U can get XR now..
While keeping your note9..
I dont think there will be a huge jump in specs for xr2...
anyway u can always sell it if u want latest and greatest...

4months is a long wait...

Price of XR now is very attractive...
In carousel its less than $1k for 128gb model....
But i dont advise getting XS/XS max now....
Since price is still high...

Ya, have an old AW2 I can use for now. Can get an XR and use for a few months. New model come out, hopefully price won't drop too much..

for me i got bored of ios and switched to s10+ just last week. love it cz i need the ultra wide cam on some occasions, night mode and screen. i switched on the expectation that i will never experienced that fluidity of ios, nothing beats it! if i miss ios experience, i just use my IPP 3rd gen.

now ill be using it till the release or iphne 11. (hopefully) :s13::s13::s13:

just hold on to ur n9 if you can. if not then get xs max or xr. depends on ur budget. :D

If you only surf web and msg iPhone 6s is good enough.

For me I cannot as I play game on iPhone. If I use 6s sure lag like crazy

Jumped over to Android using Samsung Note 9 and galaxy watch for the past few months. While I love the better camera, I miss the smoothness of IOS and the unreplaceable Apple Watch series 4.
Galaxy watch is nowhere near AW4...
Ranting here...

actually...you can't really use note 9 to compare....the local set note 9 is using the lousy exynos processor... :)

Apps in iOS looks a lot better compare to android version... i hope developers can refine the android version for better experience....

One thing i really like with android is the AOD...

Yes, I agree apps like ‘rough’ on android. Due to Android catering for all phone models, alignment of the buttons and screens are mostly not there.
Apps made for IOS is smoother and more proper in terms of look and feel experience,IMO.

Having used my fair share of samseng & iphones, i have to go with samseng in terms of design & features. They are a step ahead most of the time coming out with new things before others.

But what made me kept going back to iphone includes:
- Battery life. No matter how i configure them none of my samseng phones (note 7 being the latest i used) have decent battery life. After overnight charging & waking up with 100%, they are usually 40% or less when i reach home. With same usage pattern my iphone is easily 60% or more.

- iOS just seems better put together compared to android & for that matter whatever extras the samseng UI brings.

- Partially linked to battery life but i dont need to manually configure every app to squeeze out every last drop of battery life.

- I’ve yet to find a decent music player on android. Where else the vanilla player in iOS works perfectly at least for my needs.

- Less of an issue but nevertheless, im a MBP user so when u pair that with an iphone, the entire apple eco system between machine, apps, iOS & Mac OS, etc just makes total sense.

What feature of the Apple watch are you most reliant about? I use note 8 as my main, IP X with the tpg SIM and the Apple Watch.. many times I would go out without the iPhone. Apple pay still works without network

I am back to IOS because of AW.
My AW2 still rocks despite it being so ‘old’.
Very trustworthy especially during payments unlike the GW.
When AW5 comes out, I am getting the cellular version cos numbershare is finally with SH!

Saving money, using back an old 6s plus. The battery life can’t last half a day!
Lucky found an old Baseus battery case. Very good but damn heavy case!
Shopee has this Hari Raya sale on 6 Jun. XR 256gb for $1019 after $100 off with 1 year warranty. I know will probably lose about at least $200 selling it off after Oct. Still considering...
