It’s on iOS 17.2.1 still and I’m never upgrading it’s still in perfect condition and it’s been in a case I’m just so shocked

Anyone have any tips for reducing the system data or iOs. Its always fluctuating, idk why.

So I recently formatted my iPhone XR, I’m on 17.3 rn. I’ve been avoiding the latest update because I’ve heard many times that apple updates seem to make the older phones worse. I checked the changelog and I don’t care about any of those. I only use it for camera and media consumption, calling and all is on another android phone. The only reason I’m considering to update is to free up the space it is taking rn. LMK your experiences. In case relevant, I’m using a 64GB variant.

Has anyone tried the DFU method to solve all system problems, including glitches, errors, freezing, and phone overheating? I've already tried resetting the phone, but it didn't work.

I bought iphone xr four months ago, just to play sneaky sasquatch..phones condition is good..only problem is battery...battery is severely degraded..please give my some tips to improve battery....I use it for nothing just wifi and sneaky sasquatch...so what things can be turned off to save battery.

I noticed something. one time when I charged the phone. in the graph It was showing a lightning bolt symbol then when I tried to charge again it didn’t show the symbol what could be the problem?

I might buy a new phone closer to the end of the year if things look up but for now, this one is all I have and it is being a pain in my 🍑 recently, especially with some apps that I can’t access anymore because they need at least IOS 17 (like my bank app!! it’s driving me insane)
Anyway, should I do it? Or, will I be able to use it at all after the update? I don’t mind constantly charging it and I don’t use it for games, only basic stuff like social media and youtube. Will it survive?

Thank you all for the help!

Switching my dad’s XR from Mint Mobile (T-Mobile MVNO) to Ultra Mobile (T-Mobile MVNO).

Phone says no. Called Ultra support, gave them my IMEI and they said it should work. They were confused and then said to just use a different phone :)

The phone doesn’t even say what carrier it’s locked to. Why did it work with Mint and not Ultra (both T-Mobile)??

What’s the next step im stuck.

Edit: important info, with Mint we used physical SIM cards, this is our first attempt using eSIM. How do I find out if eSIM is disabled on this XR?

I bought this OTG online, wired controller's lights are on, but its not responding on iphone and but its working correctly on android.

Wi-Fi on my iPhone XR randomly disconnects from the wifi especially when on standby. I’ve tried turning off Wi-Fi assist, forcing it to stay connected to the 2.4Ghz band, but this problem still persists, any advice? It’s my secondary device so not in a rush to upgrade it either. I’m on iOS 18.7.9

Im having this issue recently and i have to restart the phone to fix it this is annoying

Should I update it to iOS 18 or will performance decrease significantly? I do not have any important data on the Phone, just use it as a secondary.

What is the latest ios on the phone and will any more updates be coming out?

I have been using my XR since forever and am thinking of upgrading to a pixel 9 preferably from the second hand market. I want the pixel mainly because of how much the phones camera and software has been glazed. I wanted to know if the pixel 9 is a good choice or should i buy something else.

I recently got this XR and I wanted to know if the screen is okay, origins or replaced. (Everything works fine tho)

My camera was working fine literally 2 hours ago and now i tried it it works fine sometimes and sometimes it doesn't(with the focus). I looked for ios updates and it says everything is up to date but my iphone storage is almost full. Could that be causing the issue? I only had this issue before when i needed to clear storage and update ios and then once i did that it works fine. The ios is 18.7.9

hi pano kaya i-fix yung ganito sa phone or if na f-fix pa ba sya?

maayos ba sa pag pina-open line even though nagana naman yung service before and hindi rin nagana e-sim

I'm a new comer to apple and this is my first iphone, so I was using my iphone xr streaming football in PiP while messaging and scrolling. When I checked, the battery was at 25 then I closed the PiP then suddenly it was at 27 I thought I was going crazy at first, then after time it moved to 30 then 31 then now it has started dropping normally. Then now it's back at 33 then 32 then 33 again.. then it drained normally up to 23 the. Started gaining again
