Now everyone can rest ez knowing that the XS line does have 4GB of RAM.
I agree, I just worry that this will incite way more instigation because of the Note 7 issue. I really do not want to have to give up my Note9. I'd still be using the Note 7 if it wasn't for all the backlash and neutering of usability.
Less pixels, less power consumption.
You ignored the virtual display abstraction part that varies the number of virtual points per device. The Max and Xr have more virtual points than the Xs so more information will show on those.
They've actually peaked, you just haven't realized it yet.
Marketing.
Love? Now I finally understand what prevented Apple from adding oxygen saturation sensor, memory card, decent RAM, variable apperture and pen support. Too much love? For profits, perhaps.The note needs a bigger battery because android is inherently less efficient, and the Qualcomm processors need to be revved to higher clock speeds to achieve (not even) equivalent performance. Samsung found space for the bigger battery by leaving out some things. Like attention to detail, good taste, and love.
The virtual points can't show information. I am not familiar with Apple API, but if it does make it so that the screen with much lower resolution (Xr) shows more information than the higher resolution screen that would be a major design flaw.You ignored the virtual display abstraction part that varies the number of virtual points per device.

Android is for people who can't afford a real phone.Not impressed. Android phone has 4,000mAh battery at the same or lower price.

So, micro-LED screens all around next year!?
MacRumors said:The battery capacities and RAM inside the new iPhone XS, iPhone XS Max, and iPhone XR have surfaced in regulatory filings Apple is required to submit to China's Ministry of Industry and Information Technology
Basically it has to do with iOS. When displaying lots of white at average brightness, OLED is not as efficient. It is not the magic bullet as so many claimed at least with current iOS versions.For the last decade or so, every article about OLED display technology has said that it saves power vs. LCD. And yet, now that OLEDs are actually a thing, it's the opposite? I don't understand.
We get more information about device specs from "Great Firewall" China than Apple Marketing.
https://www.apple.com/iphone-xs/specs/ still doesn't show battery capacity or RAM.
If these specs "don't matter" enough to mention, why does the XR have less RAM? They don't want you talking about it.
The Back "Wide Angle" Camera's image sensor is very-likely the Samsung ISOCELL Fast 2L3.
It supports Full-Res 12 Mpx capture @ 120 fps, & includes 256 MB of Dedicated DRAM, enough to hold 7 Full-Res photos.
At least one other website is reporting that the Back "Telephoto" image sensor has NOT been Updated from the iPhone X OR 8+
As such, AAPL should have offered a version of the XS that does NOT include the Back Telephoto Camera at all, & priced that appropriately ($899 or lower) ... that would have been a better option than the XR, @ $749 OR $799.
Dumb comparison you say. You should be getting your money’s worth. They should have put a bigger battery instead of reducing it.That’s a dumb comparison.

That’s longevity, not efficiency.
The fact that Note 9 can have 1TB of storage (i.e. 2x of the largest iPhone storage) is nothing to sniff at. Unlike the floppy disk, memory cards today have access speeds that are fast enough to handle all media requests (music, photos and UHD video). I am pretty sure that memory card in Note 9 works much faster than iCloud in iPhone (and cheaper too).Lol. Memory card. Why not a floppy disk drive while they're at it?
And it still won't last as long. They didn't put a 4000 mAH battery in to make the iPhone's battery life seem bad. They did it to try to stay on par with Apple.Not impressed. Android phone has 4,000mAh battery at the same or lower price.

iCloud doesn’t have to worry about damaged cards. In addition my phones gets backed up passively, not actively, which is great for me.The fact that Note 9 can have 1TB of storage (i.e. 2x of the largest iPhone storage) is nothing to sniff at.

Dude, its 2018, times have changed. They don't even make Nexus anymore. Seems like alot of the Apple guys are still living in the past. Both Android and Windows are pretty darn good these days. Get a Note 9 and it'll make the iphones outdated.they have bigger battery but android battery management sucks. I used to loose 20-30% overnight just standby when i had a nexus
never had this issue with ios
