Apple may have cut some corners with the screen and camera but build quality is just right.

And ym arguments are not void.
I am sorry man.
Your only problem is you dont hear anyone else apart self.
And nno matter what you never agree others can have sometimes truth.
So have a nice day and change your view on other people at least try it, it helps a lot.

    alski10, 27 Oct 2018Well.. Ive already had a budget-ish phone (Samsung A5 2017)... moreI dont care about jack but SD card is a must.
    And rather i pick huawei than Samsung and i would like m ore Samsung than apple.
    Any phone i would like to have more than apple.
    Had iphone 6 for 3 months long time ago when it was released and sold it as soon as i could.
    I really dislike or hate when a phone thinks he is smarter than I.

Infact I prefer LCD over oled, if it's top notch quality.. 2 months back I opted for Samsung Q led instead of Sony OLED, just because Oled hurts my eyes.. I prefer High quality LCD.. not some poor cheap IPS.. the XR has probably the best LCD I have seen, the colors, viewing Angle and the sunlight legit is top notch. The only thing I am hating about the XR is the absence of 3D touch. While some may call it gimmick, I am so much used to it now, that on my ipad it's like a sore in the use

                What an ugly phone. Ugly colors and ugly + enormously wide bezels. No style at all.

                    Apple: Releases iphone 8 with a 750p LCD display in 2017 with a price tag of 700$
                    No one complains about it and nobody cares.

                    Apple: Releases iphone xr with an 828p LCD display in 2018 with a price tag of 750$
                    Everybody goes nuts.

                    It’s clearly an excuse for Youtubers to print money and apple hates to make you guessed it,another excuse.

                    The real question is: Why didn’t apple add a 1080p display and finally kill the 720p screens? And the answer is........




                    Greed. What a surprise.

                      bettlejuice, 27 Oct 2018with that price tag apple still consider it as a budget phone.Umm..Apple has never and will never use the word "budget" on any of its products. It's the media that constantly called this "budget". Of course the android army will continue to spread this to inflame hate towards a product they think is in the same league as their cheap and truly budget android phones.

                      In 2018-2019 the best iPhone to get for price conscious people is clearly the iPhone 7. This has been the strategy of Apple for years. Previous flagship models becomes the "entry" points for those who wants a good iPhone but not necessarily the best.

                          It's a great phone with an OK screen and a few annoyments (no headphone jack) which more and more flagships also share. That's different from being a budget phone.

                            Apple: "Let's see how good this RDF thing is. Let's sell a mid-range electronic device at a high-end price. Surely, even the RDF must have its limits?"

And you overlooked the numerous comments about fragmentation. I just proved you are wrong and an hypocritical person. From now on I shall ignore you each time you comment back to me because all you do is attacking me with void arguments.

                                Of course it's durable, it's not an iPhone XC.

                                      Well apple lying its customers again.
                                      And its customers stills buys.
                                      These companies will never learn until they are taught a lesson.

                                        I also prefer the aluminum sides of the XR. I don't like the steel banding on the X/XS because it scratches easier. Still, if it came down to size and better in-hand feel, I would go for the XS in silver. Looks the same as last year's X but I prefer that size.

                                        Like I said many times before, I actually like the iPhone HARDWARE. It does feel premium. But I dislike the software. If I preferred iOS over Android, I would be all over this and would've camped out for one. I'm not. I hate using iTunes and all the other restrictions.

                                        If I bought another iPhone, I bet in a few months I would just get bored of the XS or XR and sell it on Craigslist. Then I'd probably use the money to buy the smaller Pixel 3. Waste of money and time if you ask me.

                                        My first choice is really Pixel 3 but I think I'm better off waiting for the successors with more rear camera lens and RAM. OnePlus 6T is too tall. Pixel 3 almost got there for my personal taste. Perhaps Pixel 4 & 5 will reach that summit.
