Not pictured: iPhone 4.
Some observations:
I unknowingly avoided 3D Touch in its entirety. So there might be others like me who has been continuously on newest OS supported iPhones and never experienced 3D Touch on an iPhone.
It is wild that my iPhone 4 could have had the same capacity as my XR had I chosen the 64Gb version. These phones are 8 years apart.
Choosing a black XR exaggerated the thick bezels even more making it feel really thick. I should have gotten a white.
The XR resolution complaint was way overblown imo, switching to a 13 didn’t provide a massive improvement to image clarity as others in the internet would have me believe.
On the other hand, 120 hz is immediately noticeable on the 15PM, though it’s not difficult to use the 13 again as others have stated about going back to 60 hz.
The minimal bullshit phones I’ve recommended for friends and family are always Sony Xperias.
