Is the iPhone XR a steal of a deal?

Apple got the line up wrong. They should have made the Xs 5.8 inch the $749 phone with the new chip but same specs as the X. The XR the $999 with all the colors and the same specs as the XS max and the XS max the $1099 phone. I don’t get them making a bigger phone but with inferior specs.

With that logic, the iPhone 8 Plus should have had a higher cost than the iPhone X last year.

XR starts at $749 with all of the same features as the XS/Max. Does this make your decision harder or is the XR not even an option?

I thought about it and couldn’t do it. What’s the point of being able to take High-quality photos and record 4K video if you can even take advantage of it on your screen that you’re looking at it all on . And I do take a lot of photos & record videos with my phone, not to mention my phone is the main point of media consumption for me as I’m on the go a lot. It is more convenient and easier for me to do that on my phone with larger and good Quality screen versus pulling out my laptop and I’m not a big fan of tablets So for my That lower screen is a no go. Not to mention I feel like got robbed a little bit with the XS Max on the price (I like the phone but still) and given that I use android phones also For my personal life there are too many solid options for me to be able to pay 75for fun with that screen resolution and be able to justify to myself saying I got a budget version of anything that said if you’re hard-core into the apple ecosystem don’t care about the screen at all and need to upgrade your phone and aren’t going anywhere I think that’s probably your best bet if you can’t afford to drop $1000-$1200 on the phone
