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.

No it does! Y'all come online and act like these phones aren't ageing I use and iPhone Xs Max and I can tell y'all reading this for sure that the story is totally different from what he's saying, Especially when you update to the latest iOS (iOS 18.1) That update specifically took a toll on my device and I've been using this phone since 2022 that's two years ago, I updated from iOS 15 to 16 no issue, 16-17 no groundbreaking issue but 17 -18??? My phone heats up like helllll, and when it does that guess what?, It lags soo bad it becomes totally unusable Ordinary day to day apps like KZbin and telegram would make my phone crumble to it knees especially when using it indoor with a neutral room temperature. Bro I literally use to play COD on this device and now it's practically impossible so coming online and seeing y'all just act normal is soo crazyyy fr

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!

Great video brother! In 2018, I upgraded from my Samsung S8 to an XS Gold. Despite testing the S8, It just felt wrong & felt it lacked something. The XS was just perfect for me, everything from design, weight, and overall feel were superior. I still prefer it today. Currently, I use an 14 Pro, but I’ve recently reunited with my XS (it is still in great condition, except for the battery). I use it as my work phone and sometimes switch to it for everyday web browsing or listening to podcasts. Picking it up today without a case gives of a great pleasuring feeling. It’s a gem! Recently, I visited an Apple store and picked up the 16 Pro from the display table. I like the MacBook-inspired edges; however, it just felt like a weightless toy .

My experience using the Xsmax after iOS 18 upgrade hasn't been the best I can't lie, Phone gets hot easily, phone lags alottt, animation becomes soo crappy, Phone automatically goes dark and shows that reboot/reloading infinite circle sign for like a minute or sometimes less, apps that should be easily crushed are giving the phone a tough time, I've even had to uninstalled my COD after the upgrade cause it'll fry my phone without a cooler I've been using this phone since 2022 and I've upgraded from iOS 15 all the way to 18.0(scared to upgrade to 18.1 cause the 18.0 experience has destroyed my experience and I don't want to cause more damage) If I had money for a new one I'm switching cause NGL the iPhone Xsmax has aged no matter how you look at it. I'm glad you didn't experience these issues and I'm also surprised you were able to still do those tasks easily even after upgrading...

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.

@ it’s pretty close in performance but in camera and battery life, the pixel absolutely crushes the iPhone XS, I can say it cos even I own an iPhone XS 256gb. So I know what it can and can’t do. But for the latest Pixel 9 line and iPhone XS to be close in performance, it’s pretty bad, I mean it’s a 6yr old iPhone, yeah Google just started making their chips and u can use that as an argument, but they seem to be only focused on the NPU/AI aspect of the chip that enables their famed Google magic. I can’t buy a Pixel 9 pro and expect to keep it for 4yrs+ when even rn it’s more or less comparable to my iPhone XS in performance. They need to improve their raw performance and fast. Cos even midrange chips from Mediatek and Qualcomm snapdragon can run circles round the Google Tensor G chips, not to talk of the old flagship Apple chipsets like the A14 in the iPhone 12 line and IPad 10th gen. They have to improve fast if they ever want to compete in the Flagship performance space and keep their phones supported for 7yrs as they “promised”. They sell Flagship prices so they have to perform at that price point.

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.

Is your Xs update to iOS 18? I’m alsso using Xs with 14.8 but the app messenger can not be used normally cuz it require ios 15 or later 😢

@@TungNguyen-kl3fw I am on iOS 17.0, because with that I can use the Trollstore exploit to install any apps I want, like on android. Why don't you update to the latest? 14.8 is too old for apps, but great for jailbreaking.

@@TungNguyen-kl3fw I'm on iOS 17.0 because that specific version is the last one with the Trollstore exploit for unlimited sideloading. But why don't you update to latest software? Everything will work fine and a new battery helps a lot. 14.8 is only good for jailbreaking nowadays.

Still on my xs. As you said, everything is great for 90% of the things you use the phone for, only problems are battery, storage and cameras. 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:)

The last time I used an iPhone 10 was in late 2020, when I upgraded to the 12 Pro Max, sold the X, and am currently using the 15 Pro Max. Watching these videos makes me want to buy an iPhone Xs Max, fix the battery, and use it as a work phone.
