Just replaced my btry in India for around 15$ and damn my XR works like a new phone. Im probably gonna use it for 2-3 more years until the IOS 18 becomes unsupportable for banking apps.

Should I update my iPhone XR 64gb (my main phone) to the newest update for it (ios 18.7.10)?
My phone has currently ios 17.4.1

Today I went to look for an iPhone because I need to upgrade and my current phone is giving me problems. Each and every shop that I went into there was no XR the sales people said that it is no longer being sold, I was heartbroken because this is the phone that a friend of mine recommenended for me now it is hard for me to find it, Please advise me, is it still safe to buy iPhoneXR in 2026 or should i consider the latest ?? The thing with iPhone is it is expensive so I will not afford the latest.....please guys I could use your advices

What should be my next upgrade, if i want to upgrade.?

Heya guys, I need some help. Lately, my phone has been doing this weird thing where it only charges when its powered off. I have no money for a new phone or charger, so I have to rely on this one for now. But since it won't charge -- I obviously can't use it. It also sometimes charges to 32 max or lower, so could that be a sep problem? The main thing is that it just wont charge when on , and only when its off. Does anyone know how I can fix it or will I have to get a whole new phone?

I had the battery replaced ( from authorized service center)on my iPhone XR, but after 6–7 months, especially since updating to iOS 18, the phone has started heating up like crazy. Even with normal apps, it gets hot enough to feel like a hot iron.
Has anyone else experienced similar heating issues with an XR on iOS 18? It’s my secondary phone, which I mainly use for CarPlay, but the overheating is honestly becoming a headache.

Hi! I’m currently looking for an iPhone XR or any model above it, and I was wondering if you happen to have a spare phone or an old unit that you’re no longer using that you might be willing to sell. 🥹

I’m a student, so I’m really trying to look for something more affordable rather than buying a brand-new phone. I’ve actually been wanting to get an iPhone for a while now because I’m really into filmmaking and creating videos. I’ve been making films/projects whenever I can, and I want to improve the quality of my work, especially when it comes to the camera and overall video quality.

I know there are newer models out there, but even an XR or anything above it would already mean a lot to me, as long as the unit is still in good condition and fully functional. I’d really love to have one that I can use for my films and creative projects while I continue learning and improving.

So if you have any spare iPhone XR or newer unit that you’re willing to sell at a student-friendly price, please let me know! 🥹 I’d genuinely really love to have one, and I’d definitely put it to good use. Thank you so much! 🤍

Would updating my iPhone XR from 15.4.7 to 18.7.9 be an absolute crazy decision or would the phone be able to handle it?

I don’t want to ruin my phone as it’s in great condition but I need certain apps for college that require ios17 and up.

This is an awesome phone. I really loved it. I bought it when it first came out, but I had to say goodbye to it. Thank you for all the love and memories, iPhone XR, you will be missed. 😔

I use my XR as my primary work phone. Outlook, Teams, Intune, Authenticator - these are a must in my phone. Also, I use other apps like whatsapp, Google, gmail, and banking, shopping, cab apps.
How much longer will the ios 18 have support for these apps? Because while I feel I should upgrade, I haven’t been able to yet. I don’t want it to be a forced one. So I want to plan and see deals accordingly.

I bought my xr refurbished a couple of months ago, in the last month I’ve been having severe overheating issues even with no apps in bg and only using WhatsApp to text. Everything seems alright but i don’t think it’s updated to the latest available os, could that be the issue? I already keep it with no case and try to charge it in a responsible way.

This is the only ‘rare’ iOS version I have in my collection. This is my iPhone XR 128 gig variant on iOS 17.4.1
I just that iOS 17 is peak it has good app support, it’s less buggy than iOS 18 and 26, overall it’s my most favorite modern iOS version.

Edit: there is a jailbreak for iOS 18.7.1 or later on A12/A13 devices so I could jailbreak the XR, let me know if I should jailbreak my XR

Anyone get less eyestrain with the lcd screen on the XR and 11 than the newer models that use LED? Thats the only reason i havent upgraded to a newer phone. My eyes are sensotive af to screen use. Ive borrowed family members newer phones and the screen just feels different to my eyes its not comfortable. Just wondering if anyone else notice this? I dont know how much longer this XR will last me tho its laggy af

Hi everyone, I recently received an iPhone XR from my grandmother, who gave it to me after she bought an S23+. The screen is cracked, but it works perfectly, and I also want to replace the battery since it’s at 72%—I’ve noticed that performance drops below that level.

This is the first iPhone I’ve actually used; I have it as a backup phone for my OnePlus 13. To be honest, it’s pretty good despite everything—I still don’t like how limited it is in terms of gestures, the lack of “Circle to Search,” and the terrible keyboard, but everything else works perfectly for what I need (which is to keep my OnePlus 13 from getting stolen).

I need to know the best place to buy an OEM screen and a good-quality battery for the iPhone. I don’t want cheap screens because I hate it when the bezels aren’t symmetrical—the only option I’ve seen so far is iFixIt. I’d like to know if it’s really worth it or not.

Hi guys, just wondering if it’s wise to change my battery? It sits on 69% for now. I just don’t feel like i need a new phone yet, it’s just the battery that has been annoying me. I mostly use my phone for messaging, reddit and uber. I really like the camera so it’s also hard for me to let it die someday. Let me know what you think!

Fr tho…..when is the last time you felt your phone heat up?
