iPhone XR

iPhone XR

iPhone XR: The iPhone XR and 11 are some of the less expensive iPhones that are currently available and while they are by no means budget iPhones I wanted to help you decide which one you should pick whether that be the iPhone XR that I have on the left or the iPhone 11 that I have on the right now we're going to cover everything from price to colors to speed to cameras and everything else and if you want to jump to any specific section check the description. so you can see the time codes and jump to what you'd like to see most now the first thing is the price on the left here I have the red iPhone XR and the XR starts at $5.99 and goes to 649 and these are prices in the United States it may vary depending on where you live now the XR is available in 64 or 128 gigabytes of storage it comes in white black blue yellow coral and the red that I have here now when it comes to the iPhone 11 this starts at $6.99 and goes all the way to eight hundred and forty nine dollars it has 64 128 or 256 gigabytes storage options it comes in white black green yellow purple and red and I have the green color here and the green color is a new color for this year, he red is pretty much identical to what we have on the XR they might be slightly different shades but they're very very close when it comes to the actual size and build of the phones they're absolutely identical as far as size they're made of out of aluminum they have an aluminum ring around the outside edge and all buttons are in the exact same place so on the right you have your power sleep/wake button on the bottom you have a Lightning port and you have a speaker and microphone and then on the left hand side you have your volume buttons and your silent switch and everything'side identical in that way.


You have the same size display and we'll talk about that in a moment and you also have the exact same weight they come in at six point eight four ounces or 194 grams both are identical that way now on the back that's the only way you can really tell the difference they've moved the pple logo in the newer phones to the middle and gotten rid of the word iPhone and then obviously we have to hammers now instead of just one now as far as the displays are concerned they're absolutely identical they're both 6.1 inch liquid Retina displays they have a resolution of 1792 by 828with a pixel density of 326 pixels per inch that's exactly the same pixel density as an iPhone 8 for example now the displays while some people say they're 720p displays they're actually in between 720p and 1080p and you cannot see the pixels and this is the best LCD display on the market there's no difference between the two and you can still watch 1080p YouTube videos so ifyou go into YouTube if we go to my 11 pro max video and then we tap on the options for resolution you'll see that we have 1080p 60 frames per second is an option the phone will actually scale to that size and it looks great most people will not notice a difference especially if you're coming from an iPhone 8 or 8 plus and considering those phones these display swill be just as good if not better as far as viewing angles and they go bright in sunlight no problem whatsoever between the two of them so you'll be happy with those and they're identical on both phones there's no difference whatsoever if I turn the brightness up it's hard to tell with a camera like this but you'll see it gets very very bright so let me bring those back down and both of these phones have haptic touch that means the display is not pressure sensitive Apple has done away with 3d touch so you get the same features so if you hold and press on an icon for example it pops up at the sometime so you're not really seeing any difference between the devices so I'll do the same here with whether you get the idea they both do the same thing when it comes to haptic touch so you're not missing out between either of them now when it comes to specs there is a little bit of a difference with the iPhone XR we have the a12 Bionic processor that has three gigabytes of Ram and has the second-generation neural engine it's very very fast and I'll compare those in just a moment but it's not slow I don't think you're going to find a problem as far as scrolling or opening apps things like that in the iPhone 11 we have the newer a 13 Bionic CPU with a third-generation neural core but an extra gigabyte of RAM so 4 gigabytes of Ram I really don't see a difference as far as the two of them.

I think that extra Ram could be used for anything from storage to processing photos and hings like that now when it comes to opening apps you're going to find they're very similar in fact I don't think I have really anything open on either of them now if we open the music app for example you'll see they popped up basically at the same time if we open the App Store you should see about the same sort of speed as far as load times and things like that you're really not going to see many differences when it comes to speed maybes half a second difference the big difference when it comes to the processors really has to do with the cameras and processing images so if wedo something such as compress 4k video which is actually a pretty intensive task that doesn't really show the speed of the phones but shows that they can do equally good things so let's go into the same movie that I created we'll edit the movie they have different names but they both have a title on them they're the exact same movie and they're the exact same length so there are three minute sand 43 seconds so we'll go all the way to the end you'll see they're exactly the same and if I hit done on this movie and then I share and then I'll bring in an iPhone as a timer here or a stopwatch rather slide these over now let's go ahead and save the video now let's go ahead and export the project in 4k and see how quickly this actually can export so we'll go ahead and hit 4k and start and let's see how quickly they both export the exact same video now both exported incredibly fast but you'll see that the iPhone XR was not far behind at all and so this is a pretty intensive test when you're actually exporting 4k video you're using a lot of the processing power and the crazy thing is is neither of the phones is even warm which an iPhone compared to a mac book should be getting a lot more warm but if you're using a mac book to export the same 4k video the matchbook spin up fans and everything else so these are very powerful devices and you'll see the difference is not that great when it comes to actual performance of an intense task now like I said the cameras is where it's going to be a little bit different when you're actually processing images from a camera and it's it's doing all of the new processing that it can do on the new iPhone 11 that's where the power actually comes into play and speaking ofcameras the back cameras on both of these are quite good but on the XRwe have a singular lens and this is a 12 megapixel just like.


We have in the iPhone 11 we'll talk about in a moment but it's a 12 megapixel with a 1.8aperture we also have our flash here as well so we have that single camera and the single camera is quite good but we cannot do portrait modes of anything other than people it will not allow you to do that you'll see it says no person detected whereas the iPhone 11 because it has dual lenses will let us do that now the iPhone 11 on the back has dual 12 megapixel sensors but we have an ultra wide and a wide-angle lens so the ultra wide is an F 2.4 lens where the wide is an f 1.8 and like I said you can do portrait modes of objects and things like that and then also you have night mode and deep fusion which is coming outa little bit later depending on when you're watching this it could be out already now deep fusion allows you to get better photos during in indoor lighting where it's not great but it's still not dark and then you've got night mode which works incredibly well in the dark now when it comes to the forward-facing cameras they are actually quite different in fact on the iPhone XR we have an 8 megapixel forward facing camera that can record in 1080p 60 as far as video is concerned but on the iPhone 11 we have a new sensor that's 12 megapixels with an F 2.2 lens that cando 4k 60 so if we go to video we flip this around you'll see we have the option of 4k 60 in the upper right so I wanted to do a comparison of the back cameras and show you some of the differences between photo and video both do 4k 60p but only the iPhone 11 will actually do HDR and kind of tone map everything when you're doing 4k 60p video so let's take a look-at the difference between the two the iPhone 11 has better stabilization than the iPhone XR since it has those dual cameras you can actually move-around and it just looks like it's more stable footage in general so as I walk around it's using both cameras to help stabilize the image the iPhone 11 doe shave the ultra wide lens so you can get a better overall view of what you're looking at you can zoom out.


If you'd like to you can zoom in on both but it'smore of a digital zoom on both past two X now we're zoomed in about 2x on both so this should give you an idea of what it looks like on both devices when you're zoomed in this is the forward facing camera of the iPhone XR and the iPhone 11 you can see it looks a little bit different I'm not zoomed in or zoomed out it's just the different lens on both of these devices so they do look a little bit different you do get 4k on the iPhone 11 now the batteries in both of these phones are quite good the iPhone XR was the best until the iPhone 11 came out as far as iPhones are concerned so the iPhone 11 and 11 pros get better bigger batteries the iPhone XR actually has a smaller 2942milliamp power battery compared to the iPhone 11 which actually has a 3110milliamp hour battery now the larger battery and the newer processor given about 30 to 60 minutes of extra screen on time the iPhone XR you can expect about seven hours of screen on time with normal usage the iPhone 11 you can get seven and a half to eight hours it just depends on what you're doing if you're a heavier user you're going to get less if you're a light user you could get up to two days with the iPhone 11 so it just depends on how you're using it both support fast charging but neither of them come with a fast charger in the box.


So you'll actually have to purchase that separately if you want that and both support wireless charging as well now the speakers on both of them are identical they both have a really good sound you've got really well projected sound out of both sides you've got a speaker on the top and on the bottom on both of them and they're both clear I would say the iPhone 11 pros are definitely better but the iPhone 11 you're really notgoing to see much the difference between the XR and 11as far as speakers are concerned and that is really it between the two of them in fact if you don't care about the cameras and that 30 to 60 minutes of battery life go with the iPhone XR because you're saving a little bit of money but if you want the latest as far as cameras go and it is a big leap when it comes to cameras I would get the iPhone 11 you still get all the an emoji and everything like you do if you're interested in that on the iPhone XRbut the iPhone 11 camera is just leaps above that of the iPhone XR so I would take a look at that if you want to if you're interested in camera and photography but let me know which one you would choose and why in the comments below are you sticking with the XR or are you going to go to the 11 or 11 Proor maybe you're using.
