When yesterday Apple introduced iPhone XS and iPhone XS Max, most of us suspected that they would appear after them "One more things…” in the form of the iPhone XR. So we all watched the introduction of a new affordable iPhone for everyone, which most likely replaced iPhone SEAnd to be honest, there's something about the iPhone XR launch that just doesn't sit well with me.

Common elements
Let's start with the processor. In order to iPhone The XR was different and cheaper, so most of us expected last year's A11 Bionic processor to be beating inside. I froze slightly when Apple stated at the conference that the XR will feature the latest A12 Bionic processor. It's not a bad thing of course, is it Apple the latest phone also has the latest processor. In practice, however, this means that iPhone The XR has the same performance as iPhone Xs or Xs Max. So here it is iPhone XR did not differentiate from the flagship. iPhone Like its more expensive competitor, the XR also has a 7MP front camera with TrueDepth and biometric protection. Face IDAnother thing the new iPhones have in common is Qi wireless charging.
iPhone body
If you want to decide based on the body of the phone, it will definitely not be easy. While the iPhone XS and XS Max boasts a steel frame, which looks much more luxurious compared to aluminum, iPhone The XR offers six very nice colors, even though its frame is made of aluminum. The premium series with OLED displays has one color compared to last year. variaIn addition, we can now choose from white, black and gold, the iPhone XR simply doesn't have the pastel colors.
Another display
As for the display, here we find the first difference. With iPhoneThe iPhone XR will not have the OLED display that debuted on the previous iPhone X. We will get an LCD display, which is called Liquid Retina Display. OLED is more premium, but on the other hand I wonder if LCD is still a better choice than OLED, due to burn-in. However, OLED is of course better at displaying black. That's the first, arguably the biggest difference.
But the OLED models also have an advantage in another area – 3D Touch. Unfortunately, you won't find this technology on the cheaper XR. So if you're a fan of pressing the screen to perform certain actions, you'll be better off with the more expensive models. varianta.
Don't look for a dual camera on the iPhone XR
The second thing we find a difference in is the camera. iPhone The XR only has one sensor on its back, compared to the iPhone Xs and Xs Max. Max, where we find two sensors. The one camera that all iPhones have is identical – it has 12MP. The only difference between these competitors is the word “dual”, as the Xs series has a camera with a wide-angle lens and a telephoto lens, while the XR has “only” a camera.
The premium series offers better quality shots when zooming in thanks to the telephoto lens and now also True Tone flash. The dual camera can take better photos in poor lighting conditions, which can also be considered a big advantage. You will also enjoy the new Smart HDR, which should allow you to capture significantly more detail when taking photos. In this regard, it's pretty clear - if you're looking for perfect photos, the XR is not for you.

A few more miniminor differences
It's truly mind-blowing that these iPhones are virtually identical. There are of course a few other differences, such as the weaker IP67 water resistance (iPhone Xs has IP68) and other capacities that are available. But if you look at the comparison of all these products, you will see that there are really not that many differences. With the iPhone XR, you also have a kind of compromise in the size of the display between Xs and Xs Max. The 6.1″ display may suit all those for whom 5.8″ is not enough and 6.5″ is too much.
The difference, however, is in the size of the RAM. While the XS and XS Max have 4 GB, XR has "only" 3 GB. So, for example, if you are used to using really demanding applications, performing extremely power-intensive tasks on your iPhone, or you enjoy augmented reality, choosing the XS will probably make using your iPhone a little smoother. Personally, however, I don't think you will feel any significant difference. Last year's iPhone also has 3 GB of RAM. iPhone X and he definitely can't complain about "loss of breath".
You can see all the differences in the gallery below:

záver
It is precisely for these reasons that I wonder if Apple The XR model did not bury the sales of the iPhone Xs and Xs Max. ProShould people buy a more expensive product that is more or less the same as its cheaper brother? The difference of almost 10 thousand crowns is really striking. It's hard to say whether the OLED display and the extra camera are worth ten thousand crowns. In my opinion, Apple would have done better if he had introduced iPhone XR simply weaker and more accessible to even more users. If iPhone XR ditched the latest processor and used an older one, and made some other concessions, such as a weaker camera and FaceID, so it might have done better. But I'm definitely not a product professional, so I could simply be wrong.
Anyway, if you Apple wanted to try to make them happen iPhone Xs and Xs Max premium products at a truly premium price, he succeeded. Most appI think the leaves will go right into iPhone XR, due to the lower price and not so big differences, which are regrettable - but of course this can lead to low sales of flagships. And what is your opinion on this situation - do you plan to buy iPhone XR or will you go for the new flagship? Let us know in the comments.
I will buy. Iphone Xr because it is cheaper and contains almost the same features as Iphone Xs and Xs plus
Yes, but many people are annoyed by the absence of 3d touch
People around me that I know have iphone so no one uses 3d touch. IN Applu must have some statistics according to which they know how much the 3d touch function is used
I can't imagine using it without 3D Touch. iPhoneWhether it's when typing, quickly opening a conversation directly from the desktop, looking at links without opening them, etc. I've gotten so used to it that I consider XR to be total garbage. Appyou.
Owner Xr = I wanted Xs here but I'm too poor for it.
and what? That someone uses their brain and refuses to play the stupid game of "biggest poser" that judges people by the phone they have? Just massage your ego. :-)
So, for example, I earn €90 a year, and I take an "R"-ko, and I will curse like a pig and speculate for a month, and I will contact at least 10 sellers, let them give me at least a hundred down, and you know why? Because I'm tight..😘
Zitta66 OK, correcting to "I wanted an XS but I'm too poor for it or sickly stingy like Zitta"
Já1 The world is just like that, people judge each other by their phone, car, watch... A Apple of course he knows that and therefore he will be able to afford to add to the price every year.
I have an XR and I'm happy with it. I switched from an iPhone 7 and I thought it would be so cool without Touch ID. face ID works well whether I have glasses or not, just satisfaction, I have no need to criticize other iPhone models, everyone has what suits them and what they like
Neither? :)
Well, many people don't even know that they have something like 3D touch in their mobile :D
I've been thinking about a new plus, but since I have an 8plus, I'll wait until next year to see what it's like.. Xs max I'm not that impressed :D
I'm tempted by the Xs ko because of the camera. I'm just hesitating between 64 and 256 GB.
If you have an X, get rid of it :) Otherwise, as far as memory is concerned, I've had an Xko 64gb since February. 181 songs, of which there are about 20-30 that are more than an hour long. 27 videos, 1500 photos, 34 applications and still 35,2 GB free and none of it is cropped, neither photos nor videos nor music, all in full size
I have a one year old SE 128gb as my first one iPhoneThere was more than enough capacity for me and it would have been my choice for XS as well, but that option is not available.
It's easy, tell me how much free space do you have left now?
45 GB occupied after a year. No photo optimization. I save in full resolution. The program works for me on the 256 on the new machine, although it is an unnecessarily large capacity. And an extra five liters too.
So you see howoneyou answered it yourself :P
So gentlemen, you say that 64GB should be fine even in the case of the XS, right? :) I'm thinking about switching from Android, I'm just a little afraid of it, because now I have 64GB in my Sony and almost the entire SD card of the same size, so I can't see :D I probably have a lot of unnecessary mess there.
Pepe: I don't know what you need to have there or not. If you think 64 is not enough, then go for a larger storage. But it is definitely reasonable to switch from android to iOS
The XR model may have a smaller frame
everything you say is true, but the wide bezels around the LCD are eye-catching! it looks like a failed Chinese copy of X. on the other hand, in the benchmark, I predict a much higher performance than Xs. thanks to the low resolution.
Well, that's how everyone laughed at other manufacturers that they have a wider chin at the bottom, the reason is of course the connection of the Lcd display. This problem also has Apple, but he decided to keep the chin all the way around, but that's the least thing that would bother me, the rough display screen is worse.
But again it is liquid retina.
"Liquid retina” is it cool in marketing parlance called IPS with low resolution?
This is probably some liquidation of old stocks from the past.
Deer ugh, those are bad words
Not one.. I was waiting for iPhone SE2
There will be no SE 2. Its successor is the XR
Anyway, I'm staying with X. I don't have the slightest reason to change.
You have one reason, you don't have to ;-)
Where can I afford it and the prices are big, I used to be worth it iPhone xs 64GB he bought a macbook for ... and don't say that a phone can do as many things as a computer ... so I guess ... yes, I will buy an xs 64 despite what I wrote, but my opinion is that they are asking a lot ....
Yes, you can buy it for the price of Xs Macbook Pro with a dual-core processor and storage stripped down to the bone, 128GB SSDs were the laptops for $7 XNUMX years ago.
Or you can buy aluminum ones ultrabook about size airand, with a quad-core and throw 1TB of NVMe into it, and you'll still have iPhone SE.
@arvi: how can you know? That he's not a jerk like others, and that everyone doesn't have to have a new "fart"?
Hi Pavel, I share a similar opinion. As an iPhone X owner, I don't see any reason to upgrade to a newer model. If I own iPhone 6, 6s, 7 and I'll want to buy a new device so it's clear to me that I'll buy this one iPhone Xr. ProPay almost 10k more and not actually get much extra? Yes, of course. iPhone Xs and Xs Max will be sold, there will definitely be a lot of people who will want to chase their ego with the new model. Even if I were a new customer, I would buy the Xr. The design is much nicer thanks to one lens and I would also have more colors to choose from variant.
Otherwise, as for me, I would still be happy with an LCD. retina display that has been used so far. OLED seems unnecessary to me
As an owner iphone 6 from the first day I can tell you that I will not buy this year either. The things that these new mobile phones can do are simply things that you will not use in practice.. For example, the camera. I use it for normal photo shoots on Instagram where they will cut the quality anyway and I will put a filter on it. Another thing is that I use it to take pictures of documents like invoices etc. Which is still enough for me. When I was watching the presentation yesterday, in the end they only showed functions that you will not use. How many times have you sent that crap with that xicht in messengeru ? :O 5x the first week ? How many times did you play the game in VR ?
With that camera, I don't understand how you can take pictures with that cell phone.... who do I activate v iPhone the camera misses so many shots that it sometimes annoys me... but if you think about it in advance and prepare, yes, you can take nice pictures with the team... we have a camera for taking pictures 🤗
So let's sum it up, considering my use:
Camera is a clear choice for deciding between S and S Max
Size same as R and SMax but the R has a display only slightly larger than the S and with a lower resolution, again deciding between the S and S Max.
Absence of 3D touch, ok it just freezes
Light resistance option for S and S Max
Price, what can be done, X was also quite expensive. So what can be done, although he plays for S, he just doesn't save me anymore.
I'm proud of my X, what they just released left me calm... even with their famous 12 chip 🤯 Usable dimensions of the X's display are about 5 diagonal and I think it's enough... that as a guy with big balls and thighs I can't imagine how I have something in my pocket everything. I can't tie a tissue several times in peace so I don't break it... There should be something more interesting next year, but this year relative brother X somehow didn't excite me
I guess so, although I really like machine learning and its use, especially in cameras, I'll survive another generation or two. The task was clear... To survive with a ten miniAt least two years, preferably three. Especially when I consider that I had a six since its release and upgraded to a ten on the day of its release, i.e. three years with one model and what? I live… I don't have to chase my ego with the latest model.
I would understand the upgrade for a user with a seven or older model. From an eight to Xs/Xs Max It doesn't matter, it's more like X[R], but I still doubt it, because a similar model already existed for the eighties and whoever preferred it over the tenies knew why.
As a person with heart problems, I saw potential in the new Watch until I found out that the ECG measurement will not be available here, so the upgrade will not take place either.
I was hoping for a new show Macbooků Airbecause my five-year-old would probably want to change it, but that didn't work either...
The charger also nothing...
From this year keynote I was just so disappointed. This year has opened my eyes and I now understand why Apple so many haters, such arroganceance is already over the line and I even thought about leaving... Until I realized that on the other side there was only an Android waiting, with whom I am not friends.
ProNo ECG will not work?
Get started!
Use !
Brain!
Calves 🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️
ProWhat are you putting here?
alas, this year it was confirmed to me that apple he lives in his own world….. yes faster processor, 6 new colors, name- and besides? nothing... I'm thinking more and more about switching to Android (mi8 explorer edition or one+6). sorry, but give €1000 for the phone…. wtf
So let's not be rude again, there is much more news... Maybe it wouldn't hurt to read a few articles
I also watched the comparison. iPhone xa Samsung with 9 but in the middle of the video I said to myself android never more
The transition to Android was painful. OK, maybe Samsung, maybe Huawei are easier, but you kept at it. one plus or xiaomi? Those phones have so many problems that I don't understand why they cost so little. If they didn't have those specifications, you wouldn't even look at them. ProProblems with the GPS system have crept up on so many people that it's not nice.
What problems do I have? Oneplus? I have my third device and I don't know of any problems. On the contrary, it works great and for a great price and it looks good.
iPhone XS Max I'm definitely buying 512gb
Are you going to buy and be a big dude or what? Peter Nemeth
Too bad the XR isn't smaller. If it was 4,7 inches, it would be a gem and I would go for it 😉
Xiaomi: No technology is yet so expensive that we sell phones for more than €600
So it's enough to compare the sales margins. Apple 62% and xiaomi 5%. It would be enough if you apple he reduced the margin, but then he could no longer boast of sales profits
Well, with Xiaomi you get 1 upgrade and even that will be unusable for the first 3 months. Yes, instead of upgrading, you can buy a new phone because of the price. Apple just does it differently, long-term support, etc. It's just a different world.
I see it exactly the same with Xr…
I have exactly the opposite opinion as the author of the article. XR makes the least sense to me, then last year's Xko would be better, at a reduced price... But ok, I understand, I will withdraw it from sale, so it can probably only be a short-term effect... But pay €750 for an XR when it cost e.g. The iP7 that I have until today, while the XR doesn't appeal to me compared to the 7 (quite the contrary, just because of the size and weight...), seems like nonsense to me... I would understand maxespecially for new customers switching from Android, but even there they probably have a slightly different choice for that amount, like XR or XR. :) In any case, only time will tell which of the two of us was possibly more wrong... :) For me, the XR is a step closer at the given price, only that they would withdraw it... :)
€750 for XR? good morning, our price is €849, or €879 depending on the seller
Good morning to you too, but not at all... :)
Brutally overpriced, not even half the price
Xs because my 8+ is too big for me
As an iPhone 7 owner, I was looking forward to everything this year apple boast. I was already thinking about Xk last year, but I say I'll wait for what comes and I have quite a dilemma because the difference in performance is not that big and paying 30+k for Xs??? It's a fact that I take a lot of photos and videos, I don't play games. What would you do?
If you have the money for it, then iPXs, if you want to save a few bucks (nothing extra, but every crown counts), then the classic ten, which Mobilní Pohotovost now has for 25.990,-. Of course, if you don't mind giving up homebutton and it will increase in volume a little. Otherwise I would stay with the 7 and maybe buy an 8 next year :-)
It's not worth buying Xko for 26k when XR comes out at 22490 ..
not one because there is no major innovation there and with my 8 I am maxI'm completely satisfied so it will probably last another year...
You don't like him, do you?
Do you really think that every person thinks like this? That he buys something just because he can, even if he doesn't want to? I could buy it too, even quite cheaply, just that I don't want it and who will serve me my current iP7, so I probably won't even deal with it. But if it was smaller and lighter, maybe I wouldn't hesitate... :)
@iJa: you know, he "arvi" is either trolling or mentally less capable, that's why he writes nonsense :-)
I'll wait another 3 months, he'll take it in installments and sell it right away minialmost a buck cheaper 😂✌️and now I read that the xr doesn't have 3D Touch, I use it a lot, so either the XS or nothing 😂 I sold the X because it froze quite often and wrote nonsense and it wasn't the only one that had errors, I know this from a friend, now I have the eight and I can't complain, it works exactly as it should and it was half the price of the "premium" X 😂✌️
I think this year Apple spurs on profits. What can I say, years before, they always offered mobile phones under 24 thousand, but with this price tag, they are already exaggerating. This mobile phone does not offer anything revolutionary that the competition does not offer miniat least 10 thousand cheaper. Have only the advantage Ios But even that will eventually get boring if people keep wanting more and more money for it.
That's it apple it still tests people how much they are willing to pay for a mobile phone. And at some point there has to be a turning point and people stop buying them and apple he probably needs just such a slap.
After all, they can't set prices according to Czech socks.
I don't think I know any really successful (and rich) people who would express themselves like that... :)
I have this exact opinion too. Last year me already Apple he started to get annoyed with the uneaten politics. This year he just gave it a crown and confirmed this trend. From mobile phones that cost 20-25t., it suddenly jumped to 30-35t. So I jumped off the bike and bought it 10 months ago, for 17t. from the Czech distribution of Note 8. I don't even know how much it costs today, maybe with Note 9 it will be even cheaper. A complete mess. The display is beautiful, everything works. So just don't worry about it.
ProDoes XR make sense?
https://bgr.com/2018/09/13/iphone-xr-vs-pixel-3-xl-apple-nightmare-google-android/
I'm definitely happy to spend the extra 10... partly because of the camera and mainly because of the steel body construction. Aluminum is soft and I have a nice scratch on my 7 after two yearsance.... plus 3D Touch when switching applications, making quick calls and writing messages.... of course it's stupid, but once you get used to it, there's no going back and Apple he knows that. :D
Xr has a glass back, it won't get scratched that much :-)
Neither one. I'm not an Apple fan, but I started with an Apple phone.oneI had a Z5 with 3G for a decade when Nokia offered 1/2 for the same money. I changed it about every 3 years and I was satisfied.
But security policy (who knows, understands me), price policy and politics, I don't listen to what people want, they tell me that there is no easy way to the future. 👎
😃😃
Hopefully next year there will be a smaller model at a reasonable price, I don't even want to imagine where the display size will stop 🤔
Xr can also be something of a hammer on the competition. SEčko was also not cheap in the beginning, and over time?
Can someone please tell me who here really uses the camera 100% when social media makes the photos worse? I won't say it for reports, so I don't hesitate and buy XS but also stupid iPhone 7 is enough :D I'd really like to know how many of you watched those photos on TV or printed them out. 90% of people take photos for Instagram or facebook..
The photos from the mobile phone are great when the conditions are the best for taking pictures, that is, when it's daytime... unusable at night and especially when I want to take a quick picture... by the time it turns on, it's already over...
I really like the XR and I'll probably go for it when the 7 wears off. 😊 So I was looking forward to the SE2, but the XR looks pretty cool. I'll see when I get my hands on it, but then I have a nice feeling about it. 😊
As an XK owner, I'm tempted by the dual SIM option on the XS, but I'd have to switch to tmocz. I can't stand 3D Touch anymore, after a week of use I switched back from the XK to the SE (size, face id I really like sunglasses in the summer) and in two days I'll be back on the Xko with my ears down😂 The XR in the SE body would be great, it doesn't make sense like that.
I stuck with the 6s Plus until today. Now, after selling it, I'm considering either the X or the Xs.
The first reason is the size and that was the main reason for the change. After a series of all the "small" iPhones, I really wanted to try a large display.
After two years I got over it. I was bothered by my pants; in the jacket and in the hand when writing.
I couldn't do without 3D Touch, which I got used to quite a bit.
Since speed is not important to me and the camera is not that important (I get a lot more anyway), I would probably choose X because of the price.
I still don't see what the difference is in the processing regarding the body, the material. If it's the same, it will be X.
Pro Only XS would make sense to me Max with a capacity of 512 GB, but I won't give them 43.490 for it. When the first plus appeared, I immediately went for it, at that time it was the most expensive varia27.000 and then they raised the price to about 33.000. I don't even want Face ID, not even after 3D Touch and certainly not after an OLED display. I want a big phone, with a lot of memory, I would imagine a better camera in the new model and I would welcome aptX, a stylus, and a USB-C cable.
I've experienced Android once, quite recently. Huawei Mate S and P10, both of which nestali over 20 thousand, but 10 and 14 thousand. However, since the software is far from being so tuned, maybe Samsung will be better, but Huawei did not convince me. And the prices, when I bought the Mate S for 10 thousand and after less than a year the prices were around 3,5 thousand and the P10 was not much better, so I switched again to Apple. The price is just right and I would easily go for 7 or 8 now, they already have durability and all the jokes aren't that important anyway. But if you pay 30 for an xs, then either keep it for five years and take good care of it (it will last), or sell it and upgrade after some time. Huawei, etc. definitely won't last that long, the sw can't do it and the sw upgrade will force you to switch to a new model.
Maybe he didn't use last year's processor because he's not satisfied with it (because of economy, for example). And the difference of 10 thousand does not seem strange to me. The display and the camera are slowly the most important and if the difference between these two things is noticeable, then 10k is in place.
8+ best
I won't buy any model, I can't afford one. But my niece promised me she would. iPhone draws, cuts and sticks on a piece of cardboard :-)
I'll definitely get an XS, my 7 has been asking for a replacement for two years now 😬 But I don't really understand the system of producing a phone with deliberately bad features and essentially deprived of the best that the manufacturer has... especially for a company like Apple.
The only thing that bothers me about the iPhone Xr is the size. 6,1 is already quite big! ProThey didn't make it like the Xko 5,8 😒.
Hi Michal, that's exactly what I was looking at, that's why I'm choosing the one between the model and the 6,1, which is quite enough, but I still think the XS sail is better...
What do you think, is it worth going to the Xs (256Gb) or will they take advantage of the discounts for the X?
I have a Nokia 225, the back display is cracked, I wanted to buy an xs, but there are no changes, only 1gb frame and a12 chip, a bit of a camera, otherwise I am not disappointed, and with the price, too, when it costs 999 usd in the USA and 30 thousand outrageously expensive here, I will probably stay with Nokia for another year
I will exchange mine. iPhone 7 for iPhone X 256gb, I think it's the best choice. I can't imagine using an iPhone without 3D Touch.
Xs for me.
It's true that I opened my eyes to the XR model, but it's exactly the one you're going to buy!!!
How can everything be compensated for but the HD resolution on the 6,1 display? Ppi is 7 pixels higher than 8+ 80+... maybe it won't look so bad, but it sounds scary to me to switch to a bigger display with a lower resolution...
