I’ve been saying for a while that the battery in my 6S is killing me - so it's time for a new phone.

I was thinking of a XS but they have a deal on at the moment where I could get a X for $30 a month cheaper (over 2 years - so $720 total saving).

Would that be a mistake? Is the XS worth the difference? I’m beginning to think that a X would still be a significant upgrade over what I have so it’s not worth paying that much extra.

In the exact same boat. In for the responses.

Where is said deal you mention?

 

[kdawg]

It’s in the UK - I’ve been with Vodafone for years and just checked - suddenly a ton cheaper than when I last looked. I guess a lot of folks get new phones for Christmas and this is their sale.

You could save even more by having someone replace your current iPhone 6S battery but if you need a upgrade the X will do the X and Xs isn’t that of a major significance hardware wise. You’ll lack he esim functionality on the X.

I’ve had the battery replaced already - Apple did it a year ago. The handset doesn’t owe me anything and it is getting a bit slow so I think an upgrade makes more sense.

I’m going with the X - if it’s no good I’ll be banning some people.

No much difference between X & Xs. X is s great phone.

I actually wanna roll back to the old form factor, having an X...I lowkey wished I copped the 8 Plus, I’m not one who’s crazy about tech specs as long as the thing works

I need apple to fix the update for IG on the MAX! They accidentally mess up the size ratio (everything is blown out and blurry). I know App Store was down Dec. 23-28th. Been 2/3 days now. Need that update!

Mad annoying, how do I get rid of it?

something similar happened to me with my 7+. no visible crack but it showed up when taking pics. i brought it to the apple store and they replaced my phone. since there was no external damage he said it was defective and replaced it for free

youre not under warranty?

think he was referring to being under warranty, chances of them giving a free repair or replacement out of warranty are slim.. it does happen though if the employee feeling nice
