Should Anyone Still Buy iPhone XS? In this episode, we discuss the 2018 Apple flagship iPhone XS! Share your thoughts, questions, and comments below, and enjoy the content!
I would buy an iPhone X since it's cheaper and basically the same as the XS!
@@jadenramsey7495 agreed but not with the software capabilities
how many more os updates will this phone get
Can I buy iPhone xs max on 33k 256 GB plz replay me bro
I would say a big NO because I had one and it was terrible because I wanted to throw mine out the window and then run the phone over with a car
Amazing Nick-I truly love your videos and informative content-I mean every video is so entertaining and I really appreciate that!-Also the Xs is currently my main phone and the display and performance is so awesome!-Just wish it had better battery life!!-Keep up the great content Nick-Truly do appreciate you!
Honestly love love the video ! I bought the Xs for 1.5k with 256gb Storage hahah when it came out and now my sis has it and works perfectly fine! 4years phone and still a beast
I’ve had the Max since 2018, can’t believe how quickly time flies. The phone’s still amazing tho, apart from the battery and some heating issues.
Same. Been experiencing alot of heating recently. Wasnt there like a month ago but battery is decent for me it lasts a day with medium use
@@RithikaV just change the battery happened to me but that solve my problem
@@RithikaV yeah my battery health is 82% now, still usually lasts me the entire time I’m not at home, so I’ve never had to use a power bank. But the heat is smth that can’t be dealt with, in my case at least. I live in Pakistan and the summers are hot asf here, nothing can be done about that. Even most of the battery health loss I’ve had was during the summer season every other year.
@@whatevezzz same story 😬
I noticed 15.5 has drained a lil bit of my battery and has warmed up my XS Max a bit. The firmware before that was pretty much perfect in terms of battery and heat! That’s why I’ve been waiting forever for a 15.5.1 or the 15.6 update.
There was an apple warehouse clearance sale at my place old new stock it was going for around 385 USD and i missed it i was so heartbroken. Went another time and gotten an 11 pro max instead at 658 USD open box condition means a customer rejected it. Was a very very tiny micro scratch on it barely can see it otherwise it's practically new so I'm quite happy now although i still missed that xs. There is something special about this era of iphones makes me coming back and not feeling missing out on the current ones. If you do get one it's a keeper for sure.
upgraded from a s8+ with lots of cracks to xs and here’s what i have to say, it has an amazing design and even though it was second hand and 92 battery health, it could easily last me a day, and for speed, it’s amazing since i came from an s8+, def recommend!
The XS Max indeed is a great value and looks dope! With the 512 GB SSD it is ready for the next years!
Agreed
Yup. Still using mine
I have 256gb and its still enough for me because of icloud
Same with S9+
Yes 100% looks dope
I really like the XS. It’s a fantastic phone… I take fantastic photos with it and I think I’ll be with it for more 1 or 2 years, depending the updates it will receive
I bought this 3 weeks ago…..😎greatest electronics purchase ever after my MacBook Air m1 which I also bought last year
this phone is honestly still a great buy, i got mine in february and trust me, it’s GREAT !
My friend also got it and it's legit.
My dad has and it stills works fine
Its not worth it now because software update
@@shobhitmohan21 ummm, the 6s is still supported, it's definitely worth the price it's selling for!
@@timenim2284 no it isnt 😂
Thanks Nick! I still love this phone, even I upgraded to 13 Pro. The size is still the best, sweet spot. But unfortunately i needed better battery and newer camera…
Yes! The XS Max/11 Pro Max was my absolute favorite size iPhone! The 13 Pro Max 6.7 with squared edges makes a difference, and it seems a bit too big. But the 13 Pro feels a bit too small sometimes as well. I wish apple could bring back that 6.5 size..
Wow, such an awesome device and it looks beautiful and it's super sleek.😍❤
Thanks for the video Nick ❣️🔥
I have XS Max and battery is great at 92%. Keeps working great and I do not see why I would pay $1300 plus for a 14 Pro Max. My phone is great, thanks for your review.
I am an iPhone XS user and actually bought this phone this year as a used one,I never had an iPhone before and the experience it gives me is kinda awesome,for KZhead videos Spotify Netflix instagram and stuff like that the phone is perfect I also play some games but you get the point
The phone is worth it
hows the batt?
I got mine 2 weeks ago and im lovin it
Using it right now ❤
Bought it the day before yesterday, I've been using the k20 pro and before that the poco f1 so it's a huge jump in quality for me. I love the high resolution oled and the battery isn't as bad as they say, it's actually on par with my 2 year old k20 pro which always got me throughout the day
also have the k20 pro but now its broken thinking ill buy the Xs too.
Still working great 👍🏻
Im still using iPhone XS Max since 3 years and I’m still happy 👍🏼😊
Been watching you for years
Wow love your videos!
Much Love!
I’m still using my XS 64G Gold in 2022! Still a great phone to use👌🏽👌🏽
Salut, au niveau de la batterie on peut faire une journée sans problème si on va en cours?
I’m currently using my XS. I’ve been using it for 1 1/2 years. I’m waiting til September to get 14 pro. Plus by that time it’ll be 2 years. I’ll be ready for an upgrade!! But I love my XS.
I guess it is a win if you buy the iPhone XS as back up iPhone or if this is your first iPhone I've been using the iPhone 12 pro Max for the past 9 months now i like iPhone and android
I have iPhone 11 in black I love i my favorite iPhone I also bought HomePod mini yesterday can you make a video about that thanks Nick
Just got mines yesterday
I currently have the iPhone 13 Pro Alpine Green
I've been using my XS since 2019 and the devise is still solid. I runs smooth, no heating, and the camera is pretty dope. My only complain is its battery life which seems to deplete pretty fast these days.
I just ordered a XS in gold in mint condition for $317. I considered getting an iPhone 14 pro, but ultimately I didn't want to spend $1200 on a phone. So I got the XS for the more compact design and the great OLED screen. I usually go with a few years old flagship iPhone because you still will get a few years of support. Plus I was a huge fan of the 3D touch and wish they didn't get rid of it. I'm hoping everything is as advertised. Because if so I'll be using the XS for 2-3 years until I have to upgrade.
same with me. I'm debating between XS or 13 mini. I prefer smaller phones. SE 3 is nice, but I just don't like the way it feels, coming from a 2016 SE, so my decision is becoming of me. Currently testing XS battery wise to see if I can get a days out of it, cause with SE i do get a day. hardly use the phone so no sense in spending soo much on phone to collect more dust than used
@@dbzownz12345 I had the 13 mini and I was very disappointed with it. I got the XS now and it does get me through a work day. The refurbished one I got was 87 percent on battery health and I do wind up having to use low power mode to get through a work day.
@@crazyfun5150 I've just done a test on both phones. 1 hour of youtube consistantly on LTE cost the XS - 44% battery. 13 mini drained 25% using LTE. Wifi the XS lost roughtly 33% and mini lost 22%. Mind you, XS is 80%BH and mini is 100% BH. Both on ios 15.4/15.5. Dissappointed in the mini. Can only get 4 1/2hrs out a brand new phone on youtube before dead. I watch all these other videos on YT & so confused how they get 6hrs+ on mini. Think I got a lemon
If iPhone 13 Mini is expensive for me then I gonna probably buy iPhone XS 512GB
Still winning for the price to offer ratio! 💯
Yes the xs max is still buttery smooth I purchased one for my mom for about $350 a 64gb replaced the battery and it still can do everyday tasks on it with a breeze with still having iOS support the xs or max is a great phone still
Traded my X for the 11 Kicking myself about it Looking at XS now
It's still a fantastic buy especially when you consider it's still slightly more powerful than the most powerful Android phones, that's how far ahead iphone cpus are.
i got mine last may and still working so smooth, i think it will last for a few years and i will stick with my xs until last ios update.
How's the camera
Bro plz can u make a video on samsung galaxy s 10 lite in 2022 plz. By the way love ur videos bro ❤️🔥
My iphone xs is still in great shape and trust me it is still a great and powerful phone this 2022 and i also have no issue with it
Been watching you for almost 2 years and just noticed your second name is Ackerman
Can we use 4g network in current speed after 5g release. I am from india Does 4g network gets slow down Please reply me🙂
Well I hav the Xs for a few months and I think it’s still worthy for even this year, I think it’s not outdated yet, but I think it will be in a couple of years from now
I had my iPhone XS since 2019. Over the years of owning iPhones, I always felt the urge that I have to upgrade every year and a half. That is until now that I finally said to myself, Apple, I’m done with you as a company being persuasive in telling customers that you have to upgrade your iPhone every other year. I have always been more interested in the software of iOS rather than the physical designs of iPhone. Yes I miss the small hand friendly devices of the iPhone 4 and 5 days, and could I have held onto my iPhone 8 4.7” screen device, but overall iPhones these days have become so alike. Yes, there might be a few differences and features, but otherwise they work the same.
Does your iphone XS has any issues ? Like ghost touch and stuffs
@@zahurulislam5044 fortunately no, because I don’t abuse my device like other people do
@@h5244888 btw im on a tight budget and i have to decide between XR or XS . Or do u have any other recommendations. New on iphone btw Thanks buddy 💪
@@zahurulislam5044 either one would do since they both were released in 2018. You would have to look at the used market for these iPhones. They’ll continue to get software updates for with my guess the next three years. The only difference is the iPhone XR is a 6.1’ display and only a wide angle single lens camera, the iPhone XS on the other hand has a 5.8’ screen, a wide angle and a telephoto camera. Both phones have the A12 Bionic processor.
The best looking iphone ever in my opinion !
I love my iPhone XS
Got mine two days ago and except for battery life, it’s amazing and a great deal
Were did you get it bro ??
I just got this phone from Amazon only cost 200 Uk pounds and I love it brand new condition I got the gold one to replace my iPhone 8 gold I am still going to buy a iPhone se 3rd Generation but I wanted this phone but never could afford it
I am watching on the XS. No complain besides occasional heating during heavy use and battery drain.
How long does your battery last?and what is your battery health
@@viperbot2547 Usually around 4-5 hours of screen on time with 86% battery health. I switched to Samsung a month ago though but that's because I never had a chance to use Android flagships before.
Just buy it cuz it’s the 10 th year anniversary I think Steve is golf clapping in spirit
Time flies really Fast until I almost forgotten this Smartphone. This was mesmerized Smartphone ever Apple launched Well, now is the best time to get this Phone as the price of it is cheaper than when it launched back in 2018
This design is the best iPhone design Apple may relaunch it with a se type of thing
YES.
3D touch is a feature i would really like them to bring back, haptic touch was just a downgrade....
sorry off the topic but im so confused about what colour of iphone 13 do i choose, black(the midnight one) or green please somebody help because i be thinking about it all day and night long and still cant choose
I bought my iPhone XS 256gb version month ago and its a Beast device and very powerful phone
How's the camera
@@koala322 Amazing camera
Hows the battery life
Bought one week ago!
I’ve had my Xs max since it came out and the only thing I regret is that I didn’t get the bigger storage option. But I refuse to buy another iPhone until I stop getting updates. Along side my daily driver z fold 2. It’s a great combo. But yeah don’t let apple fool you apples iOS experience is the same 🤣
what storage do you have on it?
@@adrianwoodhead1084 64 gb xs max. 256gb zfold 2
Mines a max with 512 storage
hm .. so .. does this phone have better battery life then the 12 mini or 13 mini lets say?
I want to.upgrade to xs next year imma.update it next yeat
Yes.
I just bought my phone a week ago from backmarket and I think this phone is great. I had a op7 pro and a pixel 4xl before. I been watching a ton a of speed test compared to some newer iPhones and some other Samsungs and either it’s alittle better or it’s right on the tail of some newer iPhones. When it comes to price there is no comparison it’s worth every penny.
How legit is back market ? I’m thinking of buying from there
I'm still using xs and the battery is okay on daily basis
I got it one XS 256GB
yes i want to buy
Had this phone since launch. And my only problem with this phone is the battery life . Just sharing.
You can change the battery
Currently using its cheaper sibling the Xr..perfect screen size and since my eye can’t take much with OLED screen..LCD is a to go for me..and man its a right decision fir me..although the only thing that i regret is not getting a 256gb version..128gb just seem not enough..
pwm flicker sensitivity?
I’m really enjoying my XR since it’s my first iPhone but man I do miss the vivid colors from an oled screen… I just hope I can stay with this phone for at least 3 years without any issues
I’m still using the same phone that you have but in 512GB It’s very great except the battery
hows the batt?
Can the iphone xs icloud locked be bypassed at home? i search it on yt and everywhere there is heck lot of spam and no way to verify if we can bypass or not.
I always loved that phone but it always got warm
This is the last iPhone without the apple new color pallet that I find horrible, my XS at night aways get the correct skin tone over my girlfriend 11 pro max or my friend 12 mini, the new ones look “greenish”, I am not sure why nobody notice this.
I’m having this from my grandma as a gift
im looking to get the XS right now. the main reason i want to get it is that is records better videos than android and also it has IOS i want to make videos about ios. i dont know if new midrange android phones have better video than the XS thats one of my biggest questions that i cant find the answer to. ive never owned an iphone aswel this would be my first iphone experience. can i hear your opinions?
I owned the XS for 2 years now, I can say it is overall a solid performer, battery is above average (enough for me to not complain or think about it), only 64gb is kinda small for today standards , so get the 256gb and it will be perfect for you
Idk but XR last longer than XS and XS max in terms of battery life. At least based on test I saw.
using one rn
If you can get it for really cheap then get it but a second hand 11pro would be a better option
Yea but the 11 pro is a few hundred bucks more used right now
@@nickackermanchannel 11 pros are like $450-$500 while Xs are like $300-$350 thats like a $150 difference tbh.
@@fijiwill2237 lol thats for the i phone 11 by itself. A used one in a condition you would want is like 570
Not me
i would say xs still very solid phone, 👍🏻
YES it is not on the topic BUT I will say in in the mosy politely way possible : first of all, I like your content very much! always clear information with many quorkes and so on. BUT! nick my man... your nails... it's not the first time when I see this in one of your videos. and I understand very clearly that it can be many reasons and circumstances about this. but still, you're creating content which is taken very near to your hands and any detail can be seen. and seeing those nails is not the best sight... I mean... I really don't want to be rude... it's just not suitable at least for the type of content you are creating. if you we're filming yourself from two meters and nothing was noticeable that would have been a totally different story. it just comes out and can't be ignored by most of people I would say. of course it will be those who will start to blame me for a thousand reasons of why I said all these and so on. BUT again : I have respect towards you and I really like what you are doing with your channel. this detail might do some damage to the overall quality of the videos. so... hope you read this and you'll do something about it. no offense, no intention of nothing bad. but the exact opposite.
Does anyone know the story of the iPhone 4 leaked by Gizmodo?
@L. G. Cause I'm making a video on that topic, and I wanna get people's advice and their point of view in it!
Xs still rocking❤
I agree with you still works very well :)
How its in the perfect condition 😃
If you’re not a tech nerd and barely use your phone, then it’s a great buy. Otherwise, it’s getting pretty old.
i found an iPhone XS for 200 bucks on back market
One People That I Know, And Knows Me Still Has The XS As Well!
Please answer what iphone will I choose iphone 11 128 gb or iphone xs max 256gb. Im a average user.
Depends on what you’re looking for, both or great phones but with the max you’ll get more storage, a bigger screen, an amoled panel, stainless steel build (more premium), an extra GB of RAM and a telephoto lens. With the 11 you’re getting a slightly improved processor (the difference is negligible irl), a wide camera and a newer body.
@@whatevezzz no the iPhone 11 series all have 4GB of RAM so the 11 has better performance all around
can u tell me which is better iphone xs or iphone xr i dont know which i shoud buy
Xs is way better. Oled display, and better camera. That 1x zoom with 4k 30 is what makes KZhead videos look the way they do.💯 especially when your looking into the camera talking.
I still use my xs max and I’m sure I’ll be changing now even more due to economic conditions in my country. What I wanted to see was how well it ran in iOS 16 so please give us that video. Im not so keen on installing beta version now. Just waiting for official release but hey that’s why you’re here isn’t it lol
My rule of thumb is: if the economic conditions are about to change for the worst-buy the newest and best iPhone you can right now. Because it’ll last longer in the long run since smartphones are THE tools to the world right now! The XS Max has easily 2 more years of smooth experience due to the overpowered A12 Bionic chip!
@@Johnnygga iPhones are ridiculously expensive in my country trust me lol maybe wait another two years and then buy an iPhone 13?
I've been an android user for ten years but I'm switching to apple because of the software and security updates apple provides its customers that are holding onto older iphones. I'm getting sick of android, google, samsung etc.
This phone was a sleeper hit, Everyone forgot about it.
Yup people forget about it similar to the iPhone 12 Pro
Revisit the standard iPhone 11 Pro next. People also forget about that as well.
@@123theprodigy5 nah the 11 pro wasn’t forgotten because of the triple camera and huge battery jump. The XS generation was the forgotten one, just like the 12 pro Gen.
Iphone xs cutie
I use 13 Mini but i thing to downgrade on XS
It does run 5G
Game killer
If you find this phone brand new for no more than 400$ then yes it is definitely worth it.
Samsung A70 or xs which one is better
For battery a70, for everything else xs
Should I get and iPhone x or xsmax?
Max
Which is better camera, iphone xs or XR?
XS has a better camera. XS even have a better camera than 11.
@@StonezyEugeneTV no only display is better than 11 not the camera
iPhone is just built to last
i'm really debated if buying one of these would be a deal or not. I have a broken iphone 7 that lasted for around 3 years now, and i need a new iphone on a budget. I'm not that kind of person that is willing to spend 700 and up on a new phone ; I just use it with the basics (whatsapp, camera,phone, spotify, mails and thats it) and the Iphone XS is one of my choiches but there are two big IFs: -The battery -Software updates i don't really know how long the phone will last in general with software updates (i hope until 2025). So is it worth it or not?
Buy a used iPhone 11 or 11 pro Or if you can, buy a 12 mini.
Or at best as for now upgrade to the 12
Idk why , but the X had a better feeling always lol
Iphone 11 Pro max is #1 phone in the world to date.
iPhone XS⚫ beeline
