There are a lot of crickets on this forum. Anybody with me and getting an Xr? 128gb white for me. Did everyone else jump on the Xs(Max) bandwagon? I bought the xs max but I just don’t get along with OLED and the size was a bit much for me.

What do you mean when you say you don’t get along with OLED?

It’s just a personal preference thing. I could never get an X that had an even display. Not talking about blue shift, but I had pink spots around the screen on the couple of different models I tried. My 8plus was the best phone screen I have ever used. The XsMax I had was terribly yellow and the blue shift on that phone was terrible. Which I know is a characteristic of OLED I just never really encountered it in the few OLED android phones I have used over the years.

I have no plans to upgrade this time around from my current iPhone X. Having said that, if I somehow were to damage it, I would consider buying an iPhone XR even though I don’t prefer its dimensions.

No its a downgrade from XS Max, unless you suffer from PMW would be the only reason, it's more suited to those going from a 6/7/8, even v a 8 plus could be debatable.

I am getting the XR specifically for the advanced color accuracy of the LCD screen. The only thing I will regret is no 3D Touch.

I'm getting the XR in red, 128GB. I preordered yesterday morning sometime after 9 am. I never planned on waiting until 3:01 am because I knew I could just wait until getting up the next morning. :p I kept debating on whether to go with 128GB or 256, and ultimately, 128 won out.

I went the XS Max route but the XR was second on the list with regard to what looked most intriguing during the announcement.

I considering getting an XR but I’m very happy with the XS Max. That said I still find the XR a very interesting device and I look forward to seeing it in person.
