I’ve had the Max since 2018, can’t believe how quickly time flies. The phone’s still amazing tho, apart from the battery and some heating issues.

[@euhphorical]

@@RithikaV yeah my battery health is 82% now, still usually lasts me the entire time I’m not at home, so I’ve never had to use a power bank. But the heat is smth that can’t be dealt with, in my case at least. I live in Pakistan and the summers are hot asf here, nothing can be done about that. Even most of the battery health loss I’ve had was during the summer season every other year.

[@Johnnygga]

I noticed 15.5 has drained a lil bit of my battery and has warmed up my XS Max a bit. The firmware before that was pretty much perfect in terms of battery and heat! That’s why I’ve been waiting forever for a 15.5.1 or the 15.6 update.

[@williamkterrell]

I have XS Max and battery is great at 92%. Keeps working great and I do not see why I would pay $1300 plus for a 14 Pro Max. My phone is great, thanks for your review.

[@crazyfun5150]

I just ordered a XS in gold in mint condition for $317. I considered getting an iPhone 14 pro, but ultimately I didn't want to spend $1200 on a phone. So I got the XS for the more compact design and the great OLED screen. I usually go with a few years old flagship iPhone because you still will get a few years of support. Plus I was a huge fan of the 3D touch and wish they didn't get rid of it. I'm hoping everything is as advertised. Because if so I'll be using the XS for 2-3 years until I have to upgrade.

[@dbzownz12345]

same with me. I'm debating between XS or 13 mini. I prefer smaller phones. SE 3 is nice, but I just don't like the way it feels, coming from a 2016 SE, so my decision is becoming of me. Currently testing XS battery wise to see if I can get a days out of it, cause with SE i do get a day. hardly use the phone so no sense in spending soo much on phone to collect more dust than used

[@crazyfun5150]

@@dbzownz12345 I had the 13 mini and I was very disappointed with it. I got the XS now and it does get me through a work day. The refurbished one I got was 87 percent on battery health and I do wind up having to use low power mode to get through a work day.

[@dbzownz12345]

@@crazyfun5150 I've just done a test on both phones. 1 hour of youtube consistantly on LTE cost the XS - 44% battery. 13 mini drained 25% using LTE. Wifi the XS lost roughtly 33% and mini lost 22%. Mind you, XS is 80%BH and mini is 100% BH. Both on ios 15.4/15.5. Dissappointed in the mini. Can only get 4 1/2hrs out a brand new phone on youtube before dead. I watch all these other videos on YT & so confused how they get 6hrs+ on mini. Think I got a lemon

[@h5244888]

I had my iPhone XS since 2019. Over the years of owning iPhones, I always felt the urge that I have to upgrade every year and a half. That is until now that I finally said to myself, Apple, I’m done with you as a company being persuasive in telling customers that you have to upgrade your iPhone every other year. I have always been more interested in the software of iOS rather than the physical designs of iPhone. Yes I miss the small hand friendly devices of the iPhone 4 and 5 days, and could I have held onto my iPhone 8 4.7” screen device, but overall iPhones these days have become so alike. Yes, there might be a few differences and features, but otherwise they work the same.

@@zahurulislam5044 either one would do since they both were released in 2018. You would have to look at the used market for these iPhones. They’ll continue to get software updates for with my guess the next three years. The only difference is the iPhone XR is a 6.1’ display and only a wide angle single lens camera, the iPhone XS on the other hand has a 5.8’ screen, a wide angle and a telephoto camera. Both phones have the A12 Bionic processor.

Thanks Nick! I still love this phone, even I upgraded to 13 Pro. The size is still the best, sweet spot. But unfortunately i needed better battery and newer camera…

[@jesseluv13]

Yes! The XS Max/11 Pro Max was my absolute favorite size iPhone! The 13 Pro Max 6.7 with squared edges makes a difference, and it seems a bit too big. But the 13 Pro feels a bit too small sometimes as well. I wish apple could bring back that 6.5 size..

[@kamalashraf4846]

There was an apple warehouse clearance sale at my place old new stock it was going for around 385 USD and i missed it i was so heartbroken. Went another time and gotten an 11 pro max instead at 658 USD open box condition means a customer rejected it. Was a very very tiny micro scratch on it barely can see it otherwise it's practically new so I'm quite happy now although i still missed that xs. There is something special about this era of iphones makes me coming back and not feeling missing out on the current ones. If you do get one it's a keeper for sure.

BUT! nick my man... your nails... it's not the first time when I see this in one of your videos. and I understand very clearly that it can be many reasons and circumstances about this. but still, you're creating content which is taken very near to your hands and any detail can be seen. and seeing those nails is not the best sight... I mean... I really don't want to be rude... it's just not suitable at least for the type of content you are creating. if you we're filming yourself from two meters and nothing was noticeable that would have been a totally different story. it just comes out and can't be ignored by most of people I would say. of course it will be those who will start to blame me for a thousand reasons of why I said all these and so on. BUT again : I have respect towards you and I really like what you are doing with your channel. this detail might do some damage to the overall quality of the videos. so... hope you read this and you'll do something about it. no offense, no intention of nothing bad. but the exact opposite.
