It’s talked up quite a bit but I’m not really sure. It might be different actually using it but reading about it just didn’t vibe with me in a way that I felt I needed it or even wanted it.

I like mine, I don’t think I could say a bad thing about it. I don’t really feel like I’m missing anything not having used the dynamic island or really having a need for a top of line camera.

I did back around the 8 plus and I have 0 regrets. All around switching was just a higher quality experience to match the higher quality product. I’d routinely go through an android in less than 2 years and that’s if it was stellar, the battery always got shitty fast and the phone always slowed way down.

I had my 8 plus for years and never had an issue with it. I actually had the phone long enough that I upgraded out of sheer wanting to rather than having an actual need for it. The battery wasn’t as great after a few years but that’s expected and it still would last me a normal day.

I liked Touch ID myself but I’ve had far less issues with face id. I almost never have a problem and it’s unlocked pretty much when I look at it. Where as the touch I almost needed to wipe down every handful of times.
