To be honest, I prefer the "sharp" edges over the slippy rounded ones of the newer models because it gives a better grip. Your mileage may vary but I don't feel that old design uncomfortable.

Same here. I just upgraded to the iPhone XR.
Super shiny, glossy and smooth. And ridiculously slippery.
It can fall out of my grip when held with one hand. It can literally slide of a level surface (I have to be careful where I put it when charging). It’s amazing how many annoying things this decision to make it look shiny over functional has caused.
My “sharp” iPhone SE had none of these problems.
