iPhone XR and iOS 18.3 beta

I just instaling iOS 18.3 beta on my XR and hope that battery will be work fine.

I bought new lightning cable (Chinese, not original), and now charging the phone but the charging going pretty slow, is problem in battery or iOS I don't know?

For full charging I must turn off the phone and that take whole night on charger to battery be filled 100%

Does someone has similar isue? Does changing the battery can resolve the problem or only to buy new iPhone? And does iPhone 14, 15 and 16 comming with charger in original box?

iOS 17.0.3 upgrading to iOS 18.2 , downgraded workaround through SHSH ?

Is there anyone still using iOS 17.0.3 on iPhone XR?

My iPhone XR is still running iOS 17.0.3, 64GB, and my battery health was 88%.

I'm worried if the performance might be sluggish; the worst-case scenario is maybe I need to use Android temporarily since I like how good Apple software optimisation is compared to Android.

Is it possible to save SHSH blobs for iOS 17.03 right now, just in case I wanted to try iOS 18, and then I don't like it? It might be downgrading back to iOS 17.0.3.

18.2 reduced the horrible lag

Is it just me or did 18.2 make my phone MUCH smoother?!

Back on iPhone. And this time to stay definitively.

Got myself an iPhone 12.

Impressed by how much faster it feels compared to the XR.

Will now raise some money to trade this for a better newer iPhone next year.

But for now the 12 has everything a modern phone has: OLED screen, 5G connectivity, a powerful processor…

Very happy with it so far.

Also I love how it resembles the iPhone 4 and 5 :)

IOS 18.2 - iPhoneXR

First, this is my experience with the iOS 18 updates on my iPhone XR. Everyone’s experience is different based on the battery and usage amounts of their devices. I included a picture of my battery life, if you want to compare my device to yours.

If anyone else has updated to iOS 18.2, could you explain your experiences?

Thanks guys :) ———

When I updated to iOS 18 it was OK, kinda glitchy, and my phone was slow.

When I updated to iOS 18.1, it was less glitchy but my phone was slower.

I updated to iOS 18.2 the other day, and my phone seems to be working just as fast as it was on iOS 17.

/ READ PLEASE / My phone worked alright on iOS 17. iOS 18 was glitchy and affected battery life on most devices, but it flat out lagged on the XR. It’s wayyy less laggy now.

One of the lag bugs on iOS 18 was that whenever I turned on the screen, my music playback would pause for half a second. I haven’t experienced this after 18.2, but I could be mistaken.

No iOS 17 anymore

Anyone else noticed, with the new iOS 18 version getting pushed out (.2), they also removed the option to upgrade to iOS 17? I'm on iOS 16. still and had the option to choose between 17&18. I was about to update to 17 but since it's gone now I guess I'm staying on 16. till I buy a new iPhone in like 2 years.

Video quality availability

I’ve that compared to my mom’s iPhone 14 pro max, my iPhone XR can only have 360p on YouTube videos, could have sworn I had 720p lol, is this new? Note: it’s apparent on safari and Firefox.

LTE stopped working on iPhone XR

I just wanted to ask if anybody is having the same problem? I can’t seem to find anything about it on the internet. Basically, my LTE suddenly stopped working. I can still turn it on but it won’t function, stuff will keep loading on Reddit or completely just won’t show anything when this happens. It’s also near the time when I’d typically pay for my phone bill, this happened last month around the same time too. If anybody has anything they want to share, I’d be happy to hear it. Thanks

So I tried to update to iOS18

Had 14.8.1. Needed slack for work and whatsapp to be not available since May, I decided to update my phone. It showed error upon error and finally the error during restore via Itunes on windows, now it just looks like this, can’t even switch off. Good thing I manually copied all photos to iPad and I have 12mini as a spare phone, but it would be great to bring Xr back to live, I think it may last 2-3 more years easily.

If iOS 18.2 is available why does my iPhone 13 still say iOS 18.1.1 is up to date? Is iOS 18.2 out yet?

XR - Battery Replacement

Ive had my XR since Jan 2019 and whilst its performance seemed to be going down hill quick this whole year, refused to get a new phone (battery health 83%)

Couldn’t seem to find much confidence from comments regarding performance improvements from a battery replacement but took the plunge, and I write this today to confirm a fresh reset and a new battery (non-genuine) has turned this beast to almost brand new.

I was expecting a slight increase in performance but absolutely not to this level.

For anyone out there in the same position as me - a fresh reset and a new battery will do the trick.

I look forward to getting a few more years in the books.

Is the 2024 Motorola RAZR better than the iPhone XR? Would it be worth it to get a new one for 99$?

I'm fed up with low spec iPhones for high prices merely to stay in the ecosystem.

Buggy behaviour on iOS 18.1

Lately I noticed some apps aren't starting. Examples include Telegram and Ookla speedtest, among more. Also, I can't seem to download or update any apps as they're stuck on 'Waiting' and aren't downloading or installing. I can't even check for any iOS updates. I tried restarting, airplane mode, turning off and on cellular. What else can I do? Any suggestions besides factory resetting? I think of it as my last resort to fixing it.

What is more worth it?

I was planning on buying a 16 plus 128gb for 850$ (after trade-in) next year as a much needed upgrade to my IPhone XR, now I’m questioning myself because I’ve found a 14 Pro Max 256gb for 600$ (without trade-in) and can’t figure out what would be more worth it. What do you guys think?

Why is my home screen black now after the new update? It has been like this for over a week and I can’t change it back after trying to put a new Home Screen and switching from dark mode to light mode multiple times. Any ideas?
