but the XR 6.1" LCD is not 1080p, your ip8+ has better resolution.  smile.gif

No significant difference between 720p n 1080p for me probably because I am old guy (62). I don't see pixel on 720p either on my previous 720p phones too

I'm aiming for that yellow iphone Xr.

Same processor as Xs? Awesome!

Slightly longer battery life than iphone 8+? Yes please.

Don't care about OLED screen, I'm happy as long as it has wide colour gamut.

Lower pixel count than Xs doesn't concern me either since it has the same 326 ppi as my iphone 7. As long as it's not blurer than my iphone 7, i'm good.

Only single rear camera? My iphone 7 is the same. Good enough for me.

That yellow iphone though....i need that yellow goodness in my life...

Errr, agree with you on all counts except yellow won't be my color of choice laugh.gif

he's somewhat right pertaining the 'upgrade' issue. eventhough ip5s is scheduled for an update don't put your hopes too high. During keynote they are only focussing on ip6 instead of 5s. means the upgrade can be good or can be bad.

similiar to ipad mini on ios 9
ip4 on ios 7
ip3gs on ios 4
this is what i can recall though
*
I can also attest to that.. my mum's 5S and kid's iPad Mini 2 is struggling somewhat on iOS 11, haha...

Now I'm curious to see if my mum's 5S will survive iOS 12 laugh.gif

yellow coloured phone is very hard to come by. Especially a yellow smartphone.

I was disappointed with iphone 5c pastel yellow. Now iphone xr yellow is my kind of shade of yellow brows.gif

The coral and yellow variants do not look that nice. somehow they looks like the Colours of highlighters. And the side aluminium color does not seem to fully match the Color of the back.

Lol just a fancy name for LCD. Although iPhone's LCD is one of the best in the market.
*
I think the display cannot be that bad. if Apple dares to make the claim, it must be not bad indeed.
So far from the review of XR from those YouTubers who had attended the event and who had seen both XR and Xs display both in the real, and yet they have not immediately pointed out the display of XR is poorer comparing to the OLED one. It should be ok. Apple's LCD to date are all ok since they first introduce Retina display.

My iPad mini 2 is running iOS 10 and it is still very smooth for normal usage.

Will not upgrade to newer iOS even iOS 12 claims to improve performance for old devices.

The PPI is the same as the regular iPhones 6,7 and 8, so I'm thinking it shouldn't be that bad but yeah, hard to judge till we see it for ourselves.

i have ios 12 final beta installed on the ipad Air and it does run smoother, no more laggy animation but only slight improvement in opening n running apps

considering air and mini 2 share almost the identical spec u should just go ahead and install, no point sticking to ios 11

Oled got better colour vibrance,making vivid display.

Honestly, I like iPhone 7 anodised red shade. If iPhone xr red resemble iPhone 8 red, l’m not really fancy it.

If you like red, I’ve no problem.

I share your view too. The Product Red looked less attractive on the iPhone 8 as compared to the iPhone 7 previously, maybe due to the difference in finishes on glass and aluminum. Remains to be seen what it looks like on the Xr but I’m guessing more like the 8. I’m eyeing either Blue or White smile.gif

You're probably right. I guess we've to wait and see if Xr has different shade of red or not. Blue or white colour is nice too. thumbsup.gif

CNN: This is how much money Apple makes on iPhones
https://cnn.it/2CUpE61

Msian prices are crazy more expensive vs US. Yet we see locals are willing to pay for it. Their reasons - proven eco system, smoothness , speed , app stability etc. Personally I will not pay more than rm4k for a phone even for such reasons. I had used all the IP till ip8+ ( except 5s) and yet remain unconvinced IP is more superior to other high end Androids. The only exception s it's better battery life but than isn't significantly better. This time I will go for the XR model and as usual will just be my secondary phone. My main attraction to it is solely it's 6.1 " display size
*
same here, still not convinced to pay above 4k for any phone. i rather go for ipad pro instead, massive hardware, feel more worthy for my money paid. i can get anything i need as in the iphone, plus can use apple pencil. the ipad camera is very good also now, heck i even take picture and video with it.. considering the xr, but lets see.. maybe not

But your wife might end up picking Coral since it does have a very feminine flavour to it smile.gif
