    Right my partner is coming from android and wants an iPhone now (I’ve currently got the 11 and she’s been converted) now I’ve found an XS and an XR in similar condition with a £75 price difference between the 2 and I was wondering if the XS is worth the price difference over the XR

    she’s not really got the money to go for the 11 but I was just looking for advice

    If it were me, I wouldn’t hesitate to get her the iPhone X🅁. If she’s been converted as you’ve stated, it’s probably because of iOS more than the hardware, in my opinion. Everyone that I’ve recommended the iPhone X🅁 to have thanked me numerous times and have thoroughly enjoyed using it.

    Thanks for the reply, to be honest I was leaning towards the XR but I found a deal on the XS for a refurbished one in A grade with 12 months warranty for £429 so for the extra 30-40 over the XR thought it might be the better phone

    Hardware-wise, the iPhone X🅂 is the better phone.

    I would get the xs over the xr, especially if they were similarly priced.

    You get an oled display, extra telephoto camera, ip68 water resistance, 4x4 Mimo, faster modem, Dolby vision, and is smaller, thinner, and lighter than the XR.

    Best of luck.

    Both are awesome options but I completely agree with this!

    Yes but not by much and yet adds quite a bit of bulk and weight, 2659 mAh vs 2942 mAh.

    and £75 cheaper, but there could be a good reason to stump up the difference !
