Dude if the price is that important to you you probably can't afford it!It was the harder to find 64gb version. And iOS devices hold their value a lot better than even flagship Android phones. An iPhone 8+ was $799 at launch for a 64gb version. The Galaxy s8+ MSRP was $850 for the 64gb I believe. iPhone 8+'s are going for $600+ on Offerup around me, Galaxy s8+'s about $450. The only iPhone 8+'s s going for Galaxy prices have badly cracked screens. You can get more for a locked iPhone 8+ then a perfect condition LG v20. HTC & LG phones don't hold their value at all really, and are much tougher to sell. So them being much cheaper when they come out is kind of a wash when a $500 phone's selling used $200 16 months after it came out. I sell a lot of phones on Offerup and at least in my area there's no comparison iPhones sell quicker and always get you much more money. And about other brand Android (LG, HTC whatever) I could probably sell a Blackberry about as fast as a v20.
I've never used Swappa so I can't comment on prices there, and I'm sure it's much quicker to sell most phones. But I've sold probably 150 phones on CL and now Offerup over the years.
Xs Max, yes. Xs, no. iPhone Xs Max does make my Galaxy S9+ feel like a mid-range phone.If I have iPhone X is it worth upgrading over XS if I have Tmobile Jump plan?
The j7 has a smaller screen than the iPhone Xs......j7 -- 5,5 Xs -- 5.8Yeah, I'm currently looking at first smartphones for my parents and Apple just doesn't have anything nearly affordable enough for them. I was looking into the SE, but they were still going for quite a bit more than the new samsung J7, and the J7 has a bigger screen anyway which my dad needs.
The S9+ and the Xs are both n5.8....the same sizeUpgraded my wife's phone from a iPhone 7 to XS 256. Frankly what struck me the most (as it has on the Android side as well) is how little difference new phones make in day to day use. Yes you get some more screen real estate and the camera is better, but you don't notice the performance in normal use and ultimately you're still surfing the same sites, messaging in the same apps, etc. The plateau IMO is real and I'd actually recommend the XR to most people now.
Oddly enough, the XS felt weirdly similar to my S9+, though obviously smaller. It felt dense (unlike the metal iPhones which now feel ridiculously light), it's all screen and glass, the cameras are more alike than ever before, and you use the same apps on either device.
I honestly don't understand folks who are die hard in either camps - I can switch between either phone and if not for the different gestures, my experience is almost identical.
