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?
hello friends, my phones looping apple logo when I turn on.
I belevie in a maybe hardware problem, but I already att and restore in itunes, and nothing...
someboy with the same problem? thx for some helping.
Should I upgrade my XR to IOS 18? Or stay with 17? Thoughts? Experiences? Discuss!
Hey! I'm looking to upgrade my Xr for <350€. I'm currently hesitating between the 11 Pro Max and the 12. Is the generation gap (11->12) worth more than the Pro Max aspect? I'm mostly looking for a phone with a good battery AND that doesn't lag. ATM, my Xr is veeeery slow and struggles to survive >3 hours of usage. I'm also worried the 11 Pro Max won't be able to last me 3 years, since it's getting quite old too, and is barely 1 generation newer than the Xr.
Soo like I got the vertical lines on the screen ever since I woke up, I used my phone before sleeping and it was fine then I put it for an update on a game and went to sleep, then I wake up to these lines on my screen going vertically and the bottom of the screen getting all glitchy idk why it happened
P.S: also the screen on the left side has started to come off and when I press on it, it feels puffy. So yeah I think it could be the battery pressing against the screen but idr think it would be like this
I brought my XR back in August 2022 from a seller and I feel like my XR is now showing its age. It sometimes lags & freezes.
I changed the battery about 6-7 months ago at the Apple Store and the capacity is at 91% now, basically I need to charge my phone quite more frequently.
I’m on the latest IOS 18.1.1.
I’ve been eyeing on the 16 Pro Max, what do you think? Should I wait till the XR doesn’t get anymore updates or wait till my battery capacity reaches 80%?
Thank you.
Hey guys! I think my iPhone XR that i’ve had since 2019 has taken its last breath and it’s probably time for a new phone.
Since my XR lasted for quite a while I want to get a new one that will last for years aswell. I have a budget of around 900 dollars, and it needs to have at least 128gb since I’ve realised that 64 gb is not enough for me… What do you guys recommend? (: I thought that since it’s Black Friday I might aswell buy a new one.
Edit: Realised I need to save some money… So iPhone 13 being around 600 dollars it is.
There had never been any crucial app which would had prompted me to update iOS version, now it’s settled
My brother has an iPhone XR, which he loves. However, he’s having trouble getting the NFC functionality to work, which he needs to load funds onto his metro card. I’ve checked the settings and ensured the app permissions are correct, but it seems I can’t directly adjust the NFC settings. Has anyone else experienced this issue? I’m wondering if there’s another setting, perhaps under Accessibility, that could help. Neither Google nor ChatGPT have provided any solutions beyond resetting the phone. It’s frustrating, as it should just work. Confused.
As the title says I just got the message to update but really know and don’t wanna update to IOS 18 but I also am wondering if I should update to the 17.7.2 update from 17.6.1
Anyone have experience with this to help me decide? Thanks
Hello, I am waiting to buy an iPhone XR on iOS 12.x, as long as it’s iOS 12. I been looking all over and cannot find anywhere to buy the phone.
Hey all, new member of the sub here and was hoping to crowd source some suggestions for an upgrade. I’ve been the owner of a red iPhone XR 256GB since it first released and while I’ve loved this phone (I even got my mom the same model but in blue a few years ago) it’s about time for an upgrade. Right now I’m torn between trading in my phone towards a refurbished Pro Max 15 from Amazon, or trading in with Apple and getting either a 15 Plus or a base 16. I use my phone for work, so my main priority is battery life. I’m not fussy about capacity, I pay $2 a month for additional iCloud storage from Apple. Any direction you guys can point me in would be graciously appreciated
To those who upgraded from the XR to another iPhone, what phone did you pick? I’m thinking of upgrading my phone but I’m unsure what to upgrade it too. My battery capacity is 79% and happy with my phone. I have only one problem, sometimes I open an app and the app doesn’t load and it closes. It takes me back to my home screen which can be annoying. I would like a phone that is nicer looking and a bit of jump from the XR like you can see there is a difference without breaking the bank?
So I’ve had my XR for about 3 or so years now, and I bought it refurbished. I have no idea if this plays any role in these issues (I’m not really that knowledgeable about phones to be honest just basic stuff) but I dropped the phone about 2 years into having it and I got a screen replacement, worked fine after that but the Face ID was never the same after which is to be expected? I think idk. Anyways, about a week ago I noticed a lot of lag issues and it doesn’t charge properly. I will plug it in and it shows the charging symbol then it disappears right after. It works a bit better when I use my portable charger? I’ve replaced the cable and cleaned the port. Is it just related to age or other factors?
I have been thinking since my xr has been running strong for 7 years and i’m debating whether or not I should wait another year or upgrade now. What should i do?
Here’s my opinion on the switch, if you were thinking about upgrading.
Everyone says apple releases the same phone every year and yes, they’re correct. But yeah if your phone is really like dying. (Apple has completely outdated your phone, having consistent software/ios/app issues, super low battery capacity. ) Then i’d say it’s worth it. My XR was like malfunctioning constantly and did its job still until the very end after 5 years. The 8 gigs of ram does make a huge difference in performance.
However if you’ve recently gotten an XR or still have solid performance on your XR cause you’ve taken care of it well enough than I mean I’d say you aren’t missing out on much. The XR is one of apple’s best models before everything started becoming more saturated and just the same.
does anybody here knows why iphone xr still did not get the meta ai on whatsapp? also anybody else facing any bugs in whatsapp on iphone xr?
Hello, i haven't updated for now and wanted to ask some questions. Does your battery get warm and became empty faster ? Do you feel the os is laggy and have less performance ? What is your geekbench score ? Do you think that 79% of battery integrity is enough? And most important question : is it worth it ?
I updated to 17.7.2 this morning and I’m loving it. Anyone tried the new 18.1.1?
I’m upgrading tomorrow to the pro max and just want to know if anyone else is and what they are going to upgrade to? I’m obsessed with iPhones with knowing the next move!
Olá, tudo bem ? Meu tio tem um iphone xr, nos iamos vender para pagar algumas contas mas quando formatamos , ele iniciou falando que estava bloqueado pelo usuario, meu tio nao lembra da senhor por ser de idade já, alguem sabe um jeito que posso desbloquear ele?
Help me please, I have an iPhone xr with a new replacement battery but my charge slowly decreases even without using it. Is there a way to fix this? I have factory reset my iPhone atp. Thanks
Ever since I upgraded to iOS18 my phone is overheating anytime I do something CPU intensive. 78% battery health.
Slows down like trying to run Crysis on a Tostito.
Replace phone or replace battery? What do you guys think? Will a battery replacement speed up iOS18?
Is this common?
Did Tim Apple do this on purpose?
