Last one I could get was 16.7.2 and been stuck there ever since.

Also how do I know if I have an original apple battery or an aftermarket unit

I’m planning to buy it refurbished

Any suggestions will be helpful

Should I upgrade or replace battery it’s at 79%

I found an iPhone XR for 145 dollars refurbished, and i wonder if it's an good idea to buy? A ton of reliable websites reported the XR and XS will support iOS 18, even if the XR doesn't support iOS 18 apps will still work on it for 2 more years.

So, is it an good idea to buy?

Hey! I recently switched from android and bought the SE 2020. I love this phone. It’s small (coming from 6,4” android) and smoother than my old phone. Overall just better. Except the battery. I’m pretty heavy user and I hate charging it three times a day. I am thinking about buying the XR. It’s 6,1 inch display and has BIG battery. But it’s 6 years old. I don’t want to spend big money on just phone and I don’t need 3 cameras or PRO features. Is the iPhone XR still worth it in 2024?

Edit: Or should I just buy large battery pack and wait for the SE 4 to drop price after like 2 years?

Anyone ever faced a problem where,

When plugged in for charging the percentage indicator does not rise or fall for a long time until you either plug out and plug in the device again or do a forced restart and the percentage rises all of a sudden by a lot?

Today while charging my device was stuck at 94 for nearly 20 minutes, plugging it out and plugging it in brought it up to 98 and a forced restart right after brought it up to 100

2 more subsequent forced restarts had no change to the percentage anymore

If anyone has ever faced this issue could you please tell me if this is a device specific problem where the battery is faulty or a software issue

My device: iPhone XR 3/128 - iOS: 17.4.1 - Using original apple cable and adapter - Optimised battery charging off

Has anyone ever faced the fact that after a full charge, the battery stays at 100% for a long time and then once it falls to 99% it starts to drain much quicker?

I bought a refurbished iPhone XR and

the design capacity showed as 3148mah

whereas the current capacity showed as 3218mah 4 days ago

Now after a total of 6 charge cycles my current capacity has dropped to 3178mah

Im using the shortcut: https://www.icloud.com/shortcuts/c3f664d31670494db000b65ba8739b45 to check the above details

Is this much of a drop normal??, note that the ambient temperature where i live is almost 42 degree centigrade

I live in Kolkata, India and temperature here at 17:00 is 40C

Today while charging my phone up from 48% in the morning I noticed that it had stopped charging at 80% and a notification reading “Device will resume charging when temperature falls” was showing for the past 8 mins

The body temperature however felt completely normal

I disconnected and reconnected the device after 5 minutes to let the phone cool down if at all however even after 30 minutes the phone hadnt charged

I restarted the device while plugged in and left if for another 15 mins and noticed that it had charged up to 86% however when I checked again after 15 mins the same happened, the device wasnt charging and was still at 86%

No high temperature notification was displayed either

I restarted again thinking it was an iOS 17.4.1 bug but after restarting the batter went up to 91% and another subsequent recharge brought it down to 86%

It hasnt charged since then even though I plugged it in for another 15 minutes

Note: I wasnt using the device while charging

Note: I have optimised battery charging, location, bluetooth, internet and background app refresh turned off

Note: I had a recent battery replacement, original unit from Apple and it is at 100% battery health

Any help or suggestion in the matter would be great! Thank you.

this phone is so jank lol i can’t wait to upgrade soon. what’s the point of offering the option if it’s not really compatible? I can’t even connect to a mac!! someone please tell me i’m just dumb and it’s just me

Has anyone used bestbuy to replace your battery? How much and did they do a decent job?

The iPhone XR I’m using is from 2018, we bought it probably a month or so after launch.

Anyway, recently I’ve noticed that the Bluetooth is having trouble reconnecting to some devices I frequently use: namely a fitness watch, some cheap headphones I use while running, and then my car.

Although the phone thinks the Bluetooth is on, the other devices don’t recognize it. If I restart the phone, then all is well for a couple of days.

Anyone else experienced this? Think it’s a bug or perhaps some component starting to act up after 6.5 years of service? Any good ways to check?

Has anyone experience some strange random screenshot while using your phone?

I do have a couple and kinda recurring random screenshot where I didn’t even use the shortcuts or tap to screenshot. Is this some sort of bug?

Phone has slowed down and lags much more

Will this improve over time or is there something i can do to speed i back up again

Don't know why i updated it, i decided not too but for some reaosn i always find myself updating!

I was overseas and on Wifi for about 4 months. Right when I came back my phone internet is running slow. Anything that has to do with internet is slow; apps are slow to load, youtube is slow, browser searches are slow, can’t update ios because that’s slow as molasses.

I’m running IOS 15, im using 50GB of 128GB. I’ve restarted about 5 times.

What can i do besides switch to android or pull my eyes out?

Hi, currently I own an iPhone 7 and I have considered upgrading to a new iPhone for sometime but I did not give it much thought until a friend of mine offered to sell me his iPhone XR (Very good condition) 256 GB 81% BH for 200$, other resellers are selling the same model for 275$.

Initially I was tempted to buy it and use it for a year or 2 and then later upgrade to an iPhone 16/17 or 18 on a discount. However since the iPhone XR is almost 6 years old, I considered the thought of just buying a newer model (either the 13 or 14) and use it for 4 or 5 years before upgrading to a newer model. So right now Im considering between the iPhone XR 200$, 13 700$ and the 14 750$. Unfortunately the 13 pro is not sold in my area so I’m only considering the base models as the current available pro models are over my budget.

Long story short should I buy the XR and wait for future base iPhone models that could be worth getting or do I buy the 13/14 and upgrade to a newer model after 4-5 years?

It’s also worth noting that I just use my phone for basic needs like browsing, texting, social media etc. So I don’t use my phone for intensive tasks such as playing video games, watching or taking videos etc.

Will be grateful for anyone helping me decide thanks

I have replaced my screen via third party. Now if i go to the official service centre, Will they be providing battery replacement knowing my phone is touched by someone unofficial?

I’m not sure if this was posted already or not but, I joined not too long ago and was reading about some of your guys phones. Since the 17 iOS update, my phone has been crashing, not turning on, running slow, or shutting off. My Siri no longer answers me or has trouble loading answers. I’ve had this phone for 5 years and it’s never had an issue. Its battery life is 87% and still holds its charge good. It’s gotten to the point where I can’t be on my phone for more than 10 minutes without it freezing up. Is it just time to upgrade? As much as I don’t want to.

iPhone XR, XS duo and SE2 should be getting iOS 18. The thing is, should we upgrade to it? I'm on iOS 17.1, I assume. I don't have my phone at the moment. Battery health is 90%, still runs as fine as a Toyota lmao. Can play Genshin and Minecraft.

have an XR. Got water damaged 2 weeks ago. Had a blue tint the same day. Then went away. Yesterday it came back.I guess since it’s been humid here. The screen works just fine. Just a light blue haze. Like how the Night Shift is but just blue.

I want a 14. Should have traded this phone in sooner. It was in mint condition.

How much does it cost to fix blue tint screen ? Or no point in repairing ? Apple says it gives me 140 if no damage

My partner’s phone makes a lot of echoing feedback on phone calls, whether it’s in a case or not. He took it to an Apple Store and they tested it and said there aren’t any hardware faults. Thinking of trying a full restore . Anybody else experienced this or have any other suggestions ?

So I have an XR, I’ve been using this for only a month. Before updating to ios 17.4.1, my phone can last up to 8 hours and the battery health was 100%. After updating last April 10, battery went from 100% to 88% between April 10 to today April 17 😭

I experienced after the ios 17.4.1 update:

• phone last only 4-5 hours
• missing or delayed notifications
• slow data connection
• glitchy touch or hard to touch when I am on 30%

My location and background sharing is always turned OFF. Phone is on silent, I only use social media apps such as Facebook, Reddit, Whatsapp, Telegram, Google and only stream on Apple Music. I don’t have any heavy games installed. I am on cellular data ever since. Could it be a problem with my charger? Or any advice what else I can change in the settings to improve my phone? How do I calibrate the battery? And should I reset all settings or do a full reset

Advice would be appreciated.

I love it

Battery degraded significantly. Can i get third party battery replacement because the official cost is too much. Pls drop your views?
