Since this thread has been bumped back up I figured I’d add that after having mine since shortly after release, I still absolutely love it.

If I could change anything, I’d lose the notch, there would be no bezels at all, and it would do portrait mode on everything like the 8+ and XS (although I like having only one camera lens enough that IDK which I’d prefer).

Obviously the notch is what it is, and it’ll go away when Apple can make that happen.

The bezels don’t bother me, but of course I think ALL the phones would look better with none at all.

Would I like it to weight a little less? I suppose that could never hurt, but I love the battery life, and don’t mind a little extra weight to get it.

Overall, still one of my favorite iPhones ever.

Same here. It’s really only the notch and the bezels that are not great. They don’t bother me but it would be nicer without them.

"Thank you for reaching out to us on DM. The behavior of Notification Center differs between the iPhone and iPad. On the iPhone, to view and respond to a notification you'd need to be using a model with 3D Touch. On the iPad, the long press will allow for view and respond to notifications directly from the Notification center.

I hope Apple can implement this feuture with Haptic Touch in near future releases...

So the iPad has more advanced none 3D Touch functionality then the iPhone XR does? I would ask why doesn’t Apple include these features in the XR but I gave up trying to understand their iOS logic a long time ago.
It’s just another win for 3D Touch.

I use Halide app for portrait photos works great.

I do not understand how anyone can love this phone. I hate it sooooo much i cant believe i was so stupid and bought it. Im on here trying to figure out why people even think this is an acceptable cell phone. Im so mad apple put out this complete piece of garbage.

You could have said something constructive instead, this way, you sound like 10 year old who is mad at her parents.
