To update some thoughts I had put out a few days ago, I will wait on the 5G second generation before making that jump too. If I upgrade my phone, it will be to an iPhone 11. I like the idea of night mode for using Aira. Also, to those getting the 10R or 11, remember you may be able to trade-in your current phone for credit on your account, or even better to take off a little of the purchase price or monthly payments for the next phone. $600 is pretty reasonable for the 11, but what if it could be $100 cheaper or more.
