9 reasons you should buy the iPhone XS instead of an iPhone XR (AAPL)
Apple has a new iPhone coming out next week.
The iPhone XR was announced in September alongside the iPhone XS and XS Max. The latter two phones were released to the public on September 21, but folks had to wait a month for the more affordable iPhone XR. It's currently available to pre-order, but goes on sale October 26.
The iPhone XR costs $749 to start, while the iPhone XS costs $999 to start. Still, there are several reasons to consider the more expensive phone, if you're on the fence.
Here are nine reasons you should buy an iPhone XS instead of the iPhone XR:

1. The iPhone XS is available in more sizes than the iPhone XR.
If you like the look and feel of the iPhone XR, you can only get it in one size, with its 6.1-inch display.
If you like the iPhone XS, however, you have two size options to choose from: you can get the 5.8-inch model, or the 6.5-inch "Max" size, which costs $100 more than the standard iPhone XS.
2. The iPhone XS display looks significantly better than the iPhone XR display.
Your phone screen is important. It's the main window for all of your content: your files, documents, photos, videos, and more.
The iPhone XS features a "Super Retina" OLED display, while the iPhone XR features a "Liquid Crystal" LCD display.
OLED displays, in general, are brighter, show more accurate colors, and can achieve far better contrast than LCD displays; the 1,400:1 contrast ratio of the iPhone XR display doesn't come close to the 1,000,000:1 contrast ratio in the iPhone XS. Since OLED displays can actually turn their pixels off, instead of just dim them like LCD displays, black actually looks like black on the iPhone XS, and images look much more vivid.
The iPhone XR has one of the best LCD displays in a smartphone, but it still doesn't come close to the iPhone XS display, which, thanks to HDR support, is the better way to view high-definition photos and videos. The iPhone XR screen is also a little less great since the bezel, or border around the edge of the display, is thicker than it is on the iPhone XS.
3. The iPhone XR is available in six beautiful colors, but if you want silver or gold, those are only options with the iPhone XS.
The iPhone XR is available in red, blue, yellow, black, white, and coral, which is kind of like orange-meets-pink.
The iPhone XS is also available in black, along with "silver" instead of white (they're pretty similar), as well as a new exclusive gold option.
