I finally caved and bought a black XR. Let me try a big screen phone and see if I enjoy it. I played with them a lot in the store over some months. It is definitely not a one handed phone, so lack of portability is my biggest concern. The XS is lighter, but I did find the display bothersome when scrolling.
3 things I like about the XR
- Better display because of true tone.
- No home button (I won't be enabling Face ID).
- Larger display.
I picked black because it was the least distracting -- the bezels and the body are seamless.
Anyone else go from SE to XR?
I remember going from a 5s to a 6s and returning the 6s. Fortunately the SE came soon after. This time around there's no hope for a small form factor phone, so I decided to try a bigger device. Let us see if I decide to hold on to it.
Edit:
Sad to report I could not adjust to the size and weight and I ended up returning it after just one day of use.
