r/iPhoneXS

I got mine from a tech friend i have in a public market. Prestine condition and it was for USD equivalent 120 bucks. And ohh boy i thought i was lucky because it was a 256gb model and i joined this subreddit after and one thing i noticed is that a lot of the people i saw that just got one also had a 256gb model for around the same price.

does anyone have iphone xs lying around them i am thinking to get it from u if u have it in working condition. when that phone released i was too young but i want to experience this masterpeice before it goes fully out of app support. if was like the peak apple phone ever released and a beauty peice

So, I just bought this phone to use as a secondary/anti-brainrot phone, and because it looks stunning, of course.

The seller told me it should be running iOS 18.7.9, but when I got it, I noticed it was actually still on iOS 15.1. I’ve also discovered that a few apps are no longer supported on iOS 15.

That said, since this won’t be my main phone, I haven’t really found any apps that I really need that aren’t supported.

So my question is: are there still any advantages to upgrading to iOS 18.7.9? I’ve also heard that upgrading to a newer iOS version can lead to faster battery drain or worse performance.

Would you recommend updating it, or would it make more sense to keep it on iOS 15.1 given that I’m specifically using it as an anti-brainrot/secondary phone?
