Hi there,

I was wondering if there was any side by side comparison of photos of a 6S+ next to a iPhone XR? I am trying to help my mom pick out a new phone online. She currently has a 6s+ and by everything I have read, the XR should be similar in screen size to the XR? Is that true? Thanks!

It should be around the same size as the plus phone. Slightly narrower and maybe slightly taller (maybe ?)
 
I did the test myself yesterday.

Very similar, a bit less sharp of resolution on the display, but will still be good.
 
This might help you out...

The XR is 3.5mm narrower than the + size phones

definitely go to a store and compare those screens. you are going to downgrade the pixel density from 401 to 326ppi.
