I thought iPhone XR had a 6.1” screen. I measured mine as about 5.75”. Anyone know why?

The iPhone 11 display has rounded corners that follow a beautiful curved design, and these corners are within a standard rectangle. When measured as a standard rectangular shape, the screen is 6.06 inches diagonally (actual viewable area is less).

 
Because the bezel is included in Apple’s display measurement.
 
Measure the screen's length and width, then use this formula.

SS = screen size
L = Length
W = Width

SS = sqrt (L^2 + W^2)

Should come out to be around 6.1 inches.
