One of the more impressive ips I’ve ever seen to be honest.Yep I’m aware of that, which is why I mentioned I prefer IPS. Even then I wasn’t impressed with the XR screen relative to its msrp.

but those iphone have small screens not 6'1It's the same ppi as the iPhone 6/7/8 so that's a good comparison if you had one of those phones
Ok I’m gonna give you my honest review. I bought the xs max and then a few weaks the xr used. When opening emails with pdfs the PDFs are blurry at small font where as the xs max it’s still clear. There’s wasn’t a fussiness to it. Great phone though but that’s my observation.Hi there ..
I am going to buy an Iphone 11 but i wanna ask about the screen
I usually read texts on my phone so will I face any issues with the resolution ? should i excpect a blurry text ?
but those iphone have small screens not 6'1
Makes no difference sharpness wise. The 11 screen is exactly as sharp as the iPhone 8.
Dosn't matter, that's why there is the term "ppi": pixel per inch. Even a 100 inch screen with 326 ppi would have the same sharpness a a 1 inch screen with 326 ppi.but those iphone have small screens not 6'1
I’ve currently got an 8+ and I can’t say I’ve noticed a big difference between the screen on that and the iPhone 11, despite looking for it.The iPhone XR/11 is less sharp to my eye than the Plus iPhones, the XS, and the XS Max.
It’s not bad, and impossible to notice at arm’s length, but it becomes more noticeable the closer it is. It also depends on font size and font, because very small fonts are the problem. It’s not an issue with larger font sizes. Unfortunately, once I’ve noticed the differences, I can’t un-notice them. Could I live with the 11? Yes, but I didn’t want to compromise. The reason I still have a 7 Plus is because the 11 is a screen downgrade and the Pro Max is ridiculously priced.
All that said, I bought a XR for the wife, and she is happy with it, which isn’t a surprise since she was coming from the 6s, which has the same pixel density.
Depends on viewing distance too. At arm’s length I find it impossible to notice. I don’t usually notice a big problem at 18 inches either although I could tell the difference if I really tried. It’s easier to notice at closer distances. I can notice it at about 12 inches or so.I’ve currently got an 8+ and I can’t say I’ve noticed a big difference between the screen on that and the iPhone 11, despite looking for it.
Zooming in should make fonts clearer, not blurrier, unless by “zooming in” you mean you look at the screen from a closer distance.I don’t find it blurry at all. I had the XR, and now the 11, and both look great. Comparing them side by side with my daughter’s XS I found no real noticeable difference unless I zoomed in a lot.
OK, this pic below is 8 vs 8 Plus. Not the perfect comparison, but it does illustrate what I'm talking about, since the iPhone 8 has the same pixel density as the XR, and the Plus has a higher pixel density as do the OLEDs.

Is your intent to show the two look identical? I’m assuming so because if I zoom in as far as the phone will let me, put it 5 inches from my face, I notice zero difference between the two. Not one other than the yellow hue of the one vs blue hue of the other. Text looks identical zoomed, un-zoomed, 12 inches or 5 inches away.
It’s probably just my eyes. I’m looking at it on the pro max and just can’t seem to see it. But I don’t doubt that you can. You seem very fair and I trust you can see the differences.If it looks identical to you then great. The XR/11 is perfect for you from that standpoint then.
If you don't see it, then don't try to see it anymore. Consider yourself lucky.
Well, that's not a great picture for this either. The fonts were standard size, where the differences are less pronounced. At those sizes I can make out the differences, but it's not that big of a deal. It's a bigger deal when the fonts are smaller.It’s probably just my eyes. I’m looking at it on the pro max and just can’t seem to see it. But I don’t doubt that you can. You seem very fair and I trust you can see the differences.
Probably why the screen quality is absolutely fine for me then. None of those examples relate to me.Depends on viewing distance too. At arm’s length I find it impossible to notice.

At 6 inches away I find the XR awful in comparison but most people don’t look at phones from 6 inches away of course. However, in bed I might sometimes since I’m nearsighted and I need the phone close if I don’t have my glasses on. If I get a text after I’ve gone to bed for example I may just grab the phone and quickly look at it... from 6 inches away... instead of scrambling around in the dark for my glasses.
BTW, with regards to glasses: People say average vision is 20/20, but my understanding is that average refers to older adults. For young adults and teens, 20/15 vision is relatively common. Furthermore, it’s common for those with glasses to have their vision corrected to about 20/15. This is when the screen differences can be noticeable, at closer viewing distances.
