Exactly, and the SE to the XR is another generation leap compared to the 7 to
the XR.
I am not totally saying you won't notice it, but in my experience I was never
blown away by how much faster a new phone was compared to my old one.
I think also that as devices get older that even with a new
HI Cristóbal and All,
Yes, I have to agree with you when you say: you do notice a difference in
overall performance between your new Xr and your old SE, but it’s not like it’s
night and day either. I’m coming from a phone 6 to a xr in which the phone 6
either over heated or caught fire because
With the newer phones we’re probably dealing with the diminishing returns issue
on processor performance. Especially with VO users like ourselves who don’t’
use graphic intensive games or apps.

As usual, Sieghard, you display imminent sense. I'm probably happier than

even reach this point of mild interest. Processor speed is the only area
where I'd really have to disagree with you. I noticed some fairly large
Hi Michael,
Here is my take on some of what you said:
“I have an iPHONE7 and am pretty happy with it. However, I would jump at the XR
if money were no object.”
I still have my 6S Plus with 64Gb of storage and only using about half. If
money were no object I’d get an iPhone XS Max with 256Gb or
I have an iPHONE7 and am pretty happy with it. However, I would jump at the
XR if money were no object. Things have reached the point where I'd
actually be interested in the improvements to the processor and camera. I
have 3d Touch disabled and never liked it so that's no great loss. The
audio
Yeah, I’m not really anti-iPhone audio, but I’ve just found that for the most
part, I prefer my privacy and cut down on the chatter by either using my
Aftershokz throughout the day or connect to speakers if I want to work out or
listen to music.
The only time I’ve really got the iPhone
I find that even with my 6S there is nothing wrong listening to straight audio
like an audio book or Podcast. Sure, if you are in a big room and are walking
around you want something louder, but that is what my Sonos system is for.

You can also perform the back gesture, the sort of z-shaped swipe, to close a
folder.

I have not heard the XS or the max. But the speakers are a definite upgrade
from the 7+. The stereo field when you have it in landscape mode does seem
wider. I don’t know how they did that, since the phone is really pretty much
the same size is a 7+.
Mary I have not heard the excess or the max.
I bought one of the Apple gel cases on the Apple store and it was $35. I then
found one on Amazon which is identical and probably from the company which made
the one for Apple and it was priced from 14.95 to 16.95 depending on the color.
Lesson learned!
And by the way, I do love the case and
I found, sort of by accident, that after you close the program you can double
tap on the header of the folder and it will close. A bit faster than doing the
swipe up gesture.

For the record, the xs max gives me great battery life. I have used it up to
30 hours before having to charge it. I use it for everything. Email, texting,
push notifications, streaming music and youtube, phone calls, among shopping on
e-bay and amazon. I keep my screen brightness on 0, so
Why doesn’t anyone talk about the speakers? Would I be getting the same stereo
field on the XR as I would with the XS or XS max? is it that much better than
the 7+ or the XPlus?

I should be getting my xR today; went with that one so I could have red. I know
I’ve a bit of a learning curve as I’m coming from a 6S.

The only thing I'm slightly worried about with the XR is FaceID, but I'm sure
it'll work fine for me. I just have never used it before.

OK, I guess people do buy Apple cases and I’m not saying they aren’t nice, but
just as with Apple Watch bands they are overpriced.

I agree with Cristobal, some of these tech writers I guess have to write
something even if it’s mostly complete nonsense. He writes about upgrading from
an iPhone X to an XR for example, now why in the world would anybody want to do
this? He mentions things like 3D Touch, aluminum vs stainless
I got used to the gestures after a while of using my iPhone X but the folder
problem isn't an issue for me since I don't have any apps in folders other than
the default utilities folder.

I agree with you about having to swipe up more than wants to get back to the

Yeah, the status bar thing kind of sucks. Unless I’m doing something wrong or

I jumped from an SE to this XR so missed the whole 3D touch hype entirely.
I wasn’t sure if I was going to get the XR, but bought a case and screen

All the other stuff especially with being blind, really has no impact for us
anyway.
So far, the face
I bought the XR, because pretty much everything that isn’t available there is
visual. 3D Touch is one exception, but since I almost never use it, it just
wasn’t a big thing. So far, no regrets. I will take the better battery life any
day, since I use my phone for so many things.
