I am a proud owner of an iPhone Xr from March 2019! It is my first iPhone and I have no complaints about it whatsoever! It's impressive how after nearly 4 years has the latest OS updates, it's really fast and its camera is solid. I 've put a screen protector and a back case from day 1 so it's in pristine condition. The only downside is its battery which at the moment sits at 89% battery health. With a bit of usage management it still gets me through the day though! Also I think that its back is one of the cleanest designs in iPhones. The 6.1 inches screen is a bit bigger than I would have wanted but you get used to it. As for the screen quality itself (which was the main criticism back then) if you don't compare it side by side with an oled screen iPhone it's very nice. In a very bright day, under direct sunlight, having sunglasses on, you may find it difficult seeing clearly at it but that's an extreme scenario. While I don't have any issues with it and it still is plenty fast for my needs I will upgrade to iPhone 15 next year. P.S. Love your new hair colour! Cheers from Athens, Greece!
I’m using this phone since it’s released (2018), currently my battery health is on 83%. And I’m considering replacing the battery when it drops below 80%. Performace and camera, is still decent. Very smooth considering this is a 4 year old phone!
Still got mine from release. I have a 13 pro max now but I honestly think the XR was one of the best iPhones ever made. Very minimalistic and to the point design. I got the 128gb and absolutely loved it. Battery is still at 92%. It’s in my top 3 iPhones. Iphone 4, iPhone 5s, iPhone XR.
@@CarolinaPride95 I used it solid for the first 18 months till I got the 11 pro max. I use a phone moderately. I charge to only 80% when it gets to 20%. The benefits of OCD lol. But that’s probably why I’ve managed to achieve it still being 92%. I did the same with my 11 pro max but that went down to 87% with the exact same usage and routine for charging. Make of that what you will.
@@CarolinaPride95 I use it quite a few hours a day after 4 years, I take a lot of pictures, mine is on 90%. Runs still as fast as the first day, never had a problem. It's an amazing product.
The XR was such a great phone. I had one in the Blue, and I miss it like crazy. It was also (and currently still is) the only iPhone with software-based Portrait Mode.
I was an Android user until 2018 - 2019. Then I bought VERY old iPhone 6s from my flat mate for around 75 pounds. It had a cracked screen and the battery usually didn't last any longer than half a day when I was barely using the phone. But hey, I just bought it to give Apple a shot. Even though it had a lot of issues (the battery was the main one) I still really liked the iOS. So I decided I'll buy myself a better iPhone (this was after maybe 3 months of using the old 6s). I bought refurbished iPhone XR and I'm still using it today. It's seriously the best phone I've had so far. The battery lasts long (it used to last 2-3 days on single charge when I got it, these days lasts the whole day without any bigger issues), the FaceID works like a charm, the phone is not stuttering and the camera works amazing too (considering you're not a professional photographer). I can still recommend this phone to this day if you're looking to get a cheap iPhone. To be fair - I didn't use any other iPhones or Android phones so can't judge how's the market today.
For the price, you can get an iPhone 11, a year newer, faster, dual camera's and will be supported for longer. I skipped the XR, and got an 11, happy I did. Not that the XR is bad, but the 11 will be around longer than the XR will be.
Yeah but the 11 is usually 100$ more, to me the xr makes for the best iphone under 300$ but if you want to spend a little more then the 11 is the way to go
Just bought yet another for an older client last week. These are still lovely phones that would serve most people quite well. Edit: just bought ANOTHER another. People love these. Because they’re great.
I chose this bc of its price and many people preferred this over the new ones, I got my pic taken from my friend’s 13 mini and i looked really bad on the pic. the processor may be old but this phone is good enough to keep for some time before upgrading.
I still use my XR and I had it when it first came out and my battery is at 95% I have the 13 pro max as well but know lie I still use my XR I’m using it watching this video and like I said I still love the XR.
Your hair is dopee :D Thanks as always for the fantastic videos! Thanks to you, like many others, I‘ve recently switched to an iPhone Mini as my first iPhone and am loving it :) All the best!
I'm a new fan of you and planning to switch from Android to iOS ever since I've watch your videos. Been literally thinking and buy this phone or the iPhone X ( your favorite ) for the last few weeks. Now I'm considered even this device is 4 years old not much more think about the display and I love bigger screen. Having a new device and latest doesn't care at all as long as the phone is still doing it's job as a daily driver. Love to hear your thoughts about this and was waiting for this review a few days ago. Big thanks from a fan from Philippines 👍
I switched from my galaxy s6 which was a hand me down to the iPhone XR 3 years ago second hand, and I absolutely love it and it gets the job done and I can’t say anything bad about it so I recommend it
For the price (in the US, at least), it’s an extraordinary value iPhone. I source used ones for many of my clients. I could get along with one as my daily phone without issue, even though I don’t.
i love my XR , you would not think it was a budget iphone . great photos . wicked battery , nice screen , good size . i bought the 13 mini its great but no better than the XR bar the screen image Quality and smaller form , which i like also .IMHO
@@newearth9027 amazing aye . Mine actually does 6.5hours and it’s 3 years old . My 13 mini does 7hours it’s 5months old . I came from a 4s which done only 1.5 hours . So as far as I’m concerned for its age it has a wicked battery
I always enjoy your videos. Thank you for reviewing phones that i can actually afford. Not subscribing to your channel is actually a sin haha. I agree Xr definitely is worth it. Got mine used for months now and still in 100% batt health, awesome deal. Still in ios 15.5 tho. Do you recommend updating to ios 16 or should i stay on ios 15.5? Thank you! 🥰
If you have budget for a brand new se 2022, just buy iphone 11 since it has the same price. It has better camera than XR and SE 2022. SE 2022 has the fastest processor but you have to deal with small screen foe your purpose. Camera for both XR and SE 3 are almost identical with SE having better post processing power. BTW I am an SE 3rd gen user.
Either get a 2020 onwards Samsung or iPhones. Samsungs have 5 years of updates. Thats pretty long too. I am a Samsung fan because I think Samsung has the most complete and best experience out there, but as my secondary phone, the XR has been nice.
I have the 10 max it’s a big phone kind of heavy move around my pocket alot video and camera is amazing but if you got issues with your face like Acne blackhead oil skin acne scar this list goes on these phone gonna expose all that plus 256gb and up is better
The only reason would be that it displaced the iPhone 8 as the cheapest option for a decent iOS experience thanks to the crummy SE 2022 version. Imo, it's better than the XR in some ways because it's newer and smaller but fails miserably in other ways.
xr got famous cuz of massiv advertising but its a bad phone tbh, not worth in 2022, sure its a good phone but id rather prefer getting a 2ndhand or refurbished iphone 11 pro/max
Help! I got a iPhone XR gift from my mother because she’s upgrading to iPhone 13. My XR is somewhat 2-3 years old. The problem I’m facing is the brightness dimmed by itself. This thing bothered me when I’m playing video games. I’ve watched dozens of youtube tutorial and it’s still doesn’t work. How do I fix it?
@@TakeCareOfYourself7 your iphone is officially broken.. going with budget iphone is a bad idea. trust me. i've been using xr, se 2020 and xs. even xs had issue.
iPhone XR very slow after update to iOS 15, let alone iOS 16. It’s supper laggy and buggy. Sometimes gestures take longer to register, apps longer to load, and overall it’s just really sluggish. Unless you have real day-to-day data to backup your belief, my recommendation is don't make misleading video.
ios 16 is currently still on the beta version. even the latest iphone will be buggy and animation might be laggy. that is why apple warns to not update any beta software on your devices.
any leap that big is always gonna win in battery percentage; just make sure you know what that percentage is when you buy it off the used market bc it isn’t always up to par
@@tyshownramire considering the cost it would be to replace the now ageing battery and the phone itself depending on storage the iPhone 11 seems the better option just saying
Have you ever had an iPhone XR?
I’m currently using one right now
