1. Well, for now, everything, of course, flies. Not a hint of slowdown / freeze, everything is very smooth and fast. So far, I really get high from this, but I admit that it was about the same in the first months on cheaper Androids. Everything will depend on the duration of such work. Therefore, this plus is rather an advance.
2. Excellent camera (compared to my previous models). Although now very cool cameras and software are installed on modern smartphones (I saw pictures from huawei p30 pro - very cool). Subjectively, I really like how hdr works. The video is amazing too.
3. Great sound. And the whole thing - both in multimedia and in conversational dynamics.
4. Chic appearance (I'm talking about space gray). Laconic, stylish, looks very solid.
5. Good cellular reception and 4g.
6. Cool wifi receiver, other things being equal, the speed is higher than on all my other gadgets
7. Close to ideal dimensions - on the one hand, the screen is really large due to a decent usable area. On the other hand, you can control with one hand, this is a prerequisite for me. On xr, you already have to attract a second hand.
8. Execution of face id. In general, face id is a rather controversial moment for me. Probably, I would still prefer touch id due to the fact that I like to use the navigator in the car with the phone in a horizontal position, which, unfortunately, face id does not allow. However, in the vertical position, it works almost perfectly, there is something to compare.
9. Well executed software. First, the already pre-installed apps are pretty good. Secondly, applications for the iPhone are made in most cases in a more interesting style.
10. In general, the control on iOS turned out to be quite user-friendly and the transition to it from Android was almost painless, I expected the worst.
11. E-sim - I have never used it, but I suspect it is a handy thing when traveling.
