Honest view on my iPhone XR


 

I previously owned a moto g6 for the past two years and recently I started seeing flicker in the phone which was like lightning so I decided to get a new one. 
I was confused because I dint want to spend much and want to use the same phone for a long time but people who know me will know how bad I'm with smartphones as I lost two phones to water damage before moto g6 out of which one is oneplus3 and I was heart broken after that and decide to spend not more than 10k on a phone.

Why I got an iPhone?

I wanted a phone which can last for a longtime and have updates. I'm currently working as an iOS dev so an iPhone would be better.
I was left with two choices either to get a 20k android phone for better specs which can last long or spend little more and buy an iPhone because there was flipkart sale (iPhone SE 2020 was around 27k-30k).
But the problem is SE dint have a good battery and I finally decided to get iPhone XR which was 40k and after applying credit card discounts and exchanging my previous phone I got it for around 34k. 

How I feel after using this?

The phone looks classy and is very beautiful. It feels soo smooth and has a lot of easy to use gestures which is very helpful while ur switching between apps. It is pretty fast and has good performance. I installed a lot of games to play since its super fast and never lags.

 

Troubles I face?
BATTERY

I personally connect my laptop with mobile hotspot and work and this drains my battery. This phone is a bad choice if you use hotspot a lot. Since its secure, transferring data can sometimes be little trouble. If you use two sim cards you shouldn’t buy it. I find battery as a big issue because I used to charge my fast charging android phone two days once even after using hotspot for a entire day but in iPhone I have to charge it twice a day.

Worth the money?

I think its not bad for the money I spent but I still think if you don’t want this iOS environment then android is much better when it comes to battery. If it costs more than this honestly I don't think its worthy to put that much money because if SE had a battery just like XR I would have gladly got that for lesser money. 

Now what?
I got a dongle recently and now my phones better and battery lasts as I don't rely on hotspot. Let’s see what happens. I always have second thoughts if I like it or not because sometimes I miss my previous phone.

    It's always sad to see people burn their fingers with Apple products though..!

I switched my work organization😉

First of all thank you for coming here to read my blogs. I haven't posted for a long time now and believe I will be more consistent going forward.  I joined a new organization 2 days back and it feels like the best decision I have taken in a while. I believe we must all keep looking for growth in all aspects of life. Be it career or health or emotional growth. Sometimes you get stuck in a loop of doing things and no matter how much you work hard you are never appreciated or more problems arise. A similar situation happened to me in life where I felt no amount of work is getting me out of this loop.  I had some really crappy work surrounded by tough people to handle. When I decided to switch my job for monetary and other reasons it was very hard to get any interview calls.  The key here is to keep believing. I never believed because market is bad and stuff but my husband kept constantly applying to jobs on my behalf. I had some mental breakdowns due to the work wherein I h...

Dealing with Anger😈

Being angry is something that I do most of the time especially on my family because I never react at work or anywhere else as much as I feel free to do it at home. The main victim of my anger is my younger sister. It’s also true that she irritates me most of the time but she is kind of curious of things I do and tries to lookout to me to help her and I just scream and send her away. We also tend to do it with our mom’s more frequently. She asks us if we had lunch or dinner and we end up screaming at her asking her not to disturb because we are too busy in something which might not be that important than eating on time. Always think for a minute before you scream or be rude to someone because it’s not their fault to come and talk to you so that you show your frustration on them. Relax and enjoy things while doing them because having a cool mind gets the best out of you in any situation rather than a panicking person.

Read this if you feel sick and unwell all the time..

  This post is just to change your narrative on health if you have been feeling sick or being called a sick person all the time. I would like to explain this using my life story. I have been the most adventure loving fun person I know throughout my life but I stopped believing this narrative and started feeling sick and lazy and it all started during the onset of covid. If you would have known me before this phase you would have rarely seen me sick. I would have cried a few times because of teen life crisis but it had nothing to do with my health. Even on family trips to hills I have never felt nauseated. During the 8 months of being a fresher I had lot of freedom and money to buy and eat things I want and there were times I used to eat 2 small size pizzas around 10:30 pm. It dint do anything to me but the results showed up during locked down where I gained around 8 kgs. I had work for the entire day during this fresher phase and my onset of frequent headaches started. This is when...
