Sold my iPi7+ and wanted to get a replacement. Naturally thought I would get the XS Max. But when I held it in hand, I was surprised by how much more XS Max weighed compared to 7+. Ended up getting XS.

Yes the Max is heavy af.

I've used XR for 7 months now and really love it even though I was using the 2 camera 8 Plus before that. But I have one problem, the phone will do a soft reset (spinning wheel/gear) randomly, average once a week. It used to happen like once a month initially so I ignore it, but recently it has become more frequent. Wonder if anyone faces the same issue. Still on a pending case with Apple Support on it.

Hi, I have the same issue with my XR.. have you gotten solution from Apple yet?

Not yet...they suggesting for me to backup my phone than refresh it and set it up as new and use it for a few days to see if the problem comes back.

Says trying to determine is it hardware or software issues.

Told them I will do it maybe on a weekend as weekday I am too dependent on my phone.

Think my phone worse than you and went Into coma. For no reason, black, no response when tap and whole day no whatsapp. Then I realized it seemed to be powered off. But then I tried to power on also cannot. Tried so many times and thought phone dead already. Went to Google and suggestion is do hard reset. Tried it and finally revived. Wanted to send to Apple center but what can they really do? It's not like I can replicate this problem to show them it's a genuine case of failure - duno software or hardware

Another incident is the screen is on but when I swipe the screen to unlock, it doesn't response at all. Sth like the swipe spoil already, nothing responded to my touch. Too many problems on this phone.

Added on to wifi and 4g connection issues, this iphone xr really v lousy. I always thought iphone no lag, but I can still find some lag here and there...

For those who have no issue, good for u. But once you have the above issues as me, you will understand my frustration already

Wair until it’s using Qualcomm lor in 2020 5g or else jjR go back to anddod using Qualcomm and noting else

It’s known the 2018 Iphone got some issue with its cellular or wifi due to apple use a new layout which apple claim is improve but in end flop
Maybe too advance or a flop design

As this happen to some abs not all
If happen to u then is too bad like I used to use Samsung I got bad use too end I quit samsung and go apple
While I don’t own a 2018 iphone I can’t comment I own a older iphone even those on intel cell chip it’s not much issue on wifi and 4g

Since u got so much issue just get Qualcomm chip phone lor from hk samsung or xiaomi as noT all using Qualcomm after Sony left and lg cmi
Thiong brand not all on Qualcomm beside xiaomi or maybe OnePlus

Singtel wifi mesh is not good. Range not as good as my mesh.
I was given 3 mesh, and I only use 2 and it can cover my whole house

It costs about $600 for all 3 mesh

IPhone software support is good, at least your older phone still have updates.
