iphone XR or XS ?
Discussion
Probably not, but depends on how much you care for bleeding-edge screen tech and camera basically. The XR screen is absolutely fine, and for most people, they wouldn't even notice a difference until sat side-to-side with the XS. The camera doesn't has the zoom lens, again, depends on how much you care about that. On the plus side, it has excellent battery life.
Go into a shop and pick one up - they are really nice.

yeah hearing u .....the onllyy thing im thinking of is the 3d touch ....which ive never experienced but looks really cool Go into a shop and pick one up - they are really nice.
on the flip side ....X vs XR ? closer to price has all features of xs ....but no a12 processor ....im think a12 to future proof going fwd
3D touch is going on all iPhones apparently. It still has an alternative to it on the lock screen and action centre or whatever its called. It's really no big deal whatsoever,
If you prefer the X, and it's the same price, get one. Believe me, the processor in it will be good to go for a long time. Battery not as good, but it's still a brilliant phone (I got one when it first came out). Battery is a big deal for me, so I would choose the XR personally, but it's all about what you care about.

i cant be paying 1500 chf over 880 chf here in switzerland ...i want the 128gb storage too
I was debating the same. Main thing I wanted was a better camera over my current iPhone 6.
XS and XR have exactly the same primary camera, the XR just lacks the telephoto zoom lens.
XR has a bigger screen.
XR has 25% better battery life.
Oh. And it’s a million pounds cheaper.
A white 64GB XR should be getting delivered to me today. 😊

I have an XS Max (and from an X), my wife has the XR and honeslty, I wish I went the XR route, its everybit as good a phone in all day to day uses and the camera/battery differences are negliglbe IMO
real world review thank you yeah i cant be paying 1500 of world currency on a phone
imagine the mother of all tvs you could buy with that
I am having the same debate at the moment, negotiated some deals with the main operators - the XR is a couple of hundred quid cheaper over the term of the contract. Another thing on the camera is that the XS takes better portrait photos - I have to say I love this feature on my iPhone 7 Plus and having a 7 year old capturing photos in portrait mode of him growing up is fantastic.
For what is worth, I just went through this dilemma - having had a series of the Plus phones, I personally wanted a larger (more precisely, wider) screen than the X, so was interested when XS Max came out. In the meantime, my wife got a XS and my son got a XR, so gave me plenty of time to compare the technology in them, including display quality (albeit not the same size as a XS Max) and photos.
My conclusion was that side by side, I would just give the edge to the XS screen, but it really is only being very critical that I would observe any difference, however when factoring price, I just could not justify paying the extra for a XS Max over the XR. This was particularly the case for me, since given the price of the XS Max, I would have bought Apple Care, but for the XR was willing to accept having to write it off if I do something stupid. I wanted more than 64GB, so the 128GB XR was £800, and I would have paid £1450 for the 256GB XS Max (appreciate this is not completely an apples-to-apples comparison, but was the relevant scenario for me) - figured for nearly twice the price, the XS Max did not offer enough extra.
I bought the XR nearly 2 months ago and am very happy with it - battery life is great, photo quality really nice (and I am fussy on this kind of thing!), screen size and format works very well for me, and I have never thought that the display looked below par in any way whilst owning it.

Another option is the X - which seems to me to be slightly better than the XR and a lot less money than the XS.
The XR is a really nice phone though, and the battery life is excellent - woman in my office who uses her phone decent amount gets 2 days out of it.
I'm going to hunt for an X next month.

Loyal customer and all that ...!I could not really tell the difference between the screen on the XR vs the XS. I played with them in the Apple store, so maybe not ideal conditions but the differences were so small. It was not a case of one was crap the other great.
The thing that sold me on the XR was battery life, it’s brilliant if I am in the office, so not surfing on the train etc it will last 3 or 4 days between charges!!!

I had the same dilemma you are having - I chose the XR
- Better battery
- Bigger screen than XS
- Cheaper
- Fun colours
Screen is brilliant, thought sure not as good as my partner's XS if side by side, Camera is amazing, and I can't tell any difference between ours.
For me it's a no brainer
- Better battery
- Bigger screen than XS
- Cheaper
