How much am I missing by still using XR? It’s been paid off for a couple years and unlocked with AT&T now, but starting to have issues where apps/sites load slower and outright freeze sometimes. I don’t really want to have another monthly installment, but don’t want to shell out $1000 up front either. Is there much change jumping to the 14 or 15, or should I hang on until this XR completely dies another 2+ years maybe? Also worth noting the trade value has gone lower and lower every year, and another 2 years I probably won’t get anything for the XR.
still on xr, i will stay on it until it dies, in fact it already does everything i need and an upgrade,at least for me, isn’t worth. I care mainly about battery life and i’m worried that an upgrade will not be convinient compared to what i have to spend.so in your case it all depens on your needs, but after all jumping to a 14 or 15 series will only improve the user experience in general and nothing more. your xr can still do everything!
Yep… this rabid consumerism of buying a new phone every year whether you need one or not is why credit card debt is at an all time high… there hasn’t been a major change worth dropping another grand on these devices since iPhone X.
