I have one (32GB) , but I use it really only for travelling so it’s not my daily driver. My daily phone is a Moto One Android so I don’t really load the iPhone up with programs and such. The main stuff are travel related ones for airline and train tickets and such, besides music.
I got this one as a refurb so the battery says it’s in top shape, but my only real gripes are that when using walking directions that google maps for some reason like to take up more of the little space there is, but doesn’t when it’s for driving directions and that google maps devours the battery life.
Yes, the screen is small, but for the odd time I need to look something up, it’s fine plus also pocketable and still has the headphone jack.
Itunes is still lightyears for music compared to anything Android has, let alone when you’re in the car.
I’m using this phone until it’s run into the grave or breaks apart, but understand that I’m probably an outlier here.
The CX-3 will be fine.
Unless you’re planning to go up something extremely steep, you’ll be ok.
I’ve driven mine across Canada and taking windy roads during trips from BC to Napa and Portland.
Although I’d never do anything crazy like this regardless of the vehicle:
