How much am I missing by still using XR? It’s been paid off for a couple years and unlocked with AT&T now, but starting to have issues where apps/sites load slower and outright freeze sometimes. I don’t really want to have another monthly installment, but don’t want to shell out $1000 up front either. Is there much change jumping to the 14 or 15, or should I hang on until this XR completely dies another 2+ years maybe? Also worth noting the trade value has gone lower and lower every year, and another 2 years I probably won’t get anything for the XR.
Mine freezes as well or lags, ever since I got it I wanted to use it until the end of its update cycle, so next year I’ll be getting the next iPhone
Do you also have problems with battery draining while idle? I don’t even use mine at all during some days and when I go grab it it’s dead
Xr ? Bruv im on 6s+
Respect 😂
Most apps have been updated to not work on the 6+ so idk if I believe that tbh
So tell me which one does not work, i have messenger, steam, discord, ebay, ali, amazon, twitter and some more and everything works
Can you even install newer apps?
Yes. For now…
That’s a great phone compare to my stack of 5s
6
You guys are going to be blown away when you upgrade. 😂
Yep upgraded from an iPhone SE 1st Gen! To a 13 pro last week and I am loving it
Was blown away when I upgraded for 5s to Xs The Face ID was just magic plus huge oled screen
This was me last Christmas. Upgraded from a 6s to XR and wowee was it somethin else
Way way way better camera. Way way way better screen. Way way way better battery life. Other than basically everything that makes a phone great, you’re not missing out.
The only things we’re truly missing are 5G and an ultra-wide camera, neither of which are urgent, or even that important, needs for me.
Nothing, the iPhone XR does the same thing as the iPhone 14. ✨
Still using an XS here
Totally fine. All you need is a new battery every 2-3 years…
Fellow XR phone user here. 🫡
Went from XR to 14PM and honestly didn’t notice a huge difference. Dynamic island thing, screen, variable refresh rate, and anything else that initially sold me on this phone became irrelevant after first two weeks. I use my phone 5-7 hours a day.
Camera is much better though.
Just get a new battery if you have sudden freezes. My 7Plus was like new after a new battery (first lasted 5 years).
I just upgraded to a 15 Pro from an X. It is quite an upgrade. Holy Moly it’s so much faster.
Replace your Battery, you will feel it like a new phone. Yeah the difference is enormous it affects a lot the speed even the behavior of the RAM. With 80 sometimes even 85 or lower battery health the phone feels slow , always harm or hot, a lot of refreshing when jumping between apps. After battery replacement the phone feels fast , no heat or less and the refreshing is less frequent
Don’t get any of the 15s. Go 14 series
OP and all other X iPhone users…
You’re gonna miss 3D Touch.
battery health? battery deterioration could impact performance quite a bit. a battery change is pretty inexpensive compared to a new phone.
