          Josh, 19 Sep 2018Again! The iPhone XR is not a budget smartphone!!!! It's no... moreMan its LCD phone combined with plastic body so its a mid ranger.
          Midranger with super overpriced apple sticker on it.

              Apple is definitely better on the XR. They sneaky yes. Putting the pricer phone first. Then the phone which is the better balance of the 3 last. Hate to admit it, but this will be another good year for Apple.

                  Anonymous, 19 Sep 2018Could've added 300-500mah more on all models, but based on ... moreBut the battery is bad since Iphone 6 they increase Ram every year because their laggy and buggy OS is not compatible even with itself so the battery must been bigger or it just cant compete.
                  Its a drawback for customers.

                    Geric.770, 19 Sep 2018It always wins on software optimization. Sure, the Note 9 ... moreIf the battery tech itself is superior to the one that is available in iPhone in terms of efficiency in recharge cycles, then it does not matter how many times one can recharge. Recent issues with iPhone batteries related to its recharge efficiency after certain limit it drops and the software optimization basically makes your phone looks aged.....Not with Samsung Note 5 at least for 3 years....based on my personal experience

                      With lightening fast processors keep draining the battery making a suitable candidate for replacement in one year after Apple Care gets over! What an IDEA!

                                AnonD-632062, 19 Sep 2018Well, with it's screen resolution, it's obvious that the XR... moreIt has about the same amount of supbpixels as Xs and more than one plus and similar . So it a very sharp screen especially compared to 1080p amoleds.

                                Also AMOLEDs on average use less battery. So it is certainly *not* the screen.

                                  OK. Wht is the reason behind Apple's fear of releasing battery information?
