The thing that really smacks me right in the middle of both of them is that 3D Touch like dang man I have a 7 plus and I’ve come to like that 3D Touch feature why would they take that away?
no thanks, i don't need a big phone, buy the xs max if you need big. the point with x and xs was and is that the total package shouldnt be much bigger than the iphone6, 6s, 7, 8.
The XR's display won't burn in. The XR's battery is better. I prefer the aluminium frame over stainless steel. Don't need the second camera. XR is my winner.
Blastboys // Octave you don’t need a super high resolution display on a smartphone. Have you even went and tried the XR? You don’t even notice the pixels.
Agustin Carrillo got 10 hours and 45 minutes out of my XR before it hit 10%. Granted that was all on WiFi, but it’s still impressive. I went from an 8 plus and I have no regrets about it.
Agustin Carrillo I actually think that the XR screen is a better quality LED screen. Just because it’s not the same pixel density doesn’t justify the extra 350 I would’ve had to have spent to get the extra 5% more features and the 256 gig storage. Everyone says you can see it up close, well if they’re holding their phones that close to their faces all of the time it’s going to hurt their eyes, and nobody does that anyway. They need glasses if they do. Plus the oled screen has a pulse to it that was messing with my eyes, I had the X for 2 weeks last year and it was giving me a headache after looking at it for a while. So that’s why I went with the 8 plus.
Sakura01 your all welcome 😂 I actually got the xr a month ago and I like it. I definitely think it’s worth it and my mom has a xs and there is literally no difference, the xs is lighter in weight that’s it and the xr feels more valuable at its weight
The screen in the XR is fine, and most average consumers won’t notice the difference. But Apple should have known tech reviewers would slam the display, because they are anal about specs! So they should have just put at least a 1080p display in it just to shut everyone up!
Technically speaking after hands on with the XR it is very noticeable that the screen is not suitable for this day and age specially for a solid price of £750 you can not defend the phone without having a go on the phone and watching at least 3 different videos on UA-cam... It gets very blurry and has some odd effects even a iPhone 5s display works better then the XR's
CAR SOLUTIONS bought an xr and compared it to a friends xs and in store xs for a few hours today. The xr is definitely not blurry in any way. Xs xr and xs max all default to 1080p on UA-cam with out an option for anything higher on any of them. That’s watching 4K test videos. HDR looks great on the xs models but in no way is the xr bad or blurry.
@@Dan96max225 if you go to my channel and click on the first video I've shown the difference if you could check it out maybe I've got a faulty screen do I need to get a replacement phone or go for a refund?
CAR SOLUTIONS mine doesn’t look like yours. Maybe compare to one in the store and make sure your UA-cam app is set to 1080. Looks like a video set to 480p or something. Could try Netflix or take a 4K video yourself and see what it looks like. Try typing 4K test into UA-cam and play one of those. The difference I saw between my xr and the xs wasn’t huge. The colors were much more noticeable in the comparison then the resolution. Good luck with it.
As a photographer I chose the Xr for the portraits, the reason is very simple. With this single lens you can attach a 58mm moment lens or a wide angle lens and have an incredible portrait which any double lens is not possible
Iris Chen its a good phone. Literally the same as an XS but better. The screen is larger but not too large, the battery lasts longer so it’s perfect. And everyone saying you can’t watch videos in 1080p lying because I literally just watched the whole video in 1080p with my XR
I just got a XS and wasn’t sure if it was a great decision! After using it for about a day now and watching this video I have no regrets it’s so fast and clear and ever feature works amazing
I love my XS Max so far, and it's undoubtedly the best iPhone yet, but the XS is better than the XR in every way and definitely worth the higher price.
It's the camera he's recording the footage on adjusting the exposure to prevent the XS screen blowing out. In reality, the XR won't look the same as it does here but the video does show that the XS screen is brighter.
whats funny is that people care so much about the specs that if apple lied and said it was a 1080p display no one would complain because the screen genuinley looks great and apple have always made 'low speced' screens look amazing because they are apple - this display is probably better than a load of 1080p android displays out there
Stanley Wilder It’s not that the screen is lower quality, it’s because apple charges you $750 for the XR and you can’t even get a 1080p screen. Now trust me, I can find an android phone that cost $400 with an Oled, 1440p display.
Anonymous Yes you can buy a cheaper Android phone with a 2k display. Problem is that, since there are only 2 subpixels per pixel on an OLED, that means that iPhone’s 828 resolution has nearly the same amount of light elements (sub-pixels) as a 2k OLED panel. And iPhone XR has an Apple engineered LCD so it will still be brighter, more color accurate, have better viewing angles, and it offers tap to wake just like an OLED. Also, Apple’s Liquid Retina doesn’t suffer from image retention issues or screen burn ins like OLEDs do. And iPhone is just a better phone than any $500 android phone as it has the fastest GPU in a smartphone and the longest lasting battery life of any smartphone. So iPhone XR is still very much underpriced at only $750 when you consider all the other things it offers, and when you actually learn about the real breakthroughs in this display. The advanced pixel masking for the curved edges and innovative backlight design that allows for an edge to edge liquid crystal display with no full on bottom chin. First of any kind, innovative, engineering methods making it the most advanced liquid crystal display ever on a smartphone.
Just switched from a 32gb iPhone 6s to an IPhone XR 128gb today and I love it. The battery on the XR is such an improvement from before as well as the overall performance
The iPhone XR is to give the iPhone X experience to a wider range of people in all honesty, I would have gotten the Xr had it came out during the same time as the Xs. I ended up getting the Xs which I wished I hadn’t (ik that sounds backwards) but think about it. U get a bigger display and battery and more colors only thing lacking is 3D Touch and a second camera. I could’ve saved $250 but that’s my fault. I tell my friends to get the Xr instead of the Xs all the time
OLED and LCD doesn’t matter to me. Coming from an 8 and comparing my Xs to my moms Xr, it really doesn’t matter. Apple has always been great at their lcd. I like my Xs, I just would’ve liked the Xr display size more. Both are great phones in my opnion
I got an XR, and to be honest it is definitely worth the money in my opinion. The screen was something that bothered me at first, but after looking at it in stores, there isn’t a substantial difference between the XS and this phone. I’d recommend it 100%
nice video but compleltey disagree with u at the end. I just got the xr and i absolutley love it i have no regrets and it definetley feels like a flagship premium phone. The screen is no where near as bad as some youtubers are suggesting and it looks great, i could of got the xs if i wanted but after using the xr for a couple days now i really cant justify and extra 250 for the xs unless you really care about having the best screen ever becasue you might happen to watch a lot of movies or something. I do think that the xs is a slightly better phone than the xr but it is not worth an 250
you can't even watch 1080p videos on your new phone. that's pathetic. but keep trying to justify to yourself that spending $800 on a phone is a great deal
+llgrctps Who the fuck cares? I don't even watch ANY kind of videos on my phone. My phone is my phone. It's meant for calling, texting, setting reminders, occasionally playing games to pass time and an alarm clock among other things. It's not my camera, it's not my go to video watching device either. That's what my dual monitor gaming setup is for..... Seriously, who the hell wants to watch videos on such a fucking tiny screen anyways?!
Mildred Trueba I recently got my XR I only ever charge it to 80% and keep it between the 40% - 80% Range, and by the end of the day, i still have 58% remaining out of the 80% charge it had at the beginning of the day, and I was using it quite frequently. The battery life is amazing.
TeenQonservative the reason it has a better battery life is because the XR has a LCD display compared to an OLED. Which doesn’t use as much power as the XS so therefore you save more battery life.
Hector well it’s more to do that it has a lower resolution display than XS. But Oled displays are actually more efficient in many ways, especially if you apply a black background on your phone, because oled turns off sections of the screen where it is black, that’s how you get those deep black colours.
Seeing the display side by side really helped me, same with seeing how vivid the pictures were and how much better the xs captured natural color. Thanks
The camera is way better on the XS. The telephoto lens gives you so much more versatility when framing distant shots. That was the deal breaker for me.
You lost credibility when you talked bad about the display. It isn't noticeable and it looks just as good as the XS. Go into any apple store compare them side by side and you will find it hard to see the difference.
Apple would have been better off introducing one phone with a plus model. Three phones introduced at one time was a marketing disaster. Also the price is too high, all three phones need to be lowered $100-200. Between creating too much choice /confusion and overpricing Apple has killed their magic. The new phones aren’t moving, I have been by the Apple store three times in the last 10 days and there is zero crowd. Not like past launches. Personally I was leaning towards the XS but have decided to stick with my 6s not enough difference to justify the high price. If the XS was $799 I wouldn’t have even thought about it and would have upgraded. Apple just over did it on the mark-up.
@@_JayyOfficial_ the X has equal externals to the Xs and better than Xr only worse part of the X is that the processor is a generation older than the Xr and Xs. You will notice that way less than the screen
Tomer Butbul wrong again🤦🏽♂️ the X has the A11 Bionic processor while the XS & XR both have A12 bionic chips n the X has the same amount of ram as the XR, the XR also has the most battery life out of ANY iphone including the new XS Max, the Xr also has the latest & strongest glass front & glass back as the XS & XS Max, the Xr also has the newest speakers that are 50% louder than the X & other previous iPhones, the only thing the X has better is that the screen has oled, the XR even has the newest 12 megapixel photo lens as the XS so your statement saying the X is better is WRONG, n to add on the XR even has a 6.1 inch screen compared to the X 5.8 inch screen
Get it, I am using the XR right now. Even though it’s been only 2 days, I can say this in confidence, I DO NOT MISS MY X! It offers me the SAME experience and a similar camera. The screen is nothing short of beautiful. While it might not be OLED, it still presents bright, vibrant and accurate colors. But if you do have an extra $250 to spend, you should not stop yourself from getting the XS
Hai.. i’m from indonesia. I’m not to good in english. But i can very clear translate your review.. very clear,slow and easy to understand.. nicee!!!! I like it. Keep goin and i hope always success for you 🙏🏻
Thanks for the great, detailed review that allowed me to make an informed decision. However, I am going with the Xr. For me the larger screen, greater battery life and mostly equal camera features make it a no brainer to save the $250.
The XS has a larger battery life lmao. Plus the larger screen is plastic and inferior and it looks horrible. The camera does not compare to the xs as well.
As always, your videos are concise and so very logical. I love your reviews and never miss any of them. Thank you for helping us grasp the fundamentals of tech. It's helped us make the best choices.
I recently switched my phone from the 8 plus to the XR and I have buyers remorse. I would’ve been better off keeping my 8 plus because it just feels like I downgraded. The 8 plus screen and picture quality is better than the XR. Which is a shame since this (XR) is the newest model. I love taking photos and there’s a noticeable difference. I find myself struggling to see what’s on my screen. It’s so much darker than the 8 plus. I haven’t played with the XS however this video is great if you want to make the decision on which version to purchase. If you can afford the XS go for it. If you want something less expensive and don’t care about the brightness/resolution go for the XR
The XR is the way to go, after trying out both for a week each. The XR besides being more affordable, it’s stronger and longer battery life (which is the most complained about feature on the iPhone besides iOS being unopen for customization like android) last all day for me in constant use and the camera itself (If you consider yourself a serious photographer knows that any editing can be done in a post photo editing app or computer program if you so need) As far as screen display goes, sure the oled screen is nice on iPhone X and Xs, but i don’t really think anyone requires that type of brightness when your in public and have had perfectly fine screens from iPhone since the iPhone 4 when it’s retina model first came out. The Liquid Retina still has the retina measurements that is above previous models but without sacrificing battery life! There is no longer a need to buy a mophie battery charger case to make it through the day with the XR, and this will save you and any apple elitist who just wants the newest phone even more money and you have even more selections of colors. Truly the best , most practical affordable and stylish, smart decision apple has made with its iPhones since the iPhone 6 and 6 plus. Don’t get suckered in to the Xs or Xs max, unless you really just want and don’t need. But all of us need toilet paper, the iPhone XR is the best toilet paper 2ply charming you can buy, but others WANT a duvet (iPhone XS ) Those people in my opinion , are needlessly entitled and impractical and so if the IPhone XS and IPhone XS. And like toilets, the money you spend flushes down the same drain, but in this case it’s Apples drain.
Stephen Kling I agree I would never spend $1200 or whatever it on a phone. To me battery life is the most important feature of phone which is the reason I’m going with the XR
I appreciate all the comments. I didn’t even watch the video I just read. I went from the X to the XR and I’m pretty satisfied as well. My husband has the MAX but he barely uses the fancy camera and he can’t even notice the screen display difference. (He’s not techy at all). I notice it, but it ain’t worth the extra extra to me. What I do miss is the 3D Touch. I didn’t realize how much I actually used it. It’s not a reason to pay an extra $250, but it was a cool feature.
The XS is no longer sold by Apple. You’ll have to buy it used or refurbished 👎🏼. It’s better to get it unlocked from Apples website. The XS is clearly better but like everyone is saying - the dissatisfaction with the resolution on the XR is pure BS. Like any phone the XR screen gets so bright it hurts your eyes. Going with either one is an Awesome choice.
I have iPhone XR and my sister has XS and my sister said that she regrets getting XS because of there not being a big difference but being cheaper with better battery quality
Can confirm that 3 years later XR runs almost as well as when I first got it. Battery capacity at 84% after heavy use. (For comparison, my gfs 12 pro is at 83% health after 1 year of her owning it.) I’ve never needed more than 64gb, especially with apps like Google Photos (I don’t like iCloud photos) I’m gonna go replace my battery for $89 Canadian, reset my phone and I’ll be good for another couple years for sure.
I got my xr March 2020 and it’s never had any problems. Flew off a roller coaster ride and survived. Had to get screen crack fixed and phone was glitching (touch sensor I think) but got it fixed and was fine but I’m almost always out of storage 64gb with my apps and messages since I was out of country and what not. I loved this phone and battery is at 84% health so that’s pretty solid but my front camera Is half busted. I just need some more space and don’t mind the slightly better camera. Not sure what phone to get now 😅
I had my XR since October 2020 but switched to an XS Max recently as the battery kept draining cause of iOS 17. Even if I had replaced it, the battery most likely would have still drained and the original’s battery health of my iPhone XR’s was 83% after 3 years. The phone was pretty durable but back in June my XR’s LCD became completely damaged that I had to replace the screen with some cheap ass screen that hardly even responds to touch.
Picked up the Xr and it’s fantastic. Came over from android flag ships as found them all the same. Screen is great as is sound and usability. Battery is Stella and I get almost the same juice as my p20 pro
I just need to play clash of clans and wordfued. Either one will be better than my 7. 0 down for the xr, 250 down for the xs. THATS the deal breaker. Lol
what? stainless steel not important? many people change phone because the glass gets shattered, having a stainless steel frame is a huge upgrade and even the telephoto camera and portrait mode are huge improvements

Team XR here. The XR is a great phone. The battery life is amazing, the LCD screen is hardly noticeable, the phone overall is just great.
The thing that really smacks me right in the middle of both of them is that 3D Touch like dang man I have a 7 plus and I’ve come to like that 3D Touch feature why would they take that away?
Jeff Duncan That is something that I was kind of bothered about. Haptic touch is not the same as 3D Touch, but I don’t consider it a big deal.

How's the brightness, esp in direct light?
DK baller Brightness is brilliant, even in direct sunlight
Isnt it like a weak argument anyway. Apple only went OLED like 2 yrs ago on the X and everybody was pretty cool with the iphone screens

Better than android screens how? Given that they have a better resolution and amoled screens also reproduce colours very well
Apple gets their device screens from Samsung so that comparison is invalid.

The XS display is much better than XR though. If you had cared so much about display size you would have gotten the max not XS
Chisom Agbara lmao the XS has OLED display which is wayyy better than XR
Jordan Tan the max was too big, my sisters has that. My mom has the Xr which is just fine. I can use the Xs I just prefer a slightly bigger screen
OLED and LCD doesn’t matter to me. Coming from an 8 and comparing my Xs to my moms Xr, it really doesn’t matter. Apple has always been great at their lcd. I like my Xs, I just would’ve liked the Xr display size more. Both are great phones in my opnion
I got an XR, and to be honest it is definitely worth the money in my opinion. The screen was something that bothered me at first, but after looking at it in stores, there isn’t a substantial difference between the XS and this phone. I’d recommend it 100%
I have the Xs Max. Recommended the Xr to my friends. They won’t miss a single thing, and have just as much fun with their phone.
Should have recommended the iPhone X the xr is a downgrade from that for the same price
It’s not though: better camera, better SoC, larger screen, better battery life..
And the iPhone X was the device with the worst thermal performance I’ve owned in quite a while.
Exactly. Also xr has a better battery life & better Photos. Thats all that matters to me
Tomer Butbul downgrade ? X A11 .XR A12 .
Xs: $900
Xr: $600
Differences: *minuscule*
Me: HmMm WhIcH oNe ShOuLd I gEt???
XR
Man i live in Ukraine and now xs cost 20$ more then xr...
Swagg X r/woooooosh sorry I had to
So you should buy xs dude
xs anyday
nice video but compleltey disagree with u at the end. I just got the xr and i absolutley love it i have no regrets and it definetley feels like a flagship premium phone. The screen is no where near as bad as some youtubers are suggesting and it looks great, i could of got the xs if i wanted but after using the xr for a couple days now i really cant justify and extra 250 for the xs unless you really care about having the best screen ever becasue you might happen to watch a lot of movies or something. I do think that the xs is a slightly better phone than the xr but it is not worth an 250
Stanley Wilder fax
you can't even watch 1080p videos on your new phone. that's pathetic. but keep trying to justify to yourself that spending $800 on a phone is a great deal
+llgrctps
Who the fuck cares? I don't even watch ANY kind of videos on my phone. My phone is my phone. It's meant for calling, texting, setting reminders, occasionally playing games to pass time and an alarm clock among other things. It's not my camera, it's not my go to video watching device either. That's what my dual monitor gaming setup is for..... Seriously, who the hell wants to watch videos on such a fucking tiny screen anyways?!
@@KrestenGiese He's delusional as hell, who using their phone to watch shit on a small screen.
@@KrestenGiese if you only use your phone for basic functionality, why not just buy a fucking Nokia?
4:36 the XR is on night shift and on True Tone so it has the same optimal brightness as the XS.
Prismyy 4:27 night shift and true tone are off and still looks dim / orange
Swift doesn’t look dim or orange but I figured that the brightness is still a bit lower when both phones are on max brightness
Why?
Swift i have an iPhone XR and it doesn’t look orange
Swift just turned my True Tone off and it’s bright as hell
The screen is a huge difference, LCD vs OLED is like comparing a printed image to physically seeing the scene
iPhone XR Is The Winner Because the Battery Ilfe It is Up to 25 Hours OMg! 😍
Mildred Trueba only with rare use
Mildred Trueba I recently got my XR I only ever charge it to 80% and keep it between the 40% - 80% Range, and by the end of the day, i still have 58% remaining out of the 80% charge it had at the beginning of the day, and I was using it quite frequently. The battery life is amazing.
Mildred Trueba Well thats just battery life, XS is better overall
TeenQonservative the reason it has a better battery life is because the XR has a LCD display compared to an OLED. Which doesn’t use as much power as the XS so therefore you save more battery life.
Hector well it’s more to do that it has a lower resolution display than XS. But Oled displays are actually more efficient in many ways, especially if you apply a black background on your phone, because oled turns off sections of the screen where it is black, that’s how you get those deep black colours.
Seeing the display side by side really helped me, same with seeing how vivid the pictures were and how much better the xs captured natural color. Thanks
10:33 I thought he was about to say “and get the F away from the Xr!” Lol
Ikr😭😭😂😂
@@ariess7394 😂
The camera is way better on the XS. The telephoto lens gives you so much more versatility when framing distant shots. That was the deal breaker for me.
People: imagine being in 2020 with a 6😂
Me:I can😗😭
I have a 5s 🤫😂
I’m also bro
meanwhile I got the 11
Ana Capinha oohhh nyc
I was but i just got a xr
Got an Xs and have no regrets. It feels like a big leap from my 6s
You lost credibility when you talked bad about the display. It isn't noticeable and it looks just as good as the XS. Go into any apple store compare them side by side and you will find it hard to see the difference.
@@sakitech The iPhone XR display is no worse than that of iPhone 8 from previous year. Funnily none complained about that display.
@@sakitech dude nice response.
Robert C the display definitely doesn’t look as good lol. I went into Verizon the other day and the display looks like ass
sakitech - Wow, your response was very unprofessional. Unsubscribing.
@@sakitech oof if I was subscribed to you, I would unsubscribe solely because of your childish response
Apple would have been better off introducing one phone with a plus model. Three phones introduced at one time was a marketing disaster. Also the price is too high, all three phones need to be lowered $100-200. Between creating too much choice /confusion and overpricing Apple has killed their magic. The new phones aren’t moving, I have been by the Apple store three times in the last 10 days and there is zero crowd. Not like past launches. Personally I was leaning towards the XS but have decided to stick with my 6s not enough difference to justify the high price. If the XS was $799 I wouldn’t have even thought about it and would have upgraded. Apple just over did it on the mark-up.
I love my XR. The battery is amazing and the display is fine lol
I'll go with Xr display is not a big deal
Get an X it is better in almost every way for the same price
Tomer Butbul this statement is wrong for so many reasons
@@_JayyOfficial_ the X has equal externals to the Xs and better than Xr only worse part of the X is that the processor is a generation older than the Xr and Xs. You will notice that way less than the screen
Tomer Butbul wrong again🤦🏽♂️ the X has the A11 Bionic processor while the XS & XR both have A12 bionic chips n the X has the same amount of ram as the XR, the XR also has the most battery life out of ANY iphone including the new XS Max, the Xr also has the latest & strongest glass front & glass back as the XS & XS Max, the Xr also has the newest speakers that are 50% louder than the X & other previous iPhones, the only thing the X has better is that the screen has oled, the XR even has the newest 12 megapixel photo lens as the XS so your statement saying the X is better is WRONG, n to add on the XR even has a 6.1 inch screen compared to the X 5.8 inch screen
Get it, I am using the XR right now. Even though it’s been only 2 days, I can say this in confidence, I DO NOT MISS MY X! It offers me the SAME experience and a similar camera. The screen is nothing short of beautiful. While it might not be OLED, it still presents bright, vibrant and accurate colors. But if you do have an extra $250 to spend, you should not stop yourself from getting the XS
Hai.. i’m from indonesia. I’m not to good in english. But i can very clear translate your review.. very clear,slow and easy to understand.. nicee!!!! I like it. Keep goin and i hope always success for you 🙏🏻
actually your english is good enough bro :D
iPhone 5-> XS ✨ the upgrade 💯
Kamilah Rose 🌹 iphone 6 to xs tomorrow
How was it? Is it ok? Cuz im getting mine soon
Watching this on xs, chose this because of small form factor. Love the xs ❤️❤️🇮🇳
Thanks for the great, detailed review that allowed me to make an informed decision. However, I am going with the Xr. For me the larger screen, greater battery life and mostly equal camera features make it a no brainer to save the $250.
The XS has a larger battery life lmao. Plus the larger screen is plastic and inferior and it looks horrible. The camera does not compare to the xs as well.
Lmao plastic junk xR
Have fun with ur 720p screen 😂
@@jankxnz. he's bored
Xr is like using a 5 it’s plastic
I’m upgrading to a iPhone XR from a iPhone 7 I’m so exited 😃
Tell me more did u like it did u regret it cause I have 7 plus can’t decide between lol xr Xs and Xs max
Hands down to the best review I have ever watched. Simple, precise, informative and straightforward. 👏
As always, your videos are concise and so very logical. I love your reviews and never miss any of them. Thank you for helping us grasp the fundamentals of tech. It's helped us make the best choices.
Going from Xr to 14 Pro Max this year. Xr past 3 years and a half has been nothing but a beast for me.
Can I comment if I'm using iPhone 4?
No.
LMFAOOO
Go head and comment
Minimum you have to have the 3gs or higher so you’re good
You must be in africa
Thank you for this breakdown, because I was utterly confused.
I have a iPhone 6 just ordered XS it seems a little better than the XR
Getting XR for Christmas 😊😊😊
Mario Ibarra me too! I’m so impatient though.
nah you will get samsung j3
Sameeeee
Just bought my wife her iphone xr
Freddy Magdaleno what color did you get her? Trying to decide myself for my wife!
Had 5s for 5 years and upgraded to xs and its a whole new universe xd
I still have the 5s and I want to get the xs as well 😂
@@jessieconti6616 how was it? Is it good? Cuz im getting mine soon
I just ordered a iPhone XS yesterday and i am very excited for it to come.
The way he talks makes me smarter
Watching this from XR, I upgraded from iphone 8 and its great!
Bro I'm stuck between the xs and the xr
I was thinking about the xs max
But I've got a 7 plus so I can use that for movies etc
Spankyyy I think you should buy XR, Its working really good for me.
OlikS Agario thanks bro
You had WarmTone for the display, 🤦♂️

XR is in night shift 😂
no it’s not 5:40
just got xr, upgraded from 6
Man I have a iPhone 6s. My dad won’t get me a new phone so I’ve been trying to get a job to get the xr. can’t wait 😁
I always love your reviews! Thank you for bringing this to us Saki !
I recently switched my phone from the 8 plus to the XR and I have buyers remorse. I would’ve been better off keeping my 8 plus because it just feels like I downgraded. The 8 plus screen and picture quality is better than the XR. Which is a shame since this (XR) is the newest model. I love taking photos and there’s a noticeable difference. I find myself struggling to see what’s on my screen. It’s so much darker than the 8 plus. I haven’t played with the XS however this video is great if you want to make the decision on which version to purchase. If you can afford the XS go for it. If you want something less expensive and don’t care about the brightness/resolution go for the XR
Xr actually has a better camera, its just the environment you are at most of the time, and it can be the screen too
When you were comparing the screens you actually had a warm lighting effect on the X-RAY that is why it looks not as sharp
The XR is the way to go, after trying out both for a week each. The XR besides being more affordable, it’s stronger and longer battery life (which is the most complained about feature on the iPhone besides iOS being unopen for customization like android) last all day for me in constant use and the camera itself (If you consider yourself a serious photographer knows that any editing can be done in a post photo editing app or computer program if you so need)
As far as screen display goes, sure the oled screen is nice on iPhone X and Xs, but i don’t really think anyone requires that type of brightness when your in public and have had perfectly fine screens from iPhone since the iPhone 4 when it’s retina model first came out. The Liquid Retina still has the retina measurements that is above previous models but without sacrificing battery life!
There is no longer a need to buy a mophie battery charger case to make it through the day with the XR, and this will save you and any apple elitist who just wants the newest phone even more money and you have even more selections of colors. Truly the best , most practical affordable and stylish, smart decision apple has made with its iPhones since the iPhone 6 and 6 plus.
Don’t get suckered in to the Xs or Xs max, unless you really just want and don’t need. But all of us need toilet paper, the iPhone XR is the best toilet paper 2ply charming you can buy, but others WANT a duvet (iPhone XS ) Those people in my opinion , are needlessly entitled and impractical and so if the IPhone XS and IPhone XS.
And like toilets, the money you spend flushes down the same drain, but in this case it’s Apples drain.
Stephen Kling this was a very good analogy 👏🏿
Write when I clicked on replies there was a charming toilet paper ad
Stephen Kling I agree I would never spend $1200 or whatever it on a phone. To me battery life is the most important feature of phone which is the reason I’m going with the XR
I thought your last name was King, until I actually noticed the letter l in there. :-)
I think it’s important to mention for people with big photo and video albums that the XS goes up to 512g of memory. The XR maxes out at half that.
I got the iPhone XS today and I love it, it is amazing
Next year's iPhone budget display will be a chalkboard. Chalk not included
side by side from this video the screen don't even look bad going to pick up the black one
kease it’ll be harder to differentiate screens just by looking thru the screen of ur phone. Check them out at ur carrier. You’ll notice a difference.
I like the xs more because its smaller and it’ll fit in my pocket, also the xs is way more clear and has more pixels
I've been saving for a while can't wait to get my xr cuz I already have airpods anyway
Thank you for this video as it helped decide the XS was the best option for me.
Bought a Xr last year at release but still using my old 6s. It's size, button and head phone jack makes it more user friendly than the Xr.
Buy airpods then
I dont notice much in speed difference but i sure notice on the color. XS color is just so superb
I’ll save u time the whole vid is some guy bigging up the Xs
I appreciate all the comments. I didn’t even watch the video I just read. I went from the X to the XR and I’m pretty satisfied as well. My husband has the MAX but he barely uses the fancy camera and he can’t even notice the screen display difference. (He’s not techy at all). I notice it, but it ain’t worth the extra extra to me. What I do miss is the 3D Touch. I didn’t realize how much I actually used it. It’s not a reason to pay an extra $250, but it was a cool feature.
ugh i am really undecided...idk which one should i get
Ciro xr 💯
Xs looks better from back
The XS is no longer sold by Apple. You’ll have to buy it used or refurbished 👎🏼. It’s better to get it unlocked from Apples website. The XS is clearly better but like everyone is saying - the dissatisfaction with the resolution on the XR is pure BS. Like any phone the XR screen gets so bright it hurts your eyes. Going with either one is an Awesome choice.
Just Got An Xr 128gb, upgrading from iPhone 6s 32gb
Same except mine is my iPhone 6s is 64gb, how are you liking it so far? I am suppose to pick mine up soon, what color did you get? I am getting blue
I have iPhone XR and my sister has XS and my sister said that she regrets getting XS because of there not being a big difference but being cheaper with better battery quality
Can confirm that 3 years later XR runs almost as well as when I first got it. Battery capacity at 84% after heavy use. (For comparison, my gfs 12 pro is at 83% health after 1 year of her owning it.) I’ve never needed more than 64gb, especially with apps like Google Photos (I don’t like iCloud photos) I’m gonna go replace my battery for $89 Canadian, reset my phone and I’ll be good for another couple years for sure.
I got my xr March 2020 and it’s never had any problems. Flew off a roller coaster ride and survived. Had to get screen crack fixed and phone was glitching (touch sensor I think) but got it fixed and was fine but I’m almost always out of storage 64gb with my apps and messages since I was out of country and what not. I loved this phone and battery is at 84% health so that’s pretty solid but my front camera Is half busted. I just need some more space and don’t mind the slightly better camera. Not sure what phone to get now 😅
I had my XR since October 2020 but switched to an XS Max recently as the battery kept draining cause of iOS 17. Even if I had replaced it, the battery most likely would have still drained and the original’s battery health of my iPhone XR’s was 83% after 3 years. The phone was pretty durable but back in June my XR’s LCD became completely damaged that I had to replace the screen with some cheap ass screen that hardly even responds to touch.
Thanks for this video. It covered all my questions. I'm buying a Xs tonight.
I bought iPhone XR. I have no complaints . It is awesome and I don’t miss anything as I don’t use other features like hd display or anythjng
For the price xr is better but overall the xs is better
where's the iphone 8 gang at?

Picked up the Xr and it’s fantastic. Came over from android flag ships as found them all the same. Screen is great as is sound and usability. Battery is Stella and I get almost the same juice as my p20 pro
I just need to play clash of clans and wordfued.
Either one will be better than my 7.
0 down for the xr, 250 down for the xs.
THATS the deal breaker. Lol
I found this vid VERY helpful. Thank you!!

Pretty sure you kept night shift on for the XR during the full brightness comparison?
Or it could be the reduced white point.
@sakitech Very well explained.. Thanks
Still rockin my damaged battery, broken finger print scanner iPhone 6s
Thank you! Very nice clear and detailed video with the right amount of tech specs.
what? stainless steel not important? many people change phone because the glass gets shattered, having a stainless steel frame is a huge upgrade and even the telephoto camera and portrait mode are huge improvements
Watching from my gold xs upgraded from a 7 plus, screen size is way better
