YMMV, but for me this is the update of a lifetime.

I have never had a better iPhone. And I’ve owned the 3G, 3G S, 4, 5, 6 plus, 6S, 8, and now X

Honestly this is snappy, fast, smooth, and battery life is great.

Again your YMMV, but for me this is unreal.

You convinced me to update my iPhone X from 12.1. I’m hoping I get the same results, including better battery life.

Thank you! :)

Your mileage may vary bud! But hopefully it works out for you!

If you still do the update and find time please comeback here and let me know how it works for you?

Ooh no, how can you say that? I thought people come here to express their frustration and unhappiness, whine and complain.

Now you come along and are happy as one can be and that with an iOS update. Not acceptable


I only had a 3G, 4, 5, 6, 7+, 8, 8+ and now XSM. Besides the cell phone reception on my XSM, I fully agree with your assessment, especially regarding iOS.

Doing great with the release build of 12.1.3.

No sign at all of the WiFi or cellular connectivity problems that people are talking about.

XS Max 256.

Physical SIM is Xfinity Mobile and eSIM is T-Mobile, with default data and default voice both set to the T-Mobile.

Not the very highest Geekbench I’ve tested but it is clearly performing well.

It seems more janky in the UI department for me...maybe just placebo. Running regular Xs.
