I upgraded from the X to the XS Max almost 3 weeks ago. I couldn’t wait 6 months for this year’s upgrade. I love the bigger screen, better battery and it only feel heavy when I use my Casemate glitter case ( I only use that case at work because of my job). At home I use my phone naked unless my son is walking around. Once September rolls around, I can upgrade again if I choose to, or I could just keep my XS Max until 2020’s upgrade.
