I'm keeping my Xs MAX at least until 2021. Going to try to go for 2+ years for the first time with this iPhone. I find that I'm using my iPad and MBP a lot more these days, vs my iPhone --- unlike the last 3-4 years where I used my iPhone a lot more.

My XS Max battery is still almost 300 mAh over design capacity - even after almost a year of usage.

But I'm getting old ... kinda tired of always getting the latest and greatest - my bank account will thank me too after this Xs Max (Apple Upgrade Plan - so not as painful).


Same for me I bought the max because it’s got enough oomph to last at least two years. There’s nothing taxing this phone right now, I’m really happy with it
 
I have a fully paid MAX and I am considering it. I assume I would be able to get an unlocked XR2 at no additional cost by trading in my Max. With the XR2, you get

1) The latest processor
2) Presumably longer battery life
3) A dual camera, with the back camera upgraded to the latest specs
4) A smaller footprint

You only lose OLED, 3D Touch and slimmer bezels, but 3D Touch is being phased out anyway

Is it me or wouldn’t the 2019 XR be a better phone than the 2018 MAX?
With no additional cost, i would say its a pretty sweet deal and should take the XR2.
