Get it - it's brilliant. It's the kind of thing that you need to have for a while to really appreciate just how capable and refined it is - a bit like a new Mercedes-Benz ! Apple are ripping us off a bit, it's a lot of money but anything nice today does command a premium....however, it's a bargain compared to what I paid for some of the option packages on my car.
I just traded in my XR for the XS max yesterday and I’m loving it!!! I loved the XR but the XS max looks so premium especially the gold color that I got an bigger screen with Oled screen. Both are great phones but if you have the cash go for XS max!!! I’m loving it!!!!!
I traded it in and got $450 for the XR then another $200 from switching to Verizon from sprint. So I got $650 taken off the price for XS max and only pay $18 a month for phone. That’s less the. What I was paying for XR and XS is a better phone
Devon Clemmings if your trading in XS max for XS or the XR then you probably won’t pay anything because those 2 phones cost less then the XS max and the XS max runs just as smooth just has more ram and better screen and two cameras instead of one...it’s also bigger
Cecilia Torres depends on your credit and if your trading in a phone and what deals they have. My advice is look around an ask different carriers what deals they have. The new phones are comming out next month so my advice is to wait till the new phones come out then get the XS max as the price will be lowered since the new iPhones will come out and really good deals.
For me I don't care that inferior resolution as i don't see much difference in real life, it's only on paper. With my current budget I will definitely get the XR. But if money is not a problem i will certainly go for the XS Max.
If you’re coming from a non-OLED phone, go for the Xr because if you’re used to OLED it’s hard going “backwards”. But if you do a lot of creative photography, go for the Xs.
XR is truly a spectacular phone. It’s for the ppl who want that new Apple all screen design but don’t/can’t dish out over 1K dollars. YES- the XS/Max/X are slightly MORE spectacular than the XR, but that doesn’t mean the XR sucks! Plus the battery & speed are better and that matters more to many ppl than the LCD vs OLED
Actually, I find XR having a better hand feeling, as I also better like it's size compare with XS Max. I do not bother the LCD Display, as I find it very bright and accurate
I grabbed the XR. Considered the max seriously for awhile, but felt both phones were already big, so being slightly smaller and having the $350 savings helped to justify the iPad Pro 3 upgrade I preordered today.
Jonathon Mecklenburg Good luck man. When I switched at first I was shell shocked. Android offers a computer like experience and everything just kind of works, but, iPhone has major benefits over Android. 1) Privacy. 2) Battery life. 3) Cell data used is less, not always sending my location to Google. 4) Updates at least twice a month and continues for five years on a single device. 5) Apps just work, very fluid, smooth, and the phone never seems to slow down. He’s the thing, on a day-to-day basis the iPhone wins hands down. Very reliable and completely lag free, forever. My only and biggest complaint, the damn headphone jack, seriously. Can’t count how many times I wish it was USB-C or just a plain ol’ regular jack.
I actually did not have much of a problem switching I ended up going with the XR and it isn't a bad phone honestly. I have the controls of the pone down now had it for a couple of weeks. I was one of those Anti-iPhone Android owners now I am pro Apple. I got an iPhone liked it so much i just bought a iMac computer.
Jonathon Mecklenburg *That üBer KOOL 😎Man! *At first I skimmed over your post and quickly read it,: and I initially thought that you had typed : ‘’ it’ll be my 1st (mobile/cell) phone ever ! 🤣*Would’’t be a TOTAL trip if that were the case, and that person’s very 1st Mobile phone (in general thus far in the life) was to straightaway dive into the XS MAX, ‘ the Mercedes-Benz of iPhones!!! 🤩
Definitely still standing on my choice to get the XR. It’ll actually make my phone bill go down and these two are essentially the same aside from a few things that don’t really matter to me in a phone.
I got my XR last month and let me tell you it’s the best decision I’ve ever made. I compared it’s screen to the XS and there wasn’t any major difference at all! The battery on this phone is on a whole different level. It lasts me 2 full days for a moderate to heavy usage. In short it’s robust. Camera is absolutely amazing and with the smart HDR it’s pretty great with photography. I never miss the telephoto. Single lens does the job pretty well. Face id is pretty quick. Phone is very fast and does not heat at all (coming from an android). Phone is a bit bulky once the cover and screen protector is put on. The 6.1 inch screen feels pretty big and is good to use. Not for the person who likes to use his phone by one hand. XR feels as premium and stunning as the XS/X if not more. In my opinion, just go for it as it is the newer phone and the specs are also good as compared to the X.
I'm a high school student who got the XS Max a month after release and and the Note 9 in August to compare them, I personally like the feel of iOS better (and no it's not simpler for those sheep out there who think Android's "too hard to use") and the XS Max has a really fast processor but the Note 9 beats it in every other way, I still prefer the Apple's flagship more.
I’ve tested these 2 phones in the shop and honestly there is no reason to pay 350$ more for the xs max. The xr is just fine. Plus next year they’ll probably change the xs and max design.
Well, it’s cheaper than the Xs max and that’s why people like it better than the Xs max. I have compared both of the phones I thought the Xs max would be better to have, in my opinion. I currently have the Xs max and I don’t have problems with it! And plus, i don’t think they need to change the designs for both Xs and Xs max, they are just fine.
Furzoia ovo you don’t “think they need to change the design” but they will because it is an “S” device not a new one. The x max is a beast but not for that kind of money.
Thank you for the fair and thorough review. I own the XS and will be getting the XR for my daughter who has been with the 6 for at least 2 years now. iPhones are expensive but the R is just a bit easier to swallow and indeed you don’t give up much in comparison to the S
I don’t think anyone realizes this, but he said there’s no 3D Touch on the xr. My current freaking 6s has it. I used it for everything, so it’s kind of a deal breaker for me. Guess I’m dropping $350 more 😒
Jesse Palmateer 3D Touch IS A BIG DEAL! That was one of the deciding factors for me to get the Xs Max. I used 3D Touch when I had the iPhone7. Can’t live without it now
For that extra $350, you're getting 3D touch, Larger/ better screen, 2 cameras, and stainless steel frame. It's well worth the extra money if you can afford it. The other colors of the XR aren't a big deal because you can buy colored cases anyway.
That was the best comparison I’ve ever seen. I like the chart comparisons that helped make it easier to understand. You also to presented the phone without prejudiced and easy to understand. Thanks 🙏
Watching on my iPhone 7plus, just swapped out the battery, gonna wait until the new iPhone comes out in September, then buy an Xs Max when the price drops.
That the most honest review I have heard so far.....display would be a big issue with me.....but maybe not so for other people. It's a matter of choice. Still pricey and I can live with one camera... Not so great in that department.
ctnative203, how do I not know? Apple put the same glass from the XS on the screen, but not on the back. On the back they used the glass they had last year
@@kirbstomped361 bruh, are you even listening to yourself? You just said it, it has a more powerful chip. The XR is literally an iPhone xs max with just not as good display and one less camera, that's it my guy
I reAlly liked the XS MAX but was looking at the XR for awhile but then realised I like the double camera and the gold color. But at the same time I like the yellow and white on the XR. But I think the XS MAX is the best for me ;)
I bought the iPhone X’s max the then I found out all OLED screen are prone to screen burn in effect, and it will become dim over time, not happy returning the max to get xr
Axel Krol burn in is when the picture that was on the screen remains seen over anything or maybe a part of the display like status bar or something - burn in been an issue since day one especially on Samsung phones like the note and I experienced it myself plus LCD IPS is beautiful tech and truer coolers than OLED
I had both these phones. Xr is a beast of a phone. Pictures and videos are extraordinary and I love how the battery lasts. Now for the Xs max…. Feels amazing , more premium and the scream is amazing 😭🔥 but the battery is not as good as the act but not as bad. A lot of people talk about how they don’t mind the screen , but I did. The car was hard to look at during daylight but you can overlook it ( I couldn’t though ) I’m fortunate enough to have the Xs max but I must say that I do miss the camera of the xr. If I was to recommend a which phone to buy, I’d opt for the xr for camera and amazing battery. Hope this helps
Thanks so much av been thinking which of them to go for, I was just confused but my mind is telling me to go for XR since my pocket is not enough for de XS Max. But with this am boldly going for de XR thanks man
Leslie Curtis Please see at 5:46 , TRUE TONE IS DISABLED on both phones. Request you to please watch full video before commenting irresponsibly and providing misdirection to others. Peace!!
Being that I own the phone I can tell when True Tone is on or night mode the screen isn’t yellow like he’s showing I know this for a fact and I’m use to OLED screens. With max brightness on there isn’t a yellowish hue to the iPhone XR period I don’t care what he said
Hi Leslie it is true what the true tone would look like on his video but unfortunately since i have iphone xr and my co worker have the xs max when we were comparing the two i got upset because when we actually put on the same amount of brightness without the true tone I saw how bright the xs max and that made the xr screen looks like it has its true tone enabled. Well i always wanted the xs max but when my phone broke down i had no choice but to buy the xr when my paycheck isnt available to buy the phone that i want but tmobile sucks coz they only have 14 days return policy and all that 2 weeks paycheks goes to the bills. Unfortunately that was the end of the month when my android phone acted up. LoL
The Xs has a much brighter screen; you can tell, even in your video, that the whites are bright white compared to the Xr model. I own an Xs Max and was considering returning for the Xr, but noticed just how much of a difference there is, so I decided to keep my Xs. And yes, I made sure "true tone" was turned off on all phones when comparing them. I also have a Samsung S9+ and the Iphone Xs is much brighter than that screen too. I love the bright white on this new phone.
He must have had the True Tone turned on in the x r and off in the x s max and he must doesn’t know you can get rid of the yellowish hue with True Tone turned on because my True Tone is on in my x r and my whites are on the cooler side with no yellowish hue because I know how to get rid of the hue.
Joao Redol have they now? I have never experienced or my family any flickering. Burn in is over exaggerated, i have extensively used a S8, S9+, Note 9 and a iphone x. No issues with flicker or burn in whatsoever. If you want to keep Apple in the dark ages with dated tech well keep buying their lcd phones, all other phone makers are oled.
Big fan of Saaftv here. Really liking you channel. You make sure the there is side by side comparison with video footage on both displays. That really helps. Also important point was mentioned about hdr. Great comparison. Look forward to more
Rejaun Manderson it is definitely NOT how the screen is... Saki messed up here with that. Anyone can look themselves at both phones side by side. I was at my local BB and turned everything off and set to highest brightness .. they are similarly white and bright. My daughter said the Max was slightly brighter slightly whiter.. I could not notice.
Becky Yang i personally regret getting the XR and really miss my 8+. It’s a personal preference on what you want. The XS Max is built a lot better with the stainless steal frame as well you get a better screen, and I mean better lol typing on the Xr is very frustrating if your coming from a bigger phone.
Becky Yang The XR is a budget phone and it really shows after a few months of use. Idk what your budget is for a phone but I’d definitely recommend the xs Max.
I have an 8 plus , just watching this video to see what the XR hype was all about , i was upgrading to the XS max regardless because i love big phones and i just wanted to see the camera differences but it wasn't that much of a difference so I'll get the XS max
Thank you for the comparison review. I've got a gold XS Max that I've had for about 5 days. I live in London & went into the Apple store today to look at the XR - boy did I get a shock ! I didn't like it.... The size of the display is significantly smaller, the black bezel around the display is too thick. The display on the XS Max, and it's difficult to put into words exactly why, but it's just much, much better and nicer to look at and read the text. The aluminium coloured edges look like they're spray painted in a slightly different shade compared to the back colour (so the sides don't match in shade or matt texture) Personally I don't think it's a big deal to pay £350 more and I think is definitely worth it.
The new iPhone XI and XI Max are getting announced in just a few days in September 10 and pre orders are starting September 13. Please wait before getting these older Xs models.
So they're basically the same phone with minor differences that people won't even notice and an extra camera but those minor differences and the extra camera is what makes one more expensive :/
How’s the front camera for both of the one ? Which one is better ? , I’m still going for the xs max because of the sharp video . But camera which one is better ?
For me personally, the bezel difference is really, really noticeable, to the point where it’s a total non-starter for me with my iPhone 7 that appears to have thinner side bezels. I’d only consider upgrading from my 7 which has served me so well if the design was a massive step up, so I’ll wait for the tick-year of apple’s tick-tock release structure.
Thanks for mentioning that the XR display is not quite as good as the 8 Plus display. This was a very good review. I have the 8 Plus, which is a great phone. I suppose if money was no object, I would upgrade to the XS Max
Lily Cat yeah I have the iPhone SE so I’ll be upgrading to the XR this year bc to me it’s a huge upgrade. If I had an iPhone 8 I’d probably just stick with it for another 3 years.
Had Xs Max for five days. Returned to Apple. Went back to 8 Plus. Glad I hadn't sold it. The Max is amazing overall, but the biggest issue I struggled with - was reachability. Even though same physical size as my 8 Plus, found myself using two hands considerably more. I think if it was my 'go to' device, I would learn to adapt. However, as a frequent iPad Pro user for work and play, the ability to use my mobile one-handed is very beneficial. On a personal note, I thought the Xr screen was excellent. Yes, not same density as 8 Plus but I couldn't tell the difference. If I was upgrading though, would go Xr. Leaving Xs Max reachability aside, the Max is just way way too expensive.
XR LCD display is amazing. I have a XS Max and XR right next to each other and watched the exact same content and same apps installed. You'd think the XR was an OLED until you watched a movie with deep black levels. Then you can tell it's not OLED but not by much. Your comments are not accurate.
Steve Badolato they actually downgraded the Xr from the iPhone 8plus and 7plus. Its not even 1080p any more. I see the difference when i try and zoom in clothes i buy. Its not as clear as the XsMax. Im afraid your gettin older and your eyesight is gettin worse.
I got the Max when it first came out I love this thing! Almost didn't get it cause i was contemplating on the R but it was well worth the $350. the display and camera alone are worth that
LifesAnAdventure not really those screens aren’t expensive ...it’s just a way for apple to not cannibalize their own product. They could easily put and lcd with the same screen density (like on lg v30) to the xr but then it’ll be a better product overall to the general population.
I love my XR but I’ve been having problems. I can’t get SMS messages when sending codes and my screen is always freezing. I might have to go the XS Max!
who else watches videos like this a day or two before you get the phone ? 😭😭

Ios 13 update you gona get haptic touch which is similar to 3d touch in xr nt a big deal
Beckson Ram no didn’t they say they’ll keep 3D Touch for devices that have it
Very complete comparison! Thanks for putting this up
You put the XR in True Tone mode . Why ?
They both had True Tone turned off
I have the XR and the thing I like the most and the most important to me was battery life.
As always, your review is spot on. I learn so much from your videos.
Just got an IPad Pro 11 inch 2019, 256 GB, and an IPhone XS Max, 512 GB, am set to record now for a long time.
Wingz Cronic nice! I love gb I always try to get the electronics with the highest gb 🙏
why didnt you get the ipad 512GB and xs max 256?
That was the best comparison I’ve ever seen. I like the chart comparisons that helped make it easier to understand. You also to presented the phone without prejudiced and easy to understand. Thanks 🙏
Watching on my iPhone 7plus, just swapped out the battery, gonna wait until the new iPhone comes out in September, then buy an Xs Max when the price drops.
That the most honest review I have heard so far.....display would be a big issue with me.....but maybe not so for other people. It's a matter of choice. Still pricey and I can live with one camera... Not so great in that department.
I heard that the glass on the back of the XS Max is tougher
It is, indeed!!!
waih98 watch the xr drop test its super durable !
You heard correct
Elliott Waddick shut up you dont know
ctnative203, how do I not know? Apple put the same glass from the XS on the screen, but not on the back. On the back they used the glass they had last year
iPhone 10R vs iPhone 8 Plus Comparison 🤞🤞
Even the 8 has a better display
DVRKNESS iPhone 8 is utter garbage. Barely anyone bought them cause of this.
Tyler DiCicco WHAT? THE XR IS INLY BETTER BECAUSE OF THE CHIP, BUT THATS IT. XR IS GARBAGE
@@kirbstomped361 bruh, are you even listening to yourself? You just said it, it has a more powerful chip. The XR is literally an iPhone xs max with just not as good display and one less camera, that's it my guy
@@kirbstomped361 found the iphone 8 user
Watching on iPhone XS Max and gifting my son iPhone xr
I’m just bought the X-r in my opinion for the price and quality is the best option.! Not to big not to small perfect size for me.!
I reAlly liked the XS MAX but was looking at the XR for awhile but then realised I like the double camera and the gold color. But at the same time I like the yellow and white on the XR. But I think the XS MAX is the best for me ;)
I bought the iPhone X’s max the then I found out all OLED screen are prone to screen burn in effect, and it will become dim over time, not happy returning the max to get xr
jim sunny what does that mean
Axel Krol burn in is when the picture that was on the screen remains seen over anything or maybe a part of the display like status bar or something - burn in been an issue since day one especially on Samsung phones like the note and I experienced it myself plus LCD IPS is beautiful tech and truer coolers than OLED
I had both these phones. Xr is a beast of a phone. Pictures and videos are extraordinary and I love how the battery lasts. Now for the Xs max…. Feels amazing , more premium and the scream is amazing 😭🔥 but the battery is not as good as the act but not as bad.
A lot of people talk about how they don’t mind the screen , but I did. The car was hard to look at during daylight but you can overlook it ( I couldn’t though )
I’m fortunate enough to have the Xs max but I must say that I do miss the camera of the xr.
If I was to recommend a which phone to buy, I’d opt for the xr for camera and amazing battery. Hope this helps
Needed this!
Very useful..
No
Thanks so much av been thinking which of them to go for, I was just confused but my mind is telling me to go for XR since my pocket is not enough for de XS Max. But with this am boldly going for de XR thanks man
I got my XS Max 6 months ago and have been in love ever since!
I noticed you have True Tone turned on the XR with doesn’t give the best representation of the XR screen
Leslie Curtis Please see at 5:46 , TRUE TONE IS DISABLED on both phones.
Request you to please watch full video before commenting irresponsibly and providing misdirection to others.
Peace!!
Arush Shourie hallelujah
Being that I own the phone I can tell when True Tone is on or night mode the screen isn’t yellow like he’s showing I know this for a fact and I’m use to OLED screens. With max brightness on there isn’t a yellowish hue to the iPhone XR period I don’t care what he said
Hi Leslie it is true what the true tone would look like on his video but unfortunately since i have iphone xr and my co worker have the xs max when we were comparing the two i got upset because when we actually put on the same amount of brightness without the true tone I saw how bright the xs max and that made the xr screen looks like it has its true tone enabled. Well i always wanted the xs max but when my phone broke down i had no choice but to buy the xr when my paycheck isnt available to buy the phone that i want but tmobile sucks coz they only have 14 days return policy and all that 2 weeks paycheks goes to the bills. Unfortunately that was the end of the month when my android phone acted up. LoL
The only thing XR does better is the color options
Abedo F : You must mean that the IPhone XR ‘s device BODY has the color options,.. NOT in the inner display
And the price
@@jaiphotosoho173 and size
Other than the 2 cameras and size its the same phone.
Is the XR 720p? My 5S is 1080p
The Xs has a much brighter screen; you can tell, even in your video, that the whites are bright white compared to the Xr model. I own an Xs Max and was considering returning for the Xr, but noticed just how much of a difference there is, so I decided to keep my Xs. And yes, I made sure "true tone" was turned off on all phones when comparing them. I also have a Samsung S9+ and the Iphone Xs is much brighter than that screen too. I love the bright white on this new phone.
...out of interest, why were you thinking of returning Xs Max? i.e. too big, expensive, etc
Carl Naessens That new iPhone XS Max Hurt my eyes headaches same as the X did returned both XR lcd is the only new phone I can use 😔
He must have had the True Tone turned on in the x r and off in the x s max and he must doesn’t know you can get rid of the yellowish hue with True Tone turned on because my True Tone is on in my x r and my whites are on the cooler side with no yellowish hue because I know how to get rid of the hue.
A Samsung s7 edge has a better screen than the X r
Joao Redol have they now? I have never experienced or my family any flickering. Burn in is over exaggerated, i have extensively used a S8, S9+, Note 9 and a iphone x. No issues with flicker or burn in whatsoever. If you want to keep Apple in the dark ages with dated tech well keep buying their lcd phones, all other phone makers are oled.
@Sakitech:
WHY on Earth didn’t you even mention the Dual SiM cards ,etc. in this review?
I’ve had the xr for about a week now, first iPhone I’ve had in years but honestly feeling like getting the xs max
I love XR. I don't need 4k for videos. I don't need very brightened white or colours. Its perfect
Big fan of Saaftv here. Really liking you channel. You make sure the there is side by side comparison with video footage on both displays. That really helps. Also important point was mentioned about hdr. Great comparison. Look forward to more
Whats so good about the 10R besides the price? Why should i get this over the XS Max?
thats the point of the video
Was thinking about upgrading. But might as well wait for new iPhones to be announced this September
I was thinking the same
Same here
Why does the xr look so Orange? Is it a night mode or something or is that how the screen is
Rejaun Manderson it is definitely NOT how the screen is... Saki messed up here with that. Anyone can look themselves at both phones side by side. I was at my local BB and turned everything off and set to highest brightness .. they are similarly white and bright. My daughter said the Max was slightly brighter slightly whiter.. I could not notice.
its truetone
I hate it when I swallow my own spit and choke on it..
Wingz Cronic I love it when that happens
Wingz Cronic Same
What a random comment...
I hate it when that happens in my sleep
Wingz Cronic lmao I too can relate:/
Ive had the 6plus, 7plus and the 8plus. Was gonna get the XS max but the price was a lil to high so i decided on the XR. I regret that purchase.
Cody Burachenski why do you regret getting he Xr
Thought i would change things up. Im used to the plus phones. At this moment my XR is for sale
Becky Yang i personally regret getting the XR and really miss my 8+. It’s a personal preference on what you want. The XS Max is built a lot better with the stainless steal frame as well you get a better screen, and I mean better lol typing on the Xr is very frustrating if your coming from a bigger phone.
Becky Yang The XR is a budget phone and it really shows after a few months of use. Idk what your budget is for a phone but I’d definitely recommend the xs Max.
Excellent comparison... !
The OLED display for iPhone XS Max is gorgeous in person
Thank you @sakitech this video was really useful.
Get the Max. I had the 7 before, got the max, haven't looked back since
I have the 7 and I finally upgraded now just waiting I don’t hate iPhone 7 it just gets really hot
Great review. Thank you.
Tbh the xr is much better. The major question is do u want your phone to be bigger. I personally think that the xr is a very comfortable size
Jovie Cochran how is the Xr better??
The only category it’s better in is price.
The XR is inferior in every way besides the price.
Ethan Andrew finally someone who admits the XR isn’t better than the XS max
Ethan Andrew low light it isn’t
Ethan Andrew portrait mode also better
I have an 8 plus , just watching this video to see what the XR hype was all about , i was upgrading to the XS max regardless because i love big phones and i just wanted to see the camera differences but it wasn't that much of a difference so I'll get the XS max
I have the iPhone XS and love it! The build quality and slimmer profile is enough for me to buy it over the XR
Great review like always. 👍
Thank you for the comparison review.
I've got a gold XS Max that I've had for about 5 days.
I live in London & went into the Apple store today to look at the XR - boy did I get a shock ! I didn't like it....
The size of the display is significantly smaller, the black bezel around the display is too thick.
The display on the XS Max, and it's difficult to put into words exactly why, but it's just much, much better and nicer
to look at and read the text.
The aluminium coloured edges look like they're spray painted in a slightly different shade
compared to the back colour (so the sides don't match in shade or matt texture)
Personally I don't think it's a big deal to pay £350 more and I think is definitely worth it.
Wait I got confuse would u prefer xs max or xr?
XS Max@@analopezprado1706
@@paulwharton1850 XR max?
XS Max@@BornLiveandDieby
I agree. The XR looks and feels really tacky, like a cheap knock-off. Even the iPhone 8+ and 7+ seem far more premium. So glad I opted for the XS Max.
Thank you you have been the best informative Chanel !! 💕

Love my Xs Max 256 gb !! Great video comparison !!
Frank Linares I got the gold one 256 gb
Same here Max 256gb Gold.
U flexing
I got the gold one 512gb!
Bobby I got space grey 64gb? very few people will need 256
I used to not buy the latest iPhones but when my iPhone 7plus finally died I upgraded to the xs max and absolutely love it.Plus the camera is unreal
What happened when your phone died? What was it like?
Ima get my X max this Friday!
Datboinate17 same LMAO, not even joking
The new iPhone XI and XI Max are getting announced in just a few days in September 10 and pre orders are starting September 13. Please wait before getting these older Xs models.
Just ordered an XS max in gold color😍 it will be arriving in about 3-5 days
Did you get it ?
@@angelinemai1891 yes!!
PERFECT 👌🏽 great video
How can you say there is a "clear difference" in the display quality then go on to say that most won't notice differnce in day to day use
anUntouchable because you won’t unless you’re holding the XR next to the XS Max lol
So they're basically the same phone with minor differences that people won't even notice and an extra camera but those minor differences and the extra camera is what makes one more expensive :/
Thanks so much, now I know what phone I will get. Xr will b my choice.
That’s more like it what’s with all the fuss about the s max get a XR cheeper btw
How’s the front camera for both of the one ? Which one is better ? , I’m still going for the xs max because of the sharp video . But camera which one is better ?
For me personally, the bezel difference is really, really noticeable, to the point where it’s a total non-starter for me with my iPhone 7 that appears to have thinner side bezels. I’d only consider upgrading from my 7 which has served me so well if the design was a massive step up, so I’ll wait for the tick-year of apple’s tick-tock release structure.
I have the XS Max, my wife has the XR..overall they’re pretty similar. The XR just has less features (no 3D Touch, no HDR)
drteaisback I have the 10r in white, and I have Haptic Touch! IOS13 made that possible, just saying
Thanks for mentioning that the XR display is not quite as good as the 8 Plus display. This was a very good review. I have the 8 Plus, which is a great phone. I suppose if money was no object, I would upgrade to the XS Max
Lily Cat yeah I have the iPhone SE so I’ll be upgrading to the XR this year bc to me it’s a huge upgrade. If I had an iPhone 8 I’d probably just stick with it for another 3 years.
Had Xs Max for five days. Returned to Apple. Went back to 8 Plus. Glad I hadn't sold it. The Max is amazing overall, but the biggest issue I struggled with - was reachability. Even though same physical size as my 8 Plus, found myself using two hands considerably more. I think if it was my 'go to' device, I would learn to adapt. However, as a frequent iPad Pro user for work and play, the ability to use my mobile one-handed is very beneficial. On a personal note, I thought the Xr screen was excellent. Yes, not same density as 8 Plus but I couldn't tell the difference. If I was upgrading though, would go Xr. Leaving Xs Max reachability aside, the Max is just way way too expensive.
Me either, I am actually thinking of upgrading it to either X/XS/XsMax because when I compared my 7+ to XR I feel like my phone’s better than it
Lily Cat why isn’t your boyfriend buying your iPhone?
Good comparison. Very helpful.
The glass on the back of the XS is actually more durable than the glass on the Xr. The Xr is still using the same glass as last years X.
somehow the iphone XR is more durable lol
Its not disappointment at all the XR display, its a really good display , I bought it for 1 month now :) and has a really good battery life too :)
Watching this On Xs Max 256gb Go big or the go home!
XR LCD display is amazing. I have a XS Max and XR right next to each other and watched the exact same content and same apps installed. You'd think the XR was an OLED until you watched a movie with deep black levels. Then you can tell it's not OLED but not by much. Your comments are not accurate.
Steve Badolato they actually downgraded the Xr from the iPhone 8plus and 7plus. Its not even 1080p any more. I see the difference when i try and zoom in clothes i buy. Its not as clear as the XsMax. Im afraid your gettin older and your eyesight is gettin worse.
I got the Max when it first came out I love this thing! Almost didn't get it cause i was contemplating on the R but it was well worth the $350. the display and camera alone are worth that
LifesAnAdventure not really those screens aren’t expensive ...it’s just a way for apple to not cannibalize their own product. They could easily put and lcd with the same screen density (like on lg v30) to the xr but then it’ll be a better product overall to the general population.
I love my XR but I’ve been having problems. I can’t get SMS messages when sending codes and my screen is always freezing. I might have to go the XS Max!
Victoria Ieshia just got it fits in hand perfects
