Review on Unlocked Refurbished Apple iPhone ๐Ÿ’ป XR (64GB, Black) - US Version by Eunu Cha แ Œ

Revainrating 4 out of 5

I am completely satisfied, item complies with description.

I wanted to try a phone from Apple, this is my first phone of this brand. Overall, I'm happy with a few exceptions. I would definitely not recommend this phone to my parents, the menu there is not at all intuitive. There are practically no options for customizing the menu, I donโ€™t care, I use what is out of the box. It is important for me that the phone works stably and performs the functions that it has. There were devices of different brands from the premium type of pixels and galaxy to homeless brands. I always didnโ€™t like the fact that companies slaughter their users for 2 years (except for the pixel), so I decided to take an iPhone, I hope that I will use it for 2-3 years without problems. Now I have been using it for almost a year, I have gone through all the stages of suffering after the android, now this is my main device and I am generally satisfied with the device. This is probably now one of the few flagship devices with an ips display, this is important for me, since my eyes are sensitive to amoled matrices. With this device, I left both truetone and auto brightness, with android I always turned off auto-brightness, but on an iPhone it works for 5 points. It is on such trifles that the attitude to the device is formed. I really liked the face ID and wallet, it's very convenient, it's not on android.

Pros
  • Gorgeous touch screen, excellent autonomy, I like the camera, both photos and videos. I like the bright colors, I took a yellow phone. I like moisture resistance (during the pandemic, my phone is washed with soap). Great sound from speakers and bluetooth. I really like autonomy.
Cons
  • Heavy. Frames are large, but not annoying. The closeness of the operating system is very infuriating after androids. The menu is not intuitive, somewhat reminiscent of phones on Windows Phone. Youtube and google chrome browser are not working well. The system imposes its own safari, many applications are worse adapted than on android (banking applications, shopping applications .). Compared to android, there is a feeling of system slowness. Android gestures are better implemented and easier to use. Well, the company's reluctance to put a second SIM card is depressing. Out of the box, a bad oleophobic coating (this is even before I started washing the phone under running water). It doesn't feel like a premium phone, even my previous bum brand with a ceramic body for 15k felt much more expensive and felt more premium, and it worked noticeably faster.
