iPhone XR Durability Test – is the ‘cheap’ iPhone weak?

Apple’s released quite a few new telephones thisyear. The iPhone XS and XS Max, which I’ve alreadytested on my direct, and then 6 different spices of this person: the iPhone XR. It’s basically Apple’s iPhone with the priceof a flagship. I asked on Twitter which pigment of the iPhoneXR I should test today, and it was a close call, but the peachy coral version was chosenas tribute, which is kind of good because our brand new blue friend isn’t even turningon this morning. He’s got a little bit of conduct nervousnes. I’ll plug him in and we’ll start with peachy .( stillnes) Let’s is starting.[ Intro] Inside the box we have the standard slow charger, along with the lightning headphones that you can’t use anywhere else. And the proprietary lightning cord with nodongle for the missing headphone jack. Let’s start with the scratch test. The one boast that gets use more than anythingelse on a smartphone by far is the screen. The biggest downside of the iPhone XR, besidesbeing a flagship priced budget telephone, is the screen. There’s been a 1080 p solution standard acrosscomputer screens, TVs and cell phone for the past 3 years.[ Phone voice saying standing health .] Even the iPhone 6 Plus liberated 4 years agohad a super defined 1080 p expose. But Apple now, sneakily put the iPhoneXR from a high definition 1080 p screen down to really 828. You can always say iPhone users really don’treally be concerned about specs, but there’s a line that got crossed when Apple takes advantageof that and keeps the high price of $800 after levy, while handing out hardware from 5 yearsago. Glass is still glass though, and scratchesat a grade 6 with deeper grooves at a degree 7. Apple’s never been a leader in screen resolution, but going backwards in technology is a slap in the face to gullible purchasers. There’s one 7 megapixel front facing camerahidden up in the notch, along with a metal earpiece grille, very solidly appended andwill never be coming out on it’s own. Another difference between the XS and XR isthe erect substance. While the more expensive XS is made from stainlesssteel, the regular expensive XR is made from softer aluminum anodized aluminum. Anodizing is a pretty amazing process wherethe metal is dipped and electrically coated in a super hard-boiled protective coating of oxide, and could literally be any color we want. So it starts the color parallelling look prettysweet. Even the SIM card tray with no expandablememory slit got dipped in the same anodizing bath.The buttons are made from metal, along withthe top of the phone, and the new switch slider over here on the two sides. I still suppose every phone should have oneof these permutations. The capacity buttons are made from metal. And the bottom of the phone, right next tothat missing headphone jack is also metal. The only thing down here is the lightningport and the little metal grilles for the thunderou loudspeaker and microphone. The back of the iPhone XR is made from glass.It still has that wireless blaming. I judge the coloring is a great idea and definitelyadds a delightful splash of uniqueness to the smartphone world. If the Apple logo gently brightened for notificationslike it does on the Razer Phone, it would be examined even cool. The twinkle is under the back glass and protected, together with the little wire microphone grille. Which now raises us up to the camera. Apple’s cameras are improbably good. Only retain though, that the screen on thisiPhone XR can’t evidence all the pixels your camera captivates “if youre using” it – kind of blows mymind. Let’s say you take a picture and affix it toInstagram. Instagram publishes personas in 1080 pixel blocks. The iPhone XR is 252 pixels short of thatand literally can’t testify Instagram characterizations at full character. This is an $ 800 telephone that can’t even socialmedia right.Not to mention, Apple is still advertisinga sapphire lens cover protecting the camera, which should scratch at a grade 8 or 9 onMohs scale of hardness, yet we are still seeing heavy differentiates at ranks 6, 7, and 8. Other sapphire creators like this Tissotwatch face manage pure sapphire just fine. The Tissot sapphire has no scratches belowa elevation 8. It’s kind of messed up that with Apple youaren’t getting what you pay for on so many levels. The phones are very pretty though. No doubt about that. But if all you miss is just beautiful, surfacelevel aesthetics, or exactly want to cover up the Apple logo, really waste a few cases dollars andslap a dbrand skin on your current phone.Then use the rest of the money you had savedto literally notebook a round trip ticket to Hawaii. You can get to Hawaii and back from basicallyanywhere in the USA for the price of this telephone. The inexpensive skins are attached in the description. Huge thanks to dbrand for sponsoring thisvideo and engendering colorful phones everywhere. Not to mention, if you purchased basicallyany other phone in the past 3 years, you’ll be able to Instagram at full quality on yourtrip. You might be like,’ but Jerry, what aboutYouTube? Is the YouTube app still going to work okaywith this lower resolution screen ?’ Yeah, it operates. 720 P is just fine, it’ll even pretend to letyou select 1080 p. And of course, the XR will use your data tostream that 1080 into phone, but you won’t get the high definition displayed on yourscreen. The pixels precisely aren’t physically there todo it.Of track, if “youve had” seen someone who hasor ardours this phone, there’s no need to make fun of them. Remember, they are just 252 pixel rows shortof the complete picture, and not quite all the way there hardware-wise…if you catch mydrift. The iPhone XR is a 6.1 inch, 828 x1792 ipsLCD and lasted 10 seconds under the heat from my inferno, travelling absolutely pitch-black and turningoff. It’s kind of a risk to burn pixels on theXR when it doesn’t have any to spare in the first place, but they all did make it backto life with a full recovery.Now it’s time for the deflect measure. Apple is using the stronger 7000 sequences aluminumon the iPhone XR, so it should be solid. But the only way to find out for sure is witha structural flex. Bending from the front relented no movementin the phone. No hitches in the enclose or bending in the body. Bending from the back got the slightest offlexes, but good-for-nothing to get excited about. Our little orange friend is built like a solid, low-pitched settlement brick. If Apple charged $500, or maybe even $600 for this hardware, I’d be fairly ran. But blaming $800 after levy for this is likerobbing an old folks home. Yeah, it’s easy and your targets won’t notice, but it’s just…wrong. Apple didn’t get to be a trillion dollar companyby selling trash at a fair toll though. So it is what it is. The XR is structurally voiced, even if thesapphire isn’t pure and the screen automatically downgrades Instagram and YouTube, it doespass my stability test.I’ll probably let on this unharmed blueiPhone XR over on my Twitter or Instagram. So come hang out over there for the giveaway. You can always sell my shares and buy yourself areal telephone. Customize your current phone with the dbrandlink in the specific characteristics. And thanks a ton for watching. I’ll be seeing you ..
