In my time on iPhone, I've tried out both the iPhone XR and the iPhone X, and while I've mostly stuck with the iPhone X, there's a lot to like about both! Today, seeing as someone asked, and seeing as we're spoilt for choice at the moment with the release of the iPhone 13 line as well, which of these two phones you should get if you're considering either one in 2021?

I'm using the XR right now and extremely happy with it. The battery is deteriorating but everything else is still fresh.
I’ve got the Xs (which is basically 95% the same as the X with a bit better performance) and it’s a solid phone. Mine is at 90% battery health and pretty much never stutters or lags. The biggest drawbacks tho are the battery and camera. I don’t think I’ve gone a single day without worrying what my battery % is at the top right. The battery is not horrifically bad it’s just you need to always be aware of it. It’s not like if you just forget that there’s a useable battery inside your phone and you use it throughout the whole day and not have to worry that the phone will die. No, you do have to worry. And the cameras advancements since the 11 pro speak for themselves really. Personally I was really looking forward to the 13 pro and if they had added some form of TouchID I’d have been sold on buying it. But in the world of masks no fingerprint recognition is a massive dealbreaker. I might even stick with the Xs for another 12 months until the 14 pro just for TouchID.

That's interesting you have issues with the battery lasting all day. The battery life on my X has been excellent, though I suspect my usage is probably different from yours. What kind of things do you do on your phone that use up the battery?
Gosh! This is the video I'm looking for! Thank you😭
Watching this on my X Definitely keeping it for at least 2 more years
dude, i was literally just asking this question a couple hours ago, nice timing on the vid
Very nice content and I'm really happy because it's really rare now someone reviews the iPhone x and XR in year 2021
Great work as always! I change phones constantly, kind of like a hobby and come to your channel for these exact videos. Thanks for all you do!
I've got the X around last September and I'm in love with it. It is my first iPhone and everything's been perfect so far but the fact that I can't use a second SIM is a bit disappointing. And if that's a thing I can deal with, it's just a beginning. I also can't make use of its 4k display because, apparently KZread doesn't support it on iPhones older than Xs, while it's definitely more than capable of it. And finally, I've literally just updated to iOS 15 30 minutes ago and half of the new features are not available on iPhone X and older devices. This is insane! A11 feels faster than most Android phones nowadays, it could've easily taken it. The lack of optimization is just ridiculous! I might consider updating to iPhone 13 mini when the price drops later at the end of next year to get a second SIM and a better support for future iOS releases. I really don't like the bigger size of iPhone 11/12/13 and I hope Apple won't discontinue the mini series for some time. iPhone X is perfect and could've been around for way more time, if only Apple didn't discontinue it the following year in favor of the Xs, leaving it without developers attention. With a smaller user base, even Google and Apple themselves don't care about optimizing their apps for A11, leaving it in the same group as A10 and previous iPhone generations. It is good, but it could've been so much better with better support. But still way better than an average 2017 Samsung though.

The feature issue will remain. Everytime theres a new ios release the newest devices will tend to have more of the newer features. Its just business at the end of the day. When you get the 13mini and the next time ios 16 and iphone 14 is released the same thing will happen.

I upgraded to iPhone 11 from my iPhone X back in 2019, yeah the OLED is nice, I still have it on my Apple Watch Series 5, but the performance, battery life, screen size and camera boost were worth it at least imo, I also got a frosted back transparent case for the 11 so it feels kinda like the 11 Pro.

But xs max more better than 11
Stumbled across this video when trying to make my choice between the two models and the photos you’ve taken on the X are of my auntie’s coffee shop in Ambleside! Small world 😂
Using the iPhone X paired with a series 2 watch. Love them both! They still work great! I have 0 complaints!! Will continue to use them for probably several more years!
My XR is at 96% Battery Health, really good battery for a day or more depending on the apps I use. Rear and front camera is noticeably not as good as the newer iPhone, especially low-light photos if you're ever in a dark setting but better than nothing. I can see why the XR was one of the best selling iPhones out of the recent releases now that I own an XR. Also, my brother has the Red SE 2020 and its A13 chip does help the rear camera have much better photos than my XR's rear camera, but he says the battery is below average-to average some days and carries one of those Mophie battey-case accessories when he knows he'll be using the phone alot. Other that the average cameras, the XR is pretty great.
I was able to purchase my mother's new phone thanks to this. It was down to these two. I went with the XR for speed and bigger screen. Thanks for the help!
Literally love these videos of yours. While everyone is busy w the new iPhone, you show that older iphones are still very very capable for average consumer work and we don't necessarily need the latest and greatest :') kudos to your content creation always.
Great video as always and congrats on 70k 👍.

The difference between the 2 is what I am considering. Thought I wanted iPhone X due to reviews and raves about OLED screen. But holding back both in my hands today am unsure now. Shop tell me XR is a year later and should be supported longer. Not big into taking photos. Bigger screen will make reading ebooks and watching videos easier than current 4.7” screen on current iPhone 6. Feel I am overthinking the options as iPhone X has become iconic. How are you finding the compare between both ? Any guidance to help me decide?

Not long ago I changed from a Samsung a71 (which had lots of problems) to an iPhone x and I have no regrets, although the battery isn't the best, it is smooth, good camera in my opinion, and has worked perfectly for little more than a year now.
Can you make videos about Iphone 8 Plus ? Does it still good to buy in 2021?
I got an iPhone XR in February this year still good phone Ngl pre good the battery is honestly the best thing
It’s maybe a bit to late but you can but an iphone 6s for $99 right now and it’s still on the latest software!
so far im still using the iphoneX and is it worth it if i upgrade to the iphone xr?
Blue xr lovely colour and stunning battery life. Bought refurbished xr and stunning battery life.
Please help me out, I'm considering between x and xr which one has the best camera and battery
Good work bro loves from Pakistan 🥰
i loved video but your hair i loved them more they are looking fascinating
In order to unlock using Face ID you have to look directly at the iPhone so that test of the x vs xr essential accurate because you had to look at one then the other to get them to unlock
3 hours ago, I ordered an Iphone X :D
This is our guy for old iphone’s review! 💯 I’m not cheap i just believe in recycling! ♻️ I really don’t need that 1000$ iphone, depreciation will get me 70% off in future! 🤷🏻♂️
with average use from day to day what is the battery life on a iphone xr?
I simply cannot live with an LCD display after using an OLED
The X is my pick since 5.8" phones are easier to wield I would get the S10 over XR anyway Same 6.1" but cheaper and comes with oled+tricam
Blue iPhone Xr here since 2 weeks, I previously had an iPhone X earlier this year but I don’t really notice the differences between the screens in my casual use… but for thé battery life there is a real difference, the size also can be an issue since it is heavy in the pockets when you don’t have the habit of big phones So I also think that it’s a matter of personal choice for that stuff but me personally I also prefer the iPhone X but the Xr still is a big deal in terms of price and neural engine 😋

Always enjoying your videos. As i have a X. I think it is better. 🥰
Here’s me watching this video on XR and smiling 🙂
Xr or XsMax?
This might be a hot take, but the display on the XR is better in my opinion. It has a higher total resolution and point resolution than the OLED on the X and I prefer the subpixel layout. The white point looks better to me although you can argue wether it’s more accurate (it can also vary quite a bit between units) and the difference in black levels are only apparent in dim to dark environments, which isn’t a big deal for me. The only advantages to the X for me are the steel frame, telephoto camera, better raw files (although you could argue that’s subjective), and more compact size.
The iPhone X doesn’t have the main features in iOS 15 (A12 chip or later required) and it has an A11 chip. But the XR has an A12 chip, so that iPhone will get the iOS 15 features. So I’ll obviously go for the iPhone XR, even though it only has one camera, compared to two cameras built with the iPhone X

A few reasons: even though the XR has only one camera like the older iPhones (2007-2015 era) the XR has all the iOS 15 features, which the X doesn’t have. And the X has two cameras because you can zoom in 2x closer to the shot. However, the X doesn’t have the iOS 15 features.

I’m getting the xr tmr plz god
The Xr is the best value iphone anyone in the market should get today, especially for T-Mobile USA and AT&T users. Nobody ever talks about this as it isn't a glamorous feature as a retina screen, but to put it simply the older iPhone X doesn't have newer Band 71 600 Mhz LTE spectrum, which provides much better reception and wall penetration. What good is an iPhone X if you have a weaker slower signal? If you want to take advantage of LTE's full features then the Xr or Xs should be the minimum iPhone anyone should be using in North America going forward into 2022+.
Xr or Xs??
I have both of these phones. The X is my personal phone, which I got this year. The XR is my work phone, which was provided by my work. I prefer the size of the X over the XR. The battery has been excellent for me on the X…seems as good as the 6 Plus, which was the best battery life I’ve ever had on a smartphone. The XR battery is excellent too, but hard for me to compare since I only use the XR for calls, emails, and some photos. I usually charge my XR once or twice a week. The X I charge on my commute to and from work but not typically during the night during my work week. The screen on the XR is great and the fact that it is lower resolution is not an issue in the slightest. Other than the blacks (only really noticeable side by side), I don’t see much of a difference…this thing about the XR’s screen was completely overblown. Both are amazing phones but the size of the X is what made up my mind over the XR.
Also the iPhone XR can support an additional eSim which is amazing for travelling and saving on data costs, whereas the X does not have this feature
