- the iPhone XR is one my favourite iPhones of all time but can you still use it now in 2023? iOS 17 has just been released for the iPhone XR with potentially its last ever update but how does this make the phone feel in 2023?

My battery percentage is at 93 percent at 2 year mark… and that’s after an unhealthy amount of use basically 24/7, tbh a really great reliable phone. I just bought my 15 pro max, but it has been my best phone up to this date
I can't let the XR go yet 😭
I’ve had it since 2021 I wanna upgrade but there no rush this phone calm
you can replace the battery and it’ll like brand new!!
give me the Xr please.
@@1PaulJ ive been using my xr for a while i like it alot but im thinking of selling it for a iphone 13
The ghosting is because the XR has an LCD display. There's something different about how they work vs an OLED. I specifically notice it when the phone is very cold. If you compare an iPhone 12 (OLED) to an iPhone 11 in cold weather, you will 100% notice a difference.
Ahh interesting to know
Excellent video update on the IPhone XR.
Appetite it 🤓
Battery health is a bit concern but for calls social media lite games and if you are using it in an official environment you are good to go with it. Still a beast atleast far more better than many budget androids
I agree 👀
My teenagers still love their Xr’s! The Xr, 11 and SE are the only choices for the 10% of us who can’t use OLED due to PWM. I’m PRAYING they don’t use OLED on the SE 4!
I agree that most people don't need a lot of the stuff in newer phones but they're all nice to haves
What’s pwm
OLED in Iphone 15 starts burn-in issues the greatest downfall of apples iphone series 😂
I bought the iPhone XR in October 2019 & the battery health is 85% now after more than 4 years
Great video 😊
😍
oh yeah the reason why the XR's display feels slow or you get that "ghosting" feeling you described. I assumed that it is because OLED displays has a significantly faster response time compared to say, an LCD like on this iPhone. And that's the reason why when you came back to using this, it felt sluggish. I do not know how much faster oled iphones are compared to an lcd iphone since i've only heard this from monitors.
Ahh there we go then could explain it!
Im using my XR daily till now and its supper comfy, one and only that is not comfortable for me is the backglass and all fingerprint on it. But still after 5years still good smartphone to use. I think it is apples one of the best product
Watching this on IPhone XR works really well for me, don’t have any plans to change it, it satisfies my needs almost perfectly, bought it last year, refurbished. It broke down a couple of times, that was the only pain in the ass for me, fixed it in a local workshop. Also after upgrading to new IOS 17, I have a feeling like I have a new phone, which is pretty cool. And also XR looks much more authentic comparing to any other model and also have the best colour collection
how's the battery life compared to ios 16
@@_anshif879 didn't notice any difference
I’ve had it since February 17th 2021 2024 iPhone 12 Pro Max I think will be solid
Does ios animations lag on the Xr ? Like those app opening closing ,app switching animations
@@Wassupbro999 slowly lagging yes I have the phone it’s still okay at the same time im upgrading next yesr
I’m still using my XR. It’s working fine for now but I still plan on upgrading next year.
What colour?
Can you please tell how much is a brand new iPhone xr in USA in November 2023
Uhm,I just got my 10r In this part of the world,used. What IOS do you think would perfectly fit it. Sits at 16.4
Stout bezels are valued by older people and teenagers alike for the simple reason that they are tough and give good leverage and steadying.
The young adults into fashionable and latest for the sake of it will happily give heaps of money to Tim Cooke and the company but the engineers are the people to listen to. Many predict that cell phones will shrink again soon, be thicker [not heavier] and even restore the audio jack, especially for the giant Asian market.
i legit just upgraded yesterday... mine got terribly slow and had bad battery (at "92" health). camera took 10s of seconds to open etc...
Yeah the app slowness can kill you
I have a iPhone XR at 90% battery health and Its not my main phone anymore but still use it to listen to music
How long have you had it!
You can absolutely still use the XR as your daily driver. I had one until a month ago at 90 percent battery health. Wound up getting the iPhone 13 in the same white color as the XR and I honestly couldn’t tell a huge difference between the two. Performance worked well on the XR and battery life was still really decent getting over 5 hours of screen on time at 90 percent battery health on iOS 17. Not sure if the XR will get iOS 18, but even if not, you could get this a budget iPhone and still be able to use it another 2 years at least if not 3. I used it as my daily driver and never had the kind of screen issues and the battery life was pretty good for a 5 year old iPhone.
It's crazy how they can hold up and 90% battery heath for 5 year old phone is even more crazy
@@1PaulJ Yeah it is crazy how well they hold up after over 5 years. Not sure if the one I had may have had the battery replaced, but it got me through a day unless I used it as a hotspot and even then I still managed to mostly get through a day.
I currently own a iPhone 7 and thinking about getting either a iPhone XR, or the iPhone se 2022.
Which one would you chose out of the two? I’m having a hard time trying to decide
I’d look towards an iPhone 11 or 12 on apple refurbished store
YES !
I still have a iPhone XR but I’m thinking about upgrading to the 15’s. I’ve had my phone for 3-4 years, it needs to be charged 3-4 times which is annoying. The 15 has caught my eye and I wanted to update for a while.
I think when you have to charge as much as you are it’s time for a new phone. That would drive me mad
@@1PaulJI’m thinking of getting the 15 since it’s a pretty big upgrade from my phone, and other people who have upgraded to the 15 from the XR say it’s a big upgrade
Wouldn’t a battery change help the situation?
Nice video brother
I love this phone ... I will keep replacing the battery instead of buying a new iPhone
I’d highly recommend upgrading to the regular iPhone 13, the price dropped to $600 which is amazing for what you’re getting.
@@Adil-sv2xi$600 is good for a damn phone?you ppl just be playing with money i swear
@@Likerios22244 $600 for an iPhone 13 is a good deal which will last you years, rather than buying a $200 cheap phone that’ll die on you after 2 years.
What colour XR?
Tbf might as well stick with the XR
Does ios animations lag on the Xr ? Like those app opening closing ,app switching animations
Occasionally it does
Should i upgrade my android (running super slowly and just outdated) to the iPhone XR? Thabks!
I wouldn't upgrade to an XR now if you can help it
I’ve been using XR for 5 years with a 10 hours average screen time and it work completely fine. Not going to upgrade as long I can still use Apps.
Battery life is a issue when I’m playing games
What ios on your ip?
@@Peter1997 17.1
Mine. Has black spots on one of them and the other has the left 1/2” deadzone on touch and I have to use voice control to get out of apps and I have a Xs that I loved but the screen has lines running through it.. I have one with cell service but the others are just for WiFi and beta
What would be the best screen to upgrade them and best battery? Does anyone know
Just upgraded mine earlier today
The only issue I’m having is my battery
It decreases even when not in use
It’s really annoying
Kinda feel like I shouldn’t have updated if I knew or they should’ve warned it would affect the battery life
Other features of the iPhone is still great tho
broo you can still downgrade back to iOS 16.6.1 it's still signed for now
Yeah I’m having the same problem with my battery. I plan on upgrading next year anyway but it is annoying..
iOS 17.1 fixed this issue with the 11 and XR
Exactly 3 years of owning it, just dropped to 79 percent health. Still getting 4.5 hours sot, getting a new 14 and confused if i should get a 12 pro used for cheaper
Go for 13pro instead,it would give u a more better experience
My Xr is lagging very hard now a days and all things started after updating ios 16 any suggestions? It is lagging harder then old samsung android 🤖 phones, WhatsApp is taking 6 seconds to load
Update to iOS 16.7.2 there’s no more lag on that version
64giga?
@@darbybluish yeah
Still using mine from 2019. I have to use it in low power mode most of the time though.
Like people have been saying maybe changing the battery will help
Should i upgrade my iPhone SE 2020 64GB to a iPhone XR 128GB or should i stay with my iPhone SE?
I’d stay with it for a bigger upgrade if it’s still good!
Im on Android user deciding on grabbing a brand new xr. Any opinions?
I wouldn't pick it up to use it daily in all honesty
My xr bought at 2020 and its still 81% battery life
Not bad for 3 years, how is the phone?
I’m getting the 15 base model in green but I absolutely love my coral color XR some people look at my phone and question if it’s a iPhone because the color is so flashy haha I love it!
But it’s so slow now on iOS 17. And I’d love a new camera and faster speeds
Time comes for everyone but a coral coloured skin 👀
Gotta be that guy. Any upgrade should be pro. The 13 pro vs 15 base model and +. The 13 pro has 120 hz display vs 60hz on 15 base & +. 3 lenses so you look more Boujee on 13 pro and base model is peasant look. 13 pro in 2023 can be bought new for $700-850 vs $900-1100
120hz is a real game changer that will “feel” like a real upgrade
I love my iPhone XR red soo nice
White ftw
Have my iPhone XR for 4 years, I think it might be time to upgrade because the battery dies quickly, runs slow on certain apps and camera quality isn’t the best no more, just updated to iOS so now the battery is gonna be horrible 😭
Slow apps opening can be a bit of a killer
iPhone XR is a badass iPhone. Some people just pretend theirs don’t stink
Battery health is 87 with aftermarket screen and it dies at 21%
I’m on XR SINCE 2021 BUDDY I WANNA KNOW IF I SHOULD UPGRADE TO IPHONE 12 PRO MAX
Yes ofc
I sold my iphone 14 pro max and started using my XR iOS 17 with a brand new battery. It is the best experience ever, everything is perfect except the cameras, they are just OK.
I bought this XR with a new battery for $120.
That price is pretty decent BUT it can't be better than a 14pm haha
@@1PaulJ
Both the XR and the 14 pro max has the battery capacity that gets you through the day without having to worry, since I work in a rough environment I sealed the lightning port on the pro max and I have only used a magsafe charger, it is so powerful that I have recorded in dolby vision with highest settings, edited and voiceover on the 1 hour video with iMovie, rendered it to video and uploaded it to youtube and I still had like 50% battery.
i want to buy iphone xr second hand. battery under 85-90%. should i buy ?
I wouldn’t if it’s close to 80 unless you’re replacing the battery
@1PaulJ To be fair, i found some at 170$ CAD
Dude, the Note 9 works just as well lol. It has better battery life too
I still using mines
What colour?
Black
@@williesanders2344black 2 I’ve had it since 2021 I wanna upgrade but there no rush this phone calm
multitask on my xr not good. been refreshing almost all time
Refreshing what?
@@1PaulJ the last app open
Still a beast for playing PUBG mobile 🔥
I'm not good enough to know 😭
Will it be worth buying in 2024?
As a backup maybe but if rather an 11
or 2024
How much its price
I’ve had it since February 17th 2021 2024 iPhone 12 Pro Max I think will be solid
Bro please tell how many dollars the brand new iPhone xr in USA now
Been using it for 4 plus years. It has been reliable without a doubt but lately its been heating up and freezing more than usual. Battery life currently at 81 percent and requires 2 times charge daily on moderate use. I think its pretty decent for 2023 but as a daily driver, probably not atm
Yeah it's sadly time to leave the XR
@@1PaulJwhat iPhone would you recomend? I got big hands so like a big phone is preferable but I don’t know which one
@@moncho2x53 if android go for a34 or a54 both are pretty good
@@moncho2x53pro max versions will work for you
It’s still the model of phone I have, and I can’t wait to switch as soon as I have the money to buy a Z Fold 5 ❤️
There’s nothing horribly wrong with it, it gets the job done, and it’s just a little rough around the edges. But, well, I’ve had this thing for five years and other phones offer a lot of features I’ve found myself wishing I had.
Yeah I agree like I said in the video it still hold up really well for a 2018 phone
I use my xr for about 5years
How is it?
@@1PaulJ very good……
@@1PaulJ The longest used iphone
Mine overheats really easily and has touch responsive issues after 3 years of use
That's shame, mine seems to be pretty perfect
@@1PaulJ it’s alright cause it gives me an excuse to upgrade now 😊
yea bro i would just replace the battery. the camera and build quality are great and it still supported by most case manufacturers and can even fit in a regular X case and a 11 or 12 case i believe.
My iPhone XR is really bad my battery keep drain so fast in iOS 17. My battery Heath is 78% I want to upgrade to iPhone 15 pro max but I can’t afford I had my iPhone XR from 2018 too now it. Been 5 years
I always forget about the battery change
But the phone still works so well
Design still looks pretty good ? Bruh how much did apple pay you to say this
I WISH
@@1PaulJ it's not as bad from the back because of the single lens but the second I see that front ugly display and notch, i feel like throwing up
*Can It Be Your Daily Driver?* Yes.
It can but it shouldn't
@@1PaulJ I’ve had it since February 17th 2021 2024 iPhone 12 Pro Max I think will be solid
Sure that XR last uptade is IOS 17? I think XR will die with iPhone 11 like every iPhone (S) model
I think this is the end of its life
Who tf still uses a 720p LCD 60hz display in 2023 ? Dont even mention the bezels and the single bad camera with no optical zoom which even budget phones these days have better capabilities
And the slow charging speed lmao apple really charged 750$ to this crap for their iSheep back in the day
People bought it when it came out and loads of people still use it in 2023
