iPhone XR vs iPhone XS Camera Test By MacRumors

Hey everyone Dan with MacRumors and in this video we're going to compare the cameras on the iPhone Tennis Max and put it up against the cameras on the brand new iPhone 10 are the iPhone 10 R and 10s Mac share a lot of similarities, but not quite when it comes to the rear cameras. The iPhone 10 R has a single camera located on the back of the device instead of the dual lens camera system that you'll see on the iPhone 10 s max, it is the same 12 megapixel wide-angle lens, that is on the iPhone 10 s, but without the 12 megapixel telephoto lens. Fortunately, because of some software magic, the 10 R has almost the same feature set as the 10 s Max and the images look pretty similar for the most part, the iPhone 10 RS camera still features smart, HDR or portrait mode and depth control, but there are a few differences between the two phones. So if we start off with portrait mode, the first bummer about the iPhone 10 R is the fact that portrait mode really only works with people and not objects. The 10s can take portrait photos of just about anything, and it uses the two cameras to make that possible now, because there's no multiple camera system to use to calculate the depth between the background and the foreground for blurring purposes, Apple uses a person's face to determine what to blur and what to keep sharp. So that means there's no rear-facing iPhone 10 our portrait mode, images of pets, flowers, food, etc.

You'll also get fewer portrait lighting options to the flip side of this, however, is that because the 10r is forced to use the single and larger F 1.8 lens instead of the F 2.4 telephoto lens, the 10 AS portrait mode photos will often be a bit better in lower light scenarios, because the larger sensor will let in more light, for example, in this picture, you can clearly see the background of this photo on the 10r is much brighter compared to the iPhone 10 s. You can see this if you focus in on the bricks and the TV stand behind the subjects. Now the photo itself isn't particularly good due to the lack of light and the movement coming from the subjects, but this is just an idea of how much light you can get out of the larger sensor. Portrait mode overall is not bad on the 10r, but the 10 s just yields a sharper image and does a better job with edge action. Then the software does on the 10r which can be hit or miss if you're someone who takes a lot of portrait mode photos, especially of objects or animals, then the 10r might not work out for you.

The good news is, however, if that isn't a huge deal to you at all the rest of the iPhone 10. Our camera is nearly identical to the 10s and 10s max. If point-and-shoot is your thing, the difference between the two phones is minuscule, honestly. You're going to have to look really hard for any noticeable differences, and the only thing that I could find is that sometimes each camera blows out the highlights of the sky a little more than the other. But that's not always the case for each phone and again this is also just hit or miss one quick side note I do want to point out.

The iPhone 10 R does lose out on optical ? times zoom because of the lack of telephoto lens, which will result in some photos not being as crisp as the 10s. The 10 R will instead have to rely on digital zoom instead of using a secondary lens. So here are some more pictures taken on the iPhone, 10 R and the 10 s. Let me know in the comments section, if you notice a difference and if so, which camera do you prefer if we switch over to video 4k video on each phone, looks identical with the same awesome. Stereo sound, recording feature on the 10s available on the 10r, and you still get slo-mo video at 240 frames per second in 1080p when it comes to portrait mode.

On the front-facing iPhone 10, our camera, it looks identical to the iPhone 10s front-facing camera, because well it's the exact same camera system. So, with all of that said, I have to say that the iPhone 10 RS camera is definitely comparable to the 10s. If your main deciding point between purchasing one of these two phones is the camera. You need to ask yourself if better portrait mode photos is worth an additional 250 for the 10s and 350 for the 10s max, because to me, that's really. The only major difference so be sure to let us know your thoughts on these cameras in the comment section down below this has been down with Mac rumors.

Thanks for watching, and I will see you in the next one.
