Hey guys.
As my contract (my German one) is ending next month, I have to decide what mobile to get next. Sure: It'll be an iPhone.
Now I searched on the hp of my network and saw the iPhone X is about the same upfront-price as the XR.
-The XS isn't an option as it's more than 600€.
So X is the old "prime" model. Is it better?
The XR seems not a big gap to XS (body, camera, screen) and even has a better battery.
Should I go for the X or XR?
As it's better for a discussion I will not name my favourite by now.
Cheers,
CC

@ComaChameleon I would go for XR
Better CPU
Bigger screen
Better performance
Dual sim (one nano sim and one esim)
- esim in uk for XS and XR at the moment only supported by EE, O2 will support next year. I love the esim because now I can use my EE esim and my O2 nano sim. Because you said Germany, Telekom and Vodafone support esim there. Then you can have your UK sim
Face ID is just great, can’t go back to fingerprint. Once you get used to it you will be fine.

You mean it just gets slower or is it the better for the battery?
Thought making "old" phones slower is forbidden now
Because it's newer?

Thanks @liggerz87
Still a bit nervous about face-ID. But every of the new ones has, so no other option.
And what's "E-sim"?
