That defeats the purpose. It still looks like it takes away from the color popping and is glossy. But hey, you like what you like

Yeah, people have different tastes don’t they. The world is a very strange place :)
 
Yup. But all mobile phone are toys. Although some people need bigger more expensive toys because they have small...

Socks?o_O

You seem really bothered by choices other people make and that are basically non of your concern.

It’s non of there concern that I decide to pay more for the max but I’m still hearing how stupid it is. So how about you leave us to our complaining and you keep to ur self!
 
So it’s been a few days now since the XR was released!
Wondering if anyone who preordered without seeing has ended up changing their mind for a different colour?
I went with yellow, which I LOVE but I keep thinking about the blue.

I was going to go and check it out at the  store but I think if anything that could just be one big recipe for disaster!!

Anyone disappointed with their original choice and swapped out?

I also have yellow and I like it, saw blue in store and found it’s little light blue, I prefer darker blue. I have last years 8 in white/silver so the white in XR wasn’t not my choice at all. If I change color that would definitely be red.

You got it on a loan. I can't see anything smart in that. But you probably are of a different view. Non of my business anyway.
 
Wanted blue but wanted to see it first. No display model and they can't open to let you see it. I really didn't want to chance hating it after seeing it so I was going to go with safe black. But really wanted something different from every other phone I have owned. Chose white. Perfectly happy with it.

My girlfriend wanted yellow but they were oos until the end of November. She went with red and loves it. Being in the medical field the Product cause helped her decision.
 
Because we didn't pay over a grand and like to have something with a little personality. And let's not forget our ghetto displays.

It is an absurd comment. I bought a Max and bought an Xr too because I love the colors! I used my Mac and my xr yesterday and there is nothing shameful about the xr screen. So far it is an awesome phone!!!!

I 100% agree. Have zero buyers remorse. The XR is an awesome phone and does everything I need and want it to do.

I went from white to blue. Love it. Although I do wish it was a more royal blue. I will take this though.
 
I'd suggest watching XR screen reviews...everyone loves them. Even in blind tests they are beating out 1080p phone screens.

Yup that's what people need to do. And carry their butts into the store to see for themselves. In all honesty I have seen more people impressed or surprised with the display than ones disappointed.

I checked out the colours in the Apple store today and was realllly surprised at how much I liked the black XR.

I had automatically dismissed it but I actually think it's really clean.
I'm struggling a bit with my yellow to get a decent wallpaper outside the stock one (I know you don't see the front and back at the same time), and the gold edges throw some of them off a bit and makes it look a bit garish.

I love the yellow back, and I love the phone itself it's just made me wonder now whether I should swap out for black for that clean look.
Plus, I can see me maybe tiring of the bold colour in time, that's my only concern.
 
I have the yellow which I love and will likely keep. It was a toss up between yellow and white. Coral was little too pink for my masculinity:)

Do none of you use cases? Boy is Apple repair going to love you guys!
Caudabe Clear. Barely visible on a yellow iPhone. I got one for my red 8 Plus and the color doesn’t show through quite as well, so I’m glad I went with a bright light color for my Xr.

I’m absolutely thrilled with Pikachu yellow. I’m a fan of Pokémon Go, too. So this color suits me. As does the red of my 8 Plus.

Over the years I’ve already had black and gray phones. Three white iPhones. Blue Samsung. 2 Purple Samsung’s. White Pixel 2. 2 red phones, one being an HTC10 and the other an 8 Plus.

So for me it was between coral and yellow. I think coral is prettier, but yellow goes better with the case colors I prefer. I’ve got a nice red Ringke case for when I am tired of clear cases and yellow all the time.

I have no intention of swapping colors, though. Cases, yes. Phone, no.

So glad I went with white. So clean. Love it. No regrets whatsoever. Still think it's the nicest colour by far and I've had all colours in hand. I like the blue too, but I just know it won't last. In the end it doesn't really matter that much. There's always a black case.
 
Well I wanted blue, but accidentally selected Coral. However, after I received the iPhone XR from UPS and seeing the color in person that I have to say I really like the color. I call my iPhone XR the "orange" and say I have the thinnest orange in my pocket. ;)

Yup, love a toy phone for $850..
This is truly condescending. It honestly degrades your credibility, which many place value on.

I’ve tested the XR & XS extensively.. more than most of the ‘professional’ reviewers and they are both amazing devices, in all facets.. hardware and software.
