Does the xs max still hold up today? (alien.top)

Im thinking of downgrading to the xs max to save money on my phone payment and I remember the xs max being my favorite iPhone, both functionally and physically.

I understand it’s now 5 generations behind but it still supports the latest IOS. Is it super slow now?

If all you do is text, call, email, and use safari then yeah it’s probably fine.

Not only that most games also run totally fine and cameras are still good enough I would say

If the battery is good, the rest is good

Battery wouldn’t be an issue as I keep it charged 60% of the time anyway

Why not just save and buy a used iphone. Or buy a cheap phone and not have a payment? Having to make payments on any electronics seems dumb unless its needed for work or ur getting a deal.

It's still one of my most favorite iPhones and I use mine on one of my lines to this day.
