Review on Renewed Apple iPhone XR ๐Ÿ“ฑ - US Version 64GB Coral - AT&T by Bali Benkgonk แ Œ

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Nice price, good quality.

This is my first Apple phone since I wanted to give the brand a try. On the whole, I'm satisfied, albeit there are a few caveats. The phone's menu is too complicated for my parents to use, therefore I wouldn't suggest it to them. To be honest, I don't care that there is very little room for personalization in the menu; I'm perfectly content with the default settings. I need to know that this phone will always connect to the internet and run the apps I need. There were devices ranging from the high-end Pixel and Galaxy models to the homeless brands. Although I've never been a fan of how quickly tech firms replace their customers' devices (with the exception of Google's Pixel), I've finally given in and bought an iPhone, with the optimistic expectation that it will serve me well for the next two to three years. After almost a year of use, including the usual post-Android pain, I can say that I am happy with this device. My eyes are sensitive to amoled matrices, so this is one of the few flagship products with an ips display, which is really significant to me. I've left truetone and auto brightness on this device, despite the fact that I always disable the latter on Android and find it useful only on the iPhone, where it nets me a whole five points. Little things like this are what shape people's opinions about the gadget. The facial ID and the wallet were features I used frequently; they were quite helpful and not dependent on Android.

Pros
  • Nice camera for both stills and films, a responsive touchscreen, and superb autonomy. I picked up a yellow phone because I enjoy the pop of color it provides. Moisture resistance is a feature I appreciate (during the pandemic, my phone is washed with soap). Superb quality of sound from both wired and wireless sources. I enjoy having complete control over my time.
Cons
  • Heavy. The frames are very large, but they don't get in the way. After using an android, you will find the OS's restrictiveness to be highly irritating. Like many Windows Phones, the menu is a bit of a mystery to new users. Both YouTube and the Chrome web browser are malfunctioning. A lot of apps are less well suited to the system's safari than they are to Android (banking applications, shopping applications .). The system seems slow when compared to Android. The gesture functionality in Android is more refined and user-friendly. It's disappointing that the company seems reluctant to install a second SIM card. First oleophobic coating is subpar (this is even before I started washing the phone under running water). It doesn't have the weight or feel of a high-end device; even my prior budget brand with a ceramic body costing 15k seemed more expensive and premium in comparison.
