Now that you have your larger screen Xs, or Xr s ?

I use my MacBook much less now. In fact I would estimate that my usage dropped by 80% easily.

I am loving my Xr and I feel comfortable using it for browsing the web, email; and a couple of other tasks that I used my MacBook. It’s just much easier to do things with iOS 12 and a larger screen.
 
I've always browsed the internet on my iPhone since the iPhone 3GS days and every year they increase the screen size I'm delighted.

I don't use my XR any more than I use my previous 7 Plus but the (a lot) longer battery life is a very big plus.

YES. ABSOLUTELY 100% YES.

After getting my iPhone X I find myself not using a computer nearly as much.

Although there is no replacement for one at least for me.

Still need my MacBook Pro for some things that are easier to do than on my iPhone.

No. I've always preferred to use my MBP over my phone any day. I use my phone for the apps and calls and I use my MBP for typing on forums such as this and surfing the net.

I even bought a 12.9" iPad Pro in December and sold it two weeks later. I bought a iPad mini 4 also in December and I'm returning it tomorrow night.
