I've had the phone for about 6 months
So far battery has held up great. I'm a heavy phone user (not sure I love admitting that). My phone easily goes 8 hours with margin. I can get 10-12 hours. For me, that's been the biggest upside of the phone.

The cameras are nice. I like the 3 different lenses. It still struggles in low light, but my expectations are skewed as I have a good DSLR that does awesome in low light.

The screen is great. Pretty similar to what I'm used to with the Samsung phones. The thing I like most is that it's flat and can easily put on a screen protector. Normally I don't even bother with a screen protector with the curved Samsung screens.

The iPhone user benefits really start showing up when you buy into the ecosystem. I have an iPad, an iMac, and my wife and daughter have iPhones. Sharing stuff between all them is really easy with airdrop. iCloud ties everything together for pictures and documents. Printing works better for me with my HP printer. Airdrop has been great, both to my TV and my stereo.

The face unlock works well and I'm happy with it. I didn't mind the finger print scanner on my Samsung.

It's a massive phone. I have XL size hands, and still feel like it's borderline too big.

Saving PDF documents is more of a pain. File management is lacking. I'm hoping that this improves when they update the OS in a couple months.

For me, I'm still not convinced that it is worth the price. I got it as part of a promotion. It's expensive. My wife has the iPhone 11. I think I might have been 95% as happy with that. That said, I'm not switching out.
