I've never been able to convince myself to shell out $600+ for a premium phone.

You have zero service outside the US, unless you have access to WiFi.I use Republic Wireless too but it is not the best when going outside of the US.
However, as long as there is a WIFI connection you are good to go.
I'm holding onto my iPhone 6s for dear life.
I'm holding onto my iPhone 6s for dear life. Years ago I was an Android guy, but when work issued me an iPhone 5s ~ 2013 I soon become a convert. My experience with Android up to that point was after about 1 year of getting a new phone a major update would finally be released, and bring my phone to a screeching halt. I messed with custom ROMs and bootloaders to get the performance back on those Androids, but boy seeing my work iPhone get constant updates and continue to function like it did day one...
My current iPhone 6s shows no signs of slowing despite the inappropriate number of times I've dropped it (thanks tech21 case! And a new battery!)
Every now and then an Android phone will catch my eye, but then vendor customizations to Android quickly kill off the idea. A Google Pixel with stock Android is the most tempting but the price disparity between the Pixel and iPhone isn't nearly as compelling.
I'd love to get away from Verizon but nothing matches the coverage when I'm up in Northern WI.
However, now I'm not too sure what the upgrade path will be as I hate the face unlock gizmo because of lack of convenience and security and going back to typing an unlock pin will feel really awkward when I can have it done at a push of a button.
I'm currently using an iPhone X, and I rarely have any issues with the face scanning unlock. Have there been documented security issues with it? It works at about the same frequency as the thumb unlock did on early models. Sometimes I need to slightly adjust the alignment of the camera and rescan, just like sometimes I would have to adjust my thumb and rescan. Doesn't bother me!
I love the Face ID, the only thing that I think is a downgrade compared to Touch ID is not being able to easily unlock the phone while it's laying flat on my desk.
