Upgrade from XR? Day to day differences from modern phones?

I’ve had an XR for 5 years now and it’s been laggy here and there lately. The 16 Pro seems like a good upgrade but will it be worth waiting for 17 Pro/ Slim since it’s rumoured to have a smaller notch, 12GB RAM and AI preloaded? (Don’t mind replacing the battery)

What are some major day to day differences between using the XR and a modern iPhone (iPhone 14,15)?

iPhone XR Upgrade

So,I have an iPhone XR 64GB,iPhone 11 Pro Max 64 GB and an Android(Xiaomi 11T Pro),so I would like to ask if I should upgrade my XR to the 16 and if it will be a logical decision,or if it's a better idea to wait for the 17 I don't want to go for the Pro models due to their price being high(especially in my country). So,what's the best decision for me?

Questions and thoughts about my iPhone Xr

First of all, my question is this:If anyone is using the iOS 18 RC version, how are the temperatures and battery life?

And the problems I'm having:

In the past, there was no problem while playing Pubg with my friends, but after the iOS 17.4-5-6 versions, it started to get really hot. I open Pubg, after 5 minutes it becomes impossible to touch by hand, but this is not the only problem, my in-game FPS actually drops a lot and does not remain constant. Although it should be 60 fps, it drops even lower and My battery drains faster than old versions.

IPhone XS, SE or 11?

I'm currently using 7plus I know it's too outdated but works for me nicely but now the home button haptic is not working also too lagy so I wanna upgrade to XS, SE or 11 very hardly, on a tight budget that's why can't think of any other

please suggest which one is good I need for daily usage like social media and a slightly better camera that's it.

Which upgrade should I go for?

Hi all. I’m thinking on upgrading my iPhone XR to either iPhone 13 or IPhone 14 Pro. Please help me decide which would be a great long term option.

I bought my iPhone XR 128gb back in 2019. So far it’s been doing fine, just some lags/glitches. I feel like an upgrade is necessary for me. I would go for iPhone 15 but my budget is for these two models as of now.

Read many reviews on how draining iPhone 14 Pro battery could be compared to the 13. So now I’m contemplating. (Help)

Thanks!

Am I dumb for thinking about upgrading to an iPhone 14 Pro?

Not super impressed with the iPhone 16 / 16 pro models, and the 14 Pro is being sold in the Apple Certified Refurbished store. I want to save some money and don't need the latest and greatest.

Besides Apple Intelligence, is there anything I'm missing about upgrading to a certified iPhone 14 Pro?

Thanks.

I’m upgrading to the 16

Coming from an XR, it’ll be a huge upgrade.

I’m starting to have problems with my phone, it’s slow and laggy. I’ll always love it as my first iPhone, but it’s time for something new :)

Apple Watch not connecting to IPhone XR

My viewfinder barely ever works and when it does my screen just goes black. For manual it doesn't give me a six digit code to put in.

Calls sounds distant and muffled, but sounds clear sometimes when using WhatsApp, Telegram, etc for voice calls

I'm experiencing an issue with my iPhone XR after a recent update to iOS 16 or 17, though I'm not exactly sure which. During regular calls on my iPhone XR, my voice sounds muffled and distant to the other person, making it difficult for calls since they can’t hear me clearly, but weirdly it sounds fine and clear sometimes when using messaging apps like WhatsApp, Telegram, Discord and more. I'm unsure if this is due to a malfunctioning microphone on my iPhone, especially since it works well with non-native call apps.

But could it be related to the network? In Malaysia, since we've moved towards 5G and eliminated 3G signals completely, my phone relies solely on the 4G network as it doesn't support 5G. I’ve tried adjusting settings in the Accessibility section to fix this, but nothing has worked. Is anyone else experiencing this issue? If so, have you found a solution?

A lot of people seems to be having this kind of issue on Apple Support forum, yet most of them left unanswered.

Iphone XR acts weird

Hi,

I’ve had this for a little over a year and whenever I scroll on instagram the videos are sometimes delayed and laggy for some reason. My phone also gets hot, but not to the point of overheating.

My iphone screen also seems very sensitive and reacts to a slight touch of my palm.

My battery condition is 81% and running OS 16.4.1

what to upgrade to?

I've had my XR since October 2019, approaching the 5 year mark with this phone and it's gotten so hot as of late, freezes with certain apps to the point they're unusable, and the battery is at 76% capacity. I don't need all the newest technology or fancy camera things but I do watch youtube and play games like Pokemon GO a lot, so is the 15, 14, or even 13 worth it? I'll wait till the 16 drops especially in case special offers or prices go down for others, but I'd love opinions on what to get with good battery life and overall the most value! Edit: parents are advising me to see if I can get another year out of it if I just get the battery changed, but is the freezing attributed to the battery or the phone itself?

edit: thanks so much for everyone’s input, y’all are so nice 😭 got my 13 pro refurbished from Verizon on the way and I’m excited!!

Should I upgrade to the 16?

My XR is at 82% battery health but it's started acting weird. Sometimes apps take several seconds to load, sometimes it randomly freezes up, it gets kinda hot, and if I have more than 1-2 apps open simultaneously it starts freezing and apps crash.

I was gifted $1100 from a relative so I kinda want to upgrade to the 16 but I'm thinking maybe I can live with it and wait another year.

What do you think?
