I Switched to an iPhone XR for a Week! Is the iPhone XR Worth it in 2022?

Can I survive using an older iPhone XR for a week instead of my iPhone 13 Pro? Do you really need to upgrade?

    Wants the best screen, best design, best cameras, and best performance.
    *Buys the latest iPhone 🤡*

    Got my XR in 2020 brand new. Plenty of storage and working fine, but I plan on getting a green 13 if they have them. But was told I’m better off not trading this one in

    Am I the only cave man using a iPhone 8 still and only looking to replace it as it’s smashed to pieces 😂

    Why do smaller phones feel bigger in reviewer’s hands?

  7. Just Soap on March 1, 2023 at 5:30 am

    Haha I bought a XR yesterday for 170 In very good condition I Upgraded from a 7+
    And I very happy with it. Good video btw 🙂

    I’ve never bought a new iPhone. I just bought me an awesome Mophie battery case for 18 bucks on eBay for my red XR and works great. I’ll buy me a new “to me” iPhone 13 Pro in 2024 for about 400 bucks probably cheaper.

  9. Billrich tv on March 1, 2023 at 5:32 am

    I really wish i can have your iphone Xr , i would really be so grateful…

  10. Grové Erasmus on March 1, 2023 at 5:35 am

    My XR still going during 02/2023 with battery. I’ve had it 4,5 years is going to have to last at least until 2025.

  11. R.J. on March 1, 2023 at 5:35 am

    Me rockin with a 6 😶‍🌫

  12. Karu on March 1, 2023 at 5:35 am

    I have the XR since 2019 and it’s literally just how I got it from its box, I don’t really have a need to change it. to me it’s the perfect phone. fast, good price, good camera good user experience. why would you need more 🤣 let’s see if I reach the 10 year mark with it in a couple of years

  13. Khalid Muhammad on March 1, 2023 at 5:35 am

    I call people?

    This time last year, I upgraded from iPhone 7 to XS. Meanwhile, my kids went from iPhone X to the 13 Pro. Personally, I’m not a fan of the shape or weight of their phone.
    I’m very happy with all the XS’ features, and made a conscious decision to get it rather than the year before’s X – the XR was never in the running for me, due to its lower specification.
    Have to say, I’I probably stay with XS til Apple stop giving it the latest IOS.

  15. Cherif on March 1, 2023 at 5:38 am

    Looks like you work for Apple 🤨🤨🤨

  16. A.Bus.Named.Freedom on March 1, 2023 at 5:43 am

    Still using a 6s plus. It does everything I need but the camera does sucks.

  17. Ben Hickle on March 1, 2023 at 5:44 am

  19. Darien Ricketts on March 1, 2023 at 5:45 am

    I upgraded from iPhone 7 (256 gb) to XR (256) and I’m loving the CR

    your FOMO statement is real, that’s what drives business. FOMO… you’re a real one for that.

  21. Nexlo Free Music on March 1, 2023 at 5:53 am

    My personal phone.. for my use I think the only bad thing it’s 4g and the camera stills being good compare to a mid-low price Android

  22. Umer Afridi on March 1, 2023 at 5:53 am

  23. Jean Mulligan on March 1, 2023 at 5:54 am

  27. Nylah Ray on March 1, 2023 at 6:00 am

    I’m getting the XR in like 2 days and the fact that you’ve played cod mobile is what I was looking for 😭😭 I play everyday and wanted to make sure it could still run . My iPhone X overheats with everything I do so I’m switching over to the XR . This video is perfect thank you for posting !!

  35. HoodGettho45k on March 1, 2023 at 6:07 am

    Iphone xr is still good as an daily driver

  36. Bonnie Burton on March 1, 2023 at 6:08 am

    I had the iPhone 11 from boost Mobile but it had scratches I took it back got my money back and I’m with the xr $99 plus $10 for the phone free service for 3 months unlimited everything plus $100 in my pocket for now but I want to upgrade to the 13 many or maybe the 12 but right now right now it’s one step at a time I flip phone so it’s always someone with these prepaid carriers now you only have to be with him for three months and if someone has a better deal hey imma grab it up cuz they have great deals with free iPhones but you got to switch to them they’re prepaid I don’t like sign contracts contracts are better to be unlocked prepaid

    I own an iPhone XR and it’s great

  42. Daniel Rateyiwa on March 1, 2023 at 6:16 am

  43. VGANG Viking on March 1, 2023 at 6:17 am

    Get a MagSafe case for it. Easy fix.

  44. Gregaslay on March 1, 2023 at 6:17 am

    my sister has an xr. works great for her!

  45. Vatsa Jannabhatla on March 1, 2023 at 6:17 am

    my xr works very well… The other day I was inspired to buy 14 pro and went to store… just kept my xr beside 14 pro and checked if i feel anything new… frankly if you are not super into photography, xr is best value for money…. I decided not to buy 14 pro which offers hardly anything for a daily user than xr… Only in youtube videos there is a major difference 😄

  46. LilGrimey5Star on March 1, 2023 at 6:18 am

    5:23 what do you mean they added 120 Hz to iPhone 12 Pro? How do I turn it on? I have the iPhone 12 Pro Max

  47. Mike Hunt on March 1, 2023 at 6:18 am

    I’ll start this by saying im not an Apple person. Samsung has been my go to phone since smartphones came out. I still stand by it. But over the holidays a family member bought me an XR rebuilt from Apple to serve as a work phone cause everyone I work with uses iPhones so sometimes it becomes a little irritating not being able to access certain things on my note 10 I was using prior. I honestly thought this thing would be alot shittier than it is. For how old it is it’s performs rather well. Only issue I’m having is the speaker quality apposed to Samsungs is kinda lack lustre crackly and distorted sounding phone calls and not being able to max out my video volume is kinda lame but other than that it’s actually pretty quick for an old iPhone. I still stand by android though. I would never spend money on an Apple phone I feel like you get so much more with android. But bring it was a gift I’ll roll with this one for a while

  48. Fox Davani on March 1, 2023 at 6:19 am

    Why would you complain that you zoomed in and a photo isn’t sharp? Who zooms in to look at a photo? Anyone who does that isn’t enjoying the photo. They are…..I don’t know what they are enjoying but it’s clearly not the photo.

  49. gscop 123 on March 1, 2023 at 6:21 am

    Ever since I got the IOS 16 update on my XR, my phone has been messed up. The touch screen glitches out and I needed to put a setting on called Haptic touch. This limited by abilities with my phone because I have to hold the screen down for 0.1 seconds for it to register. This does not seem like a lot but when trying to type, tap, or swipe quickly it frustrated me because I wasn’t able to play some games like geometry dash, and the phone became slower. I’m planning to upgrade to an iPhone 11 now and hopefully it will be good.

  50. BHH54 on March 1, 2023 at 6:22 am

    Thank you for the review. I was really needing some options as I was thinking about upgrading my XR, but since the new iPhones are not available without a wait, I think I will just get a new battery and then wait for the iPhone 15 to come out with UBC charger. Great video, good job!
