I guess if you have an OLED screen you're not an average user. Also, is your last sentence a question? I'm a little confused.
Got a tip for us?

If you’re on here you’re not the average user. Not a question probably just pushed it vs a period
That's the difference between you and me. You like the phone screen... I prefer OLED on my 65" screen that I use for movies and gaming in my home theater and could give 2 ****s about it on a 6 inch phone screen that I use for texting, FB and web surfing.
You don't have to sell me on OLED bro... I own one but still don't consider it a pressing need on a phone.
Later...
Here are some size comparisons of editing space/size in Lightroom.
For me, coming from the xs Max, the xr represents an upgrade. It's the first iPhone in ages that I haven't had buyer's remorse with.
The xr occupies a sweet spot in terms of screen size between the xs/x and the xs Max.
Also, whilst the oled has better blacks, the LCD has better whites and most web pages are white. The screen is also better than the oled xs/xs Max when viewed outside/sunlight.
Add to all that the xr is cheaper and has an interesting choice of colours...

There is no night and day difference.
Im fishing? If I’m fishing then you lack self awareness! All of a sudden Apple offers a more affordable version of the X and some of you want to sit on your high horse. You sound ridiculous. You X/Xmax users sound just as bad as the Android users who love to try and talk down to Apple users. You’re arguing about what screen is better when both have their pros and cons.

That’s an opinion, not a fact. You know that right? Everyone’s situation is different.

I waited until the XR came out before I bought the iPhone. I bought the Max instead because I thought it was better. I haven't regretted my decision.
Funny... OLED is jacking the colors up for this image. Raw edited and sync’d image from a Fuji X-T2.
Yes. The XR has Standard and Zoomed mode. It also has Reachability which is nice.
if you have the eyes of stevie wonder then no but if you have decent eyes then yes there is
Ok, but there are people that are on here that are interested in the XR so I’d consider this phone for more than the average user. Not everyone loves OLED screens. It’s personal preference.
Sticking with the Max, wider display matching the plus models before it and HDR screen. Xr is a step backwards in this regards, back before the displays of the 8 and 8plus.
It turns out that the iPhone 8, 8 Plus and iPad Pro were able to support HDR content via dithering and Apple have merely removed HDR from the description to differentiate these devices and the Xr from the X, XS and XS MAX which can natively display HDR video. So the screen on the Xr is the same quality as the 8.

In darker conditions the dual lens iphones prioritise the wide angle lens + plus digital zoom over the telephoto lens so the performance between XR and XS is probably identical. In good light the XS second lens has its advantage
Yep. That’s. Good upgrade for you.

Yes there is a difference. The screen on the Xr is clearly superior.
This isn’t true especially the 8 with same
Ppi. In no way is Xr screen a step backwards from that
Why do you say that? How can a 5/6 to an XR not be a good upgrade? Especially considering the XR is for people who don't want to shell out 1k+, which is exactly what next year's new phones will be.
Not necessarily as data from both lenses is used for a single image & that doesn’t always go well.
Left is XR, right is XS.
Photo was taken with a Fuji X-T2 in Raw format. I edited the image. The image displayed is the same image, with the same edits displayed on the XR and XS.
