My daughters iPhone 7+ has the dreaded IC chip issue so I need to get her a new phone nice apple won’t fix a known issue with their devices. I was going to get her an IP8+ as the price just dropped but then saw for only $50 more k can get her an Xr, which is what I have. I would get her AppleCare as she is more likely to drop her phone than I am.
Now I’m wondering if I give her my Xr (which does have AppleCare) and I buy myself the 11 for $100 more. I wouldn’t get AC as I will keep it in a heavy duty case. Plus Apple says they made the glass stronger this year (yeah right).
For the $100 more I get the faster chip (who cares), better camera (I like), 4GB of ram vs 3GB (I multitask a lot so I assume this would help) and an extra hour of batter life. Wondering if I am justifying spending more money then I really have to just to get a new device... thoughts?
