I have a 6 and it’s getting dreadfully slower every day. Screen freezes too often. Looked at XS as well a few weeks ago and indeed, there’s no comparison, but I still cannot justify the cost to myself when the main benefit will be that I’ll be able to tweet faster

This is 100% my thought process. I hate the idea of spending that much and it going to apple. But phones are really inseparable now. And my battery life is literally two hours.

Replace the battery on the 6 and it’s like new. Last year the battery replacement was $30. I think it’s more now but not by much. I replaced my battery and it was amazing. I want to upgrade eventually but not in a hurry any more.

Apple says my water sensor went off so I am not eligible.

Yea. Mostly because I think people are getting tired of me saying, "may phone may die, if it does and you can't reach me, let's meet at <longitude,latitude>."pic.twitter.com/ZjBk3qtOoV

Do it for the well-being of your friends and family. It’s an act of altruism really! Or so you can argue

If you switch to T-Mobile they have a promo now for a new XR for relatively cheap, with trade-in. Trade of a 6S I think saves you $200 or $250 or so. Not too bad. Also I like their free data/SMS when traveling internationally. (If you do switch let me know, I can refer you.)

Actually even better! Just checked — the promo with new iPhone is even cheaper than just the plan with no phone!

I don’t qualify (new lines only) but wow!
