iPhone XS Max or...

Submitted by rasim59 t3_10m0tii in iphone

Hi guys! My brief story - first iphone - 6s plus in 2019, then couple of SE and 6's before I bought 11 in 2020, new. Then i sold it and bought an XR cause i needed money. Sold my XR and last year I've been rocking google pixel 2xl. Now it's the time to move back to apple and I've found some really good prices. F.e. - iPhone XS max ~300$, was bought in october 2020, really good conditions. My question is - is the screen gonna last one more year 'fore i switch to a newer iPhone?
Thanks to everyone for your attention and help😅

My concern wouldn’t be about the screen, I don’t see that going out unless you’re constantly dropping the phone. My concern would be more of how much has the battery been used up to this point, that’s probably the only repair you’ll have to get done on it.

It's 86%, i think good enough

Percentage does not always accurately represent current capability. I’ve seen phones with high capacities that die within a few minutes/seconds after unplugging.

You’re correct. I have a MacBook Pro that Apple says has good battery health but it only lasts about an hour off charger and needs plugged in order to turn on. It just popped up yesterday that my battery needs servicing but in the settings it still says that the capacity is good

That's what i was considering, but i like the oled and the whole design of xs max, just classy.

Look for the 11 Pro. Very similar design and much better than the XS.

Yeah, bur it's gonna be at least an additional hundred $ on top

It’s really worth it though. The 11 Pro was one of the best iPhones ever.

The XS Max is kinda old this point. They've caught my eye too, but it would be a downgrade from my SE in terms of processor.

but still for me it's gonna be an upgrade, first of all, and then secondly, I think A12 is gonna be sufficient for basic video recording in 1080 (maybe 4k rarely) and some casual youtube insta binance stuff
