Using iPhone XR in 2026 Feels Weird

Can a phone from 2018 still survive in 2026? 📱 In this video, I’m putting my main phone aside to go back to the legendary iPhone XR. After more than 7 years since its release, I wanted to see if the "King of Battery Life" (from back in the day) can still keep up with the apps and demands of 2026. We’re skipping the boring spec sheet and diving into the real-world experience: • The Ergonomics: Why rounded edges might be better than the modern "boxy" look. • The Display: LCD vs. OLED—is 60Hz still acceptable? • Performance: My Geekbench 6 results and how it handles TikTok/Instagram today. • The Battery: What happens when your battery health hits 78%? If you’re thinking about buying a used iPhone XR as a secondary device, or if you’re still rocking yours, this video is for you!
