    The iPhone XR might not be sold by Apple anymore but it's a good example of a phone that's still thriving on the used market- and it may just even be worth it for the right person in 2022.
    Anyone using the XR? How's it working for you?

      I bought my XR brand new from my carrier (Verizon) back in Jan 2021 (9 months before it was discontinued) and it honestly preforms about as well as a newer iPhone would. Games run fast, texting and calls are seamless, RUclips runs great and battery is awesome. As someone who is like “As long as it’s a phone that does everything without feeling as slow as a snail” I’m very happy and impressed by how good it holds up. Probably won’t be upgrading this untill either it breaks or apple stops supporting it with iOS whichever comes first

    The XR might become the great used iPhone option for 2022. It still has a decent model, camera that still holds up, decent performance with A12 chip and 3 GB of RAM, and it's pretty cheap since XR apparently is one of the most popular phone in the world. You can't go wrong with it, but if your budget allows it, the 11 will be a better purchase.

    I’ve had one for almost three years. It is still going strong. I’ve thought about upgrading, but I can’t really justify it when this thing does almost everything I want. Better cameras could be nice, gaming on the phone would be better on a nicer or bigger screen, but I’m not super serious about photography and only play games on when my switch has a dead battery. I will say I really like the boxy design of the iPhone 13 & 4/5 lines, so that has been really tempting to go back to

      @Neil different. While I like Android for flexibility and more functions like USB-OTG, using Bluetooth for audio and file transfers. Depending on what Android phone you have - can’t stand bloatware you cannot uninstall. For instance, why do I have Bixby when I use Google Assistant more?
      Apple, despite their limitations, make up for software upgrades that optimize their hardware to last longer. No bloatware either. Even though iOS has limitations compared to Android, there are work arounds

    Had the XR almost 3 years and it’s the best iPhone I’ve ever owned. It has started acting weird and glitching every once in a while and the camera gets very pixelated when you zoom in. And no night mode photos. If you don’t really care about the camera this is a great phone. Waiting it out to see what the new iPhone will look like, and maybe upgrading if it’s worth it.

    I have a XR I bought it early March of 2019, I have it nearly 3 years at this point and its battery health is at 93% running the latest iOS version. It's plenty fast, no dropped calls, it gets the job done. I have no complaints about the display nor the bezels personally because I don't compare it daily to the XS for example. I have dropped it a couple of times and it survived them like a champ, given that it has a case and a screen protector from day 1. I consider it a very value for money purchase and I intend to keep it until iPhone 15 launches. I think upgrading to a brand new iPhone every 5 years is the best way to go as it's both good for your wallet and for the environment! Cheers!

I found an XR used (almost brand new) with 97% battery health in red, 128gb or storage and 3gb of ram. Already has been updated to IOS 15 and all of that at fucking 300 dollars are you joking me.

  • @WesleyDechavez
    @WesleyDechavez 2 года назад +6

    My Xr 64GB Black experience
    Camera: solid, not as good as the latest iphones but if you know how to edit photos, then Xr is very enough.
    Battery: great! but not as great as it was in iOS 14, iOS 15 made the Xr's battery life slightly worse. still, with light to moderate use, you can end the day with 30% but you can kill this in a day with some intensive long gaming sessions.
    Performance: speaking of gaming, Xr is still very capable, Genshin Impact is smooth but it'll make the iphone warm but that's it. all games perform in 60fps (or atleast in my eyes because I can see no frame drops).
    iOS 15: little to no limitations, you can also scan texts here with your camera, widgets works fine, I don't feel left out.
    Overall experience: my dad's phone is the 12, I compare my iphone to him always and I really see no difference (yes there's the thicker bezels but that's it). the screen, guys, seriously, it's fine. i edit photos and create graphic designs in my church and I see no need for an OLED or a higher resolution display. yes, the black is not really black but I know how a black should look like in an LCD and Apple's retina displays are way better than any LCDs on a phone. plus, the Xr's display supports P3 wide color gamut which is very great for the price.
    Conclusion: iphone 11 is better if you're looking for a phone, but so is the 12, so is the 13. personally, I have the Xr now and I see no reason to upgrade. night photography? even the 12's night photos are not as good as its daylight photos so I don't shoot night photos. ultra wide camera? I use panorama for that but very rare. Xr's normal wide camera is wide enough for 99.9% of the time. telephoto camera? i take zoom photos but Xr's 2x digital zoom still looks good.
    i don't think i've mentioned everything but you can always ask me down below for more infos. overall, I love this phone. still fast, camera and battery are still great. i can consider this a 'great minimalist phone'. if you're a minimalist, you'll love this phone, you'll always appreciate its very powerful single camera and very minimal design.

    I’ve had my XR since February 2020 and compared to some of my friends phones (including my friend’s iPhone 12) the battery has actually held up very well. It lags from time to time (sometimes being really annoyingly bad) and occasionally the camera quality bothers me (and the lack of better zoom) but in usual day to day usage, I can almost always get a full day off the battery, do what I need and want to do with relative ease, and still have a relatively modern and good iPhone. If (or rather when) Apple releases an iPhone SE with no home button and a larger display more similar to the XR (which they are expected to do in 2023, but not confirmed) I may end up upgrading to that, but for the time being, the XR is great for me!

    I bought my XR almost 2 years ago, used and renewed by Amazon. The battery health was at 94% upon purchase and it is still at 94% to this day. I do not game or shoot video, so there is no heavy drain. I have watched many videos on "power drains" and have changed all my settings to stop the drains. I now can get 2 1/2 days on one charge, on a four year old iphone. Things would be different if I gamed or shot videos, but I don't. I have two custom built PC's for gaming and two pro DSLR's for videos. My wife has a iphone 13 and my battery out lasts her 13, due to her phone calls being very long.

    Watching this vid with my XR and it’s my first time using iPhone after years of using androids, i wanted to try something new by trying the iOS but I didn’t really know what to pick at that time and my friend suggested me that XR is a good device for a starter especially if you’re used with the long last battery life from androids. And i would say this phone is more than enough for me, i was surprised when I found out that this phone is 4 years old bcs nothing about this phone is too “old” for me considering how fast technology changes every year and yet XR isn’t really too far behind even with the newer phones. I have this phone for 6 months now and i will likely keep this until next year or probably the next following years too.

    I had the XR a few times and it's a great iPhone. I'm actually considering getting one as a backup for my pixel 6a. The main value in the XR in 2022 is you'll still get updates a few more years. Which is crazy when you consider some newer cheaper android phones will barely be supported 1 year. If you can get a good deal on a XR I'd say it's easily one of the best budget iPhones you could get.

    I got the XR at launch and loved it. The battery was absolute. It would last a double shift at work so from 1030pm to 1530 the next day. I would work 3rd and 1st and as long as I started my shift at 100% I would plug back in around 10%. And that was with heavy gaming and RUclips along with podcasts and music apps. I feel it lasted longer than my current iPhone 14 pro.

    iPhone XR user here. I bought it refurbished off Amazon a little more than one year ago, and I have to say that it’s the best phone I had so far, it beats even my previous Galaxy S8. Battery is not the greatest (91% capacity) but I have to say that other than that I had basically no issue, maybe except a couple bugs. I would definitely suggest it

  • @shabbat_king
    @shabbat_king 2 года назад +2

    I've been using it for three and a half years, and I must say that it's still more than just usable. Interface is maybe not as snappy on the latest iOS, as it was back in the days, but there are no lags neither. I replaced a battery last month, and it lives a lot longer now, but still not as long, as it was on the initial battery, which is obvious. Bezels were never a problem for me, and without having a better display nearby - Liquid Retina is sufficient.
    A few things I'm really lacking from the newer devices though are that 11 has Wi-Fi 6 support, Gigabit-class LTE, and 4 gigs of RAM, of course.

    I got my XR in September 2021.
    It’s been about 8 months already. Holy hell.
    I LOVE this phone, it’s so much smoother compared to my slow, water damaged 6s+.
    However, I have begun to notice some lag in this poor thing. Battery health is eh, but whatever.
    I plan to keep it for about 4 years, year 1 coming up soon. While it is a bit laggy, however, it’s still mostly fast, especially compared to an older phone. :)

    iPhone XR in 2021 was released a week before I was gifted my XR…still over a year later it’s pretty solid, although I want to upgrade but I like it still
    Also something about the 11, it’s a XR with a new chip an extra camera and a bigger battery. That’s it…so why is the most liked or best valued iPhone? It’s not really

      @@shaownsh7528 really depends on usage. Almost every day I can make it last, but I will typically end off at 10% or less. If I ever do need to recharge its gonna be in the night/late night. I have around 5 hours screen on time daily, with a variety of social media, youtube and internet browsing. Overall it was still significantly better than my iPhone 6S for sure, had to recharge in the afternoon to last the day.

    93% Battery health on my original power source. And yes, I don't give a ratatouille about the screen resolution it was so minimal to my eye the cost savings was worth it. The price differential with the same tech specs as the XS sans plus the higher res screen. The native editing app helps make my photos pop if the light was a bit low. Another budget version in about two years please Apple. I'll be ready for a change by then.

    I think the XR was a great phone. It had great battery life. A great screen for being LCD. And it pointed out how much phone nerds are in the minority as most people weren't concerned with having a "lower" resolution display. That can also be said for the 11. The bezels are only noticeable if you're a nerd and/or looking for something to complain about lol

    At $275 or less, ABSOLUTELY. Not if you can get the XS for an extra $15-$40 though, IMO the XS is a better size, a lot better blacks (although the XR is fine) and, IMO, the XS (especially in gold) is a lot sexier than the XR.

    I had got this phone for my mom and she loved it. The only problem we had with the iPhone XR is that the speaker became very muffled in a year. So I did a warranty claim on it.

    Went from a iPhone 12 Pro Max to a iPhone XR after cracking the screen on my pro max and finding out it was almost 700$ just to repair the front screen. I bought a refurbished iPhone XR for 389$ and invested the remaining 300$ I would’ve been out if I repaired the pro max into a investment that ended up quadrupling my return.

  • @uthmanbaksh3530

    I had an iPhone XR in 2019 only because my iPhone X broke. Still, I really loved my XR, even though I couldn't get it in RED, the blue I got though was gorgeous too! The camera was Just awesome! The only reason I upgraded from that to what I have now, the iPhone 12, is because I needed more storage on my phone for all those photos and videos as well as keeping a bunch of podcasts I will eventually listen to when I have regular commutes again.
    Still, if you gotta get a used/refurbished phone, definitely get the XR!

    When I went used iPhone shopping, the 11 pro was my initial purchase. I did have to sell it though, because the speakers sounded horrid. I ended up getting an 11 for €180 and holy cow! The screen is awesome! Sure, the bezels are a bit big and it’s an LCD but besides that, it’s genuinely amazing! The resolution doesn’t show at all (over 300ppi is barely visible, and only if you get like really really close to the screen). The color accuracy though!! Coming from a relatively pricy android, I was blown away! Looking at my home screen with the rainbow apple wallpaper in blue was wow!! This is a great screen if you forget the specs, if you thought the iPhone 8 screen was great, this is infinitely better.

    I have been using a XR since 2019. Although I’m not sure if I would recommend someone to buy it right now (you can probably get newer iPhones for similar prices), I see no reason to upgrade it. I have thought a lot about upgrading for the 13, but I just cant justify it. It performs all the tasks that I need without any struggle or slowing down. The main camera is good enough and though I would like a ultra wide camera, it’s not a necessity for me. My biggest problem is the battery life, which is significantly shorter. I often struggle to make it to the end of the day, but my battery life is already at 84%~ so i cant really complain about it

    Totally worth it! I used an iPhone 7 with iOS 14 until I bought this one, and even that was working fine, except for the battery, of course. The Camera was still great, the phone still worked smoothly. I bought the XR a couple months ago and it’s been working like magic. Love the upgraded camera and even as a used phone, the battery usually lasts all day for me. As for the display, I noticed a big difference from the 7. The pixel density is the same, but the colors are definitely more vibrant and the screen brighter. I couldn’t be more pleased that I didn’t have to get a flagship phone for a lot more money and still have the features I wanted, like portrait mode and a very decent low light experience with the camera. As for the rest, works just as smoothly as any other iPhone, new or old.
