contemplating switch to XR from 8+
but trying to hold off firing my bullets as i just bought an apple watch that costs over $1k

anyone in a similar dilemma?

I'm in the opposite situation as you lol. Splurged on the XR and now in a dilemma about whether to keep or return my S4.

Never used the 8+ as I was using the 8 but to be I feel the XR is a step-up from the 8 series. For me it's a gain across the board with better battery life, camera and performance. But since you're coming from the 8+ you might lose the 1080p, bokeh on non-human subjects and some of the Portrait Lighting effects. I never had them on the iPhone 8 so maybe I don't know what I'm missing but if you want bokeh on any objects using the XR, it's somewhat possible with the Halide camera app. I purchased it and so far it works well. The biggest gain for me is the battery life. Cannot show enough appreciation on how good it is on the XR.

All the best!

Splurging on 1k for a gadget watch is...

Some may say it's a waste of money but some may say it's very worthwhile and satisfying. Well since it's an Apple Watch, I belong to the latter :s13:

Just spend within your means and enjoy the gadget as much as possible.

Yes unless you really like 3D Touch. But haptic touch will get more support soon.

Exchanged with wife..previously on X.. used to swipe up for multitask or home. Suddenly use assistive touch feel abit weird thou.

3D touch I don’t really use it. So maybe nothing to me
