How is iPhone XS in 2025?

Was meant to be a 1 week test. I’ve been using it for over a month now on the latest iOS 18!

Fun fact: used iPhone Xs is still like 250usd in Korea because the photos taken on it have more natural looks and warm vibes than recent iPhones 😂

shit, and I've been doing it for years

[zpzp]

iPhone X and XS are my favorite iPhone design

When I watch your videos I always think “why are 99% of other tech YouTubers are boring?” Thank you for passion Samuel!

I'm still rocking the XS MAX from 2018.
Besides the battery being chewed up by modern apps, it works fine.

I'm also using my iphoneX, love how slim and compact it is. Doesn't even feel something is in my pocket.

[guiancarlo]

The design is still holding up really well!

I literally use the iPhone XS 256Gb in Gold on iOS 18.1, I’ve been using it for 4yrs now. It’s a good phone, nice photos, nice oled display, love the size and nice performance. But the problems I’ve got with the phone is the overheating and battery life is not too good.

some things i noticed, probably just over the internet, are that a lot of people will make u feel like sh*t and make u feel like ur missing out if u have an older iphone. But the reality is, iphones are usually still usable and functional after 5+ years. A lot of the tedious and minuscule upgrades like camera whatver or the 6969 megabit processor or something that the older iphones lack aren't even noticeable especially if u only use ur phone for minor things.

Great video bro!
Still rocking iPhone X in 2024! Hopefully make it with it to 2025!

This is the most anticipated of all of your videos so far. I’ll update once I’ve watched it.

In Brazil a lot of older iPhone's are still used much. From the 8 to the newer ones. My grandma still uses a iPhone 6s, and still works perfectly. I use an iPhone 11, and the only thing that bothers me is the screen, that's an LCD. But as long as a device can run WhatsApp, brazillians can use it.

upgraded from my xs 2 days ago, still a solid phone so i gave it to my sister, works great

[Melissalove]

I loved the iPhone XS, but I was saving for few months and I'm upgrading to 16 pro max, Does somebody know a good leather case I can get?

[Cosmorado]

Crazy cuz I still use a fucked up Iphone 8, I changed the battery once, but other than a heavily cracked back glass. It fits all my needs for now

[YeetusFeetus]

I’m literally watching this on my IPhone XS max, it’s been 4years with this, hopefully I can make it last for another 1-2 years

[soniabawa]

I just found your channel and will keep watching

Your editing skills are top-notch! It makes watching your videos so enjoyable.

the X series phones are still quite phenomenal! I was using my XR until this week, after which I switched to a 13 mini. The only reason I switched was because the screen got damaged from a fall and I decided it wasn't worth replacing it, otherwise I was still planning to use it for a year more. I already did a battery replacement for it a year back.
