FAQs
Is this iPhone XR brand new?
No, this is a refurbished Apple iPhone XR. It has been restored to full working order and comes with a 12-month warranty.
What is included with the phone?
The package includes the SIM-free iPhone XR 64GB Mobile Phone (White), a power cable, and a 12-month warranty.
What iOS version does it run?
The iPhone XR ships with an iOS version from its manufacturing period, but it can be updated to the latest compatible iOS version through `Settings > General > Software Update`.
Is the iPhone XR waterproof?
The iPhone XR was originally rated IP67 for splash, water, and dust resistance, meaning it can withstand submersion up to 1 meter for 30 minutes. However, for refurbished devices, water resistance cannot be guaranteed, so it's advisable to avoid intentional water exposure.

How long will this phone receive software updates?
Apple typically provides iOS updates for its devices for about 5-7 years from release. While the iPhone XR will continue to receive updates for several years, it will eventually reach an end-of-life for major iOS versions, though security updates may continue longer.
What does the 12-month warranty cover?
The 12-month warranty typically covers manufacturing defects and functional issues not caused by accidental damage or misuse. Specific details should be outlined in the warranty documentation provided with your purchase.
Troubleshooting
iPhone won't turn on or respond
Ensure the phone is charged by connecting it to a power source with the included power cable for at least 30 minutes. If it still doesn't respond, perform a force restart: quickly press and release the `Volume Up` button, then quickly press and release the `Volume Down` button, then press and hold the `Side button` until you see the Apple logo.
Apps are slow or crashing
First, ensure all your apps are updated to their latest versions via the App Store. If the issue persists, try freeing up storage space on your device. You can also try uninstalling and reinstalling the problematic app. A full iPhone restart can also resolve temporary software glitches.
Battery drains quickly
Check your battery health in `Settings > Battery > Battery Health`. If it's significantly degraded, it might impact performance. You can also review `Battery Usage` in `Settings > Battery` to identify apps consuming the most power and limit their background activity or notifications. Reduce screen brightness and disable unnecessary location services or push email for better battery life.
Poor cellular or Wi-Fi connectivity
Toggle `Airplane Mode` on and off in `Control Center` or `Settings`. For Wi-Fi, try forgetting the network and reconnecting. For cellular issues, ensure your SIM card is properly inserted. If problems persist, reset `Network Settings` (`Settings > General > Transfer or Reset iPhone > Reset > Reset Network Settings`). Note this will clear all saved Wi-Fi passwords.
Face ID is not working
Ensure your face is clearly visible to the front camera and that there's no obstruction. Clean the top notch area of the screen where the TrueDepth camera system is located. If it still fails, try resetting Face ID in `Settings > Face ID & Passcode` and setting it up again.
