I’m daily driving an iPhone SE 1st gen and it actually holds up still very well considering it’s age I am getting an iPhone XS tomorrow and probably gonna upgrade to at least an iPhone 14 pro in 1-2 years
would you recommend I buy a iPhone XS brand new for $230? Because I’ve never had an iPhone and my budget is $270 so it will be enough for the phone + all accessories, I will probably use this phone for about 2 years (till end of iOS 18 when it stops getting updates) so do you think it’s worth it
@@Techsumerit’s almost 100% (sorry i dont know the exact number) my country sells iPhone for really expensive so it’s nice to find something like this, I could get a 11 for about an extra $100, but with the oled display and the premium feel on the xs, i feel its not worth the extra money
I the jump from the iPhone 7/7 Plus and even 8/8plus to the iPhone X was so big, that apple may never make a phone with a similar or bigger jump again and never mind the iPhone XS, even the iPhone X is worth buying. Especially if you keep it at whatever ios it's at and don't bother updating it. It'll last you a good few years. Good gift for a parent or an aunt or uncle that isn't good with technology either. They'll have a good phone that's also an affordable phone. I can probably pick up a brand new sealed iPhone X 256gb for under £150
i got one exactly at that price. The phone rocks then after that I then sold it for 150 again and added 10 more usd to upgrade to the iPhone Xs. The chance was a steal tbh.
I think the iPhone X is really lacking. The same chipset as the iPhone 8 is very lagging behind. The iPhone xr and xs are good choices, especially the iPhone XS
Excelent review! I've just bought an iphone XS for 190 dollars because i needed a smartphone as fast as possible and it was the cheaper iphone that i found, but i'm pretending to switch it for another iphone in 2025, so the XS would be a temporary phone for 2024. Do you think it was a good choice when looking by my perspective? Thanks you a lot!
For that price, it’s hard to find anything better than the XS. It still supports iOS 17 and runs it pretty well. If the battery health is good I say you got a good deal. Thank you for watching!
I think from 2017 and backwards they start to get pretty difficult to daily drive. You can do it, but the experience won’t be the best! Thank you for watching!
i wouldn’t say it’s worth it, because it’s not going to get updates! but if you’re a collector that collects apple products, then i would say go for it! but still, i would not recommend it to anyone!
It may get 1 or 2 more updates and if not you’re still getting years of security updates and it makes sense for a great 2nd phone but the 12 is the best choice for budget premium phones at this price point still plenty of updates and a newer design.
The thumbnail looks great! The iPhone X design is iconic and that Gold color on the XS was 🔥
It still looks amazing!
I had an iPhone X and to me it was the best iPhone ever made hands down

Enjoy your new iPhone XS! As for the iPhone SE, it’s a very compact phone with a classical design! Love it!

How’s the battery health ?

I wouldn’t buy it, but I would still be happy to use it 👍

Agreed👌 The question is, will it get iOS 18?
no it wont, maybe iOS 17 is the last one the xs and xs max will get
a friend of mine with a xs max is on iOS 16

@@Techsumer thank you very much! I've subscribed your channel
Still, a great iPhone i think. For the price. I am getting one.
Get the gold model! It’s so beautiful 👌
The iPhone X design is my favorite!
👌🔥
Keep going
Thanks!
The iPhone XR was the best seller that year I think, great value proposition!
💪😎
im feeling tired just by listening to bro explaination😂
Always listen to CZcams sped up at 1.5x. 😂
how old would be too old? a iPhone from 14 years back?
I think from 2017 and backwards they start to get pretty difficult to daily drive. You can do it, but the experience won’t be the best!

Giveaway 😢
The XS size was perfect in size. Everything after that is way too big in size
👀👀👆
Great review as always! I don’t think people should buy the iPhone XS in 2024 because it won’t be supported in iOS 18!
it says all phones supported ios17 will get ios18 no?
Incorrect
Should i buy xs max in 2024?
Depends on the price! How much are they charging? Thanks for watching!
@@Techsumer i also waiting for your review on xs max in 2024
i wouldn’t say it’s worth it, because it’s not going to get updates! but if you’re a collector that collects apple products, then i would say go for it! but still, i would not recommend it to anyone!
It’s a quick fix phone, it’s a good temporary solution. Thank you for watching!
