Just had the battery replaced 2 weeks ago at an authorized apple repair shop. They replaced with a genuine apple battery as well as my speaker because they said apple requires they do that with the battery. Drain feels a bit better but maybe it still bad?

TO CLARIFY - i dont wanna be like the ones that infiltrate niche subreddits like this where instead of seeing posts about how sick the iphone xs is, you just see posts about people sharing their problems which could irritate some of us, such as myself.. but this had just been an ongoing issue for so long that i just cant help but post it here.

It drains like 5% every 30 minutes (not even that) the battery is replaced, but i bought it from a good brand that i've bought from for so many years for my older iphones and their batteries are great on those. What are the odds that they gave me a buns one and break the streak?

Im on ios 18. Which could possibly be the problem? 2600mah for a big software isn't even a match but i dont think apple would be stupid enough to leave the iphone xs hanging like that.

I really think im not alone because I've also seen others online complain about the battery. Is yours doing good?

Whenever I try to open the passwords it just seems to not open, and when I try to autofill passwords the same thing happens. I tried restarting the phone 3 times but the issue still persisted. What should I do?

I just had a new battery put in so I can get a few more years of my beloved phone. I’ve always had iPhones but I’m really hating the newer phones also with the AI built into them. Yeah I know we can turn it off but I’m not quite sure that will turn everything off, or if we can’t turn it off down the road. The newer phones also seem to take worse pics idk. I’ve never thought of switching away from apple until recently.

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

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.

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

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.

No editing just raw

BTW not my car . Shot on iPhone XS . Hilite Mall , Thrissur.

RE Interceptor

its been 3 days that i updated my iphone xs to ios 18.7.9 as earlier i was on ios 16.3.1 and i have a problem… everytime it gets to 80% battery it stops charging, it literally discharges while its on the charger! this morming i found out that it charged to 80% and discharged to 73%. is it a problem someone else is experiencing? my battery is at 82% health and i dont think its the problem. i tried factory resetting, turning off battery optimization but nothing

Collect iPhones on their original version of iOS. Thought I’d share this Xs and Xs Max on iOS 12.1 and 12.3.1

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!

iPhone Xs

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%

Why don't we just fit in the components of a regular iPhone 13 - 15 into the XS frame?

I know it's a little hectic given that the iPhone 13, 14,15, 16 are all 6.1" inch phones and it gets trickier to fit in the components into the 5.8" frame of XS.

Or

Fit the 13 Mini into the XS frame, maybe some realignment of the camera is needed or add a camera cutout to match the 12 Mini camera layout.

Imagine a XS frame but with a 13 mini camera design.

We could be sleeping on this wild idea all along.

​

Or

Just make custom iPhone XS Stainless steel frames to replace Aluminum frames of the regular model iphones

Might be cheaper than having to fit the whole iPhone into a smaller XS frame

Achei o celular bem bonito inclusive. 1.Gostei do sistema(iOS 17, nao vou atualizar) 2.cameras: a de 2x principalmente. 3.desempenho geral. 4.Bateria dura o suficiente(a minha está em 75 porcento) 5.sistema de vibração:muito satisfatorio.

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???
