been using my new phone heavily & I love it more every day. Love gestures, don’t miss the home button or that ugly chin. Phone is blazing fast & smooth. No LTE issues & this thing is a beast in terms of battery power. Color me pleased!

Coming from the old design, I’m not surprised you like the XR. It’s a great device.
Actually it is or I wouldn’t be posting about it

Yes! My old phone feels weird to use now, kind of clunky
I feel like that coming from my 8+, yet I keep reading comments about the XR being “so thick” or a “big phablet.” I think this thing is awesome!!
It’s a decent device, mine is going back. Ive got bitten by the OLED bug and can’t go back now. The XR is nice but I do notice the low PPI and I can’t get past the fuzziness of text.
It’s the first design change in 4 or 5 years that isn’t $1,000 plus and it’s a damn good phone! Glad you like it!
Xr is a great phone and I started with a Xs Max, but that OLED screen didn't blow me away like you would think it would. I think the LCD on the Xr is better on my eyes. Super fast and the battery life is the best I've had on a iPhone.
I just bought my mom a xr and she loves it, I seen her log into her bank via faceid and I gotta admit, I'm pretty jealous.
Phone is pretty sweet for what you get.. it's a damn good iphone that's not too expensive..
And the apps still destroy androis o good move apple bringer new technology and trying to lower the price.
I wanted the 6t but my reconsider...
Screen isn't the best though, my s8 destroys it.

I thought I would miss the home button, but FaceID is so fast that it does its thing before I realize it has.
Yes—I’ve been very pleased with the XR. I compared it to a XS and Max the other day and think I would have become sick had I jumped on a Max at release and then realized I had payed some $450 more than what a perfectly satisfying 128GB XR costs. I don’t begrudge those who bought the OLED phones, but the XR is best all around for me.

Damn am I blind? I can't see difference with text with my Xr to my Xs max and to my X. Where is this fuzziness some people are taking about?
I’m returning mine for XS...screen is not as sharp as the XS. At least to my 22 year old eyes.
22 year old eyes! LOL If you constantly compare you may notice that. However this 59 year old eyes have no problem with the LCD screen on Xr.
I guess but I plan on keeping this phone for 3 years so I want to be 100% satisfied, I played with my friends XS and the display is truly breathtaking.22 year old eyes! LOL If you constantly compare you may notice that. However this 59 year old eyes have no problem with the LCD screen on Xr.

If you wear reading glasses, you definitely notice the difference.

I wear trifocals and I am sorry I don’t see a huge enough difference. I had the Max and did compare before deciding to keep the Xr. Unless comparing constantly the display on the Xr will look just fine. I agree overall the OLED is better clarity, but not $450 better to me. 128gb Xr vs 256gb Max.
I agree being satisfied is most important.
People complaining about fuzziness just want to follow trends. The ACTUAL experience is awesome, but if you want to be bourgeoisie, then go ahead. Just know that WE know what your motivations are. Get over yourself. Check out this blind test video:

I wear reading glasses and have gone back and forth between my XR and my daughter’s XS, and if there’s a difference, it’s not much.

There's no discernible difference in quality of text at a normal reading distance.
I just started using my XR today coming from the 8pkus. I don’t really see a big difference in terms of the screen. The phone is super fast, but that said its going to take some time for me to get use to the top notch and no home button. I had to install the virtual home button for now lol.
I approve of these positive comments on the XR.
Hopefully its sales trump those of the XS/Max this year, encouraging Apple to shift their pricing strategy down a tier for each model in 2019...

The XR is nice, but I wouldn’t trade it for my 6.5 Max. As someone else alluded to, personally, I’m just ready to graduate from LCD technology and OLED really has its benefits for me. I also appreciate the aesthetics more on the XS in addition.
