Yesterday evening Apple launched The new generation From the iPhone, which came in two categories, namely the Xs and Xr, Apple sought to review devices separately from each other, indicating that they are two different categories and not just a difference in sizes. Until last year, the iPhone X was almost the same as the 8 Plus, with a slight internal difference, but the basis was the design and the depth camera only. So did this persist in the new iPhones, or did the differences between the two categories increase?
Important note
This article is based on the specifications announced on the Apple website and the various technical sites where the device has not yet been released to be tested in detail. But after yesterday's conference, Apple provided the device to the attendees to test it for minutes, but this is not enough to test the speed and various things.
Similarities between the two classes
The following points are similar on the iPhone Xr with its more expensive siblings Xs and Xs Max:
◉ The same A12 processor is present in the three devices.
◉ The front camera and the rear camera are one unchanged.
◉ Wireless charging is available on all devices.
◉ The video shooting is identical in the three devices except for one feature, which is zoom, which we will mention in the differences.
◉ All sensors are identical for the three devices.
Differences between devices
Apart from the obvious basic difference, which is size, this is a list of the differences between the Xs and Xr series, as follows:
◉ Apple canceled the XNUMXD Touch on the iPhone Xr and made it exclusive to the iPhone Xs.
◉ The memory in the iPhone Xs is 4 GB, while in the Xr it is 3 GB, like the iPhone X and iPhone 8 Plus.
◉ The exterior design in the Xs is glass, and the edges are stainless, compared to the glass design also in the Xr, but the edges are aluminum 7000. (The glass design is to support wireless charging).
The iPhone Xr screen is an improved LCD, while the Xs screen is an OLED screen, and there are many differences between the two types in contrast, color tone, and others.
◉ The Xs screen supports HDR quality display of the content while the Xr screen does not have this feature.
◉ iPhone Xr is protected against water by IP67, while the Xs is protected by a standard of IP68, which is higher (withstands a depth of more than 1 meter).
◉ iPhone Xs has a dual camera while iPhone Xr has a single camera.
IPhone Xs has Dual OIS while iPhone Xr has Single Optical Image Stabilization.
◉ Portrait photography in the iPhone Xr comes with only 3 patterns, while in the Xs it comes with 5 patterns, and this is due to the fact that in the Xs depends on the presence of an additional camera, while in the Xr it depends on the processor only.
◉ In video shooting, the iPhone Xs has 2x optical zoom, while the iPhone Xr does not have this
◉ In video shooting, the iPhone Xs has an electronic zoom of 6x compared to 3x for the iPhone Xr.
◉ The communications chip placed in the Xs is the latest global “Gigabit”, while the one placed in the Xr is the previous generation, and it may be the same as the current X.
The only positive point for the iPhone Xr is that its battery is clearly better than the iPhone Xs battery and is almost or slightly more than the iPhone Xs Max battery according to Apple's official website (a measure of efficiency, not storage capacity), as well as provides more variety in colors.
Conclusion
It seems that Apple has removed a large number of minor features of the iPhone and made them exclusive, such as the advanced SIM card. Apple has even gone so far as to remove intuitive features that have been present in the iPhone for years, such as 7D Touch. Imagine that someone who buys a 449 today for $749 gets 250D Touch, while someone who buys an XR for $XNUMX doesn't get the feature 😥. All this to make the phone $XNUMX cheaper than the top-of-the-line model. Seriously, Apple!
What do you think of the iPhone Xr after knowing the differences? What devices do you intend to acquire in the future?
