The iPhone XS & XS Max are getting iOS 18, and seem to perform decently enough- assuming you're not having battery problems. Anyone using the XS right now? How's it working for you?

In my experience, aside from the battery, I don’t see a need to upgrade yet. Sure the thing is literally 5 years old but I still don’t feel that age yet. Everything is pretty smooth until you game on it. (probably the only thing that shows its age) I’ll probably consider upgrading if it starts feeling slow like the older iPhones or the features are big enough to miss out on (and yes, AI isn’t a big deal for my use case). For now, I’m pretty happy with it. Plus, the cameras on this thing are actually pretty good, actually closer to the newer ones than you might expect when given plenty of light. (compared to my friends’ iPhone 13’s and 14’s) I use it with a manual camera app for my recreational photography when my camera is dead or isn’t with me and it gets the job done, even giving me impressive results sometimes. Of course, newer iPhones will be better and easier to use, but I am pretty content with it.

@@OTFDanny11I also have mine since 2018. I did not replace the battery yet, because it is still trucking along borderline okay. I have 1870 cycles on mine which is a lot, but I still get 3 1/2 hours of screen on time. This is obviously bad, but not totally broken bad. And so far that is usually enough to get by for me personally. And since it isn’t really getting any worse… I’m just gonna run it for now. I consider upgrading late 2025, but if it still runs well… heck I might delay it another year. This thing is running just fine except for the battery which is a bit bad.

It's all about the A12 Bionic and how Apple really put their effort to future proof the software. Most of the advanced features started on iOS 15 and even then, using the X felt barebones not having any features that are "new" at the time.

My XS has been in use for almost 6 full years and is still a pleasure to use. I had one battery replacement three years ago and I’ll probably get another soon since I don’t follow battery best practices. I may try to use this phone for ten full years since it is the XS model… it would be kind of poetic. I’ll keep you posted on how it goes.

I have mine since 2018 with 1870 cycles on the battery. I don't plan on upgrading either. I‘ll probably keep it until I think that the battery won’t make it another year to the next iPhone launch. I wont be investing in a battery swap anymore, as I am not completely against upgrading, I certainly got my worth out of it, so if it eventually slowly gives out I won‘t be mad, but as long as I don’t have to upgrade, I won’t. This thing is still running just fine, except for the somewhat tired battery.

Despite my old XS Max which I got used having a 1% battery health decrease compared to my old XR, the battery life was actually way better.

Still using the XS as well here with 256GB. Battery is indeed a bit of a problem but I carry my portable battery charger with me so it's most often not a problem. Aside from that, the phone performs really great and does not feel like a 6 year old iphone. The biggest thing stopping me from upgrading is the price. The new phones are a lot of money some I'm squeezing out every bit of performance from my XS until it's no longer usable.

The 10s was my dream phone since my uncle bought it on release. I finally got mine like 3yrs later cause I wanted a budget decent phone and everything said the XS was a value for the bucks. Finally pulled the trigger on a used (almost new condition) back in 2019 and this phone has since made me a smiling man. I LOVE IT. It’s premium, gorgeous and still runs as smooth as it did back then even on ios 17.5. Goated phone and i think one of apple’s staple designs. My feelings rn is that it will EASILY last me 2-3 more years and since I’m so in love with it i’ll use it until it’s practically unusable. sidenote if you’re considering it. The battery life (even a new one that I put in) is NOT GREAT but a 20€ powerbank investment is cheap and easy sooo not so much to worry about battery wise.

Man I got some stories to tell about the iPhone XS Max in gold. It was till this day imo the most premium feel I had on a iPhone. The camera was amazing. I took so many good shot with it while I was travelling. Somebody in Istanbul stole it from me once and we went on a adventure with a local taxi driver to find it. We did eventually find it and I just started spamming the ringtone through my apple watch on my iPhone XS Max so the thief started panicking because it was so loud that anyone around him noticed and got bothered.

I got the Xs upon its release in 2018 and its sad to me that just now (6 years later) Apple has finally came out with a phone that motivates me to upgrade: the IPhone 15 Pro. This is because previous to the 15 pro Apple has refused to make any real improvements to their newer models. But now that my IPhone is about to support for new IOS updates and the the IPhone 15 Pro has a 120hz OLED screen, a Dynamic Island, USB type C, and soon Apple Intelligence the upgrade seems worth it.

Are you in the US? Walmart sometimes has brand new 2022 IPhone SE for $150 and IPhone 11 for $199. You have to use their prepaid carrier for two months and then the phone automatically unlocks and you may switch. The prepaid carrier plans are very cheap and it’s only for 2 months. I think it’s an amazing deal for a new IPhone.

Great review Josh. Can you do a day in the life review on the iPhone 8 Plus? I am still using a iPhone plus as my main device which shocks some people. However, even not getting the iOS anymore the phone is still fast and I’m a fairly heavy user. I can be running multiple apps, including TikTok, and the phone handles everything well. I did have the original battery replaced recently and when I keep the phone in low battery mode it can last quite awhile. Also, the iPhone 8 Plus to me feels better in the bulkier new iPhone pro max’s and I love having a home button. I do have a newer iPhone that use for photography and my KZbin channel but I still prefer my 8 plus. I think it’s telling that 7 year old phone can do almost everything a new $1500 dollar phone can do. You can find iPhone 8 Plus’s for around $120 American dollars. There’s a lot of people in the world still using the iPhone 8 plus. Many people simply cannot afford a new $1000.00 iPhone.

I always loved the gold colour of the Xs so i upgraded my secondary phone to the Xs this year, it's so good, actually i ended up getting a good deal on the Xs Max because the face id doesn't work (i have never used this feature and hate it) I think storage capacity can cause the phone to become laggy especially if you are nearing the last 5-10GB of free storage. Mine has a new battery and lasts the entire day and sometimes even into half of the next day, though i don't do gaming so maybe that is what really affects the battery life. The Xs is definitely still a really good device to use but i would advise to get the 256GB/512GB storage model as the 64GB model is nothing especially in today's world and with a 4K camera. The speakers are so good especially when listening to music, it has become my music phone with over 9,000 songs on it.

Using Xsmax bought it used in 2021. BH currently at 82%. Bought it at 89%. Only issue i had was about a year ago when it got into a bootloop due to full storage so had to restore phone Imo it has the best frame. Nos scratching no peeling still fresh and shiny. I also like the weight. Feels premium Was running ios 14. But due to the bootloop ws restored to ios 16. I dont update my phones cos i feel like apple intentionally slows down phones when they want to phase out. I have an iPhone 8 Plus running ios 13 smoothly.

Loved my XS, but was under the impression that - seeing as the X lost access to the latest iOS last year - it was about to do the same when the new iPhone gets released. Therefore, when my battery needed replacing, I decided to go for something a bit newer. I need the latest iOS to pair with my Apple Watch, so I’m now using a 13 Mini, which should give me a few more years of support. Thanks for the content.

I had the XS max, amazing phone I ended up giving it to my mom after I swapped it with a new battery, I now have a 14 plus, meets my basic needs and got a great deal on it since it had poor sales lol

The X, XS, and 11 Pro's 5.8" Display was the perfect size. I hope they bring it back for the SE. Having an iPhone X with an A18 chip for $399 would be a great option in 2024.

Still happy with my XS. Don’t like the look of the cameras on the newer ones. But, I suppose I’ll be forced to upgrade next year when they stop support for it 😢

There is one additional hardware/cosmetic difference between the X and XS. They moved the camera bump ever so slightly, so if you put a case meant for the X on a XS its fit will be slightly off around the camera. Also I miss the notch from the XS, the Dynamic Island on recent iPhones pokes down too far and takes up significantly more useable screen space than the XS.

Hallo und vielen Dank für dieses Video. Mein iPhone Xs Max ist inzwischen fast 6 Jahre alt und ich bin damit absolut zufrieden. Es gibt keinen Grund auf ein neues Gerät zu wechseln. Alles funktioniert perfekt. Den Akku habe ich selbst getauscht und kann das auch nochmal machen wenn der Akku wieder zu schwach sein sollte. Da das iPhone nun auch noch iOS 18 bekommt finde ich wirklich genial. Somit kann ich das Gerät ohne Sorgen noch ein weiteres Jahr nutzen 😃👍 Liebe Grüße aus Deutschland

I’m watching this on the 10X Max right now. It works great except I am upgrading to the 16 pro Max because I have to use more tools on it for work so it is my wife and so we have to have an upgraded phone and with the support ending next year we want to be ahead of the curve. I find it interesting that the 10 X max has a larger green than just the 16 pro if you want a comparable screen, you have to go with the 16 Pro Max. The 10 X is 6.5 inches. The 16 pro is 6.3 and the 16 Pro Max is 6.9.

I hope someone reads this, I currently have an iPhone SE 2022 with 64gb of storage and was looking to sell it and buy an iPhone XR with 128 storage, I will get a bigger screen, Face ID, and most importantly better battery because the SE just drains too fast. Is it a good idea?
@archux_
@archux_ 5 ай бұрын
no it isn't a good idea, the XR won't get as many years of updates as the se3, i would get atleast a used iphone 12 or even 13 if you have the money because the 13 has the same specs as the SE3. i mean the xr is still a pretty good phone but the updates are the bad thing

My dad is still using an XS MAX which was old even when I bought it for him dirt cheap. The battery was in a pretty bad condition so after a year of use I payed an authorised service to replace it. Being an ex android user for the past decade, it amazes me to see a 7 year old device work flawlessly with only a battery change. If my 13 Pro Max still works 7 years after I bought it when it was new, I would find it hard to think of a reason to switch to something newer.

This is sort of how I feel about my 13 Pro Max- I 'worked my way' into this phone, and it's still great to use and very premium to me with the stainless steel. Verizon's latest deal for the 16 Pro where they give you $1000 over 3 years is such a scam. You need a $10 per month higher plan, and they slowly give you $1000 over 36 months.. so you're paying $360 of that $1000 they are giving you. It's such a scam and you can't even pay the phone off as they are slowly giving that credit to you.
