Even Google cannot even promise those with their Pixels. iOS apps are totally safe on the App store unlike Android apps. Can you imagine even Google Play itself is breached?!

      1)camera- I guess you never heard about "beauty gate" in iPhones(still pixel can beat it)
      2) screen - I bet you never used A Amoled mobile... That's the. Reason you don't know....
      3) face id-- may be good--but still biometric is safe and fast
      4) fastest Soc--only opening the apps( not in really life usage)
      5) Support-- I don't think people are using same mobile more then 2 years..
      6) price - should be around $600/-
      Don't compare iOS to Android... Where you have freedom of changing anything
      1) All iPhones look a like same-app Icons you can't change ( I feel bore to see same/I keep changing every week with my Android.. My iPhone still the same from last 2 years ( iPhone 7)
      2) you can't connect your iPhone to your smart TV/ printer. Fast charger- you need to buy separate cables for that/. Where in Android even $100 can come with fast charger and can connect with any wireless display out there
      3) multitasking-- you probably never heard in iPhones
      4) you can't hide the notch when you play videos-- that's so called fantastic iOS
      When you don't do all the above things.. Why you need a fast soc ? Does it really fast?

        Is Apple going to have a Black Friday sales for XR slashing the price to be as cheap as Xiaomi budget phones??? I think that will boost Apple sales for sure! LOL!

          someone, 21 Nov 2018"Any android phone" .... why do u take one particular andro... moreYou can check out last year iphone X sales numbers. It sold more than any other android even at 1000, that's a fact.

          And on the $500 and up bracket, only the galaxy S line will come close to the sales of current iphones. You will not find a mate 20, pixel 3, 1+6, MI 8/mix on the top ten.

            There's no reason to buy the XR..its only slightly cheaper than an XS.

              It is selling for around 1000 dollars here, the 64GB variant that is. Make it half that price and I will buy the red one to replace my iPhone 6. It is just way too expensive.

                    Anonymous, 21 Nov 2018Its ppi of the display, not the actual resolution. You woul... moreAbove 300 ppi is overkill?

                    So why do Xs and Max have more than that?

                    Poor excuse from Apple to not provide QHD or 4K. My phone is 5.2" 16:9 with 424 ppi. It is easier to notice difference on youtube videos when switched from 720 to 1080p.

                      the problem is the so called "budget iPhone" is not budget at only a few hundred cheaper than the top model.
                      most people that that price can afford to put on abit more and buy the XS ...there no real reason to buy the XR imo.

                        Anonymous, 21 Nov 2018Oh not, please stop. Possibly the best camera on the mar... more$750 is waaaay too much for a phone like this, i don't say it's a bad phone, but a very expensive one.

                        *PS: I have an iPhone 7 Plus.

                          Too expensive, it should came out with $550 starting price, it also don't look as an "upgrade" for users with old iPhones like the 7,8 and even worst the Plus version owners.

                            Higher clarity that most phones (XR >> amoled 1080p w low subpioxel count)
                            Passive biometrics
                            Fastest SoC by a mile

                            Support from apple for ages
                            Rational price.

                            If this iPhone does not sell as well it means that folk prefers to buy Qualcomm derived phones that are very slow and/or 1080p amoled phones that have very low subpixel count.

                              Apple and the oress won't disclose actual decline in numbers. It's probably quite bad.

                                An iPhone SE 2 or an iPhone Air X (or XAir?) at 500USD with a 720p 4.3 inch screen fit within the same footprint of the SE would have taken them somewhere. I am not an anti-Apple fanatic, but it's definitely refreshing to see that everything they dish out isn't being lapped up blindly. I hope it makes Apple go back to the drawing board and think. It'd do tech, consumers and the competition some good.

                                  Honestly, I'm glad they're not having stellar sales, but not because I hate iPhones (I actually quite like them). It just kinda showed the peak of where phone prices the consumer will pay for. So hopefully, the price gets 100 dollars less on the premium market at the very least

                                    Should’ve just made SE2

Otherwise they won't be able to shift the other models.... moreClearly that strategy has been proven that it is not working out for them any longer. Wait till the sales of new IPads comes out. It is end of an ara for Apple the writing is on the wall.
