So I am going to upgrade my iphone 6 this year and the new iphones just came out. The only problem is that the xs is $1k and the xs max is 1.1k. I can still afford them but it hurts to spend that much money. I'm either going to upgrade to the iphone 8 plus, iphone xr, or iphone xs. I really like the new iphone designs i'm just not sure if the price tag is worth it? Thanks for the help!

The first thing you should ask yourself is do I need to upgrade? then ask can I afford to upgrade? and finally ask is it worth the upgrade?

Yea, the battery life is bad on my 6, cracked screen, and laggy. I have the money for an upgrade (prob not the xs max tho that's unreasonable for me), and I think an upgrade would be worth it. I just need to know which of these iphones would be best for me.

Then simply compare the Xs and Xr to decide which one offers the features you need, then decide which one fits your budget. The only person who can tell you what phone works best for you, is you, because you know what you need the phone to do for your needs better than anyone else.

Ever consider settling for a 7? Not like much changed between the generations.

I WILL find your ITX build thread, and I WILL recommend the SIlverstone Sugo SG13B

 

Primary PC:

i7 8086k - EVGA Z370 Classified K - G.Skill Trident Z RGB - WD SN750 - Jedi Order Titan Xp - Hyper 212 Black (with RGB Riing flair) - EVGA G3 650W - dual booting Windows 11 and Fedora Linux - Black and green theme, Razer brainwashed me.

Draws 400 watts under max load, for reference.

 

PSU tier list

How many watts do I need?

Just buy a used google pixel gen 1 XL 128GB for like $250

got the update to android 9.0 recently, though I'm sticking to 8 until any software bugs are worked out.

I edit my posts a lot, Twitter is @LordStreetguru just don't ask PC questions there mostly...
 

Spoiler

 

What is your budget/country for your new PC?

 

what monitor resolution/refresh rate?

 

What games or other software do you need to run?
