3. Buy an iPhone X or 8

The iPhone X and 8 offer almost the same features that the XS does. Both the X and Xs offer edge-to-edge OLED screen, a dual camera, facial recognition and 3D Touch.
The only benefits that the Xs offer are a 512GB storage (expensive) and 90 minutes more of battery life compared to the X, but less compared to the 8.
The Xs has two rear cameras but the cameras have roughly the same capabilities as the 8.
