Great device and screen don’t really see any difference from the so called better ones just a better price!

I looked at the XR and XS side by side today and there is a big difference. I wear progressive eyeglasses so when look at something up close through the bottom of the lenses it is very very clear. Probably better than most people who don’t wear glasses. The difference is clearly visible. That said, most people won’t notice it because our eyes aren’t as good as we think they are.
Are you referring to the displays?
Yes. The XR display is good, not great. The XS and Max are great.
It's same as the 8 just bigger, after the Max the 8 has been my favourite iPhone, should of kept it.

Having the same PPI on a bigger screen actually makes the bigger screen inferior to the smaller screen.
To achieve the same ppi means having to add pixels. If the same number of pixels was used between both displays then the XR would have a lower ppi. So they have the same ppi and therefore the same resolution.
Exactly that’s why the 8 was 720p and the Xr is a weird 800-900p. Can’t remember off the top of my head.
They’re all something like 828p. Even the 8. That’s why apps like YouTube let you select 1080p, it scales it down to the screens full resolution, but it’s still higher quality than 720p.
“They’re all”?? Only 2 recent iPhones have 326ppi. The 8 and XR. The 8+ has 401ppi and its screen is noticeably better than the 8. If Apple had used a 401ppi screen in the XR this entire screen debate would’ve been avoided.

The iPhone 8+ resolution is 1080 x 1920. The iPhone 8 resolution is 1334 x 750. The iPhone XR is 828 x 1792.

I wonder how many that have an Xr have complaints about the screen quality. It may be different on paper than the other X phones but from what I’ve seen folks love it. If my Max had a 326ppi display I doubt I’d enjoy the device any less. In fact, with an LCD display like the Xr wouldn’t there be less chance, at least theoretically, of screen burn-in?

I have the XR and had the chance to compare in person against the X, and XS Max at one of the local Targets. The XS Max, to me looked fake and artificial with crispness and shadows, too bright. My XR looked smooth an natural. Just my opinion.
