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..!

An incident at the gym 💪💪

 Hi to whoever reading this blog sorry that I was missing for a while. You know caught up in work and blah and blah but these are just reasons as I was lazy to write this blog. I suddenly felt I have nothing to share here. But got my senses back so lets jump to the story😁 As I was hitting the gym the other day I saw this tremendous looking girl who had well built muscles better than any girl I have ever seen at the gym before. She looked something like below pic. You can tell by the look of it she has been working really hard to be that healthy and how consistent she must have been to have built that great physique. Whenever she walks into the gym you can feel everyone noticing her because of the great physique she has out of respect and admiration because gym ppl know how difficult it is to build muscles of that stature. Me and my husband while hanging out with one of this friends talked about this and he his friend asked me why dint I go and tell her she looked great. He said sh...

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...

Assumptions about married women

That's me. And I prefer doing whatever I like be it going on trips or hitting the gym or doing my office work or cooking. 1.  Cooking  -  Assumption that women must cook despite having busy careers. Dont get me wrong. Infact, I love trying out new dishes occasionally. But the phone call I had received from my relative the other day made me question this. They were constantly interested in what Im cooking or if I learnt to cook the dal gravy. I faced a similar incident at the gym. Our trainer asked me to cook more protein rich food for my husband and feed him regularly. Though meant in a humorous way, the underlying meaning kind of made me feel sad. The fact that nobody would say this to a husband made me question. Cooking is a life skill. It is a choice. We can always hire someone. We might develop interest in cooking once we start living on our own. We must also stop judging someone for their food choices. When I say I make protein pancakes or wheat semiya or masala oats...
