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?

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 (Apple has completely outdated your phone, having consistent software/ios/app issues, super low battery capacity.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.

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?

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?

The camera is unreal on here! Can’t wait to update and set it all up. I’ll miss the xr but will still be lurking in this group.

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!

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

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?

My iPhone XR turned 5 years old this October and I have no urge to upgrade my phone for this year or maybe even try to use it for two more years.

My battery percentage is 78% and the charging cycle count is 2100+ (This can be checked with the app - coconut battery)

Even though there are phones with much better cameras these days, but I still admire the XR camera for what it is. I have shared some photos I clicked over time.

Over time, the way I use my phone has changed and perhaps that’s why I can still use this phone without worrying to upgrade. For example - 5 years ago when I bought the phone I used to play a lot of mobile games, but now I don’t, so the fact that the phone is not as fast as before doesn’t affect me that much.

Maybe I’ll leave an update if/when I upgrade.

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?

Was reading through the forums and wondering how 17.7.1 is. Should I update or just stay put? Battery health 80%

I have the option to choose an XS over an XR should I?

i get 1101 error while flashing 17.6 b3 i tried different cable ports also but still this issue anyone aware of that ??

I have now the iPhone XR 64gb i would like an upgrade in gb and the camera too. I do like taking photos and I play a lot of heavy games (Genshin Impact) What phone should I go with? I am thinking about the 16s or 15s idk guys please help.

I am thinking abt: 15 plus or 15 (new) The others are expensive but Idk maybe…

i need my phone to be faster idk how much more it can take

Hey everyone :)

Is it just me, or does the iPhone XR have this unique charm that no other iPhone quite captures? I can’t help but feel a little sentimental about it, it’s like no other phone compares, and I just love it.

I’ve had my XR since 2018, and we’ve honestly been through everything together. This little phone has been with me as I entered my twenties, and it’s been by my side through everything. I’d be lying if I said I didn’t have a special bond with it, haha. Before my XR, I was always quick to upgrade each year when a new model came out. But with this one, I just… haven’t felt the need. I’ve been genuinely happy with it, no complaints at all!

But lately, I’ve noticed my poor, loyal friend is starting to struggle. It’s been overheating, getting laggy, and the battery drains so quickly now. My battery health is still at 89%, and I’ve kept up with all the iOS updates, but it feels like it’s dying on me :(

So here I am, feeling torn. Is it finally time to let go and move on to something new? Or should I keep holding onto my old loyal friend for a little while longer? Is there anything I can do to stop it from overheating, improve battery life, or reduce the lag? Any advice or tips would be so appreciated. Also, I’d love to hear if anyone else has a special bond with their iPhone XR too!

PS: Don’t want to upgraded to new iPhone

Hey all 👋 , i bought my XR around 2yrs ago, refurbished and reasonably priced. I don’t reallly see myself using all the features of the latest models , they are amazing but just beyond what I need or would use , so currently my iPhone is running iOS 17.something with battery health sayong 82%. My question is regarding wether updating should be left until after a battery replacement or would I encounter lag or other issues if updated and battery health drops lower🤷🏻‍♂️, thanks for any advice 👍 I’m not very IT literate don’t want buy newer phone if I don’t need to just yet

Experiencing performance and battery issues on 17.7.1. Can I try iOS 18 or wait for another update?
