specs
But frankly I did a first that I never managed to do on my S6, I got a menu button and the navigation bar burned into my S8+s screen because I use discord a lot. And while my S8+'s battery isn't degrading as horribly as my S6s battery I think it probably would be rough by the time I originally wanted to upgrade, in 2020.

I think the XR is probably what will replace my aging and dying 5S at this point. Don't like that it has no headphone jack, but whatever, guess I'm an Apple sheep since iMessage is literally a gift from god.

Yeah because my boyfriend will likely end up with an iPhone 7 or iPhone 8, I just feel like having the ability to use iMessage with him would be amazing.

Yeah, never having to pay for SMS and also having a nicely integrated experience with the same app you use for SMS is nice, plus Hangouts, despite being good, uses a lot of battery and is a processing suck.

Yeah, I kinda wish for 750 bucks that it were better but it's what I've used forever so it's not the end of the world.
