I purchased my iPhone XR November 2018 and it’s still 100% battery because I only use it for texting and calling. Last year I purchased a refurbished iPhone X off Walmart website for $189 I use it as a second hand phone for watching KZitem and listening to music. It’s battery health was 78% when it came in the mail so I replaced the battery for $65.00 at s phone store.

I bought XR for my mom 3 years ago. It still performing well day to day, but expect noticeable slower performance due to ever increasing demand in resources for apps nowadays. Battery health is at 79% and currently deciding to get battery replacement or giving her my 14 Pro instead when 16 Pro comes out. Another issue with XR is the famous image retention issues after years of using it. I'm disappointed because my older XS with OLED doesn't have any sign of burn in on it. LCD should last longer than OLED.

My mother has a 256 gig XR which my father used previously and it's doing pretty much fine except having a somewhat bad battery. And there was something funny happened few years back. One day out of nowhere some weird black line was slowly emerging from the display and I thought my mom probably have dropped it and she told me she haven't.. The lines grew larger day by day and suddenly after few months the lines were gone. But the edges of the screen is now starting to get greenish. The early signs of the display dying. But all I can say is that the Xr is more reliable than modern iPhones. Heck we even had to replace the display of the 13 Pro because it went off out of the blue. Which is total crap. Never happened with older iphones though..

@kyleritchie862
Ай бұрын
PWM (Pulse Width Modulation) dimming is a technique used to control the brightness of a display or LED by adjusting the duration of pulses of light. It rapidly turns the light source on and off at a frequency, and the ratio of on-time to off-time determines the perceived brightness While it is a useful approach, extended exposure to high-frequency PWM displays can induce eye strain, headaches, and discomfort@@shaukatalimhlongo787y
@gehadsheha4775
Ай бұрын
@shaukatalimhlongo787y Pulse Width Modulation, it's something that affects around 10% of the population and causes a headache when viewing OLED displays that use PWM to adjust their brightness, which is means the display flicker at different speeds at different brightness levels and for most displays the screen flickering slow enough is usually at the lower brightness levels (usually 30%) or less. The screen flickering also at higher brightness levels doesn't affect these individuals because it flickers to quickly to be visible to the human eye. Finally, most manufacturers mitigate this issue by using other methods to control the brightness of the screen such as DC Dimming: DC dimming uses a constant voltage to control the brightness of the screen, rather than PWM. Higher PWM Frequencies: Higher PWM frequencies can reduce the perception of flicker and improve eye comfort. Hybrid Dimming: Hybrid dimming combines PWM with DC dimming to reduce the effects of PWM. Hope I helped you understand.

Not an iphone user, but I have a buddy who uses the XR up until now (probably still going until Sept 2024). Still going strong, battery health at 80%, a bit choppy on the performance but manageable. The one thing that he complains the most is definitely the overheating, and I kid you not, it is pretty toasty. We live at Southeast Asia, and its all warm and damp here, no snows, just rain and sun, all year long. He had it since 2019 (a year after the release but it is still old, stg). Mad respect for this phone, still able to sustain MLBB like a champ, and probably will do so for another year or two. From his words, its not worth the "budget iphone" option, a lot of stuff XR is getting outdated, and it's pretty much an ip 11 with one camera (literally). Might as well go for an 11. He also suggested me to get the 12 if I was to have an ip as my second phone. But we'll see how, I guess. Not a fan, but definitely deserved the recognition. XR is probably the peak iphone of its era, and I stand by that forever

XR was our first iphone. We were happy using XR until 2024. Sadly we were forced to migrate to 14 because my town and nearby cities are getting worse and worse LTE reception to a point that we may lost connection for hours. The phone is stil seeing one to two bar of signals. But, there could be no data connections when we try to access the web. We were lucky to have the 128gb version. The XR UI feels reasonably responsive even at the latest iOS today. Battery heath were 96+ we last checked. I remember during these years we moved quite a few towns and countrirs. In some places, our XR receptions were always not the best when comparing with other newer iphones or Samsung. In a lot of cases when XR temp lost connections, our other phones were still capable of receiving messages and sending pictures. If LTE reception is not an issue, XR is a very decent iphone even on 2024.

I will only upgrade when Apple shops shipping new OS for this (as I get really excited to enjoy the new core features) and move on to either iPhone 12/13 or 16 (if Apple Intelligence, really amazes me) and this phone will be passed on to my 17 year old nephew.

i had a coral Xr back in 2018-2020. i really only stopped using it because i had to, i wound up having an awful fall at my old job where i wiped out and my phone went flying across a large room and it smacked into a wall and then the ground equally as hard, and despite being in a very thin rubber case, both the screen and back glass spider web shattered everywhere, and the phone only continued to really work for about a month. to this day, id say 30% of the touch screen, the whole bottom of it almost up to the halfway point, the digitizer just died in that area, so it renders the phone useless because you can’t even unlock it. these days tho, ive found new screens for as cheap as $35, so im thinking about fixing it now to have as a backup iPhone and just because i forget what iOS it’s even on i think it would be fun to see iOS from 4 years ago. currently have a 14 Pro tho, and it’s still going strong after a year but im probably gonna have Apple put a new battery in this phone once it gets awful so i can keep using this one for years for once. hopefully i dont break this one.

I used to have a xr just 5 months ago as my second phone i put it in lower mode my battery was 86% i mean i didnt have to charge it for a day but that’s probably because i dont use it as much as i do my iphone 14 pro max

I bought the iPhone XR about a year ago for $230, and at that time, the battery life was at 83% and everything worked perfectly. After a year of usage, unfortunately, the Face ID stopped working and the battery health has decreased to 78%. Despite these issues, the phone still lasts me a day. However, I'm now faced with the decision of either getting the Face ID and battery fixed or upgrading to the iPhone 13 Pro.

If I were you, I would just use the money on another phone. I think it would cost quite a bit to fix the Face ID and replace the battery also. 😊

I managed to snag a iPhone XS in perfect condition with 83 battery health for 95$ only issue with the phone being no Face ID which I’m sure effects it if trying to use it as a daily driver but I bought it just to Jailbreak it since my daily iPhone 14 pro max can’t be JB but what I find odd and kinda annoying my iPhone 14 pro max is younger yet has almost the same battery health and I got the 14 pm 5 months before the 15 dropped

The only thing making this thing feel slow is the 60Hz screen. If it had even 90Hz, it would still feel so smooth like a new phone.

So my daily driver iPhone, the one that my Sim card is in, is an iPhone 12. I think it's still fast on iOS 17. But I am watching this video on an iPhone XR which runs iOS 17 OK. The overall speed of the phone isn't bad, but touch Input is very laggy for some reason. Also the Face ID module is broken.

I have a XS Max running the latest stable 17.5.1 and another one running 16.2 and oh my, the 16.2 one's UI just flies. The 17 is just heavy. It feels heavy even in my primary 15 Pro Max during some cases which is sad. The dev BETA experience was horrible as expected so I downgraded back to the stable 17.

My only question is, why does the red iPhone always have product in parentheses and all caps along with red next to it like we get that it’s a red iPhone

Honestly don’t see the point in getting a new one if you have the XR. Just replace the battery and keep using it. I’m using an original iPhone SE and I have 0 issues with it. If I have 0 issues with this device I find it hard to believe people actually “need” to upgrade when they have an XR. Probably just people with high standards or picky.

I still don't get how a phone of that premuim released when it did ... Did notcome with FHD just HD... Like does apple not know most content then and now is FHD and above and if not can be upscaled or just have more stuff on screen? Like no one find it funny that the AVP being full 4k over the quest 3 near 4K is pushed as a massive selling point. But then the XR bless it's heart does not need FHD? Any way It's a great phone may have even force Google to release the A models and I'm glad it sold well for the small phone fans.
