iPhone XR vs 8 Plus - Real World Differences! By AppleInsider

The iPhone 10r has been available for three months now and there are still many users reluctant to upgrade from their old iPhones. We've had the chance to spend a good amount of time with both the iPhone 10, our and the iPhone 8 plus. So in this video we'll be comparing the real-world differences that you'll actually see. If you make the switch at six point, one inches the iPhone 10 RS display is technically larger than the iPhone eight pluses 5.5 inch display when measured diagonally, but looking at them side-by-side there isn't that much of a difference in actual screen space, the Tenors taller aspect ratio shows more info and various vertical apps like Facebook and Instagram, plus the iPhone Center, is actually a good amount. Smaller thanks to the removal of the home button in the addition of the notch making a huge difference in how comfortable it feels. In your hand, the iPhone 10 R is very slightly thicker than the iPhone 8 plus, but you really have to look to see the difference now.

The notch will take some time to get used to, but after a while, you actually won't mind it. That much anymore, something that's often overlooked, is that the sleep/wake button on the side is basically twice as large on the iPhone 10 R, and you really feel that difference if you're coming from the 8 plus, which also had that button located much higher on the device. One difference that I absolutely love is tapped, awake, and I'm, pretty confident, you'll love it too. After you get used to it. While filming this video I found myself trying to tap that 8 plus is a display to try to wake it.

So it's a big deal for me. The iPhone 10 hours face ID will also take some time to get used to with my old 8, plus I was able to use touch ID, while my phone was laying on the desk to unlock it and check my messages. Well, you can't do that anymore with face ID and that's the only scenario where it can get a little annoying. But overall, once you get used to using face ID, you won't ever want to go back. One thing I loved about touch ID is that you could register multiple fingerprints at launch.

The worst part about the iPhone 10 was that you could only register one face at a time, but thankfully, with Iowa's 12, you can now register two faces using face. I'd, you also get to use the new no, G and MIMO G features on the 10r, but in my experience, they're just gimmicks I've only used those features once or twice since I got my iPhone 10 s max so don't factor those in when you're making a purchase decision. The app switcher is now a gesture rather than a home button. Interaction it'll definitely take some time to get used to, but after a while, it becomes second nature for you. The tenor gets the new home bar in my favorite part about it is that you can easily swipe, left and right to switch between apps, so I honestly, don't really use the app switcher anymore.

One of the things that 10r lacks is force touch, and this is one of the things you might miss the most you simply don't get as many options anymore with haptic touch, and it's slower to use. If you want to see all the differences click the card above to see our haptic touch versus 3d touch comparison. Video, the biggest downside to the iPhone 10 R- is the LCD, which isn't quite as high resolution as the iPhone 10, 10s and 10s max. However, if you're coming from an older iPhone with an LCD, you'll, never know the difference when it comes to display sharpness. The iPhone 8 plus looks sharper with 401 pixels per inch compared to 326 on the 10r, but it's a difference.

You may not notice unless you try looking for it when it comes to performance. The iPhone 10 ours, a 12 Bionic processor, definitely scores higher in benchmarks compared to the a11 Bionic and the A+, but in everyday use. You really won't notice that big of a difference, however, some apps or games, run better on the 10r, like, for example, Fortnight can run at 60 frames per second on the 10r, making a huge difference in terms of gaming experience where the extra performance really makes a difference is in the camera, along with upgraded sensors. The extra power gives the iPhone 10 are the new smart, HDR feature which greatly increases dynamic range in both photos and video. Not only that, but there's so much more detail as well.

One thing to know is that a lot of 2018 iPhone users are complaining about a lack of contrast and smooth looking skin and their photos, which comes thanks to smart HDR. Adding some contrast back in with a little of editing can easily fix those issues and make for some incredibly good-looking photos. One downside with the 10r is that it only has one camera lens, so you can lose some detail when zooming in too far plus, you can't take portrait photos of objects like you can on the 8 plus with at Indra. You can now take portrait selfies, and this really does make selfies look so much better compared to the iPhone 8 plus overall there's a huge difference in terms of camera quality. The 10 RS camera is just so much better.

Finally, let's talk battery life. This is where you're going to see a noticeable difference coming from the iPhone 8 plus in a massive difference. If you're coming from the smaller iPhone 8 with a 10, are your bad, we will actually last all day with regular use. So there you have it.
