This is an LCD screen. It has a backlight. The backlight is in the bezels.
I know...
Doesn't mean I have to like it, though.

I don't get the noise around this. It's a cheap version of iPhone X/Xs. Seriously....
iPad Pro has a 264ppi and looks fantastic....Because the experience has been terrible for landscape home screen, at least for me. I’m sure somebody in Apple felt that too.

The front is a truth depth camera system for Face ID.

So many people said they love their iPhone 8 and will not be upgrading in a century. And that iPhone 8 has the same PPI as the iPhone XR. The hate on the XR screen is unfounded and irrational.
I'm just back from local Apple Store and had a long play with them. Beautiful phones. Screen resolution is an absolute non issue. But I have a 6S Plus and the deal breaker for me is how significantly narrower the screen is. ... I am just too used to the dimensions of the plus size display. I think I've decided I'm going to choose the 8 Plus 256GB over the XR 128gb. But that's just me.
Couldn't disagree more. Not counting pre-2018 models: highest starting price ever ($750), highest top-end price ever ($1450), largest phones ever with no smaller option, and (of course) every one has that appalling notch (yes, it still sucks and always will, no matter how models they make with it).A great position for the consumer, real choices depending on your needs/wants.
faceid sensors?How come the front camera can do portrait for anything, but the back can't? The front must be software as well surely?
It has the same ppi as last year’s $699 iPhone 8, which is an excellent display. You’re right though, it’s not a budget phone. It’s a mid-priced tier with the top tier features people care most about.The Xr has lower ppi than the Plus models: it’s 326 just like on the iPhone 6 released 4 years ago.
I don’t think it’s hate. The phone is priced at $750 before tax. It’s not really a budget phone. They could’ve equipped it with the Plus screen ppi.
It won't if the market continues this erratic trading.
AMZN bad, GOOGL bad...
The Xr and Apple will do well, but we need the market up too.
Not as nice as the bezels on older devices, but still looks better than the X/s.The bezels...the bezels!
Those nails gave me the nerves!
Cool! Thanks for the updateLooking good!
Definitely need to check it out before I pull the trigger on XS even though I can get a pretty great deal on XS by paying around $600 or XR for just a few hundred bucks.
Strange then, wonder why the new ones don't.
Yeah. It's 3.5mm narrower than the + phones. I too have a 6S+ and desperately want to get the biggest screen possible, but I'm not shelling out 150,000 yen for the 256Max if it has reception problems that may or may not get rectified.
So here's hoping they fix the issues, but if they don't, I will sacrifice the screen width for a year with an XR then sell it and upgrade to a Max next year.
I don't get that comparison at all. It's not like the XR is any less expensive than Apple's previous flagship phones. It's a nice phone, I guess – as it should be considering Apple's asking price – but it's not going to attract any new customers. Nor does it seem particularly attractive to anyone who was waiting for Apple to release a smaller phone.
Yeah. It's a tough one. I asked this in another thread but no answer, so I'll ask here. Can the Pixel 3 do the portrait mode beyond faces with its back camera? If so, then there is no reason why the XR can't. If it can't, then that makes it less likely that Apple will intro it down the track with an update (if they ever would...)
Yeah I found that weird, however I guess it’s because Face ID only works in portrait. Apps have landscape mode like their old Plus size counterparts just not the home screen.No, and neither does the Max.
Bezels are huge and ugly.
I'm not understanding why people are saying "I hope it sells well". Why? To reward Apple marketing for gimping the screen? The best thing that could possibly happen to the XR (for us consumers next year) is for it to be an utter sales bomb. That would teach the smartypants in Apple marketing department not to mess with the screen next time around.
But yeah- The current XR will still sell by the millions and millions and millions

The iPad Pro is viewed from much further away. More importantly the iPad doesn’t have such a low resolution.iPad Pro has a 264ppi and looks fantastic....
The 8 is a lot smaller than the Xr and 720p is ok on a 4.7 inch display.It has the same ppi as last year’s $699 iPhone 8, which is an excellent display. You’re right though, it’s not a budget phone. It’s a mid-priced tier with the top tier features people care most about.
If ppi is one of the top tier features that’s important to you, get the XS or XS Max, not the XR. Using the 326 ppi LCD display is one of the ways Apple pared $250 off the price.
