I upgraded from an iPhone 7 to an iPhone XS and FaceID and the faster processing speeds have been huge improvements for me too.

I find myself frustrated now when I am using a mobile device that doesn't respond as quickly and efficiently as my iPhone XS. The speed at which apps open/websites load, and the accompanying battery life... huge fan. My iPhone 7 would last until about 7 PM before it needed another charge, my XS lasts all day + night and I find myself using it more than I did my 7.

It’s still a replacement phone vs an upgrade phone. When you need to replace, get the latest, otherwise no urgency to upgrade.

I also went from 7 to X and it was a massive upgrade. The speed alone, but the screen is where I really noticed it.
