Yup, rarely used.

That's surprising. What about liquid retina?

Pretty good article on pros and cons of the Xr

https://m.gsmarena.com/discussing_the_iphon...-news-33252.php

XR comes with Haptic Touch...what it is exactly? Is it like the iPhone 7/8's Touch ID?

wow, nice article about xr

Basically new naming now
1. 2018 - XR
2. 2019 - XR 2 ??
3. 2020 - XR 3 ??

Plus with so-called 'budget' iphone, looks like better get a olders model hehe when Apple launch new model like how price drop on ip7 n ip8

wait for teardown

rather get a p 20 pro and yet got some changes

Different eco system... only reason I maintain with Apple is the ecosystem. If not... early early cabut to Android already, cheaper and better spec phones.

how many gigs of ram does the XR has? 3gb or 4gb ram like the XS?

ya, thats why I am using honor phone now

yup, if not because of ios I totally dont want use iphone already but now iphone use for secondary phone, my main phone now is android

dun think so. OLED they have no choice then must use samseng only.

anyway the display should still be good, after all it is retina display in terms of dpi. cannot be too bad.

no info yet.

should have 3GB minimum i guess. if they want to make the difference bigger for Xs or Xs max, they may do it.

since the display has even lesser pixels than iphone 8 plus. so 3GB should be enough.

anyway iOS is well optimised OS, no need so much ram also can work like charm.

the so called "affordable" iphone can match with most of the android flagship phone in term of pricing.....i feel amazed.....

yes, the CP value is high actually.

importantly, apple did not compromise much on this phone，they still give pretty much all the important hardware of Xs to it.

price drops for older models yes. but it is not actually worthwhile to buy iphone 7 or 8 now comparing to XR. the price difference vs the difference in hardware - A12 etc. it is good enough to justify for buying XR instead.

no to mention XR has exact iphone X look and iphone 8 plus back.

during the keynote, I was shocked, iphone 2018 is more than 3k really surprise me

plan to get XR, for my iphone 6 which has been serve me well for 4 years.
If im using android at 2014, i can guarantee that it won't last till 3rd or 4th year, due to the nature android official update is based on certain phone models, where iOS releases is compatible for all devices in day 1. If I'm using android devices, there's no guarantee that my devices has the official update to the last version, i do have an android as my 2nd phone, it's really disappointing that the android 6 is the final, no official for 7, and it doesn't allow to flash, im sure u know what's the device is already.

the most important that I will miss is for the touchID, i do not like using faceID due to my nature, exposing your face to Apple? no thanks. But it's apple direction, no choice. Unless get 7 or 8.

regarding the LCD it's not a high priority for me, because our human eye has the max of distinguish up too 300 pixels, more than that is nothing, but need to be consider the factor of the screen size as well, optimum will be 4 inch, 300 pixels, >4 inch, high pixels required. but as for XR, due to larger screen size but doens't increase the reso/pixel, this could be a draw back.

the rest i couldn't say anymore, as the matter of fact im not a apple fanboy, we all know that apple is GREAT at marketing purposes, but the greatest thing about it is the iOS itself, that's the reason why I go for it.

let's wait for the XR for the look & feel then i'll decide.

edit: I did pay premium (sign from telco) for my iP6 and it's brought me the 4 years of value. so what i see is what i get but interms of value, i have no complaints

don be delusional. a Android 720p phone selling at 3k who would want to buy it nowadays? Bad is bad, retina is outdated, it should be retina HD nowadays. this phone size is not 5inch like iphone 6, it is a whooping 6.1inch. so definitely u gonna see some pixels, believe me. And u cant even watch 1080p youtube on this phone lol.

I am not an android fans, but i cant stomach the fact that ppl lowering their standard to accept a non 1080p phone coming from Apple. It looks pity and shame. I myself is going for Xs or Xs Max, i believe that should be the standard. This Xr feels half baked. But then, if u really want a secondary phone from Apple, oh well this is a good phone to go. If not better go for X at bargain price.

LOL bro, ppl say human eyes can only detect 60fps and anything above is bullshit. Try watch a 120hz 120fps, and see u feel the diff or not. Dont be delusional, please. When u put a higher ppi phone beside a lower ppi phone, definitely u can see the diff. okay u are from iphone 6 so u wont feel much diff because iphone 6 is same ppi.

Once u already pampered ur eyes with better stuff, u will definitely see the diff.
