Zack isn't above criticizing phones while he test them but dude slaughtered the iPhone XR.
"Charging $800 for this is like robbing al old folks home. Yeah it's easy and your targets won't notice but it's just wrong"

That last line was vicious. "I'll give away this blue one. You can always sell it and go buy yourself a real phone"

Saw the XR today in the store. The phone is nice. The screen hate is way over blown. Plus the colors are nice!

You can't use phone overseas though and it cant be purchased unlocked.

Phone is nice though!

Why can't it be purchased unlocked?

Why can't it be purchased unlocked?

It can be. The sim free model isn’t available yet but if you buy it full price now it’s unlocked it just comes with a SIM card you have to take out.

Except that was a budget phone and this is a phone for people who want an iPhone that looks like the X style but cost only a little less. They think they're saving a couple hundred dollars buying this but it actually cost a couple hundred more than it should be. The things they cut back on this phone at least to me seem like they aren't as much passing most of that savings on to the consumer.

he's a known apple hater

 

[drifter]

I remember back I said the XR wasn't that bad a buy and dudes were wylin. I actually think it might be the best buy, I've been using the XS Max since it came out and can't tell a difference. Matter of fact I might like the XR more, right in that sweet spot size wise and should have a longer lasting battery than the Max. Don't really care about the telephoto lens.

Just gotta decide whether or not I feel like being bothered to sell this phone and which color I'd get. Leaning towards blue.

 

[MikelArteta]

Bought an iPhone 7 and iOS

Will eventually upgrade down the line.

i have iphone x got it for 29 dollars

went to another phone company and my old one called me back offering me it

meh its ok, i actually don't see the difference between my essential phone and the iphone x except its slimmer and camera is better.

 

[Cladyclad]

Bought my iPad Air 2 off Swappa for 150$ 2 weeks ago. Fell in love with my 1st tablet. Saw the keynote for the iPad Pro. Copped the the 11 inch jawn. Trading in my air 2 for 120$. Can’t wait.

 

[Cartier Murphy]

Got my XR in the mail yesterday haven’t opened it yet though since I haven’t had time, but I’m gonna tinker with it tomorrow and see what I’ve been missing out on

 

[Stir Fry]

None of these X's have swayed me into upgrading from my tried and proven 6s+.

I think i'll be able to hold off for another year, or even two

 

[Armchair Militant]

Wanna go back to Apple but I don't wanna drop a stack on a phone.


XR didn't look bad in person.

 

[Sonny Bonds]

I got the XR. Still getting used to iOS, but I like it so far.
