I currently have a Samsung a42, it's about 3 to 4 years old. Is the iPhone Xs worth changing the batteries and be used? This is my first ever iPhone all my other phones are Androids, the only Apple product I actively use is my Mac. I know nothing about iPhones. Thanks for the help

I’m considering replacing my iPhone battery and wanted to know if anyone here has done it. After replacing the battery, did you notice a significant improvement in battery life? Also, did you face any issues like overheating, performance drops, or calibration problems after the replacement?

Would love to hear your experiences. Thanks!

I was just wondering where the cheapest place to get my screen replaced is. I dropped it because I was carrying it with no case while at a party. Might be willing to do it myself. Just not sure how much I want to spend since the phone is so old. It's not my main phone and the crack isn't that bad.

before updating to 18.3 my face id said there was some issues and needed to be fixed so I updated it.but after the update it stopped working.what should I do am I cooked 😵

Hi need help about my XS. I used it while raining (not so heavy pouring) on my motorcycle . Now the screen becomes weird and untouchable. Sometimes it responds but I think it touches different area rather than the one I touched. Anyone know how to fix this? Thank you in advance

Edit: I got a hydro gel screen protector, thinking of removing it now.

Rumored to be small like the XS. Kind of dogshit that upgrading after SIX YEARS loses my dual cameras (SE is gonna be single camera) but oh well.

Looks like Im not the only one!! Here’s the link

64GB and it says the battery is significantly degraded at 75%. Other than that, good condition.

I might get one for free as a hand me down. Is the phone still usable?

Hi, is there anyone who actually fixed this issue or goes to apple store to resolved it? I have iphone xs max 75% batt and when im charging my phone once its locked it automatically shut down, im seeing there is some post here with the same issue but i cannot see any resolved case is this battery issue? do i need to replace it? alread reset setting, forced restart the phone and just playin music while charging. Thankyou in advance

After being hesitant for months following online feedback concerning the ios 18 update on older Iphones I Finally decided to upgrade my XS, it’s been three days and everything runs smooth, the battery life is surprisingly better and the heating up has significantly reduced,what’s your experience with the new update?

This might seem odd but I know the newer models all have magnets in the phone for wireless charging (MagSafe). But does this phone have any magnets in it? I know it doesn’t have wireless charging but for health reasons, I’m curious if the newer phones with their magnets would be the same as this phone.

I have the XS and it’s in great condition, however the battery needs replacing. I have replaced it once already. But I am wondering if I should just upgrade.

Budget isn’t a huge concern, but I don’t want to get a new battery and then replace the phone soon after.

Is it best to upgrade to 16/16pro?

My friend has a 13 or 14 and the touch screen on hers is awful, like you have to hit it multiple times.

I love my XS but just don’t know what to do.

I got an oppo a77s rn , saw a Good deal on a refurbished iphone xs 64 gb, 4 gb ram with a 90% battery the price is catchy. I never tried an iphone but im curious also would it be able to survive at least 3 more years with basic use (chatting, videos, cam).

Hello everyone! just want to know your thoughts regarding this. I currently use an Iphone XS and I was given an Iphone 12 Pro Max. Been thinking if it’s worth to switch to the newer model. Note that I’ll be selling the other phone that will no longer be used.

1. Storage - XS has 64GB while 12 pro max has 256GB. I don’t have an issue with storage in general since I often organize and transfer files to my laptop.

2. Size - 12 pro max is slightly bigger than XS. difference is not really that noticeable.

3. Camera - 12 pro max has a warmer tone than XS. As someone who likes to take photos (not professionally, only for instagram), which model do you think is better?

4. Battery - my XS is below 80%, which can be easily resolved by a battery replacement.

TIA!

Hello everyone! Question for y'all, I love my XS Max a lot ever since I got it back in 2018, but the size of this thing is starting to hurt my hands and is frankly too big. I was thinking about either trading it in for a XS regular (because I just like the look of it), go for a 13 mini (I like the size), or get the new 16 (not mini, but the camera button is nice because I do a lot of work where I need a camera fast). I'm kind of weird with aesthetics and not a huge fan of Apple's newer phones, but at least the 16 has the vertical camera that I like lol. Would you guys just go for the newest phone? I keep jumping around and would like some outside opinions. Thanks for all who read!

Is there a way to stop iOS from showing the Swipe up to open message every time the Lock Screen lights up?

i getting an xs soon,coming from the samsung a14 4g varient, i just want to know if anyone here plays dragon ball legends can tell me the performance of it or if they can take a bit of their time,test it out for me,that would be greatly appreciated and thank you

I got a battery replacament for mine some weeks ago, but I will not have another battery replacement for this phone. I think I'll hold onto it until it works no more.

Right now it's working just fine. Some lag in some situations but nothing too bad. Are you planning on switching for a new model? Will you stick with your XS for some more months?

I can’t find a way to download iOS 17. It only shows the option to download iOS 18

Did anyone notice these icons won’t follow the rest of the icons after the 18.2.1 update? Any tips on how to fix it?

I'm an Android user i had Pixel and i loved it, but i droped it and the screen is dead. I bought a new one but its gonna take four months to get to my country (Venezuela) i have the opportunity to buy an iPhone, i want to know which is best the XR, XS, do you recomend you update to IOS 18? As a secondary phone once the pixel gets here btw. The phone i'm currently using sucks....
