Every fall, Apple introduces new iPhones. And every fall, many iPhone users wonder: should I upgrade? 

This year was, in Apple parlance, an “S year,” which means that one of the new iPhones, the iPhone XS, was an iterative upgrade rather than a total overhaul. Which begs the question: if you have an iPhone X, which is only a year old, do you need to upgrade? 

Or, if you’re looking for a new device, should you go for the cheaper option and buy last year’s phone over the new iPhone XS?

This year, the differences between the two phones are minor, but there are still a few things that set the new phone apart. Here’s how the iPhone X compares to the iPhone XS.
