The iPhone XR’s LCD no doubt costs less for Apple than the XS’s OLED, thus we expect replacements to be cheaper too. iPhone XR LCD- Cheaper, But Avoid the Low-Quality Copies
From the point of view of screen refurbishment and recycling, this makes them almost completely different- the XS series will no doubt be similar to the X, with the XR being more like the pre-OLED iPhones. Differing Screen Technologies and Cost Implicationsįrom our point of view, the biggest difference between the models is that the XS and XS Max use an OLED screen (like the iPhone X), whereas- despite its “Liquid Retina” marketing- the iPhone XR’s display is based on traditional LCD technology. From “just” £749, the XR is obviously intended as a cheaper marginally less expensive version. If you don’t have that much change down the back of your sofa, you’ll have to settle for the lower-end iPhone XR. The XS and the XS Max are the high-end models starting(!) at £999 and £1099 respectively the XS is most obviously a direct replacement for the immediately-discontinued iPhone X at the same size and price. In this article, we want to focus mainly on speculation regarding the iPhone XS, Max and XR screens as well as other potential repair issues. At the time of writing the XS and XS Max are imminent, and the XR will be out towards the end of October. You can view the original version here.)
