iPhone XR in 2025 - IS IT WORTH IT

The iPhone XR came out five years ago, but is it still worth buying in 2023

Just went from an XR to a 12, and its 10x better though I will miss the XR as it had one hell of a good battery

XR has got to be one of my favourite phones. Especially the colour options.

Last week purchased a refurbished XR with 90% Battery Capacity, working absolutely fine in IOS 17

I just bought my iPhone XR this year in august and it works perfectly! And yes it’s a second hand iPhone but it’s really good

[luvrstar]

I really want the iPhone XR, the model looks so nice

[rmorales]

Got my XR with the update iOS !!! Still on top.💯

just moved from an SE (the oldest one) to an XR and this phone is really the best you’ll ever need, it does everything and it’s infinitely better than the SE.

That’s my backup phone of all time. One of the best iPhone series out there. I bring that every time I travel abroad.

I had just recently got passed down my dad's xr to mine, it is STILL in mint condition even after 5 years and everything still works, no issues whatsoever. a massive upgrade from my previous iphone 8 and gaming performance is overall solid for a half a decade old phone. although battery health concerns me as it is on 78%

My XR runs pretty fine after owning it for almost 3 years. Battery isn't at good though as my battery health is at 83%. I plan to upgrade next year when the 16 comes out or the 17 as I am able to cope with my XR at the moment


UPDATE: a month after this comment I upgraded to the XS max as I needed to upgrade due to my battery and the XS Max served me well. Better battery life. I then upgraded to a 12 Pro Max and it’s serving me well currently. Much much better than my XR’s battery life and my 12’s battery health is on 89%. My XS Max was on 81% but battery life was 2x better than my XR’s. My XR did serve me well for 3 years though and i have given my XR to my sister as she needed to upgrade from her old iPhone 7

of course! my mom has one, it’s working perfectly fine!

Ive had my iphone xr since it came out in 2018. Works just as good as it did when it first came out. Takes very good pics & video. Battery life is just now at 81%. It’s a really good phone. Not slow at all. Its what Im commenting with😊😊
Also, I accidentally dropped it in the dishwater twice a few years apart & it worked great after! I have no complaints. It does everything I need it to do & more😊

the xr is an awesome phone, no question, but it's getting old.
i've had one since its release and tomorrow i'll be switching to a 14 pro max!
goodbye to the greatest phone i've owned so far

I have iPhone XR 🎉❤ and it’s very good device 🎉

[darealnoone]

I just got an xr after switching from an iPhone 7 so I’ll be good another few years

[MohammedMekaoui-qm]

After 5 years my yellow xr is at 86 battery health

[iamzyxt]

were in 2024 now and my iphone xr is running ios 18 beta 3 like a charm

[abhijeetseditingstatus]

One of the best ios phone.. I used it since 2019 as a primary device nd it’s awesome..!! From : xr ❤️

[klaileafox]

I recently upgraded from an iPhone XR to an iPhone 15 and I don’t regret it, but the memories I had with the iPhone XR is wild! Like bro was dropping (badly with damage) 2 separate times and ran over by a car and still working……so this iPhone 15 BETTER amount to that and more 😂

[lilPopper]

I have 4 friends that still use the iPhone XR. Heck, I have a friend that is still using the iPhone 7. And I'm using the iPhone 8 as a back up phone.

Moral of my story: treat your devices right and it will last longer than the average life expectancy, even if they no longer get software upgrades.
