lola freckelton that’s a question you have to ask yourself if I were you I would get the car because it’s pretty right now because of the iPhone 11 launch.
I’m gonna upgrade to the iphone 8 plus soon because my friend has one and it’s way better than my 6s (i’ve had this since christmas 2017) and i’m ready to get rid of it
The 8+ is the last smartphone in its category..so its well built and improved from his past models...am happy to keep my 8+ for a couple of years..3 GB of RAM is still strong for iOS.
You did not mention that the portrait mode on the Xr only works with people in comparison to the 8plus which is not limited to only human faces. That may be important to people like myself.
But you don't have variable aperture in the old iphone generation... It's just a software thing and they should activate it also on the old a11 cpu iphone but they don't... I hate apple
Unchained Spirit however on the 8 plus portrait mode is unfortunately limited to the back cameras and not on the front which saddens me as an 8 Plus user but I think that may very well be this phones only flaw
Just purchased an 8+ after watching this video. Coming from a slowly dying LG G6(fingerprint sensor stopped working, battery is going bad, tired of burn in on the screen), that I bought because the screen cracked on my iPhone 6 and I wanted to try the android side of things. Just realized I prefer iOS, but was unsure whether to buy an 8 plus, or XR. I I can live without portrait selfies, as selfies aren't a big thing for me, honestly, and I'm not really worried if the main camera isn't the best. Mostly though, I prefer the fingerprint sensor, even if the 8 plus doesn't look as sleek as these new all screen phones, it at least is functionally solid and is all around great device.
Still loving my 8 plus. Didn’t want to upgrade as I actually love the old iPhone shape and home button. I’m thinking of getting the new iPad Pro tho. I have the 1st gen 12.9 version. Not sure if I should go smaller? How big is the smallest Pro now?
Planning to upgrade from the iPhone 6 to the iPhone XR soon but thank God I watched this, looks like I'm going to get me an iPhone 8 + instead because of the screen resolution!
Yk u can buy a home button? Yu can pur it on an xr. Im not sure if touch id will work... probs not... but it styll works as a home button if u like the experience of a home button... Home this helps x
The XR design is the future and the 8plus is from 2014 design. But remember this the XR is not a flagship phone and people will laugh at you with a 720p 330 PPI in late 2018.
Crow_2k11 Beats By Dre “And people will laugh at you with a 720p 330 PPI in late 2018”? Who cares what people think. Fuck their opinions. At first glance, you won’t even notice the difference if you’re not comparing the XR. People act as if the screen is blurry.
I own the XR and my wife has the 8 Plus. The biggest difference for me is that videos on the XR are smaller despite bing a bigger screen due to how Apple puts black pillars on the left and right of the screen to compensate for the notch. You can zoom the video if you want, but then you're purposely removing video content so that the video will fit the screen. So videos are better on the Plus. Also Safari is far more readable on the Plus due to the wider aspect ratio of the screen. The XR is very skinny and thus causes the text in Safari to shrink and Apple still doesn't let you manually adjust font sizes.
Nik3 WTF NO, You’re very misinformed. The XR doesn’t have OLED but LCD liquid retina and my question is what is the difference between previous LCD iPhones and the liquid retina
Ok so for all the people saying it’s a downgrade from the 8 plus to the XR because of the LCD display, 3D Touch, Fingerprint sensor and the camera then you haven’t seen the phone or used is it I used for 5 minutes the display was amazing colors on it were sharp and nice and you can check out the video were they compared the iPhone XR display with a 1080p one everyone said the XR was the better display let’s not forget we are talking about Apple here they know how to make things so that’s the display let’s talk about the camera It’s a one lens camera sure it has advantages and disadvantages For the advantages The One lens portrait mode will not tell you to keep backing up or moving forward because it’s all done by system and it’s also a wider lens camera even in portrait the only thing you are missing is the 2x zoom on the iPhone 8 Plus which nobody used also you are getting the same camera on the Xs max front and back so it’s an upgrade, For 3D Touch everyone knows it was annoying and no one used it because it was ass whenever you were on the control panel you had to forcefully press on the screen for the volume or brightness, For the fingerprint sensor 97% said that Face ID is way faster and more secure for example If someone puts the phone In front of your face while sleeping the phone will never turn on as it requires attention for it to turn on but on Touch ID I can easily hold your finger and open your phone also you are getting a better battery, better size but a bigger screen, full display and a A12 bionic chip all am saying is on paper the phone may seem like a downgrade but when you use it it’s an amazing premium feeling Phone and for the record I don’t own any of these so I have no reason to hate they are both amazing devices but am pointing out what people don’t see sorry for the long comment but my point is for the average consumer like most people the XR will be just perfect
That Decent Gamer How on iPhone 8 plus grab icon and make folder with this icon, group icon? When I click nothing happens , on Xr icon wiggling, and iPhone 8 plus how do this?
Hmm I’ve been using the iPhone 6 for the past 3 years and am now thinking of upgrading to either the 8+ or the xr, you think the 8+ is worth going for over the xr?
Ben R same but I have to choose , don’t get an xr and take the 8 plus or make more money and get the xr but it won’t be that soon .... supposedly a Christmas gift😭🤷🏽♂️
Cesar Andres But with a pathetic form factor. He’s right, the 8 literally has a design from 2013. It’s needlessly large for the small screen it delivers, and gesture based navigation is much, much better than the outdated home button.
@@BC08 You are aware some people have enough common sense to prioritize quality rather than a design. And as someone who's gone from a 6 to an 8 plus, I prefer the bigger phone.
i was so sure i will buy the the iPhone 8 plus after having my iPhone 6s plus for three years, but I saw the XR in the shop, and I really liked it, it feels new, thin and smaller, the display is just fine for me, and I compared it to the XS, and I could not feel any need to spend 300 euros more for an OLED Display. The camera was amazing, you don't see any differences to the XS or XS Max , you really need to spend minutes to find the differences. The only problem is 3D touch, I learned really to love it, but I am sure apple will have software updates bringing back this feature
Ao Mb i totally agree!!! Camera in "normal" mode is even better to the XS One because of the Wide angle. XR is even better looking than Xs .. Xs feels ....mmhhh... Old in a way..
Ekphrasys How does the Xs feel old when the Xr looks like a chinese clone of it? It's thicker & has thicker bezels. You're the first person Ive heard say the Xr looks better than the Xs 😂
jmiami89 Sorry but i find the Xs series Boring ... And i personally like bulkier phones... Bezels, this, that, display... It's a gorgeous phone. Period.
My Iphone 6s plus had just an accident and my insurance company paid a for a new one.... so I guess I will stick with it two more years. Battery life will suck a little bit and camera, but it still a decent phone...I will wait for a really a great innovation before upgrading
I finally got a full time job and I'm debating on the 8 plus or xr. I want to save for the x max but i feel that isnt worth it. Trying to join Apple from android
It depends on what you value in a smartphone lol also make sure you try them out in store first to see if they fit in your hand, especially the xs max bc that thing is gigantic
Leila Torres Personally i would go for the XR because it’ll be supported longer, is cheaper than the Xs Max and has most of the stuff it has, has tons of colors, and long battery life but those are just my priorities lol
Same Right now I got the Samsung S7edge and I dont know if I should buy the new samsung or one of these iphones.. IOS blocks a lot of things you can use with android phones
I would get the 8 plus. Maybe the iPhone XR has newer chipset, will be supported for a year longer, it has the notch, but the iPhone 8 Plus has better cameras, its screen resolution is wayy better than XR’s, and it has the good old home button.
I upgraded from the 8+ to the XR and just like it better. The only place i notice a “lower resolution” is apps that haven’t been updated yet which has gotten a lot better over the time being. I like the newer look of the XR it felt new and exciting where as when I got the 8+ it felt like a bigger faster iphone 6 that I had previously. the XR is gonna be a new experience that you’ll enjoy more and appreciate more. The 8 + was a great phone but just got boring immediately when the X came out.
The XR’s A12 Bionic chip allows it to be given more software updates in the future, meaning that the iPhone 8+ will stop supporting sooner software and the XR will still last a little longer.
🤷♂️ difference between A11 isn't that big. for example iOS 13 which is releasing this year is not supported by iPhone 5s (A7 chip). 6 and 6 Plus have newer cpu than 5s - Apple A8, but still those are not getting iOS 13 update. so Apple might do the same thing with A11 and A12 chips in the future.
8+. I have one and it is basically in brand new condition. I put A tempered glass right out the box from Apple and had a back protective glass installed as well. The battery life still lasts around 13-14 hrs and is just brilliant. No bugs, and super reliable.
Hey I retract my statement after getting the Xr in using it I have to admit the Xr it’s a pretty goddamn good phone it beats the iPhone 8 Plus and it’s a hard thing for me to say because I love the 8 plus but the Xr Battery life and the screen resolution surprisingly is really good

Thanks so much for this review. I was considering the upgrade. My daughter passed her 8 Plus down to me a little over a year ago and I think I would surely miss the home button!
@@mr.ditziiiiii116 I bought iPhone Xr. Is a good deal. It doesn't really bother me that it doesn't have 3D touch (I never really used it). And the resolution and pixel density complain I think you may notice something if you had an Oled phone before. But if You upgrade from an iPhone 6, 7, 8, you won't see any difference.
I traded in the 8+ for XR, really like the XR, doesn't feel as big and bulky, XR seems much faster to me and the battery life is a lot better imho, worth the upgrade to me for sure.
Played with both extensively today. For my hands the 8+ was just too big. I kept almost dropping it. The XR is not without that issue somewhat as well, but overall just felt better in my hand. Also interestingly found that running Microsoft Word on all models of the 7 or 8 caused the phones to get QUITE warm. The XR only got slightly warm when I did same test. I also really like the gesture navigation and am ready to leave the button behind I think. That design just looks archaic to me now. And despite what I anticipated beforehand, the notch doesn’t bother me in the least. So for me, the XR is the clear winner. I just wish all these phones didn’t cost so much. If the mid range models were about $100 cheaper it would be more reasonable I think. The upper oled X's need to come down even more though. They should top out at $800. No phone should cost over a thousand bucks...that’s just ridiculous.
I have the iphone 8 plus for quite sometime and dont have any plans on upgrading. Honestly if i were buying today, ill get the xr. Better processor and newer tech. I dont really use the force touch and camera is not that important to me.
Honestly Saki you're unique.....no one and I mean no one gives a more sincere review than you. I can come in here and calm down and look at iPhones and not get into arguments. I like the 8+...I've always said that if I had to get an iPhone it would be the one and now it's cheaper.....here's the irony you guys have jsut a 50 dollar difference...while here it's about 200 dollars cheaper and I get the traditional iPhone design which I happen to like alot. It has the same chip as my iPad 6th gen which I bought this year and it's fast no doubt about it. Not a fan of Face ID....I prefer fingerprint scanner. Next to each other they look the same size....screenwise....and I ove the display on the 8+ I would get that one...at the end of the day it's a flagship smartphone, no compromises. TY Ski
Excellent video as usual. Another thing to consider for those people that want a larger storage solution. The Xr has a 128g option for $799. The 8 plus next step up is 256g at $849...
Same here I feel like the 8+ is a better deal but I don’t want to make the wrong decision and not get the xr if it is better, can someone help me even if it’s your opinion
Someone probably already said this but you left out one important detail - in the future, Apple will stop supporting the 8 for iOS updates before it will stop supporting the XR.
I ordered a 8 plus from amazon and a XR from apple, both renewed but the XR is renewed certified by apple, so.... I don't care about their differences! they're phones at the end of the day, you call and text from them, they both can get apps, and they both have cameras.
Someone tell me which one to get I still don’t know😂😂I like the home button but I feel like I could get used to not having it. I currently have an iPhone 7
Maybe because I came from Samsung and blackberry user for quite a long time. The iPhone 8 plus makes me contented. I was even happy with the iPhone 6 only if my aunt didn't take it. Will be forever an apple enthusiast onwards with a ❤️☺️
Great review and unbiased. Excellent job on pointing out the pros and cons. Because of your review, I upgraded from an iPhone 7 to the iPhone XR. I like the bigger screen and having the more current iPhone model with the aster processor for gaming. It is actually better without the home button and I learned all the new gestures I navigate around the iPhone XR screen in less than 30 minutes. There is no learning curve as some complained about. It’s so much better. Thanks for the review and a extremely happy iPhone XR user/owner here👍🤓
I got an 8plus before, and now I got the Xr. I think Xr is the best. Camera, chipset, battery and all. I also got an Iphone 6 to 6plus to 6s+, 7plus and Iphone X. I think I’ll stick with Xr for now and upgrade soon if Iphone releases a new better phone.
Denise van Doorn the funny thing is. When it was announced all the big RUclipsrs were dogging it. Now all of the sudden, after apple stock is dripping and sales and production of the XR are down, the RUclipsrs and praising it.. make you think who is paying who
The only product i can afford from apple is apple juice(:

i was so sure i will buy the the iPhone 8 plus after having my iPhone 6s plus for three years, but I saw the XR in the shop, and I really liked it, it feels new, thin and smaller, the display is just fine for me, and I compared it to the XS, and I could not feel any need to spend 300 euros more for an OLED Display. The camera was amazing, you don't see any differences to the XS or XS Max , you really need to spend minutes to find the differences. The only problem is 3D touch, I learned really to love it, but I am sure apple will have software updates bringing back this feature
Ao Mb i totally agree!!! Camera in "normal" mode is even better to the XS One because of the Wide angle. XR is even better looking than Xs .. Xs feels ....mmhhh... Old in a way..
I have an Xr in blue it’s actually thicker than all other iPhones, which I don’t mind at all gives it a nice weighted feel.
Ekphrasys How does the Xs feel old when the Xr looks like a chinese clone of it? It's thicker & has thicker bezels. You're the first person Ive heard say the Xr looks better than the Xs 😂
jmiami89 Sorry but i find the Xs series Boring ... And i personally like bulkier phones... Bezels, this, that, display... It's a gorgeous phone. Period.
My Iphone 6s plus had just an accident and my insurance company paid a for a new one.... so I guess I will stick with it two more years. Battery life will suck a little bit and camera, but it still a decent phone...I will wait for a really a great innovation before upgrading
I will stick to my iphone 8 plus cause i'm inlove with it ♥️

James Mansfield why ew?
discontinued next year !!
I finally got a full time job and I'm debating on the 8 plus or xr. I want to save for the x max but i feel that isnt worth it. Trying to join Apple from android
Leila Torres i def recommend the 8 plus
It depends on what you value in a smartphone lol also make sure you try them out in store first to see if they fit in your hand, especially the xs max bc that thing is gigantic
Leila Torres Personally i would go for the XR because it’ll be supported longer, is cheaper than the Xs Max and has most of the stuff it has, has tons of colors, and long battery life but those are just my priorities lol
Same Right now I got the Samsung S7edge and I dont know if I should buy the new samsung or one of these iphones..
IOS blocks a lot of things you can use with android phones
I would get the 8 plus. Maybe the iPhone XR has newer chipset, will be supported for a year longer, it has the notch, but the iPhone 8 Plus has better cameras, its screen resolution is wayy better than XR’s, and it has the good old home button.
I upgraded from the 8+ to the XR and just like it better. The only place i notice a “lower resolution” is apps that haven’t been updated yet which has gotten a lot better over the time being. I like the newer look of the XR it felt new and exciting where as when I got the 8+ it felt like a bigger faster iphone 6 that I had previously.
the XR is gonna be a new experience that you’ll enjoy more and appreciate more. The 8 + was a great phone but just got boring immediately when the X came out.
Breeyahn hows the battery?
The camera on the 8 plus is way better tho
@@strawbolita why are you even saying this on a 3 almost 4 year old comment.. no tf it’s not i had both the xr was worlds better
@@breeyahn you’re dumb bro the iPhone 8 Plus records in 4K 60fps smh it’s not bad & the resolution on it allows you to enjoy said videos
@@breeyahnbro all they did is ask chill the heck out?
The IPhone 8 is biggger but the IPhone XR has a bigger screen
Also there both great phones so don’t fight about it in the comments
The XR’s A12 Bionic chip allows it to be given more software updates in the future, meaning that the iPhone 8+ will stop supporting sooner software and the XR will still last a little longer.
🤷♂️ difference between A11 isn't that big. for example iOS 13 which is releasing this year is not supported by iPhone 5s (A7 chip). 6 and 6 Plus have newer cpu than 5s - Apple A8, but still those are not getting iOS 13 update. so Apple might do the same thing with A11 and A12 chips in the future.
Mate both phones will stop being supported lol
We’ll all be replaced. Siri and Alexa will run the world
I guess I’m staying with my 8+ 🤙🏼

Yeah bro! It's better anyhow, love my 8 Plus with the Mous case
Dylan Weise pfff!!😂😂😂
8+. I have one and it is basically in brand new condition. I put A tempered glass right out the box from Apple and had a back protective glass installed as well. The battery life still lasts around 13-14 hrs and is just brilliant. No bugs, and super reliable.
iPhone 8 Plus looks so beautiful, especially the gold one! Who agrees

update : i got the xr and i love it !! i think everyone should chose the xr ☺️

Princess M Get the 8 Plus Gold it's so pretty
xr has a bit better battery, but does not have touch id. thats all.
The battery capacity for the 8 plus is not 2961mah. I believe it is 2691mah.
Another great video though!
Right... You noticed that too?
Cameron Cordle, the iphone xr has a better battery life than the 8 plus ( 2 hours and 25 mins more of extra juice )
CrucialConflict ok?
Hey I retract my statement after getting the Xr in using it I have to admit the Xr it’s a pretty goddamn good phone it beats the iPhone 8 Plus and it’s a hard thing for me to say because I love the 8 plus but the Xr Battery life and the screen resolution surprisingly is really good
its a way better phone , until you dont try it for several days , you will never will.

Thanks so much for this review. I was considering the upgrade. My daughter passed her 8 Plus down to me a little over a year ago and I think I would surely miss the home button!
IVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS!!!! This exact comparison!!!! Thank you SO MUCH!
8 plus all the way.

Just upgraded to an XR from a 6 and I love it
same bro
6:25 The 8 plus has 2691 mah battery not 2961 as u said
I came here 'cause tomorrow I buy a new phone and these are my options. 8 plus or Xr. (Upgrading from iPhone 7)
Which one did u buy ??
@@mr.ditziiiiii116 I bought iPhone Xr. Is a good deal. It doesn't really bother me that it doesn't have 3D touch (I never really used it). And the resolution and pixel density complain I think you may notice something if you had an Oled phone before. But if You upgrade from an iPhone 6, 7, 8, you won't see any difference.
Same, today I'm getting one of those two and upgrading from an Android but I've used the 6s before so I'm familiar with the brand
Xr
N SQUAD if youre getting the XsMax or 8+ i rlly recommend the Xs max...Oled display and since ur getting XSmax the screen is gonna be even bigger
Watching after I just broke my 8 plus lmao 😂
Same Lol 😂
Great video subbed. I'm going to get the iPhone 8 plus over the XR. Finally upgrading my pos Cricket Samsung Galaxy Grand Prime. Can't wait!
I traded in the 8+ for XR, really like the XR, doesn't feel as big and bulky, XR seems much faster to me and the battery life is a lot better imho, worth the upgrade to me for sure.
I have the 8 plus and I’m waiting till next year
It's a great phone. Personally i would hold on to it until the notch goes away
Same
Chill With Xavier yeah i m also
They postponed it to 2020
I come from a plus version and now I got the XR. I was worry by the screen, but it is gorgeous and love Face ID
How's the camera? And does the notch bother you?
Played with both extensively today. For my hands the 8+ was just too big. I kept almost dropping it. The XR is not without that issue somewhat as well, but overall just felt better in my hand. Also interestingly found that running Microsoft Word on all models of the 7 or 8 caused the phones to get QUITE warm. The XR only got slightly warm when I did same test. I also really like the gesture navigation and am ready to leave the button behind I think. That design just looks archaic to me now. And despite what I anticipated beforehand, the notch doesn’t bother me in the least. So for me, the XR is the clear winner. I just wish all these phones didn’t cost so much. If the mid range models were about $100 cheaper it would be more reasonable I think. The upper oled X's need to come down even more though. They should top out at $800. No phone should cost over a thousand bucks...that’s just ridiculous.
The iPhone 8+ is as well, way to big for my hand, and popsockets don't help.
8 plus is far better for reading text because has a wider screen and the letters are bigger
*Coughs* Samsungs S10
If it was too big fair enough but 8 Plus is far better
@@danielpin7167 *Laughs* the fact that the S10 is trash
I have the iphone 8 plus for quite sometime and dont have any plans on upgrading. Honestly if i were buying today, ill get the xr. Better processor and newer tech. I dont really use the force touch and camera is not that important to me.
Thought about switching to the XR but I think I’ll just stick to that 8 plus life💪🏽💯
Fuk you
Honestly Saki you're unique.....no one and I mean no one gives a more sincere review than you. I can come in here and calm down and look at iPhones and not get into arguments. I like the 8+...I've always said that if I had to get an iPhone it would be the one and now it's cheaper.....here's the irony you guys have jsut a 50 dollar difference...while here it's about 200 dollars cheaper and I get the traditional iPhone design which I happen to like alot. It has the same chip as my iPad 6th gen which I bought this year and it's fast no doubt about it. Not a fan of Face ID....I prefer fingerprint scanner. Next to each other they look the same size....screenwise....and I ove the display on the 8+ I would get that one...at the end of the day it's a flagship smartphone, no compromises. TY Ski
Hi Jennifer,
Where the iphone 8+ is 200$ cheaper?
Excellent video as usual.
Another thing to consider for those people that want a larger storage solution. The Xr has a 128g option for $799. The 8 plus next step up is 256g at $849...
128g is a no brainer with the XR.
Just got an 8+ !! I love the home button
Great job! You answered all of my questions. I am going to go with the 8plus!! I like the home button better than the notch.
I’m watching this on my new XR 😂 I personally thing it’s AWESOME
Epicduck8789 so after time of using it, how is it?
The battery life is bomb too! I don’t have to charge my phone until the very end of the day!
Same
By default is video zoomed in on the XR which ultimately means you’re missing some of the visual space?
8+ Perfect !🙌
Happy with my 8+! Won't upgrade till maybe 2020
Bought my iPhone 8 Plus few days ago. Super happy with it
I'm still rocking my I-phone 📱 6s Plus waiting to see what kind of deals there will be for the holidays.
rdg091 you’re right! Definitely forgot all about the deals!! Thanks for mentioning it! I’ll wait until then.
Same here I feel like the 8+ is a better deal but I don’t want to make the wrong decision and not get the xr if it is better, can someone help me even if it’s your opinion
Perfect vid for me since I’m going from the 8 Plus to the xr
Don't you dumb
It's not that different between it tow
May be the 8 plus is better bro like don't be dumb and buy a 10r
I’ve had the 8 plus now for 3 weeks and I am very pleased with the phone, money well spent 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
the iphone Xr is a good upgrade from Iphone 7 or Iphone 8 not the PLus version
Kenocridble i upgraded my phone to XR from 7
I like the 8 plus better if the X had a 1080p display I would have gotten it but I got XMAX and love it
Someone probably already said this but you left out one important detail - in the future, Apple will stop supporting the 8 for iOS updates before it will stop supporting the XR.
Michael Stafford that will be in like 6 years lol
Right that wont be until like 2021-2022 so you dont even have to worry ab that
By the time they stop supporting the 8, I will already be looking at a new phone anyway, so I'm not exactly worried.
I would still get the 8Plus. I can't stand notches. Note9 rules!
8 plus is too big get the regular 8
Samsung sucks
U got it right..
What the fuck is a notch what notch
8+ is 2691 mAh not 2961 mAh => 6:28
Very nice review, very good comparison, comprehensive and no bias !
Thank you
This was informative. Good conclusion too! 😁
The iPhone XR is SOO amazing I really recommend it. I have a blue XR and it’s amazing ✔️
It really is amazing! I just got the yellow XR and it's easily the best phone I've ever had experience with/owned.
but the snapchat camera quality tho 😔
Got black🖤
I ordered a 8 plus from amazon and a XR from apple, both renewed but the XR is renewed certified by apple, so....
I don't care about their differences! they're phones at the end of the day, you call and text from them, they both can get apps, and they both have cameras.
I’m thinking of downgrading to an 8+, because of the home button I have a Xr right now but anyway how is the iPhone 8 Plus ?
Someone tell me which one to get I still don’t know😂😂I like the home button but I feel like I could get used to not having it. I currently have an iPhone 7
samee . thinking to get a new phone after the 12 came out
Get a gesture based iphone, i came from a 7 and it’s been nothing but good...when you make the switch you’ll realize how bad the 7 was
Trying to decide between these two phones please help!!
I got both of them and quite honestly. I’d preferably use the 8 plus more. But the iPhone XR has a bit better camera and a bigger screen.
i recently upgraded to the XR, i love it!!
Is it big or small
@@kennethhazel2649 I have small hands and I think its the perfect size :)

Maybe because I came from Samsung and blackberry user for quite a long time. The iPhone 8 plus makes me contented. I was even happy with the iPhone 6 only if my aunt didn't take it. Will be forever an apple enthusiast onwards with a ❤️☺️
Great review and unbiased. Excellent job on pointing out the pros and cons. Because of your review, I upgraded from an iPhone 7 to the iPhone XR. I like the bigger screen and having the more current iPhone model with the aster processor for gaming. It is actually better without the home button and I learned all the new gestures I navigate around the iPhone XR screen in less than 30 minutes. There is no learning curve as some complained about. It’s so much better. Thanks for the review and a extremely happy iPhone XR user/owner here👍🤓
Excellent review , Thank You 👌🏻
upgrading from my 6 to the 8 plus
sophia grant did u upgrade
Avadonia yes i’m on it right now. it was definitely the right phone to get!
sophia grant would you say it’s better than the XR (I have 6s Rn)
Avadonia yeah i like it better. my mom has the xr and i didn’t like it so i got the 8 plus
sophia grant sorry for asking too much.
But how’s the battery?
Thank you for this video it help me make A decision on getting the iPhone XR or keeping my 8 plus.. I will be keeping my 8 plus..
I’m watching on a xr and so far it’s been great
I got an 8plus before, and now I got the Xr.
I think Xr is the best. Camera, chipset, battery and all. I also got an Iphone 6 to 6plus to 6s+, 7plus and Iphone X.
I think I’ll stick with Xr for now and upgrade soon if Iphone releases a new better phone.
You would be stupid to “Upgrade” an 8+ to an Xr
lmao
FBI Loli Division nah
FBI Loli Division ya that’s a downgrade
Xr is a iPhone 4 in an xr jacket. Lmao bad camera, 720hp screen way too pricy.
Denise van Doorn the funny thing is. When it was announced all the big RUclipsrs were dogging it. Now all of the sudden, after apple stock is dripping and sales and production of the XR are down, the RUclipsrs and praising it.. make you think who is paying who
