Apple Reveals 'iPhone XR' With 6.1-Inch Liquid Retina LCD Display and Six Color Options Starting at $749

best LCD EVER IN A SMARTPHONE (NOT even 1080p) ! it might be yea, but apple is the greediest company, even cheap android plastic bombers from china come with an oled. Hello Tim it's 2018 and it's a f**** 750$ device, penny pinching on point

Well over an 8+, it's smaller, lighter, and has a much bigger screen, along with a faster processor. Seems like every bit of an improvement as the X was over the 7+, but quite a bit cheaper. If it was released at the same time, I'd get this over the Max. FaceID alone is just so much better than touch ID, especially when using gloves or having wet or dirty fingers. I've come to hate touch ID on my work 7.

Can you watch 16:9, or actually 1.85:1 without letterboxing it barely visible letterboxing? Then it is not every bit of an improvement. The notch certainly isn’t an improvement at all taking a chunk of space away. FaceID is not better than touchID. What if you don’t want to unlock the phone but just look at notifcations?

It works better for you and that’s good but that doesn’t mean that everyone likes these changes.

iPhone XS:
Smaller, Thinner, Lighter

iPhone XR:
Bigger, Thicker, Heavier
$750

Actually, the XR is lighter than the XS.

Agree. Tim Cook, as you said, priority is the investor not the customers who buy the products. This is very clear to anyone.
And don't forget, as Apple has, the mac mini with 4 year old specs selling at new prices.

I do NOT understand why would Apple still have the Mac Mini and Mac Pro still in the Apple stire website.
I do not believe they sell a single unit. Have to be really dum to buy a 5 year old computer at today prices.

Then you can... when you unlock the notifications don’t go away?

God if face id works better in new models I’ll sell my hated iP X and buy a new one, I’m sick of face id failing. So so sick

You are completely wrong. It's obvious R stands for Retina for that high end 6.1' display modelled to please Apple board members retinas of average age of 60+

All joking aside XR sounds more flagship than Xs but more importantly I think they have got themselves pinned into the corner with the naming. What comes after Xs? X1? X11? XI? 11?

It's not the best LCD ever but I'm sure it will perform better than X/Xs OLED display which has really hard time making white pure white unless you crank up the brightness to eye bleeding levels. Have you ever seen RGB bleed in X bezels? That's a bonus to get trippy real quick.

Why would anyone get the XS instead of this? Aren’t they virtually the same except for the screen resolution?

I would get the Xs (if I could afford it lol) because the X form factor feels better in my hand and is about as large as I’m willing to go. Not everyone likes bigger phones. Xr will be too large for my needs

next one will cost 1499 and would be named iPhone XD

Apple is really out to lunch on this pricing - but you can't blame them - if people were 'happy' to pay $999 why not push it to $1100

They’re saving that for next years model — the iPhone 11(00), for the starting price of the new models.
