Leaning towards the 8+ because of these reasons: Longer battery life. Larger screen. Cheaper price. Annoyed of the fact that XS doesn’t show the battery %. Left and right swipe from the top of the XS should be for notification and the center should be for control center. The unequal holes at the bottom of the XS. Would like to hear your thoughts. Better battery life and camera system mainly. But coming from the 6 plus as my last iPhone, one-handed use is pretty limited even with reachability unless you've got manimal paws. The inverse is true for the 8, better ease of use one handed but "worse" camera and battery. I'd try them out in the Apple store for a bit and see which one you It has the same camera and features, except just one lens – the wide-angle camera, instead of the dual-lens – which brings in slight telephoto, like on the XS and XS Max, 8 Plus and 7 Plus. Even the display sees a significant improvement on the Pixel 8. For starters, Google bumped up the refresh rate — while the Pixel 7a shared the same 90Hz rate as found on the Pixle 7, you get a I bought a 12 Mini roughly 6 weeks ago direct from Apple after breaking the home button on my 8 Plus. The first two weeks were an absolute honeymoon period and I loved how easily I could hold the phone with one hand and type and scroll one handed. Holding the 8 Plus felt gargantuan and foreign. In general, Pixel performs better on outdoor and night mode, while iPhone does better on indoor and low light. Pixel has more editing functions, such as the new magic editor. It's pretty fun and even works on photos taken on iPhone. But it's quite slow (due to Tensor G3?) and doesn't always come out good result. It seems that no matter what settings I adjust, pictures from the front camera on my XS Max look significantly worse than on my 8 Plus. The selfie camera pictures on the 8 Plus look sharper and more saturated. In comparison, the selfie camera pictures on my XS look grainier and have an almost watercolor quality smoothness to them. Updated this morning on the 8 plus. So far everything working well, battery seems to be draining a little faster but that could just be from the fresh update. I used to have little slowdowns and freezes with safari and switching between apps, but I haven’t encountered it yet with iOS 16. I ran the CPU and compute benchmarks in Geekbench 5 .
