I didn't know the xr had a larger battery. Not long after they came out, I read somewhere ′I don't remember the source or I surely would give credit′ that the xs was supposed to have had much better battery life than the xr, but it didn't, because they thought there were other battery-thraining internals in the xs that hurt its battery life. They weren't very specific about just what made its battery life shorter than they had hoped, given its more efficient display. I just hope that for those who keep their xr phones for a long time, there will still be parts to repair their displays if needed. I admit that if I had been replacing my phone this year, that 300 dollar difference in price would have been a major persuader for me to buy the xr. I hope it won't be such a difference this fall.

I think OLED is the superior technology though, but that doesn't mean LCD is obsolete. I've read plenty of reviews recently where side by side the XS looks better than the XR with blacker blacks and more contrast, but that doesn't mean the LCD display on the XR isn't a great display. Remember the XR has a larger battery, 2,942 MAH versus 2,658, plus Apple may not have optimized IOS for the OLED display and how people use their phones. > On 6/5/19 8:30 AM, Sieghard Weitzel wrote: > I don't think that LCD is obsolete technology quite yet, it may not be used > for smartphones that much any more since OLED screens are theoretically more > efficient and all that, but if this is the case why is it that the iPhone XR > seems to have better battery life than the iPhone xS?
