I’m mad that I bought the 8 a few months ago and now the XR is out. Don’t knw how to upgrade without losing lots of money(its on verizon). Also, the pic of the person wearing the beanie, i genuinely cant tell if it is male or female

Like what kind of creature u must be that you are mad about fact that apple every year releases new phones in sept/oct???
 
Correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe OLED uses less juice than LCD, if for no other reason than it doesn't need back lighting and blacks are pixels that are literally turned off.

And in this case, it's that the LCD is "720p-ish" vs the "Quad HD-ish" screen of the XS/Max that negate the power savings, since there are more pixels being driven.

As long as most apps have these whitespace-heavy flashlight-app UIs, then this provides zero benefit.

It's probably not stupid and made a wise decision when picking a phone.
 
Officially put a pre-order in on a 128gb RED at Best buy... really hope there isn't some inventory glitch tomorrow since it appears I got the last one.

Haha, im not mad, just a little disappointed. But the 8 is a great phone, thx for reminding me to be grateful for what i have, have a great day
 
I want an XR mini...the size of these phones is ridiculous...:(

You are correct. I admit that I’m in the minority and that Apple is just responding to the overwhelming demand for big phones, especially in markets like Asia where the phone is the primary computer. I’m atypical in that I use my iPad and Mac at home and only use my phone when I’m out and about. I don't need an all-in-one phablet, just a portable device that's easy to slip in my pocket and use one handed. Still, I’m not the only one who feels this way...
I have a feeling a major reason Apple is not giving us a smaller iPhone is because they are pushing the apple watch.

I bought my 8+ in April and I have no regrets. I bought it because there's no notch and I have touch ID. It's still an amazing phone today.
