    iPhone XR iPhone 7 to XR?

    Strongly considering pushing the upgrade button from the iPhone 7 to the XR. I’m very much used to using a smaller lighter iPhone (3GS -> 4S -> 5s -> 7) and I’m worried that I’m just not going to get on with the increase size & weight of the XR compared to the 7. So I’m interested in hearing...

    I have an opportunity to buy a used 6s, and am considering getting that to hold me over until Apple releases the new phones this fall.
