Just realized im running ios 16.1.2, battery life hasnt been great for last couple of months but im getting a battery replacement. You guys recommend installing ios 18 ?

Trying to update to 17.7.1 but keep getting the error message ‘insufficient space to download update.’ What can I do to free up space so I can download it? Looking at my phone’s storage, I’m thinking I have plenty of space for it, but obviously what do I know, eh?

Might sound weird but I always have my screen at this specific app page before I turn off my phone, especially before I sleep (dont ask why)

anyways that doesn't really matter

but when I woke up it was on like the first page/the home(?) page (which is the one that it always sets to after updates, and the app library thing was scrolled all the way up, which I always have down for ease of access).

did someone use it while i slept (i live with people who know my password) or am i just being paranoid

Thanks!

I'm thinking about getting a new phone, just because the battery on this one is starting to die pretty quick. We've been seeing an unprecedented amount of Northern Lights for my area of the world lately, and I hate that I can't see them on my own phone because I don't have night mode!

I'm doing my own research, but, as always, I seek advice from the good people of Reddit.

would anyone be able to assist me in unlocking this iphone xr i have? pm if possible

Ive switched from my iPhone XR to a Galaxy A52s because I updated my iPhone to iOS 18, and it was good for a few months until a few weeks ago. It started getting slow, the keyboard was SUPER laggy and the battery wasn't lasting as long as I was expecting. I tried and succeeded in downgrading to iOS 17, but I couldn't use my apple watch due to watchOS 11 being incompatible with iOS 17. So I was stuck on 18.

I've been wanting to try an android for a while because of sideloading and more freedom with what I can do on the software, and I'm glad I switched to my current android phone. One reason I didn't really want to switch was because I really do not like Samsung software, so I just installed Google Pixel Experience, it's way better.

I'm not saying android is better than iPhone, both are great and have their own pros and cons, I just prefer my android simply because it's faster than my XR. (Also the OLED 120hz screen is nice).

It's been a good few years with my XR, sad to have to leave it 🫡.

Hi guys, I’m currently using my iPhone XR and haven’t updated for a while and still runs on IOS 16.6 as it still runs perfectly and didn’t want to do anything to mess it up, however with iOS 18 now out I would love some of the features, should I update my XR and if I did would it create a risk of it getting slower? if I stay with 16.6 will it increase my phone’s longevity? Thanks! 😁

Hi all,

I have a work provided iPhone XR, it was new in 2019 battery health was about 82%. It asked me if I wanted to do the 18.1 update today so I started it, phone was plugged in on 100% battery.

Come back to it about 50 minutes later, black screen, wont charge, wont turn on.

pressing vol up, vol down, long press side button does nothing, any ideas?

device performance is fine doesn’t face any bugs but i don’t like ios18..photo app totally sucks..still possible to downgrade or not?

I'm on iPhone XR, battery health is 82%, currently on iOS 17.7.1. I was looking at all the new features and upgrades on iOS 18 and I've been thinking lately, should I update to ios 18? Upgrading all the way to iOS 17.7.1 and never experienced severe lag. I don't know what it's gonna be like on iOS 18. Any guides on should I update?

What would be a good device to upgrade my dad to this holiday season? He works in construction related operations so his current phone (iPhone XR) is beat up pretty badly. I don’t want to go out and spend $1300 on a new 16 pro max though I feel like that’s what he deserves he could break it by accident and I don’t really have that kind of money to toy around with. What would you guys consider as a solid midranger option? Or something up to $900 can be new or used. Thank you.

Hi all,

Im still using my XR 64GB. Its perfect. But, need a backup phone because i am doing some trading. Money is not necessary an issue, but its always nice to save some. What is more, i dont want to unnecessarily boast around with the newest and expensivest iphone. Should i go with 13 or 15? 15 is 220€ more. (580 vs 800)

I’ve turned off raise to wake but I can’t find anything else, how can I make my iPhone screen not turn on when I unintentionally touch it? Ive never posted on Reddit but I keep having this issue where I’ll turn my phone off and put it under my thigh or in my pocket or I’ll just be holding it in my hand with my fingers slightly touching how they would when I grip it, and the screen will turn on and a bunch of random password attempts are put in from one finger accidentally staying on a number and it just repeatedly typing that number in as a password combination and it will tell me my iPhone is unavailable for 1 minute which is unbelievably annoying or it’ll search up things from the keyboard being touched when it swipes to the lock screen search bar or it’ll click on a notification and I move my phone past my face and it gets my face id somehow and will open messages and other things. I don’t understand what to do. It’s going to make me lose my mind

I recently updated to ios 18 and the phone has become really slow, so i want to revert to previous versions preferably ios 16, if i can't then ios 17 is okay. How do i do that?

Honestly I'm considering switching to a Pixel or something when my XR dies just because of how much I dislike the square edges on all of the new iPhones.

I wish the SE4 would come out with rounded edges to retain one model with the design. I understand how subjective it is, but when I hold the XR vs any of the 12 and onwards models it just feels so crappy. I'm surprised at myself for placing so much value on a non-functional aspect of the phone but the rounded edges on my XR make the phone feel sleek and premium vs a big flat brick with aggressive edges.

I think I found it okay on the older models because they were smaller and had less weight and mass all round to compensate. I just put a new battery and screen on my XR and hope it lasts a decent while longer.

Have been using XR since the last 4 years now, updated to iOS 18 because I was forced to by my employer because otherwise I can't access teams (another shitty app), and now the phone just sucks and is as slow as an old android.

My XR (which I've used pretty heavily for about 5 years now) has now reached 74% battery health and I still get 3-4 hours battery life on high brifgtness. That's impressive...

Who thinks iOS 19 will be available for the XR and if no why?

I've been using Iphone XR (Product Red) since 2019 pretty great use. Battery health is on 79% which i'm considering to replace it for a few years. And my question here is that what phone would be a great option to use in the years of 2025-2026. I'm not really into 16 series and the leaks of upcoming 17 series right now.

OK, so I have an iPhone XR 64 GB model, it's a blue one. The battery health is at 82%. It's loaded with a lot of applications and other user data and has about 30 GB of space free. I have the iOS 18.1 RC on it. I think that it is responding as well as it has ever responded since iOS 17. If your phone has a good battery, I would recommend updating. Now if the battery in your phone isn't that great, then staying on a lower version of iOS is better. I will have to assess what the battery life is like on this phone with this software and will come back to this post and edit it once I get a sense of how long it lasts. I picked the phone up to use it about 15 minutes ago and was playing around in the Settings app, then jumped over here and began writing this post. The phone started at I think 67% and it's now at 62%.

Hi,does anyone face call failed problems in XR after upgrading to ios 18,if so please let me know how to fix it( If any).

Firstly I absolutely love my XR, I’m really not excited to upgrade. I feel at this point I have too. My phone just glitches, lags constantly. I have done everything suggested except the battery replacement. My battery health is at 85% I know they are saying get it replaced at that mark. Yes, unfortunately I did update to iOS 18 thinking it would help because it was lagging as bad on 17. I have been patient with the lag for months and now I’m over it. I’m a photographer, online seller and influencer so I really need my phone up to speed. I’d really love to wait for the new SE but that’s still estimated 6 months out. My husband said just get the new one instead of buying a battery and waiting for the SE.

Any suggestions? Buy a new battery from Apple and wait? Just buy the 16 now?

Also I’m so sad they no longer make the phones in red :( I love my red phone. If I got the new 16 I definitely will be using it till it poops just like this. I had this phone 6 years

Well as the title said, my screen turned yellow in the upper right corner and at the bottom after batter replacement, I’m going back there Monday, what to expect, what kind of damage is this ?
