Other iPhone XR vs XS Max

[asoksevil]

Is the iPhone XR the one to get if you are looking for a bigger screen, longer battery and cheaper price?

The XR seems to be a really good compromise on the things missed for the couple of hundreds more XS Max.

While I reckon that the screen of XS max is better, for the amount of dollars you are saving seems worthy.

Besides if you want to get the physical dual SIM your only choices are the XS max or XR.

Yes. As mentioned in other threads, the Xr has the same amount of screen info as the Max. The screen on the Xr has a lower pixel density, but it's still relatively decent. If you like the screen on the iPhone 7 or 8, then you'll like the screen on the Xr, because they have the exact same pixel density.

Can you link the other posts where they talk about this?

Apple Specs indicates the XS is dual sim too. Did I miss something? I didn't realize XR was dual sim.

It is dual sim but one is e sim. With the Chinese XS Max and XR they were all physical dual sim.

The only guarantee is the battery life on the XR will be the best of the 3. Possibly the best battery life of any iPhone in history.

Thanks for this.

Some people are claiming that the additional SIM card only 3G no 4G/LTE but I think that’s bullseye. According to the LTE page from apple, both of the antenna support 4G/LTE.

Thanks for the clarification.You're right. The keynote did mention China having 2 physical sims. That threw me off and thought the we would get one physical sim until the e-sim was mentioned for the U.S.

Will wait for the XR to be released.

Any ideas when the demo units of the XR will be in Apple stores?

Could it be because Apple products are overpriced? :\

If they are, then there’s a phone thats better than the XR, for less money. What phone is that?
