So I've missed the past few days of posts, but I can tell you this, I'll be extremely happy with my XS Max until we see next year's version. The 11 Pro and Pro Max look like great phones for people with 6S, 7 and 8 series iPhone's, but for me, it's just not a compelling upgrade. I don't take photos for a living (just of my kid and I love the way my phone takes photos of my munchkin). The only thing I really want is USB-C connectivity, and that's just a first world problem if I'm being honest with myself.
