Since Apple introduced the trio of iPhones - iPhone Xr, iPhone Xs, and iPhone Xs Max, tech enthusiasts have been grappling with the decision. Many eyes are set on the larger-than-life iPhone Xs Max, potentially overlooking the budget-friendly iPhone Xr's launch on November 2nd. Queries flood our inbox asking: 'Should I buy iPhone Xr or add money to buy the larger-screen iPhone Xs Max?' In this article, we'll analyze the contrasting aspects of these two iPhone models.
Screen design on iPhone Xr may leave you less satisfied compared to iPhone Xs Max
From the introduction of the trio - iPhone Xr, iPhone Xs, and iPhone Xs Max, Apple has firmly stated that the budget-friendly iPhone Xr's screen quality won't match up to its pricier siblings, iPhone Xs and iPhone Xs Max.
Specifically, iPhone Xr is only crafted from a single block with an aluminum 7000 series frame, whereas iPhone Xs Max boasts a stainless steel frame, giving it a sleek, glossy finish on both sides. This is a point where the budget-friendly iPhone Xr falls short of its more premium counterparts in terms of material quality, as its price doesn't justify the same materials as iPhone Xs Max.
Comparing screen types, while the iPhone Xs Max features a 6.5-inch OLED display with a resolution of 2688 x 1242 pixels and a pixel density of 458 ppi, the budget-friendly iPhone Xr falls short with its 6.1-inch LCD display, a resolution of 1792 x 828 pixels, and a pixel density of only 326 ppi, lacking 3D Touch functionality.
Performance-wise, the iPhone Xr also lags behind the iPhone Xs Max
The performance gap between the iPhone Xr and the iPhone Xs Max is evident in their processing power. While the iPhone Xr comes with 3GB of RAM, its elder sibling, the iPhone Xs Max, boasts a 4GB RAM, enabling superior processing power. However, the iPhone Xr still holds its ground, equipped with the same latest A12 chip as the iPhone Xs Max. This demonstrates that the iPhone Xs Max only has a slightly larger RAM capacity compared to its younger counterpart.

- iPhone Xs Max internal storage options: 64/256/512 GB
The iPhone Xr features a traditional single rear camera, while the iPhone Xs Max boasts a modern dual rear camera setup
The budget-friendly iPhone Xr is equipped with a single rear camera with a 12 MP resolution and f/1.8 aperture, while the iPhone Xs Max is furnished with a dual-camera setup featuring a 12 MP resolution and f/2.4 aperture, allowing users to capture portrait photos and achieve more effective background blur compared to its younger counterpart.
Both versions of these phones feature a 7 MP selfie camera.
The iPhone Xs Max outperforms the iPhone Xr in terms of performance and other features
In terms of battery performance, the budget-friendly iPhone Xr can last 90 minutes longer than the iPhone 8 Plus, while the iPhone Xs Max can last 90 minutes longer than the 2017 iPhone X. Additionally, there's a notable difference in water resistance technology between these two phones. The iPhone Xr is rated IP67 for water resistance, whereas the iPhone Xs Max is rated IP68, both with the added convenience of wireless charging.
