My son's phone has been giving him issues lately and it looks like it's time to get him a new one.  Just so happens that AT&T has a buy one, get one offer. The downside is that he will have to change his number but he says he doesn't care. So what better time to get me a phone as well...haha. He says he wants the XR and I am trying to decide if I want the XS or the XS Max. I currently have the 7 plus and it is still a really good phone. I had thought about upgrading mine and giving him this one, but with the deal going on and the fact that he has always gotten hand me downs, I'll probably just get both of us a new one. I just need to get into the store to see the physical size difference between my 7 plus and the XS Max. Who knows, I may end up just upgrading him and keeping mine....

Any suggestions or opinions on the 3 models??

I got the XS because it's the smallest one, but appreciate the extras, the screen, lighter, better camera, 3D touch, potentially faster LTE. But basically, the XR was just way too big for my taste. I've been saying that for each successive iPhone, but size is reaching a tipping point. Compared to earlier models though, it's gotten big and heavy though.

Well, I've got the 7 plus and it's not terrible. I think it is a touch bigger than the XS Max. So, it doesn't sound like size will be a big issue with me. It may actually feel a little better than my 7 plus but would have to pick one up as they are a little heavier than my 7 plus, I think

If you are comfortable with the size of the 7+, then don't hesitate to go with the Max. If you would love a smaller phone than the 7+ but with a much better/bigger screen than the 7, then go with the XS. 

I have the Max and absolutely love it. Beautiful screen and is just a hair smaller than my 8+ but with significantly more screen real estate. 

We did the same thing with our daughter who is in college. We both got new phones and just split the total bill.

I guess that is why I actually need to go physically look...I know the smaller size would actually have a little more display area. So I may get the best of both worlds with the XS. Great points!

      Day 24 (4 Dec 25) - Spent about an hour working with the new 55° wedge in the backyard.  Kept all shots to under 20yds.  Big focus - not decelerating thru downswing and keeping speed up with abbreviated backswing.  Nothing like hitting a low flighted chip with plenty of check spin and then purpose to float a pitch of similar distance.

      Day 114 12-4 Put some work in on backswing, moving the hips correctly, then feeling over to lead side. Didn't hit any balls was just focused on keeping flowy and moving better. I'll probably do another session tonight and add in some foam balls.

      Didn't say anything about your understanding in my post.  Well, if you are not insisting on alignment with logic of the WHS, then no.  Try me/us. What do you want from us then?? You are not making sense. You come here and post in an open forum, question a system that is constructed with logic, without using any of your own and then give us a small window of your personal experience to support your narrative which at first sight does not makes sense.  I mean, if you are a point of swearing then I would suggest you cut your losses and humor a more gullible audience elsewhere. Good heavens.
