It plays 1080p video on YouTube perfectly fine.
Don’t worry about the screen, it’s big, vibrant, beautiful, and very bright.

And why does that matter?
You don't need a 1080p screen to watch 1080p videos.

Does your 768p/1080p/1440p monitor able to watch 4K YouTube videos? Of course you can. It just downscales to fit the resolution its in. And it works exactly the same on the XR.
With that logic technically the Note 9 cannot watch 4K videos since the screen is not 4K. rclxub.gif

Man UnboxTherapy and his misinformation really get to people. doh.gif

As someone who's had the XR for 2 days it really doesn't really matter the screen isn't full HD. The ppi is at 326 and I literally cannot distinguish individual pixels.
Texts look sharp, video looks clear, colours look wonderful.

If you think it's not worth the money for not being a full HD display, there's many other options out there.
I'm sure you'll be happy with those phones.

I just played with the Xr display unit and side by side with an Xs, the Xr screen doesn’t look inferior at all. Apple makes dope LCD screens, and continues to do so thumbup.gif

Exactly. UnboxTherapy and his ignorance really blew every little thing out of proportion. His channel is nothing but clickbait, outrage marketing, and an advertising platform.
Here's pictures comparing XS and XR side by side, zoomed in.

Ya, admittedly the bezels of the Xr are more obvious and thicker but other than that, I think the screen is just fine!

Also having seen the black, white, red and blue ones in real life now, I’d pick red and white a close second!

Linus is another one.
I totally respect him when it comes to GOU and PC related stuffs, he’s really knowledgeable and really good at it.
But when it comes to the recent iPhone XS review he just totally lost all credibility.

Problems that he thought were problems wouldn’t be problems if he did a little more research.

yes, u are rite.

as long as the content is not lower resolution than the display, it will never look bad. it is the same case as last time TV broadcast is in standard definition, but i do not really find it so bad.
but if it is to display SD content on HD or FHD or 4k display now, it will look bad.

yeah, surprised that the unboxtherapy video which crucifies on iphone XR has 8M views.

I’m all for having different opinions, I think it’s great and it projects on things that apple can improve on.
But spreading misinformation on a biased stance really works me up.

And his fans always swallow everything he says without much thought and thinking and pass it on as the truth.
And they call us sheep! laugh.gif

Anyhow I’m done ranting.
Can’t please everyone in this world.

Couldn’t agree more with you on that. He’s too shouty and sharp... 10 seconds into one of his videos and I was done.
