Using the iPhone XR in 2024! - A Real Day in Life
Ғылым және технология
The iPhone XR was a big change in the iPhone lineup back in 2018, but now in 2024, I wanted to find out if it still stands its own. In this Day in the Life as a university student, I test out the performance, display, cameras and battery life to see if the XR is a viable option.

iphone xr user here, i can confirm that the battery even if changed and not having the percentage of the health, drops a lot and faster while using it on instagram and it overheats a lot using instagram i think its the devs problem, but overall if you really need to have an iphone like switching from android like i did you can find it second hand for cheap, iOS is very smooth like he did my phone doesn't crash apps like he mentioned maybe his problem, short story for me it is still a good phone even if you play like i do and can handle codm even on high graphics keeping good framerate but it overheats a lot so i recommend playing at north pole or using a fan to keep it cool and one thing i've noticed is if you use it the battery drops faster but if you let it standby it can keep the % same as before even for hours

yeah, i never saw any app crash unless network wifi issue. also being a cybersec engineer, ppl can bombard ur iphone or ipad's specific icloud-sync port (apple use for ecosystem shit)..that might cause the entire phone to crash. I often crash my friend's phone and tablet it gets stuck on and sometimes even needs to be restarted. only when on same wifi network

yooo i was waiting for this lmao, i bought mine five months ago and replaced the battery the battery life sure isn’t the greatest but if you use low power mode all day long and don’t mind apps taking a few seconds to load it lasts a whole work day(10 hours) for me including a bit of gaming during my break. more or less 9 hours of SOT

@@Upwards._ it does indeed; low power mode mostly if not all the time would use efficiency cores, that said i had an iphone 8 beforehand not too long ago so the performance gains are still pretty solid to me. idunno, nowadays i don’t pay too much attention to my phone model nor the specs as the xr seems to suit my needs even as a heavy ish user, almost 11 and a half hours SOT in the last ten days. my one and only complaint right now is the storage, 64gb is still enough for me but the way ios17 manages app cache/data is horrible lmao, i have to reinstall social media once a month usually to free up some space

Please I recently got a used 13PM. The phone is mint and does everything I want but the battery health is bad. I wanted to ask if on them newer iPhones (X and above) changing the battery really has any downside if doke right and has the BMS stuff done to retain the battery into. Are there any downsides or does the phone present any issues after getting it done ?

Changed my XR one week ago. Bought it in march 2019, it served well all those years. The battery was the original one, with 1800+ charge cycles. It lasted a decent amount of time for its wear! The phone itself worked well, it was overheating when using it for medium periods of time, sometimes it had some lags. But overall I wouldn’t have changed it if I didn’t find the 15 pro new at 400€ of discount. It was too good for not upgrade.

Amazing video again. Although this seems like a great phone apart from the battery, the performance still seems okay if you limit your usgae and only use it for specific things. I'd say get the 12 instead, it seems like a better phone
The xr is legendary what a incredible run to my knowledge it’s still decent
Using xr for 4 years now runs pretty good
One of my favorite iPhones ever. Had mine from 2018-2022 when I upgraded to a 13 just because the battery had severely degraded, one of the best iPhone cameras to me. Honestly would trade my 15 in and get a se 4 if it had this design. I never kept a iPhone as long as I had the XR.
That was a great phone for sure. Mine was in red 64GB

Nice Video! It’s amazing to see that the XR is still supported and that it works so good(for that age) But as you said, it shouldn’t be bought anymore. When looking for a good used iPhone I would suggest a 11 or 12(12 has oled display, better cameras, fast chip)

Iphone xr user since it released,even today it's pretty good,pretty bad battery even if i changed it tbh but i'm gonna wait for the 16 lineup in september and see if the 16 pro is worth it
I think Instagram in general takes more battery compared to other apps. I am using iPhone 14 and I can also see that the batter drains faster while using Instagram.
Watching this on my iphone 11 pro. I dont think i need the latest iphone. The 13 pro is prolly already good.
incredible editing, and only 5.8k ? something is wrong
im an iPhone XR user. I changed an original battery this new year eve. I can say that this phone is suitable for non heavy users even changing a new battery. Definitely the phone heats up while recording video and lags after some time of video recording. Same goes to gaming. But otherwise it's still a usable phone in 2024. If you want a better experience with this phone, a battery replacement is recommended, especially replacing it with an original battery from Apple.
im an iphone xr user, i really like this phone but the battery is not good especially if you're a gamer (like me), the phone heats up a lot when i play games witch causes it to drain the battery very quickly, not even mentioning that i cant play some games for more than 10/20 minutes that it crashes. im considering upgrading to an iphone 13 but im not sure yet.
I think it’s good enough if you don’t do too much on your phone, but if you usually do more than 2 hours of SOT then you probably need a better one like at least the 12. I would’ve said the 11 but at this point it’s barely newer than the XR anyway
Just watch your video bro new subscriber added keep it up

Looks like the world is full of spoilt young kids who are only interested in the latest gimmicks their elders give them as freebies! I have 2 of these (256 GB), an iPhone XS (512 GB), an iPhone SE SE 2020 (128 GB), even iPhone 6s, iPhone 5s and every single one was bought cheap used but in near mint condition ...Same goes for my Samsung Galaxy S and A series smartphones .... They all run perfectly, when the battery ages, just have a new one fitted and you're good to go again! No loss of performance, no crashing apps. Just because the industry tells you to buy the latest and even more expensive gimmicks every year doesn't mean you have to follow suit .... Ridiculous!
