Face ID is really nice in that 90% of the time it’s like my phone isn’t even locked. Especially with raise to unlock, it just completely gets out of the way.

I like wireless chargers because you can just put your phone down and it starts charging. I’m a big fan of things charging whenever you put them away, like the Pencil 2, DualSense controllers with the station, or joy con going back into the Switch. I always remember to put stuff away when I’m done, but I used to easily forget to charge them as well, so this has been a big improvement overall for me.

I have bought the MagSafe battery because it’s super useful, especially when you have an iPhone Mini (the only one that’s usable one-handed). I don’t have to compromise and get a giant phone for battery life, and that’s neat.

( Android people may say it’s an iPhone problem, but I’m not aware of any Android phone that’s the same size and quality as an iPhone Mini )

Face ID, much more storage (all my music downloaded in lossless quality), a bright screen I can actually read in the summer, wireless charging.

The rest of the new stuff I use, I omitted, because they are software features, and I don’t think it’s fair to say the older phone couldn’t have ran them if given the chance.

Even though Apple is much, much nicer with device longevity than any Android manufacturer, I still feel like there should be a way to force updates on old devices. Just put disclaimers that devices updated this way will not receive support or something.
