iPhone XR iPhone XR screen size incorrect.

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.

When you replace the screen, does the bezel come with it? It's a 6.1" screen.

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.

the old trick is that if you measure something and its under 6 inches, you round up to 6 inches

I'm sure you round up when you measure your unit 😉
