Hardly. A $750 iPhone is a poor man’s XS? It shares almost a lot of the same features as the iPhone XS with a similar form factor, Face ID, A12 processor, wireless charging, etc. I don’t think your statement classifies as anything as ‘Poor’.
That doesn't stop people from doing it though. Can you imagine being friends with someone who does that though? Must be miserable, but fortunately no one in my circle of friends is that shallow.
My neighbor, who is an active Podiatrist, makes well over 1 million a year and uses a cracked iPhone 5s. Which there is _no_way you can establish someone’s net worth over which iPhone they use, but apparently some tend to believe someone else’s precedence is defined by what iPhone you own, even when the XR is a solid, All-around device.
I do think the XR is exactly what Apple should have introduced last year with 2017 iPhone X, but nonetheless, I think this one will do really well into the holidays are upon us.

Love the phone except for the bezel. For some reason it seems more pronounced on this phone than the XS. Is there a technical reason with the LCD display or is it just a marketing differentiator to make the XS seem better?
Even after all the yellow screens with color shifting? I'd never buy an OLED after seeing how trashy they are., The XR will have lower pixel density, but I doubt it'll have a meaningful impact on anyones life. So far reviewers have said screen looks gorgeous. I'm in for XR, despite being able to afford any phone.
What a dumb comment.
I’m still using an iPhone 7+ because I’m not an idiot and don’t fall for marketing every year.
Depending on your time zone, pre-orders start tonight at midnight Pacific time Through Apple/and carriers.
After watching the Tyler Stalman video, I'm definitely pre-ordering tonight. Screen sounds great, which was the big worry I had.
Maybe this is a good time to define hyperbole.
Srsly, the size of the XR and XR Max aren't that bad.
As if any of these Apple hand picked early reviewers are going to mention one bad thing about the device.
These vids are just more Apple marketing. No different than ads.
Wait until real people (not on Apple's A list) use the XR and lets see what they say.

I just ordered another 7+ 128gb instead and giving my old 7+ to my mother. I'd rather stab myself in the eyeballs than pay apple for a phone with an annoying notch, lower pixel density and no home button. No idea wtf i'm going to do in 2 years when i need to buy a new phone, i think i'll move to Android. The new iphones are absolute garbage.
People are not fools for having different criteria than you. And most important having different size wallet
Ditto. I believe that is the case; Apple's Xr marketing mentions the LCD being a "Liquid Retina" display with "An innovative backlight design [that] allows the screen to stretch into the corners." I think the backlight has been a hindrance to trimming down the bezels without switching to OLED.
I’m buying 10 To sell you don’t know how much people would buy these for the same features as the iPhone X’s
Thanks for sharing. Run along now!
You do realize the Xr has the same pixel density of the iPhone 7/8, right? And virtually no one complains about it, myself include (I use an 8). As for the no home button and notch, you're just fighting the future, it's the way all phone are going. I'd rather have a notch, than a big chin/forehead, or both. If you switch to a mid range Android, to get a home button, you might be disappointed if you're coming from an iPhone, from a performance perspective. But hey, whatever floats your boat.
Yeah, it is. Out of the 10 or so XS Max;'s I've seen in person, maybe one of them met my expectations for color uniformity and temperature. Looks way worse than my iPhone 8+. Sorry, I just dont buy the hype when it comes to OLED. Its trash.
But enjoy paying more for junk.
