Which would you get new?
The XR is 2 years old which puts me off.

Size of the device is prob the deciding factor here.

SE if you're used to that iPhone 6/7/8 form factor and Touch ID.

XR if you've already spent time with Face ID and the newer UI (swipe up from bottom for home, etc).

Else it's just about screen size and battery life - XR wins for both. I have one and it's still plenty quick enough for everything I do, 2 years on.

I’ve just gone from 6S to XR

The new swiping up takes a bit of getting used to, but that’s life. You adapt quickly - I’m 47.

Battery life is a massive improvement!
The Face ID is another big +

I’m happy!
