While I can understand that most of these reviewers assume their audience primarily consists of people who buy the latest device on an annual basis, I do wish they'd at least acknowledge the fact that there are plenty of people out there who keep their phones for years before upgrading. It's not really practical to address all of the earlier versions, I guess.
I am upgrading from a 6s to the XS Max, and I also purposefully chose NOT to upgrade to the X last year because I wanted to wait for any kinks with FaceID to be resolved.
Oh well, I'm used to always being a little bummed when reviews come out for my chosen model because I prefer to upgrade on the "s" cycle which means there will never be any real ground breaking feature to get hyped. I'm still super excited for my phone to arrive on Friday though!!
