I’ve had my XS for about a year now, 90% battery life, and to be honest I don’t see any need to upgrade, yeah battery life isn’t the greatest, but works for me. It’s still a fast phone, will receive upgrades for a while, and camera is good enough for me since I don’t take many pictures. Also I love the design of it, I don’t care for the square camera bump, but my next phone will probably be a 14 or 15 in a year or two.

I actually use a XS since about 6 months after launch and it’s been holding up so incredibly well. Currently running at 78% battery health; it can die relatively quickly if I use it heavily, but on a normal day I can go a whole day no sweat. 3D Touch is super convenient, the A12 Bionic is still a power house, and the camera still look really good that honestly is so hard to really justify upgrading right now without thinking that I can still get probably 3 more years out of this phone and still be satisfied with it.
@tjadejoh2 жыл бұрын
I would recommend a battery replacement tho. A lot of problems can occor when your battery Health drops below 80%. Sometimes it cant support peak battery performance anymore, causing your phone to randomly shut down. With a simple $69 Apple replacement, you wil have a new battery (100% health offcourse) and you will be able to use it for 3 more years, as right now even the A9 chip gets software supports

This video proved to be great advice in my situation. I was a 2020 iPhone SE user looking to upgrade to an iPhone with a larger screen. Then, I happened to stumble upon this video. It convinced me to find a good iPhone XS Max. Ultimately, I found a brand new one on eBay (perfect screen, 100% battery health, etc.) for $394.99 with a charger and cable. Additionally, I also got a brand new Mophie wireless battery case off eBay for $6.75. So...for just a hair over $400...I got a tremendous "upgrade" despite the fact that the XS Max is two years older than my previous 2020 iPhone SE. The screen is bigger, it has three times more processor cores, more storage (went from 128gb to 256gb), longer lasting battery, better camera...it is superior in every possible way. Ohh yeah, and it still has 3D touch...a cherished feature that I missed terribly on the 2020 iPhone SE. So, if you're a 2020 iPhone SE user who's looking for a worthwhile and affordable upgrade option, then I highly recommend finding a good XS/XS Max . As the cherry on top, it's fantastic that accessories like the Mophie wireless battery case can still be found brand new on eBay for such a cheap price!!!
@thedesertsky2 жыл бұрын
I actually just bought an iPhone XS new off ebay. I was considering replacing my 13 mini because I liked the XS design so much and wanted a larger screen. I just think iPhones have gotten so chunky these days it's getting ridiculous. Having said that the screen on the XS has a really odd issue when the brightness is turned all the way down. Gray seems to turn brown and everything gets washed out. I bought another one and it has the same issue. Other than that the screen just has an odd color tint to it. The deal breaker might be night mode for me though. The camera is kind of useless in low light but I have to say night mode tends to artificially boost lighting in a lot of shots so the XS sometimes has a more realistic look in low light
@xalataf33652 жыл бұрын
Snatched up a regular 512gb XS for pretty cheap at the start of the year (somehow still on iOS 14!), and I love it so far. As for battery, I get around 6? 7 hours of SOT, compared to just around 2-3 on my previous 1st gen SE - both phones have new batteries, but I’m also not that much of a power user. 3D touch is super nice, same with the cameras, haptics, everything else. I kinda wish I waited a little longer and got either an 11 pro (wide angle and even better battery) or 12 mini (because even my “small” version is too big), but both were too expensive at the time. Didn’t like the size of the XR either. Guess I’ll see how well this phone serves me for the rest of the year.

And let's not forget the massive weight to the tune of 240 grams and the flat sides and overall thickness are all very bad for ergonomics--one-handed use is out of the question. Even the 11 Pro Max is approaching uncomfortable weight territory at 226 grams.

Could use the XS with one hand, has a zoom lens, Face ID, 3D Touch, OLED screen, etc. The Smart Battery Case was easy to hold, still fit easily in a pocket, could wirelessly charge, worked with headphones and CarPlay, and overall was just amazing. I really hope Apple would bring back the size of the XS and leave the plus/max options for those that like it.

The XS was the first iPhone with a 512GB option. I found an XS Max 512GB for a good price. It feels massive compared to the 64 and 128GB common on even much newer phones.

Gotta say, apple replacing batteries for $70 out of warranty is such a good deal especially because in most cases they do it same day. Plenty of their pricing is questionable at best, but my fiancé and I both got our batteries replaced and it was such a breeze. But yeah, my XS battery when I had the phone was… not great. And while my 12 Pro battery isn’t incredible it’s definitely a step up. And as much as I love the newer design language, something about the rounded gold XS with the pill shaped camera… *chefs kiss*

I have an 8+ and had planned to continue using it for the time being. I was just offered a free (I pay shipping) XS Max. I believe it's the 256gb version. The way I see it, it has to be better than my 8+, and even if the battery isn't great, I'm assuming it's as good as my 8+. Worse case scenario, maybe I can trade both the 8+ and the XS max down the road for something a bit newer. Either way, I feel lucky to have an upgraded phone coming to me even if it's 4 years old. Cheers!

Honestly the XS is not a bad iPhone! It's a great device even nowadays on any iOS version! It also has 3D Touch which is a must have feature for me and many other people. The XS is definitely one of the better gesture iPhone out there.

I‘m using an XS for 2,5years now and I still see no need for an upgrade. The phone is running on 79% battery capacity which is obviously not the best but still enough to get me through the day. The XS takes good pictures, is still very quick in using and there aren‘t any problems at all. Maybe I‘ll upgrade to an 13 Pro or 12 Pro in half a year or so because of battery. But at this moment there is no need to do so.

I really like the older notch on the X/XS/11/12 more than the current notch on the 13. It was wider and felt less intrusive. The newer notch looks a lot like all those other ugly Android notches. But all in all I don't really have a a big issue with either notch. As long as I can have a nice OLED in my pocket I'm sold.

That is a good phone for a four year old device. However, I do not keep an iPhone that long. Are usually upgrade two or three years from the previous upgrade. However, the iPad Pro 2018 has the same chipset. Do you think the iPad Pro third edition will continue receiving iPadOS updates past 2022? If not, I will definitely start saving money for a replacement iPad Pro. I am currently using an iPhone 12. It is running flawlessly. I really like Face ID. I really liked using my Apple Watch unlock my phone when I had to wear a face covering. That was an awesome feature Apple figured out.

One thing you could do with 3D Touch that you cannot with modern iPhones, press into the delete key. It makes it double its deleting speed, and was one of my favorite power tools when the automatic text selection wasn't working (address bar, Etc.) so I really miss that feature. I'd buy a 512 GB XS and be happy with that, although I can't complain about my 512 GB 13 mini. The XS and 11 Pros are the largest iPhones I will buy. I don't like the wide squat design of the XR and later had, and the SE's lack of power button TouchID, full-screen design, lack of 512 GB option, and non-balanced speakers, make it a non-buy for me. Not to mention, the 13 mini has a larger battery than the SE, and the OLED display saves power for me, yet gets brighter for others when needed makes it a somewhat better product. If we had the 13 mini, with Power button TouchID as well as FaceID, I'd be 100% happy, and would stick with that particular handset until it dies.
