Time for a new company phone.
I have a choice to make. Currently using an iPhone 7 after three generations 6-7 years of Galaxy S, S3 and S5. I prefer Android but would have to switch carriers as the S9+ is only offered with Verizon. Verizon is the only carrier with the option to pick a phone, the other two carriers are iPhone only for our corporate plan. If I go with the iPhone XR, I can stay with AT&T.
I don't have to decide today, and will go to a Verizon store and try them both.
Of course I'm concerned about having my number ported properly if I choose Verizon/S9+
For me, the pluses with staying with an iPhone is I stay with my carrier and have my WiFi on Verizon, giving me two different carriers for my travels. The downside is (to me) that I'm using an iPhone.
The pluses of going with the S9+ are it's not an iPhone and it seems to have some advantages in areas I find appealing such as adding an SD card, better battery life and higher screen resolution. But I have to switch carriers to go this way.
So what does the BITOG brain trust think about this?
