We iPhone XR Size, Color, and Design

MacRumors reader Kendo warned that the iPhone XR Is not a middle ground between the XS and the XS? If you wanted the iPhone XR because the XS Max iPhone was too big, you may still be unhappy with the size.

Because they are one thicker (and if you include both sides) and with the 6.1 "screen, the width is very much identical to the XS Max I was originally in the market For a slightly larger size than the XS, but because the width is essentially the same, you are better off If you're going to handle a bulky phone anyway, you might want to handle a bulky phone anyway, you might as well get the bigger screen to the XR.

MacRumors reader tks900 said he's having his second thoughts about his iPhone XR Due to its size compared to the iPhone 6s even though the display is gorgeous.

However: It's quite big. And heavy. Coming from the 6S, this is a really different animal. I have large hands and am used to handle my phone with one hand. Impossible with the XR. This bulkiness of this thing becomes more important when I use it with a case. I know many people will not, but to me, the phone is just too much slippery.

Redditor Meerkatch said the iPhone XR feels like a toy version of the iPhone XS due to the bezel size.

The bezels on the sides are noticeably big in real life, the screen protector is on an iPhone 6, but the screen protector is the actual screen of the phone excluding the home button and the camera if that makes sense). I would not say it's enough justification to get the Xs. I feel like it's a toy version of the Xs for some reason, it feels like an Apple Watch Sport compared to the Apple Watch Edition (Xs).

Redditor downwardCorgi said that the color is brighter than blood red and that the bezels are not noticeable. Using it in some situations is difficult, he says.

It is a slightly darker shade than a typical rainbow flag red. It's a little brighter than actual blood red. And yeah now that everything is rounded, it's kinda cute. If the display was small the same bezels would look larger, but the phone itself is already big, you just look at the content on the screen, not the bezels.

Reaching is fine if you use reachability. It's another step but I think it's a fine compromise. Reaching the right edge with the right hand it is possible. So in short, vertically it's fine if you use reachability, it's quick and easy, horizontally, reaching all the way to the other side with a thumb is a bit hard when one-handed. When using the right hand, I think you do not think about it. Goal typing with one hand still is hard to the horizontal length.

MacRumors reader c.s. pointed out that the iPhone XR iPhones, for customers who are coming from an iPhone 7 or earlier.

Just picked up an iPhone XR at the Apple store to replace my iPhone 7. No line at noon, it was an easy buying experience. I've always used the Apple leather case on my 7, and I was pleasantly surprised when handling the XR. My 7 always felt slippery when out of the box, but the XR is much more grippy to me. In fact, I'm going to caseless and just got AppleCare in case I regret that decision.

On the iPhone XR's Display

Redditor 3mbersea shared images of the iPhone XR and iPhone XS Max screens side by side in portrait and landscape mode. 3mbersea says there's a "big difference" in screen quality when watching high quality videos, but not in regular use.



MacRumors reader Nitefly shared some details on the display of the iPhone XR, pointing out that there's some color shifting, but it's slight.

I am posting this from an XR. Phhwooooar what a phone!

There is some color shift. However, the point at which it makes a material difference is the point at which you would never choose to use the screen at that angle.

In other words, the color shift is slight in a generous viewing field. At extreme angles, it's more pronounced. I'd say the screen is more obvious than color shifting. Likewise, it's really quite immaterial.

My god, the camera is ace. Also, I viewed this screen right next to an XS and could not see a difference in a sensitive, 'phone using' distance.

Redditor MonstersUGrad98 confirms that the XR uses the same iOS layout as Plus-sized iPhones, showing a two-column split view in apps like Messages and Mail.

MacRumors reader gig090 said that the iPhone XR's display resolution is "fine" and nothing that you need to worry about, even compared to the XS. The bezels, though, are "a little bit too fat" in comparison to the iPhone XS.



MacRumors reader sjperformance said the LCD display is great, but it prefers the smaller bezels of the XS and XS Max.

Overall good LCD display. Probably best LCD display on an iPhone. The Max has little bit taller. Width is about the same. Weight is good on this XR too. Now the bezels … I do not like them but it's ok. Prefer the smaller thinner bezels of the OLED displays.

On the A12 Bionic Processor

Redditor imagineJack, who came to the iPhone XR from Android, says it's super fast and responsive.

The phone is extremely snappy, fast and responsive. Every app I'm opening up in memory for ages. (Not sure if this is just a general iOS 12 thing but it's great.) The speakers are great, the camera is great.
