Review on Renewed Blue AT&T Apple iPhone XR, 64GB - US Version by Minoru Taguchi ᠌

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Matches the description completely, very satisfied.

I purchased this to replace my 2.5-year-old, 128GB iPhone 7+. Choose from XS MAX and XR. Battery life ranks among my top priorities, followed by cost, a good camera, and speed. I read the reviews and spun the iPhone XR and XS MAX in my hands; they horrified me with the appalling quality and resolution of the XR display. However, after a live comparison, I found that the difference in the quality of the display was not particularly noticeable to me. The display is excellent, and the price is $20,000 less. This ended up serving as the primary deciding factor. For $57,000, I bought an American A1984. As other XR owners have complained in the reviews, it works great on our networks and doesn't lose much connection. Perhaps this is a feature of the American version. Although 3D touch is absent, it was neither comfortable nor necessary in versions 7+. It works noticeably faster 7+, and performance is just fire. By IOS standards, the phone is superb in terms of features and price.

Pros
  • Big screen; working on it does not weary the eyes. Face id is completely functional; I had not anticipated that it would be that convenient; I had anticipated problems. I just needed two hours to grasp gesture control, and now I attempt to utilize gestures on my second phone (a Xiaomi) on occasion out of habit). I have 1.5 days' worth of battery life. The mobile network, WiFi, and Internet all function properly. The camera is excellent and seems to operate more effectively than on my previous iPhone 7+. All programs run quickly on the phone. The cost is nearly $20,000 less than that of the iPhone XS MAX, which has comparable memory.
Cons
  • Absence of wireless/fast charging included with the phone and lack of optical zoom on the camera (as opposed to 7/8+ and XS). For 2022, the price is still high. From above, "Bangs" doesn't aggravate me all that much, but I suppose I'll get used to it.
