about the photos the XS takes it does look objectively better to me that it doesnt look like an oil painting due to the over-sharpening with the recent iPhones do due to Deep Fusion.

If you’re still under warranty apple will send you a 14 Plus 500GB because they no longer have parts or device replacements for it. That’s what they’re doing for me right now because I’ve had since launch and my phone gets so hot doing basic stuff and battery dies in under an hour. I’m using my mom’s XS Max which got replaced a few years ago and the difference is night and day with performance and battery life because her battery health was at 97% compared to my 77%. Im using her’s until mine replacement comes in the mail since I bought hers along with mine but she upgraded to the 15 pro max last year.

In Brazil a lot of older iPhone's are still used much. From the 8 to the newer ones. My grandma still uses a iPhone 6s, and still works perfectly. I use an iPhone 11, and the only thing that bothers me is the screen, that's an LCD. But as long as a device can run WhatsApp, brazillians can use it.

The only issue with using older phones is the battery because they deteriorate after a while. But if you get a battery replacement, you can easily get a few mores years out of the phone.

My first iPhone was an iPhone 8 and it was so good, even though the battery was straight 💩 it was my go to to plug in and play Minecraft for like 3 hours straight, then I had the iPhone 10 R, amazing display back then, did the same, then the iPhone 16, and bro. The only difference from an 8 and 16, 8 years later, is everything is better by 20x and the overall gaming performance is TOP TIER like ZERO LAG, all people care about and test are triple A games but when u play smth like Roblox and Minecraft online, its smooth as hell and nobody brings that up

some things i noticed, probably just over the internet, are that a lot of people will make u feel like sh*t and make u feel like ur missing out if u have an older iphone. But the reality is, iphones are usually still usable and functional after 5+ years. A lot of the tedious and minuscule upgrades like camera whatver or the 6969 megabit processor or something that the older iphones lack aren't even noticeable especially if u only use ur phone for minor things.

I do need to upgrade but not because of this xs getting slower or anything, its just to experience the ai thing going on... trust me this iphone will be with me for a while!

He’ll, I’ve used the iPhone 8 for 2 years, a year ago, & the only main drawbacks were battery life & internet speed, other than those 2 points, it feels smooth, stable, & modern! A few more points; the cameras are still surprisingly usable & videography beat my Pixel 4 XL. The iOS software, I found, is much better than Android. Fingerprint scanner blew stones but I have sweaty fingers so maybe that’s why, I loved the face unlock from the 4 XL. It is still fast in 2024 for light to medium gaming!

I recently upgraded from the iPhone 11 to the iPhone 15 Pro. I'm not going to lie; I regret the upgrade. It's definitely quicker. I enjoy the 120Hz screen, stand-by mode, the always-on screen, and the upgrade to 5G. It makes very little difference in my day-to-day, and I would have rather saved the $900 and kept my 11. Plus it was red; I miss my red phone.

Not saying there is no value in your point about benchmarks (comparison to the newer Pixel 9) but, as someone who has used a Pixel 5 for years (and continues to), sometimes you don't need vast amounts of power to achieve a consistently solid/smooth experience. For example, my Pixel 5 would get tragic benchmark scores, but the battery life is still incredible after 3-4 years of use (weak, but efficient) and I barely experience a hitch/slowdown in my own general use, even when editing videos/photos for example. Got a 90hz display too so, it's helped by that. I do get what you're saying about Google's devices lagging behind though, just thought it's important to say, even their weakest devices still hold up now, 4 years on. Also, just me but I think Apple makes great, consistently solid devices, but they also limit them a little more than they could, like a weak Pixel can split screen apps, but your latest iPhone can't. Or like having one of the most powerful phones on the market in the iPhone 16, but not at least giving a 90hz display to fully appreciate that in the day to day use. Interesting video nonetheless! Definitely shows off how iOS is so consistent in user experience, even in iPhones way back, and that's one of its biggest strengths. I had an iPhone 5 for many years and I felt the same back then.

i’m daily driving an iphone 8 plus i recently bought in perfect condition. never repaired, 98% max. capacity. it’s the best phone i’ve used in years, last iphone i’ve had was a 15 pro max… it’s absolutely possible and even preferable because you’re reusing older devices plus some people might like the fact that the camera doesn’t over process pics etc.

I’ve been using this silver phone since it launched in 2018. Battery solid in 85% health from new!Never replaced! The stainless steel pretty good with regularly polished it like new again. What I love about this phone is pretty sleek at the back and the camera is so good and natural compared with current iphones. Hopefully Apple still support this phone until next year lol.😊

I'm not even an iphone guy tbh, but your interaction with this is so good. I know a lot of people who still use the X/Xs/Xsmax. And the things you complained about are all the same, but they still love the camera tho. If I'd ever get an iphone in the next year or 2 then I'd definitely be getting an older iPhone maybe the iphone 12/13. And yeah the face imitation from your daughter there at the end is so true haha.

And the new battery worked well for an year. Now, for some reason, it is worse than the degraded original battery. Other than battery, the phone is good. Daytime photos have really good colours. I want to upgrade. My heart wants to upgrade now but my brain wants to wait for the 17 pro series.

Battery is a pretty big one though, cuz I only have 75% max capacity, so I have to charge it like 2 times a day at least. Am planning to get a s24 this christmas though:)

apple did really good when it comes to making the iPhone XS and the iphone Xr. I use a 14 pro but i like the Xr more. I don't know why. even though it has much bigger bezzels and stuff, it feels really solid. And yeah speaking of the Xs i think it's the best looking iphone yet with it's gold colour being the best gold colour apple ever produced in their phones.

Is there any benefit to going as far back as the XS vs. something like the 13 Mini?

It’s genuinely a good phone,I bought one in 2022 second hand as it was my first iPhone and didn’t wanna spend too much just incase I want to go back to android (iPhone XS 256gb 76% battery health) I had to replace it earlier this year because I cracked the screen and an original screen replacement from Apple was the same price as what I payed for it two years ago. Apple in my country doesn’t do in store repairs so it has to get shipped out and you pay extra for that as well (process is two weeks) If I didn’t crack the screen and had a better battery I would honestly have not upgraded till the phone stopped performing Tbh from the xs to the 13 there ain’t much difference,the videos are better sure but you mainly notice performance difference in gaming but I didn’t even game on my phone

I’m still using my iPhone XS Max, 6 years later and I’m battery health is at 77% percent. I went to apple for battery exchange because I’ve still been paying for warranty for it every month for the past 6 years and never used it that they just ordered me 14 Plus 500GB because they no longer have parts or device replacements cause it’s so old.

The Xs does have 20W PD fast charging, so make sure your charging cube and your charging cable supports the PD fast charging function as well. 15 minutes for 5% is unheard of for me, 15 minutes should get you around 30% of charge or more depending on the battery level off the phone.

Most mid range smartphones in 2024 are still behind in performance compared to Flagships from 5 or 6 years ago. That's why they still hold up reasonably well - the most noticeable improvements since then has been energy efficiency and camera's which is the only thing holding back older flagships (software updates notwithstanding). I'm not an apple user but I have to give props for Apple supporting there phones for this long.

I’ve had a XS Max since 2020 after looking at a 12 Pro Max. I found, at the time, that I could get one with a lot of storage for about half the price of the 12 Pro Max. The cameras haven’t kept up and the battery was never great, but it does what ai need it to do and my wife takes the photos with her 13 Pro Max. She also starts to panic when her battery gets below 50% when it could last another day and has even unplugged my phone to charge hers unnecessarily. Mine really needed to be charged. I have been thinking about upgrading since iOS18 seems to be stressing it a bit more than iOS17. I upgraded accidentally when ai thought ai was getting another version on iOS17. It still works though.

XS 256GB here, Replaced the battery 2 times now. Still works fine and I really like everything about it. Photos are natural and 2x zoom is useful. Perfect human design, peak of iPhone. Battery is nothing great, always have to charge when can, but that's fine to me. You'll find that the SE2016 is the same story, just everything is a bit worse and old iOS will limit you.

ive had my iPhone Xs Max 512GB since 2018 and im actually getting the new 16 Pro Max after this long. I did also have the X in 2017 but upgraded the next year for the Xs Max for the bigger screen. Tbh, having them both with me, they still work good, just had to replace the battery to ensure longevity. But its been a good 6-7 years with the phone.
