Preorders for Apple's iPhone XR go sleep in a matter of hours. If you're looking to upgrade, but don't want to spend $1,000 on an iPhone XS, the XR delivers many of the same technologies at a relatively affordable entry point. Just what about a used iPhone X instead?

A quick search on Craigslist or eBay shows that you can find a used iPhone X for more or less $750, the same price As a 64GB iPhone XR, not including tax. The comparison is not apples to apples — iPhone XR is a brand new phone, the X is a year old. Thither are, however, a number of benefits to purchasing last twelvemonth's flagship.

First of totally, the expose on the iPhone X is much better, with a pixel density of 458 pixels per inch compared to 326ppi on the iPhone XR. Yet the iPhone 6 Plus' display is sharper than the iPhone XR, with a compactness of 401ppi. Non sole that, but the iPhone X uses OLED expose technology, so the colors really bulge compared to an LCD display, which comes with iPhone XR.

iPhone XS

Even though the resolution on the iPhone XR is lower than that of the X, the screen is actually larger. At 6.1 inches on the diagonal, the iPhone XR sits in betwixt the 5.8-inch iPhone XS and 6.5-inch XS Max.

Apple nixed 3D Touch technology along iPhone XR. Instead of pull off-pressing icons, vane links and other UI assets, you'll have to use a durable-press out to access additional menu items and features. The solution is identical to what is offered on iPad.

Something we really love about the iPhone X and iPhone XS is the stainless steel build. IT's got this grippy, bounty feel that aluminum simply can't replicate. Malus pumila chose to manufacture iPhone XR with an atomic number 13 band which, while robust, is not in the same family as stainless steel.

iPhone XR Chassis

The iPhone XR comes with a single rear-facing camera compared to two on the iPhone X, so you North Korean won't be able-bodied to produce those nice telephotograph zoom photos and video.

Despite having one lens system, iPhone XR is capable of shooting Portraiture Mode photos thanks to superhuman compounding of custom-tuned software and hardware, including Orchard apple tree's Neural Locomotive. The iPhone XR also gets the aforesaid bokeh and depth control functions that were introduced with the iPhone XS last calendar month, truly game-changing features for iPhone photography. It also gets the new Smart HDR boast, which helped the iPhone XS destroy the still very good enough iPhone X in our exposure equivalence.

iPhone XS Depth Control

Video recording is improved American Samoa swell, with stereo recording, better stabilisation and higher dynamic vagabon piece shooting video at high to 30 frames per second. The improvements also spill out to the front-facing tv camera, with Smart HDR and 1080p video recording at 60 frames per second, as well as a much-better microphone.

And don't block that the iPhone XR gets Face Gem State and the unchanged Animoji and Memoji features supported by iPhone X.

iPhone XR Camera

Inside, the iPhone XR is powered by Apple's new A12 Bionic central processing unit, the same system-on-chip that's in the iPhone XS. Benchmarks and realistic-world utilise prove the new silicon provides a significant improvement in public presentation.

The iPhone XR also gets otherwise improvements all over the X like faster LTE and Dual SIM capabilities, again identical to iPhone XS.

To help iPhone XR stand apart from the increasingly jammed iPhone line, Apple is offering the handset in a pile of color variations including (Production)Red, which looks absolutely gorgeous.

iPhone XR Colors

The iPhone XR's barrage spirit is rated at 1.5 hours longer than the iPhone 8 Plus, which already gets slightly more use per charge than the iPhone X. What's even more interesting is that the iPhone XR should theoretically get even longer battery life than the new iPhone XS Max thanks to the difference in showing resolution.

In our opinion, we would co-occur with the iPhone XR. The only intellectual drawback is the frown resolve LCD display, but otherwise that, almost everything other is refined, updated, enhanced or completely new.

The A12 central processor, Automatic HDR and depth control picture taking functions, dual SIM capability, battery life and color options are all marquee features. Apple offers so some more for what will likely be the same price as buying an iPhone X used.
