XR for me.
Honestly the biggest issue that was pushing me to update was that my podcatcher had been getting laggier and slower to respond to remote commands when minimized. I thought it was a ram constraint, but the developer refactored the 10 year old code base last month and now it’s zippy as heck.
Now, my only issues are ones expected of any phone of its age: battery wear (repairable), RAM limiting minimized persistence of modern apps (no compelling leap until maybe this year) and storage space (manageable). I am looking forward to MagSafe, USB-C, Oled and left behind support for AirPods whenever I eventually do upgrade.
I had a XR until 18 months ago, and honestly, it was still a solid device. But part of the good thing about using an iPhone is how well they hold their value, so I made the choice to sell it while it was still worth £150. Put that towards a 13 mini which will serve me nicely for a couple more years yet.
