I currently have a iPhone 7 Plus and will be upgrading today. I am debating between the iPhone XR and iPhone Xs. What would you recommend and why?

Figure out whether or not both devices can do what you want it to do and then decide whether or not the extras associated with the iPhone XS is worth the extra price. If not, go with the iPhone X🅁.

Your carrier’s store should allow you to try out both phones. If not, look online and on YouTube for details about both.

It depends on YOUR needs - both devices have their pros/cons.

Why to get the iPhoneXR (Pros)?
- better battery life than the Xs.
- lower price
- more color options
- if you prefer a LCD screen over OLED - it still rocks a LCD one (some people prefer that).

Why to get the iPhone Xs?(Pros)
- smaller bezels
- dual-camera setup (additional Tele-photo lense)
- OLED with higher resolution (OLED might come handy with upcoming iOS13 and Darkmode - this will save battery)
- stainless steel frame (bit more durable)

What's the same?
-Chipset
-Main camera

It's up to your needs.
