So this Xr may be the phone to get for a LOT of people... I need to see the breakdown again. I’m multitasking right now.

I would be surprised if the Portrait Mode using software only is as good as a dual-lens system.

Check out the Pixel 2 and you'll get your answer - it's actually better than Apple's implementation. It's all software. The dual cameras for portrait was just an artificial restriction to get people to pay the higher price for the plus.
 
The staff are all great salesman and saleswoman with convincing pitch. I think the XR will be what I may upgrade to.
 
You know what would allow us to keep our phones even longer? user replaceable batteries!

Wrong. There is absolutely no correlation that removable batteries help anyone keep their smartphone longer.

Didn’t work with NOkia in Theron s60 hey day and THEY where he big global leader of smartphones for years!!

So many phones so many batteries. It’s the features and the perceived lasting value in a phone that’ll have a user keeping it “longer”
