Review on πŸ“± Renewed Apple iPhone XR US Version 64GB Red for AT&T Network by Kenta Omura

Revainrating 4 out of 5

I am satisfied with everything, the product corresponds to the description.

This is my first Apple phone, and I've always wanted to try one. I'm content overall, with a few outliers. The menu on this phone is rather confusing, thus I would never suggest it to my parents. I don't care that there are essentially no options for modifying the menu because I just use what is provided out of the box. For me, it's crucial that the phone operates reliably and fulfills its intended functions. Several brands of devices were available, ranging from pricey Pixel and Galaxy models to affordable brands. I always disliked it when corporations killed off their customers after 2 years (with the exception of the pixel), therefore I chose to buy an iPhone in the hopes that I will be able to use it trouble-free for 2-3 years. After experiencing every stage of pain following the switch to Android, I have now been using it for almost a year. This is now my primary device, and I am generally happy with it. Given that my eyes are sensitive to amoled matrices, this is likely one of the few flagship devices with an IPS display today. While I normally switched off auto-brightness on Android devices, I left both truetone and auto-brightness on this device, and it worked for 5 points. Those trivialities are what shape people's attitudes about technology. I found the face ID and wallet to be quite useful, however they are not available on Android.

Pros
  • Beautiful touch screen, great autonomy, and I enjoy the camera's photographs and movies. I took a yellow phone since I appreciate the vivid colors. Moisture resistance is nice (during the pandemic, my phone is washed with soap). Bluetooth and speaker sound is excellent. I adore independence.
Cons
  • Heavy. Although huge, frames are not bothersome. After androids, the operating system's proximity is quite annoying. The menu is difficult to use and partly resembles Windows Phone phones. The Google Chrome browser and YouTube do not function properly. The system forces its own safari, and many apps are less optimized than they are on Android (banking applications, shopping applications .). There is a sense of system slowness when compared to Android. Android gestures are more user-friendly and better implemented. It's sad that the company is reluctant to install a second SIM card. a poor oleophobic coating right out of the package (this is even before I started washing the phone under running water). It doesn't feel like a high-end phone; even my last bum brand, which cost 15k and had a ceramic body, felt significantly more expensive and high-end, and it operated noticeably faster.
