The iPhone XR is a Failure. #Helpful Post

hey guys this is Austin a couple months

ago I did a video talking about why I

switch to the iPhone ten are a big part

of that is because so many people are

hating on this phone I thought surely it

can't be that bad so when my personal 10

s broke I figured why not give the 10r a

shot after three months of using this as

my daily I have a lot of thoughts since

I did my last video there have been a

lot of headlines that the iPhone 10 are

is a failure take one look at the Apple

website and they are seriously pushing

the ten are not like does it get front

page space but on top of that they're

really pushing a promotion that is all

about getting it for a little bit

cheaper with a phone trade in something

the Apple very rarely advertises this is

all for good reason the price of the 10r

was recently slashed by 20% in China and

there have been carriers here in the

u.s. such as t-mobile who have regularly

been doing a buy one get one free or

even a free phone when you sign up for a

new line that is not something that you

traditionally see with iPhones and it's

all indicative of the fact this is just

not selling as well as they had hoped

Apple even had to revise their earnings

report for the first time in nearly 20

years almost entirely on the back of i

phone demand being weaker than they

expected now it's not exactly this

clear-cut is that Tim Cook has gone on

record as saying that the iPhone 10 R is

the best-selling iPhone right now but

that does really mean a lot and you're

comparing it to things like the 10s and

10's Mac's

both of which are significantly more

expensive phones if you were to stack

the iPhone 10 hour side by side with say

and I like an iPhone 6s or seven my

assumption is that this is not selling

quite as well and that's a big problem

here's the thing though the iPhone 10 R

is my favorite iPhone you can buy today

and that's not even counting the price

so let's just run through what you can

get with the 10r

first of all one of the most important

components is that Apple a12 processor

this is something that's easy to

overlook but it is a big deal having a

fast SOC that's also efficient makes a

big difference in pretty much all

aspects of a phone's performance it also

has the same front and rear facing

cameras and you are losing the telephoto

option from the 10 s and the 10 s max

but if I'm going to be completely real

with you I really don't miss it now if

you have really good lighting it is a

nice thing to have and the portrait mode

can work out pretty well sometimes but

about 95% of the time I'm using the

wide-angle camera and here the iPhone 10

R is completely identical to the much

much more expensive options aka

Tenace and the x max the issue with

telephoto is that you have a smaller

sensor with an inferior lens it

generally just doesn't look quite as

good as when you shoot it on the main

shooter and while yes portrait mode on

the iPhone 10 R is not as good as

something like the pixel it's decent

enough that I really don't have any

major complaints that is the next step

up is to go to that pixel beyond that

the 10s and the 10s max don't make a big

difference to me and compared to the 10s

you've got those same great speakers you

have the same wireless charging you also

have a ton of what I think are pretty

cool colors the biggest difference

really is the display whereas the 10s

and the test max have OLED something

that's very common across the industry

right now the 10r has to make do with a

lowly IPS panel but you know what it is

really not bad no yes it should be

higher resolution it's not even quite

1080p but the important thing is is that

to my eye unless you're really pixel

peeping it does not look bad and we take

all of this and combine it with the fact

that the iPhone 10 R is a full $250 less

than the 10 as it starts to seem almost

reasonably priced the 10 s wasn't $1000

however my favorite feature by far is

the battery life compared to the 10s Max

and especially the 10s it is a night and

day difference wishing to the 10r it

just lasts so much longer when I daily

the iPhone 10 eyes I was really lucky to

make it through a full day without

hitting the charger and yet with the 10r

most nights I don't even bother to

charge it a few minutes here and there

at my desk or in the car is all I need

to make it through a day and the next

day this is especially important when

I'm traveling so I recently spent a week

in Vegas for CES and now once I need to

plug in the iPhone 10 throughout the day

in fact my best day was I pulled the

phone off the charger two o'clock in the

morning and 16 hours later with six

hours of screen on and two hours of

screen off I still had like 16% left

this thing is an endurance champ in a

world where Android phones are getting

bigger and bigger batteries the iPhone

10 R is the only iPhone that you can buy

today that has good enough battery life

as far as I'm concerned now the 8 plus

last year is probably the closest to

something like that

but realistically a lot of phones can

get you through a day of medium use or

light use but the 10r is the first time

they've been able to make it through a

full day of proper use I think it's

something that people are seriously

overlooking when they take a look at the

10r it is by far my favorite features

the phone I really feel like the iPhone

10 R doesn't deserve the

bad rap that it's gotten as far as I'm

concerned this is the only iPhone in

2019 so far that I recommend buying it's

got the right blend of performance

camera and importantly it's got that

battery life
