I think this phone will be the best seller this year for the iPhone nod.gif
Same specs as the higher end models (minus the OLED panel which i think is not a deal breaker) and cheaper. The single camera capabilities also the same as the dual cameras

Wonder why they ditched the 3D Touch feature
*
Bcos I think they realised not many ppl using 3D touch, so was a good idea to axe it out on the "budget" model and not affect the user experience

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...
*
Could be slightly blurrer than the iPhone 7 bcos although same pixel count, the screen on the Xr bigger hmm.gif

Everything else for the iPhone XR is great, just the screen. Have to see the screen in person only can justify whether OK or not

The single lens camera still OK as this year it can do the same as the dual camera setup.

No 3D Touch and 3GB ram a bit let down.
*
I think the lack of 3D Touch will not affect the user experience, bcos not many ppl really use the 3D Touch (me included)
3GB RAM if android phone mayb a big let down, but IOS 3GB RAM still OK nod.gif

The only potential "let down" in my opinion will be the screen, but subject to real world viewing

I think the size isn't the issue everyone has been harping on,  but more on the screen resolution. We'll need to see it in real life to judge, I guess smile.gif

Should be OK kut, bcos the PPI maintain although on big screen hmm.gif

What are the benefits of pre-ordering the phone? Get to own the phone faster is it?
*
That is the only benefit for Apple phones

Worst part is pre orders will be paying the highest price for the phone, where later down the road you can get the phone at cheaper price. Started since the iPhone X

I was considering the XR, X and XS Max, ended up with XS Max cause still wanted bigger screen and battery life.
The steel band might be a double edges sword, it might be stronger but the shiny finishing attracts scratches and finger prints like nobody business. Mine has minor scratches from putting on and taking off case sad.gif. I still like the aluminum finishing, no scratches on my 6 Plus previously.

Ya the stainless steel sides get scratched easily, my iPhone X stainless steel sides full of scratches

I guess cause its those polished finishing, any scratches = obvious haha. This is the part I would prefer aluminum instead. But the steel band looks expensive la over the aluminum, as long you keep it clean and shiny.

Unless u use it without a case, only can see the difference whistling.gif

If not... no different also

Coming soon ™ haha! But yeah who knows maybe Digi would pull it off earlier than Maxis, Celcom to gain market share. Tie the consumers with 2 years contract ;-).

When one telco start to offer eSim, the rest will follow suite

Unless it become like the case of LTE where Digi took so long to get lisence
