iPhone 15 vs iPhone XR Speed Test After 5 Years of the iPhone XR being on the market! In this speed test, both iPhones are running iOS 17.2 and in this video, we will run them through their paces! Share your thoughts and which one you would pick down below! Enjoy the video :)
@@nickackermanchannel upgraded to the 15 from the xr. Feels like a pro model with the amoled screen and dynamic island. Apps launch instantly and the camera is amazing. I feel like it charges much faster as well, I use a 20w anker charger. I prefer the 60hz display because of the increased battery life.
Sadly my xr starts to show its age. Small freeze every now and than, network issues from time to time, Keyboard delay and so on. It served me well during its life and I have no complaints giving the fact that an android would be mostly a brick after so many years and so many updates.

About android: it's really true for the cheap androids but not true for flagships as iphones. My pixel 3a (not a flagship but a middle-range phone) was released in 2019 and I bought it used in 2021 -- still running smooth.
Great video as always Nick. I am still sticking with my Galaxy S20 FE, which I got in June 2021 and its still going strong. Keep up with the great content as always.
The XR is impressive being a 5 year old phone. I definitely think if the 6s was able to get 7 years of updates the XR could too with the a12 chip still loading things up quickly. Hopefully it will at least get iOS 18 because it's amazing how capable the XR still is in very late 2023.
I use both XR just for calls and texts and the 15 plus for All apps and games and filming purposes… XR is lasting me 3 4 days in battery at 81% battery health but like I say it only gets picked up when someone calls me or texts
Watching it from XR this phone is amazing still in 2024 still runs buttery smooth tho this is my 1st iphone but according to how old Xr is I think it’s still great to use very great phone worth it!! For normal use and mid level gaming not extreme level
Been using the XR til now, I love the phone since it launched. Great battery life and function. But for me it does tend to overheat when doing workand studying or using the camera. So ho’s the heating on the iphone 15? Hoping to use the XR for as long as possible
Great video! Props to you, brother, for creating content that caters to the everyday person, emphasizing that the latest tech isn't necessary if it doesn't fit the budget. Iphones are made to last for a very long time and they’re all blazing fast and have great cameras with little difference as the years pass.
1:05 about bypassing a lock screen - im not sure about regular 15s but on my 15 pro you don’t have to tap a screen and then swipe up, you can just swipe up with a locked screen and it seems faster :))
Hey Nick, i suggest downloading the game Mobile Legends for speed testing. Don’t need to play the game, just show the loading screen for both phones. The loading time is minimal yet can show clearly the speed difference between two phones, which makes it great for testing👍
Loved my XR but upgraded to the 15 Plus. The slowest thing that bugs me on the 15 is saving photos - maybe that because of the larger file sizes. I often switch the HEIF Max option on/off depending on the shot. I easily get 2+ days of battery life when not tracking stuff on Strava - just a little better than the XR.
@@portman8909 A galaxy s10 is still better than these iphones, they are more powerful and with better cameras (several) and better fast charging, more powerful 855 Snapdragon processors, I don't know what you say haha.
@@rudolfgamer88 They both work, but the S9 has not received updates for a long time. Apple devices have been running to the latest version for a long time.
@@portman8909 bad take. My dad's Android (not even 200 bucks) that's like 6 years old and 4 years in use still works like new. Either you used a really random garbage phone or you're just trying to clown Android without knowing a single thing.
Lol I just have the same exact phones on your video😊😊! The orange XR & the light green iphone15 . I upgraded after 5 years bought day before yesterday!!! But I must admit XR is a beast. Served me well😎
I'm happy with my XR until apple stops supporting it, it does everything I need to do just fine. The side by side comparisons really show just how small the upgrades really are year to year...
Amazing most people think this is video is not necessary but for us it very important since we don’t have the budget most people have i am currently using an 8 plus am upgrading to xr this year then 11 or 12 next year
Don’t worry about what those people think! I fully understand where you’re coming from and that’s why I occasionally throw in the old iPhones because not everyone is buying the latest! Thanks for your comment! The 12 should set you up for quite a bit longer
Wanted to finally upgrade from xr, but after ios 17.4 phone became faster 😂 Now i don’t know if it worth it. I just hate that feeling like i’m not getting any new experience from a new phone. XR is not even lagging anymore. The only thing that bothers me is heat, but i tried iphone 14 and its almost the same in terms of temps, guess its lifelong iphone issue
This is why I love Apple. You can stick with an amazing phone for five to six years and actually save money. But please, Apple, just give us a decent clipboard. iOS clipboard is a joke.
you don't have to get 15 pro max to get the best performance for gaming. 15 plus is a better choice for a lower price which performance is about the same as 15 pro or 15 pro max..
Here is an answer, why i am still with my xr. Because iphone 15 has only upgraded camera compared to my xr, it still doesn’t have 120 hhz and the usb c is the same speed as lightning, so there is no reason to upgrade
When it's about consistency and power no one can match apple the way iphone xr is performing after 5 years am sure no android phone can perform this well
@@wheelyflac Without updates, you will live longer and maintain more performance, but Apple gives the primary user full support, and if a second user sells it, he will receive application support from two to five years, depending on the application.
I think that's kinda shame that iphone 15 still in 60hz the most expensive smart phone with 60hz, the promotion is a deal we're talking about the deffrences between 60 and 120hz that's massive I'll be a lil more satisfied with 90hz but 60hz "sigh" in not buying it probably.
Yeah that’s the only thing that made me hesitant in buying the iPhone 14 over the Samsung S23. I don’t regret it, but I know the experience would be way better on 120 or 90hz.
This is why Apple is annoying! 20-30% increment in CPU performance almost every year but the difference in iOS’s performance is marginal! If that is the case then no one news a new more powerful chip!!
Why do these speed test I mean cmon it's obvious that the iphone 15 gonna be faster then the xr I mean it is the newest phone it has a faster processor I mean the xr came out in 2018
Idk about you, but there are people who like to see the phone they're using going against an obviously more powerful phone. It's driven by either pure curiosity or the fact that they are considering to upgrade their device and want to see what they'll be getting. Your comment is rather insignificant.

I just ordered the 15 today. My XR has been getting hot lately while charging, I took that as a sign 😂
Excellent real world test. Thanks! I think for now I will stick with my XR. I just can’t see dishing out $$$$ for the 15.
Writing from the XR. Stil using it, plan to keeping it maybe another one year.
Just watching from my XR 2018. ❤

How do you still have the old iPhone XR wallpapers I can’t get access bc I’m on iOS 17 and I’m using it on my iPhone XR please help 😢
You can search up iPhone XR wallpaper and put the color of your phone on google and it should pop up. That’s what I did for my mines.
It's really great to see that how well the iphone xr is holding up till date
Yup for the base model of that year it held up very well!

Unlike androids that get laggy after 2 years.

Better battery better processor getting more software updates better display💀
iam buying the iphone xr iam si exited
if wasn't for the depreciation value through the time, i would still have my iphone 7 without any problems.
I have XR , and i want to upgrade , so what do you think is more valuable Iphone 13 promax or regular 15 ?
Iphone 15
13 pro max has better battery and 120hz pro motion display
13 pro max is a beast
Do a battery test
XR better for me
When it's about consistency and power no one can match apple the way iphone xr is performing after 5 years am sure no android phone can perform this well
I think the 60hz was a huge mistake, easily could have been the time to upgrade to 120hz on the base iphones.
There are Pro versions + it may be the regular iPhone 17 for 90 or 120
@@farisalhusain7079regular iphone 17 will get 120hz
Base should be 90 to differentiate from the pros

Yes these comparisons r useless
No people wanna see how much faster. Has apple actually made it worth upgrading. Not if it's faster cause as you said it's obvious.
This is just to show how your older phone is doing clearly it’s not meant to actually be a RACE 😂
