If you want a next-as-in-X-generation iPhone but you don't want to pay a thousand or more bucks for it, you want an XR.

iPhone XR - never mind what the R means, it's just a new letter for Apple, one before S, "racing" if you're into cars, "reflex" if you're into cameras, cool-sounding either way. It's everything you need in a next-as-in-X-generation iPhone, minus some bells and whistles... and the higher price tag.
LCD instead of OLED display. Single instead of dual camera system. Haptic touch instead of 3D Touch. LTE Advanced and 2x2 MIMO instead of Gigabit and 4x4. Aluminum instead of steel bands. Back glass that's stronger than iPhone X but not quite as strong as iPhone XS.
It does come in a range of fancy new finishes though: black, white, blue, yellow, coral orange, and Product (RED). And at that lower price - $250 lower - starting at $749.
It does have the new edge-to-curved-edge design language, Face ID and the True Depth camera up front, the latest 12 megapixel, Smart HDR camera on the back, the industry-leading A12 Bionic chipset inside, wide stereo speakers on both ends, and dual SIM card support if one carrier and one number just isn't enough.
So, what are you getting with iPhone XR and what are you giving up? I've spent the last week with a black iPhone XR, and here's what I've found.

Errata:
Misspoke a couple times, even while looking at the slides. The IP and stats for the water resistance are correct, but the compare is wrong. It's like iPhone X, not iPhone XS. Also, iPhone XS Max display is 2688x1242 (I said 1942 for some reason. Sigh.) I'll keep adding them if/when you find them, thanks so much for the catches!
I heard on a different review video that the glass was the same as the iPhone X but you say it's a bit stronger. I really want strong glass because I *always* manage to drop my new phones before I get a protective case. Apparently the Xr isn't launching with a gel/softish cover so I'm a bit worried.
Rene Ritchie shouldn’t all your facts be accurate in a video like this? Many don’t even read comments.
why not redo the parts you misspoke? Edit around it. Pretty basic editing too.
Rene Ritchie there is no subpixel AA on iPhone or any other iOS device. As a matter of fact, Apple dropped support for it in macOS too starting Mojave, since there is virtually no benefits using it on Retina screens.
Can you test it in a raid for Pokemon Go😁😁😁
lol LIKE YOU ARE PAYING HIM TO DO THIS.......
If Google made a phone with the "coral" color. They will call it "not Orange"
Almost Orange?
@@vector3578 that too possible 😂😂
It would probably very a dark orange and be called Very Orange
Praveen neevarP
Or something equally lame: "Aren't You Glad This isn't Orange?"
They should have made it in that color
26 minutes of a detailed, deeply thought out review.
Linus will probably spend 6 minutes ripping on the lack of SD storage slot.
Great work.
Pretty much.
It's a valid criticism when compared to cheaper phones.
Derek Jonez You can’t just say “because my 50 dollar walkie talkie has a UHF transceiver, all iPhones should be criticized for the lack of it”. The criticism doesn’t work with price, because it’s not determined by having a slot or not.
I think the point has been lost... my comment is not a matter of pointing out missing features, but rather the difference between a complete and thorough discussion vs. a quick click bait video based on personal bias. That’s all.
Ed Garcia Rene does a great job at it.
Solid review Rene, I think people are going to love this phone once they have their hands on it
🙏🙏🙏
Nice
Tyler Stalman that’s exactly what Apple is counting on, just like their 2014 Mac Mini w/laptop CPU and 500GB 5400 HDD for $500
they're about to upgrade the Mini so, after quite a while but here it is
waiting to see your thoughts on camera...are we going to see it on your channel or TLD 🙂
5:11 that "we'll see" gave me a good laugh for some reason. Great video man!
Thanks man! Huge compliment coming from you!
By far the most informative review I’ve seen on the iPhone XR. Thank you. Posted from my black XR :)
Woah. I'm a pixel 2 XL user, and have been an Android only kinda guy for the past couple years now. I thought this year I'd switch things up, and try an iPhone for a change. I wasn't willing to shell out the extra 250 for the Xs mainly because the I don't mind the display all that much. So here I was just searching on UA-cam, seeing what people's thoughts on it are, and I stumble across this video. And once again,...woah. THIS is my kinda tech video. As a mechatronics engineering student, I care about more than just specs, I look behind the scenes on the tech and see how these phones are engineered. Personally, Apple's team is the most impressive and truly inspiring team of any smartphone company currently out. I love the levels that they will go just for minor details. THAT is what real engineers do. THANK YOU, for being such an amazing tech head. If you had a UA-cam premium option, I would without a doubt be first in line. I am soooooo much more impressed by someone like yourself, that actually knows what they are talking about, than a pretty eyecandy video. KEEP IT UP MAN!!!!!!
@Raven's End for my defense, i don't really like the multitasking gesture (alrdy tried it but idk, i just don't like it. My friend's phone with a multitasking gesture, is not using them as often tho). And well, it's really easy to switch between apps with the iPhone X series gesture. Just wanna point that out xD
I always look at your videos and think “I don’t know if I’ll watch the whole thing” but the quality and honesty you put into these videos always keeps me watching. Didn’t even realize this was 26 minutes long until it ended lol keep up the great work man
Your video is as always the most in-depth, consistent, and technological to watch. The best I've seen on Apple products review content. Keep it up!
I respect the big UA-camrs but I had to watch your review first. I love it buddy. Keep up the phenomenal work.
Thanks much!
Product Red XR coming in the mail Friday to replace my 7. OMG I Can't wait!
How is it doing so far? And do you think it is better than the display of an iPhone 8 Plus?
Mystic - Edits the display isn’t better than the 8 plus
Found my iPhone 4s receipt from January 2012. Price for the 4s... $649. Only $100 less than the price of the XR. Interesting.
As for that LCD display on the XR....
I went to Best Buy over the weekend and compared the iPhone 8 Plus LCD display next to the Note 9’s OLED display and the discovered that the not only does the 8 Plus look amazing, but the display was brighter than the Note 9. That really surprised me. I did this test in the Sprint, Verizon, AT&T Sections in Best Buy, which means I tested three iPhone 8 Plus against three Note 9’s and the results were the same each time. Baffling. I thought the Note 9 would be twice as bright.
If the XR display is best LCD display that Apple has made and the iPhone 8 Plus looks amazing... I’m super excited for the XR. I’m also super excited for the XR’s LCD display because I prefer LCD over OLED. Just my personal preference. My iPad 6th generation (2018) only has an LCD display at 264 ppi and I prefer it over the Super OLED display of my S7 Edge. I like how the colors are more natural and not over saturated like they tend to be on OLED displays. Once again, just preference.
As for the XR bezels... I’m happy that I will be able to watch UA-cam videos without accidentally choosing another video because the bezels are so small on the sides that the side of my hand ends up touching the screen.
I’m happy that Apple created the XR. A high powered phone with an LCD display is exactly what I need.
Oh, and my iPad 6th generation only has 2 GB of RAM and it’s a beast. I’ve had zero problem with it being able to handle anything I throw at it. My S7 Edge has 4 GB of RAM and struggles all the time. The XR having 3 GB of RAM is not going to be a problem.
As for 3D Touch not on the XR. No biggie. The Haptic touch on the XR is basically the exact same thing.... kinda like how Nova Launcher on Android has that touch and hold for pop-up menu feature.
The moral of the story is that sometimes, specs don’t matter. Performance and preference does.
“BUT THE SPECS!” - Jon Prosser
iPhone XR display looks great. Only quibble is no HDR if you care about that. (Some companies claim LCD can do HDR by saying it makes up for the less deep blacks with brighter whites, but Apple isn't pushing that line - or those brightness levels.)
twice as bright? you want a phone or a flashlight
HDR is one of those things that I was super excited about but ended up never really caring about. Kinda like how I was super excited about getting my Samsung S7 Edge with Quad HD display, then only using the FHD (1080p) setting because I couldn't tell the difference between them. Or how I was super excited about the S7's micro SD care... that I never used.
For some reason, my eyes really enjoy that natural look of Apple's LCD displays. My S7 Edge has what I thought was an amazing display (Quad HD and all that), however, I always used my 2012 iPad to watch videos because I liked how videos look on the iPad. More natural. Now I have an iPad 6th generation with 264 ppi LCD display and I still choose the lower resolution, non-HDR display over my S7. I also prefer vinyl over digital music. I'm old.
From the way people talked about the Note 9 display, I thought it would be crazy bright compared to the iPhone 8 Plus and it's lowly LCD display. I was just baffled when the Note 9 display wasn't super bright like I expected. I was more baffled that the 8 Plus was brighter than the Note 9.
John Marshall u need ur eyes checked if u sayin 8 plus over note 9 screen.
Looking forward to get mine to review. Great review so far, Rene! (Still watching 👀 )
Thanks!
GregsGadgets can’t wait! 😀
Justin Dube That was not my intention.
I love your reviews. Amazingly detailed. And eve tough I am geek and love technical specs, I still prefer battery life in reality than screen resolution.
Loved the presentation my only criticism is that the flow of valuable information was so fast that I had trouble absorbing it all and had to go back several times, The coverage of all that matters, however, was stellar! thanks
I love this reviews, they are well documented and they actually INFORM!!!
I love 3D Touch. I'm so glad someone else uses it. Every other tech reviewer says they don't and I'm always worried it's going to be removed entirely because of the lack of use.
Most underrated feature that android doesn’t have. I hope explore the 3D touch more
i used it too all the time and becuase xr doesnt have it, it is a game changer for me. also no fingerprint. i do not want to hold my phone at an angle to unlock it. also, i could unlock it whilst pulling it out of my pocket before. i see what they are trying to do, but taking out those features is just daft. add more, but do not take out things that work well :(
Yeah same here. I use 3D Touch often and hope the rumors of it’s removal are false!
I came when the video had 3 views. Forgot to comment earlier. Thanks for the early review!
Thanks Rene, great review! You really highlighted the differences between all models in a perfect way. Keep it up!
I have never seen a review so detailed and informative in my entire life! Literally!! Amazing job Rene, you just earned a subscriber!
Really loved this in depth look. I feel like I don't need to watch any other review. Great video man! I have preordered a Black 128GB iPhone XR and waiting for it to arrive. It would be a massive upgrade over my 3 year old 64GB iPhone 6s.
Thank you!
Same
Me too! Replacing my 5 yr old iPhone 5s.. :s Can't wait!
Inder Deep Singh
Omg you are gonna be impressed
i’ve got a 64gb 6s too & am upgrading to white xr 128gb can’t wait!!!
Your videos are 🔥 Rene!!
Ha, thank you!
Really enjoy your honest reviews and opinions. It's refreshing seeing how you give your analysis. Keep it up and thanks!
Continiuingui release the best tech content out there! I am always excited for your uploads 😊
...you are the most underrated reviewer on UA-cam!!! U have a new subscriber.. you should have so many more...I bought a XR in yellow 128GB to replace an Apple X 256Gb, love it. By the way, $1672.00 AUD for the 128 GB + Applecare + a screen protector..not so cheap in Australia
Amazing review rene!
This channel is so underrated, you definitely deserve over a million subs. You’re smart, detailed, and by far the most non bias UA-camr out right now. I appreciate your reviews and hope this channel grows swiftly.
This was so well done. Glad I found your channel.
I preordered the XR right when it was available with high hopes. I'm relieved that they were met and I can't wait to get it in hand this Friday
Moron. This phone is expensive trash. Just buy an S9+.....
dani_i89 some people suit apple devices more, like I need iMessage and FaceTime because of the people I talk to and no I’m not going to get them to download some random third party app. Get iMessage and FaceTime on an s9+ and I’ll swap over.
Also Snapchat quality on iPhone is 100x better then android quality.
26 minutes video 😯
Respect man 🔥
Thank you!
@@vector3578 can see you on top some day. Keep it up 💞
You have stated so much information about one product in depth, a very good review phone that I have came acrossed in recent days. Subscribed👍
Huge fan I listen 2 him & Leo every week on Mac Break Weekly, keep up the great work :)
Most technical guy on tech period.
Mr Memoji you haven’t check out Erica griffin then..
Absolutely not, far from it.
Lol Check Gary explains, this guy is kindergarden level compared to Gary
respect for the 26 minute video, still watching rn xD
Preordered and can't believe the specs. Thanks for review. Great insight and explanation.
You have the best review channel! Subscribed!
You see this channel upload a 26:45 video. You know it’s 26:45 of information.
Keep up the great work.
I like your detailed video
Been waiting for this!
This is one of the *Best* Iphone XR unboxing videos!Great Job
I just got mine , coral 10 R .
It's awesome .
I feel like a topic hasn’t REALLY been covered until RR covers it.
Wow this guy really going in depth in is Xr review. Respect!
Great review!! Your style, voice, b roll, can be addictive. I forgot the review was 27 min long. I found that I kept wanting to watch and listen more for one of your uncanny humorous lines. Thanks.
Beside the absolute awesome review, i find the color of this video stunning, vibrant and pop. Awesome!
Thank you!
Great review Rene. Shout out from Kenya!
15:00 - for camera talk.
kermitrehab Thank you sm!
Super detailed, sophisticated, intelligent review. Great job, my man!
Great stuff man. Love your videos. Keep up the great work
Great review. Great that the Xr and Xs share so much DNA. Give everybody more choice inside of the iOS ecosystem
he is definitely going to be one of the best tech youtubers in coming years
Great info on the camera systems
Great video as usual. Your uncompromised focus on the substance of the review, rather than simply the aesthetics of it, is highly commendable. A rare thing in today's tech UA-cam scene.
I received mine today (from T-Mobile) replacing my venerable iPhone 7 (with which I have had zero issues). It started up effortlessly...bringing it into proximity with my "about to be retired" iPhone 7 then restoring from iTunes backup. As has been said in this review (and others) the target market for this model IS NOT the person who wants EVERYTHING...but rather the person upgrading from an earlier iPhone. From that perspective this baby is a jewel...in fact, since iPhone 5 the Apple phone has "felt" like an object of art and this one is the best yet (that I have had). It is a bit heavier than my 7...but it is also a more powerful computer. I have used cases for all my previous iPhones but will hold off on this one because it is just so darned beautiful (and I'm not sure whether inductive charging works with a case, or not...I have this feature in my Chevy Bolt EV). I haven't dropped the past two phones I've had, so I'm taking chances on this one...at least for a while. Screen resolution: as good or a little better than what I'm used to...not even close to an issue. Bottom Line: for this "target market" guy...it's a beautiful step up (while still not requiring a 2nd Mortgage).
You say that this phone is for the person that doesn't want everything ! But it's for the person that just wants to upgrade from an earlier iPhone! Well what an excuse is that ? Your paying 750 for this phone which is flagship territory. Other phones are 100s cheaper and offer so so so much more . I think deep down you realise you're being ripped off by apple with this phone but for some reason you're trying to convince your self that you're getting a bargain! Be honest and say it as it is. Apple are ripping people off. If enough people complain they'll get the message and bring prices down.
I love my iPhone XR, so glad I made this purchase
The camera is also amazing and meets the iPhone XS
I find it to be iPhone’s best new design with that big 6.1 screen. Forget the display Blabla, i find it amazing. With half the price of XS Max, it’s definitely the best deal
I only compare it with other iPhones because since more than 8 years, I’ve only bought Apple products ( iPhone, iPad , Apple TV, HomePod,AirPods and Apple Watch ). No experience whatsoever with other brands.
Moudire Ifan $749.00 ain’t half that’s 3/4 of the Xs
What an in dept review. I wish other UA-camrs can emulate this bloke. He's good. And the way he seamlessly brings the sponsor in is remarkable. I find myself waiting for that moment. Thanks Rene, you're the best.
Amazing review, very technical.. Thank you..
5:15 iPhone Xs and Xs Max are IP68, not IP67 water and dust resistant*
EpicLaith Scrolled down to say that but saw that you already commented it.
Ugh. Mispoke. Thanks!
No one reviews a phone this well. I had know idea about the diamond pixel pattern on the o-led screens or how the new liquid retina display was using a new anti-analyzing method for the rounded edges. Literally none of the big tech channels talk about this stuff. Loved the video!
Turnbased Toddy Underrated for sure
Riley Dumont I meant to say “liquid Retina display” lol
Fantastically thorough review, Rene.
Another well thought out and educational video! That why I like the channel! It's informational without being stuffy
Android fanboys here as Jon Prosser says..."But the spectks" lol
I mean, the specs though
@@AutomaticDuck300 You are proving my point, you realize? Go home do some research instead of just looking at the specs
Shubham 10: First of all, it’s specs. And yes, they do better in tech. Get your head out of your ignorant ass, dumbfuck!
I’ve had the x for a month. And I have to say it’s sucks! Don’t get wrong. When it works it’s awesome! But when your coming from an iPhone 7 Plus that pretty much has the same performance. And sometimes outruns the x. I’m back to my iPhone 7 Plus. Sad to say this. But being a fan of apple for so long. I’m for sure will never buy another iPhone after this. I will be going with an Android. Cameras. Android runs circles around apple iPhones.
I'm still getting the Xs because I might as well pay a little bit more to get the full experience from a phone that I'm gonna use for a few years. People are thinking about the price point as if they had to buy it every year even though the quality of the phone & software give you at least 4 years with a very powerful phone.
Khassé Sy Savané 250 more for a screen? Lol
Screen, better camera (that I personally care about) & basically a product of better quality. As long as you can afford it, I can't be mad at someone who chooses that option
Great video! Legit production value for one dude, and great commentary as always.
Such an excellent review. I'm subbed and looking forward to future content!
I wish Apple will bring back 3D Touch to iPhone XR
Noooo hate 3D Touch!!!
Xr is the 6s for apple. It was the only right thing they’ve done since then.
I have it as my second phone and I love it. My sister has my 6s and I changed now because of the rumor that 6s won’t get the ISO 13 upgrades. The only reason.
Marc Guima im using a 6s plus and I have ios 13.2 beta and its soooo good but im switching to this phone and will definitely sign back up for the beta
I have to say I did enjoy this video! Very informative and not so defensive as your last video. Again thanks, keep them coming.
Rene Ritchie! This was one informative video!!, just confirmed my purchase, getting the Iphone Xr Product red! because of your video! thanks for the in depth info!
Why android fan boys are not appreciating apple for getting rid of chin on LCD , I can’t understand.. That will force android manufacturers to do the same
Harwinder Singh RupaL who cares that much about a “chin”?
Apple patented the design so no other companies can do it the same way.
Derek Jonez all the android screen spec whores.
You can't patent a design such as folding the oled panel which was fabricated by Samsung in the first place. Other Android OEMs don't do this simply because they believe the cost and space usage isn't worth it. Android also requires a much denser battery hence more space needs to be dedicated to that.
yiwei wu no they certainly can... there’s only ONE way to bend the OLED around ports and parts and they have for sure patented it... cause no other company has it... or has done it
Battery life, processing power and usability are the most important features for me. Pre-ordered a 256 product red!
Processing power? What are you using the power of your present phone to do and what can't you accomplish now due to your "slow" mobile CPU? Are you editing video's or something on your phone?
So when I say processing power what I mean is I am replacing an iPhone 7plus that I have had for 2 years. I want a phone that will be able to compete with future phones because I hold onto iPhones for a while. Don't rush and upgrade every year. So in 2020 I want my phone to be on par with whatever is out at the time.
iPhone XS has an extra gb of ram so is technically faster.
Ok. Thanks for the info. 😐
@@Moose185 more ram doesnt means more speed.
Amazing, one of the very best reviews, interesting and in-depth.
Years of hearing you on tech podcasts... good to see your face and doing your thing
Long time Samsung user here, one of the main reasons I will consider this phone is the Apple watch. The apple watch is so far ahead of other watches but it only works, with iPhones. Great review though, I'll check it out (xr) in store and if the screen passes my eye test I'll likely try it out (oled biased).
IPhone Xr + watch = Xs max, price. 🤔
Apple watch is awesome but honestly, I could never dump Samsung b/c of Samsung Pay. Works everywhere and is FAR superior to Apple and Google pay. Surprised its not mentioned more. It basically replaces the need for a physical credit/debit card.
@@Lightsaglowllc yes, I use Samsung pay but not often but cool to see people's reactions to paying with the phone. The gear watch is just not as robust as Apple watch.
I hope Google steps it up watch wise but it seems they have let that go by the way side and that is why Samsung uses tizen instead. I hope the xr lcd screen is not too bad but once you go oled it's hard to go back, especially since the screen is what you see all the time you interact with your phone.
Apple watch series 4, received as a birthday gift the weekend it released. Had to get an iPhone in order to get the watch to function. This watch is amazing. Chose the iPhone 8 plus because at the time the xs max would have been the iPhone I'd have chosen but the price.... Now I'm kicking myself.
Lights Aglow in the UK, Apple Pay is the most supported mobile payment system and it also has no limit on spending so I’ve bought things that have cost £1000+ knowing the transactions are very secure and is accepted in more places then google/Samsung pay
I see Rene Ritchie video, I click.
🙏
Excellent review thanks for such a great ACTUAL REVIEW.
Awesome review as always, Rene. Super thorough, and this review makes me can't wait for the XR to be available in Indonesia.
Apple are the only ones that make notches look good
Tsynami Garmadon I think they are all terrible.
Nope.
Derek Jonez to bad
"too" bad. I don't know why it's too bad. Would you pay to watch a movie with a portion of the screen obscured by a trash can?
The OnePlus6T notch is the best notch imo. It's just a little tear drop notch.
Rene , your the most trustable tech reviewer in the world , more than mkbhd or linus tt , like linus is great to know bout the latest cpu or gpu but for a phone review or somethin like it ill come to u man , and try to hire some one for the videography cuz it could be refined.
edit- btw its 2688 x 1242 at 8:57
Ugh, thanks for catching that! And it's right there in the slide!
cool
take tech hahahahah seriously? He’s one of the most biased reviewers I’ve seen on UA-cam.
nope
You couldn’t be anymore wrong on this one in my opinion.
Now that's what I call an in depth review!
Absolutely stunning review. So much work obviously went into this. Apple are lucky to have you reviewing their products.
Well there you have it that display isn’t that bad!
arn_ junx157 yea people are just going over the top. I want to see Unbox Therapy's impressions.
@@nevillemathew6521 he will hate on it in a video with a cancerous title and thumbnail and shout a bit
And who doesn't want to pay $750 for a display that "isn't that bad"?
Derek Jonez And here comes the guy who believe that a screen represents the entire phone. 750 dollars includes other things, just so you know.
@@xmark1440 the phone is fine in a Vacuum, but for the same price you could get a 1440p AMOLED Galaxy S9 or 1080p AMOLED Pixel 3
The one I trust...
Thanks man, solid review!
Ok, you’re my new favourite reviewer. Good focused review, a joy to listen to.
Am I the only one who doesn’t understand anything about the screen? 🙋♂️🤨
better than Pixel 3XL!
Asif Mahmud Akash in which way?
Derek Jonez smaller notch and chin
Definitely not but this is a very very good iPhone with next generation speed and headroom for a few years to come.
Call screening and always on display with song recognition is just superb, and night sight and great HDR+ are all amazing.
TankQ that screening is grossly overrated. Super gimmicky
Derek Jonez In every way
I do really like your reviews and thoughtfulness!
Very detailed review nice 👍🏾 job
Damn... I kind of regret spending the $350 extra on the XS Max... oh well, this thing is still dope
This guy extends the Apple Sheep level of Tailosive tech to indefinite level.
Harsh Vaghela Lol, thanks for all the arguments... troll
Got the XS Max but love your reviews. Best reviewer on UA-cam hands down!!!!!🥇
i have loved your reviews, after waiting for this review, and seeing your previous review on the iPhone XS has helped me make the decision to buy the iPhone XS after payday next week! Cant wait!!
I will still stick to my iPhone SE because:
1) The form factor is my first priority. Its the same reason I avoided buying 6s.
2) Comparing prices of the same model in US and India, anyone can get disappointed. The price conversion from USD to INR is simply the worst.
3) Even if I ignore my first two points, I still feel iPhone X is a better deal. It has A11 chip which is still the second best (after A12), has OLED display, runs ios12 and most importantly contains lightning to 3.5 mm adapter in the box. The split second delay to unlock device (compared to iphone Xs/Xs Max/XR) is fine. Its still secure. It has the same design, almost same form factor & same gestures. Its cheaper than iPhone XR too.
4) I really cant comment about its screen until I have a look at it myself.
CoolkarniChannel What do you think of the X and XS? I’ve debated if they are small enough.
To be honest, both are big. 5.8 inch screen is never good for a single hand use (unless you have bigger hands than average size). Just consider the fact that iPhone X and XS will have their power button and volume rockers placed almost 5 inch away from bottom.
I am using iPhone SE for past 8 months and when I take a normal android phone with more than 5 inch screen in hand, it feels very big.
Having said that, it all comes down to personal preference. If you are a guy who likes to play games or consume multimedia on your smartphone and ready to sacrifice one-hand use, then all the phones above iPhone X are for you. XR is the "apple-budget" phone among them ;-)
I had the X, and the Face ID isn’t noticeably slower to the XS Max. Also it is super easy for one handed use, at least in my opinion.
Seems like I have smaller hands then. :D
when you're still using 5SE till now then you'll want to get XR because when you use an OLED for a long period of time it will have issues such as burn in right? not to mention XR has a lot more battery life than the X and the camera is even greater. i think the battery life is the most impressive one compared to the X tho. i actually thought the same, the X is a better deal. but when i look at the bigger picture, i guess the Xr will suit me best since im planning to use it for 3/4 years
This dude looks like he’s late 20s but his grey/white hair says late 50s.
Wow, great review. Super in depth and knowledgable.
Awesome and thorough review. Thank you
Man, I thought B E Z E Ls on the Xs were big but these are next level. Like a chin ears forehead and a notch.
Great review BTW.
Hamzie ! Nope I would get the XR ;). It was a slight embellishment.
They're bigger, for sure. You don't really notice them after you've been using XR for a while but the minute you put it next to an X or XS, they're all "hello!"
Rene Ritchie I’m getting the Orange 🍊 May I say your level of detail and knowledge of Apple products is unequaled.
Western Gents United That’s good. With Samsung copying Apple again and dropping the 3.5mm jack on the Note 10 you’ll feel right at home 👍
No matter how much you try to sugarcoat the XR, it’s an inferior and a downgraded device and apple has held back on features which should’ve been added easily with the ‘$750’ starting price. Let’s also keep in mind the fact that only a couple of years ago, apple was selling it’s flagship devices with a $700 price tag and today, they’re offering a ‘budget iPhone’ for north of $700.
What features should’ve been added for you to feel comfortable with the $750?
Also, regardless of the above clearly this phone is still better than the flagships of a couple of years ago.
IGK TV Apple is a company.. with a goal of profit.. so.. if people buys it for $750 with the feature set that it has then Apple put just the right amount of features in it for $750
Who tf said it's a budget phone. It's a flagship while the XS is more of a luxury device.
Dean Vowles for starters, there was no need to omit 3D touch. Secondly, the screen resolution is rather pathetic.
Shayan Ahsan It is indeed a budget, as claimed by the ‘global tech community’. My point is, flaghsip iPhone’s from a couple of years ago were launched at a lower price point than today’s budget XR giving us an impression that it’s totally acceptable to charge $750 for a budget iphone. Why though?
Detailed and honest! Well done.
