I badly need my iphone xs but the touch pad is not working anymore im worried it got drained and battry will get worst.anyone here in the Phils. that can recommend an honest and worthy repair? Im an online seller and all impt stuffs were on this ip. Thanks for ur help

My iPhone XS Max has recently started experiencing some charging issues that started about 2 weeks ago and only recurred yesterday. When I charge it, whether it's plugged to the wall using an original Apple power adapter or a new Xiaomi powerbank, it stays stuck at whatever it's current battery level% is and doesn't go up. It does go down after some time. But it only starts charging properly after I restart it.

The IOS is 18.3 and it's battery health is at 84%. I also have Optimized Battery Charging available.

It worries me quite a bit because I only got this phone last year, and until it's first incident and yesterday, it had been working smooth as butter.

how much would an iphone xs max 512gb unlocked be worth now? im looking to get one because it is the oldest phone with 512gb

I'm considering of switching from android to ios and I have a tight budget, the phones I could find under my budget is xsmax and note 20 ultra but samsung phones are known to have dotted screens and pink lines so I'm leaning more towards the XS Max.

my question is, is it possible to daily xs max in 2026?

edit: the xs max I'm finding are below 85 battery health

I had a Xs Max given to me, it had a password. I plugged it in and tryed to restore it, it keeps popping up with this error

Hello guys, i need to do a battery on my xs max, but i dont know where to buy a good replacement or which model of replacement is good, please let me know in the comments, also i need to buy it today so if anyone can help right now i would be gratefull.

(Keep in mind that im from Poland so I wont be able to buy anything from US. But a good advice is welcome)

Thank you 😁

I am about to buy this rarity, it's in great condition

Hey guys.

I have been using this phone for almost 8 years. Battery is 73% health and all of the phone parts are genuine from the beginning.

Currently on ios 17..7.2 and I brought it to the genuine apple store where they told me that when they will change the battery the software will automaticaly upgrade to 18.7.9 and all data will be removed in order for the software to recognize the battery as "Genuine part".

Please tell me is it worth it to buy new original battery for ~ $110 cause I know it is very old phone and lately I am starting to have some issues with the screen when low battery and big overheating (especially in summer now).

Hello, I truly hope this doesn’t go against this subreddit rules. I’ve reviewed them and am selling an iPhone XS Max in great condition.

Above all, it’s running iOS 14.6 which I’m told is highly sought after. It can update to iOS 18 but I get the feeling iOS 14.6 would be a major selling point.

I’ve seen how much beat up, worn iPhone XS Max’ running iOS 18 go for.

This one comes with the original pink sand OEM Apple silicone case as well.

Make me an offer, can send USPS Priority Mail and payment done via CashApp or Venmo.

Any questions please ask. I have no use for this iPhone anyone since I upgraded a few years ago and this iPhone XS Max has just been safely and carefully stored in my desk drawer, occasionally playing music. It’s works great and honestly, feels much better in the hand to hold than my newer iPhone 16.

Make me an offer, DM me. Obviously Reddit accounts with a legitimate history and if you’re legit I’ll take you more seriously as opposed to the ocean of scammers out there. Thanks!

I can send more pictures if need be.

I have 99% BH right now which was changed from apple authorised store in April (check the 3rd image) and its giving me minimum 6hrs SOT but maximum I managed to get is 7.5hrs which shown in images without heavy tasks. Obviously, it wouldn’t be possible without power saving mode turned on constantly. I charge it maximum once a day. Would like to hear your experiences if you have one

With all the free games I’ve claimed through the App Store and Epic Games Store and the ability to run emulators on iPhone, it was right on time for me to get a controller.

Last week the flea market gods blessed me with a deal of a brand new GameVice Flex controller for €25. I never heard of this brand and just learned they have silently phased themselves out of the market, glad I could catch one.

It’s a Lightning-connected controller with pass-through charging, 3,5mm headphone jack, Xbox button layout and full trigger functionality.

So happy!

I recently took my XS Max out of the vault of memories and loaded it, I used it during the day as a form of recreation, listening to music and watching reels, I’m really surprised by what the iOS operating system can do on a phone from almost 9 years ago. The condition of the battery is absurdly damaged (74%) and I still can stand 4 hours with the screen on.

Hello everyone! To all current users of Xs Max, how is it holding up so far and what you can say about using nowadays?

Do you also agree this is still the best looking iPhone after all those years (especially in this colour)?

(FYI, I bought it this year in ideal condition 256GB with full package and 81% BH. Then changed the battery at authorised store for 100$. Btw, idm about IOS support as long as basic apps are working🤷‍♂️).

Feel free to share your experiences, feelings and opinions of this smartphone.

I have a XS max Iphone with me, how can I keep it intact for as long as possible?

Got it for about 90$, only bad thing is the camera glass is kinda broken, but doesnt affect anything, also im not sure if the front speaker works (sadly i didnt test it while buying it). Other than that, the phone is perfect, literally, not a single scratch in the body after all this years, not even the screen.

Also iOS 15.7.1, should I update?

Was it a good deal for youll? here fs and since its just to add to the collection i dont mind the problems.

Hey! I’m currently on iOS 15.6.1 and honestly I’m pretty happy with it. I know there are a lot of apps I can’t install anymore because they require newer iOS versions, but besides that I have no bugs, no lag, no battery issues, nothing really bothering me.

Recently I got a notification from Apple recommending that I update for better security. Now I’m wondering if I should actually do it.

I’m mostly worried about smoothness and security. For people who updated from iOS 15 to iOS 18, did your phone stay smooth and stable? Did you notice any slowdown, lag, or battery drain? And is the security improvement worth updating for?

Thanks.

Is $200 for a front and back and battery replacement worth fixing?

I cracked my screen and wasn’t planning on getting a phone atm

I’m looking at a iPhone SE 3rd generation 64 gb for $140 also with a clean imei

also looking at an iPhone 14 on Amazon renew for $330

Thanks!

My Silver iPhone XS Max (256GB) has served me well the last 3 years from endless memories (don’t worry, the screen protector is old and cracked up), the improvement of the quality of my photos after experiencing the iPhone 7, the sleekness of the design that remains timeless and overall the beauty of what I treasured in this smartphone, I’ve gone back to a truly small design, one thing about the max is when I typed fast I often still made some mistakes as I was so used to the small form factors phones, I went for a 13 mini for a steal, 99% capacity, no scratches and 256GB for $390, the battery isn’t as great but it’s a odd upgrade to go from a 6.5 inch display to a 5.4 inch, I replaced the XS Max battery myself as I’ve worked on phones before and cleant up the dust, I hope the new home it finds will enjoy it as much as I have :)
