Yeah I’ve gone from buying yearly to buying / upgrading every 2 years if I can afford it, So I don’t see myself upgrading to the 11s or 12 what evr it’s called this year but then the way things are going I’ll more likely purchase what ever the lower end of next years range is, like the 11 last

Sorry, but I don’t understand that constant urge many people have to get rid of a high-end device which probably works absolutely perfectly well and in many cases does a lot more than what people need just to buy the next high-end device a year or year and a half later. OK, maybe I qualify this

So if the 11 and the xr are to big then try looking at the 11 pro, Problem there though is the price goes up but the size goes down. Interesting what people think though, I didn't think the 11 was that large and after a while the 11 pro max isn't either. -Original Message- From:

The advantage to the 8 is I believe it comes with iOS 12 and if you find iOS 13 buggy you don't have to upgrade it. also the storage size on the 9 is rumored to be 64 and 128 same as the 8. So if you want an 8 grab one now. -Original Message- From: viphone@googlegroups.com On Behalf
