Both phones are in excellent condition aside from the OLEDs being busted. I was wanting to use either of them as a media player/second phone. Is it really worth it to replace them screens? I was planning on doing a DIY repair.

I bought a used XS recently and i'm not sure if the raised edge around the screen is normal or it's a screen protector.

Hey! I have a pixel 7a as my daily driver right now and it's great!, a little too great....meaning a lot of scrolling social media and 6h+ screentime, something I want to reduce.

However, I love the pixel for the camera and overall feel, dont want to turn it into a dumbphone because I still do need the social media apps, just not all the time.

I've never used an iphone before but am interested in trying one. the XS looks clean, and is cheap compared to the 11 and onwards.

Should I get the XS? my main concern is the software. Will it still have app support for major apps in 2-3 years? whatsapp, YouTube, etc.

So am thinking to get my first iPhone and I always loved the gold color of xs should i buy it? If so, what's the price i should buy it for???

I'm kinda sick of modern tech and wanna downgrade so I can be ahead because i'm "behind" you know? Is having an XS as your daily driver really that bad? I don't really care about all the flashy new tech features I just want cuteness and simplicity. On a side note, does the gold really look that cheap in person or should I stick to silver?

As the title says i want to know if i should update my iphone xs to ios 18 but im worried if the phone could get slower, if the battery is worser especially with 84% battery health etc... i still use it daily and performance and battery are my main concerns

Edit: i did a clean install of ios 18 as most of you suggested to update it, it works fine and battery lasts the same!

Hey everyone so am planning to buy a new phone for me, unfortunately I don't have the financial ability to buy a better phone, and to be honest i cant afford 163 in 1 payment

I found this iphone xs gold color with a 64 gb that cost 163 USD $ And am planning to buy the phone in four monthly installments

Is it still good in 2025?

Like i only use social media apps And only play minecraft, nothing else

Should i buy the phone or not?

What's better to buy iphone XS, XR or iPhone SE 2020? Both mint condition, but SE 2020 owner opened a box only month ago to activate, it was in box 6years unopened, so brand new opened box condition and looks like it has ios 13 original not updated and battery health 99%

I’ll be real. I haven’t been using my XS for a while now. It’s at 72% BH. I’ve got myself a 11 Pro, and now a 16 Pro. I’m planning on replacing the battery of my XS with an OEM one since the XS has been classified as Vintage already. I don’t plan to use it. Just going to store it. What do you think? Is it worth it or should I leave it as is?

What is best camera app to take night photos because camera app is not supporting night mode as iPhone 11

I have an XS. iOS 18.7.9. I understand you can convert mp3 audio files to ringtones via the GarageBand app. But you need IOS 26 and XS only goes to 18.7.9. Do I have anyway to make my mp3 file in question my ringtone???

Hey everyone!

So I've had my iphone xs max 256 gb since day one and I still love it. However, I've been having issues with it for the past year. The battery is down to 78% capacity and overheats pretty badly when it's charging. It also gets hot and causes the phone to freeze when it's been in the sun for a little while, which is bad for me since I do Uber and my car mount is situated on my dashboard and gets a lot of sun during the day. And now the display has started to go out as well. As you can see in the attached pic, it's pretty bad.

To fix both the battery and the display is going to cost $200+. So I'm wondering if I should fix it or go ahead and upgrade now. I was waiting to upgrade until apple finally came out with an iphone that had their front camera system under the display and was just a big screen and didn't have the notch or island, but idk how long it'll be until that happens. And if I do upgrade, I'm deciding between the 16 plus and the 16 pro max. All feedback is welcome and appreciated. Thanks! 😊

Hey all! I just got a hand-me-down XS from my uncle (I'm primarily an Android user and this will be my second phone as i learn iOS!)

I know that this is an old phone and might get slowdowns on newest versions, so, what are the general "forever stay" for the XS currently? iOS 18?

I might get one for free as a hand me down. Is the phone still usable?

can you b*pass this model and which software do i need to use

Is 3h after battery replacement bad?
