The popular Unbox Therapy channel on YouTube recently pointed out that the upcoming iPhone XR screen has the same pixel density as the iPhone 4, both 326ppi. According to Apple, the iPhone XR is equipped with a Liquid Retina HD display with a pixel density of 326 ppi. UnboxTherapy says the iPhone 4 has the same pixel density. However, there are a few things to note.

First, since the iPhone 4, the screen pixel density of each non-Plus model is 326ppi, including every generation of iPhone 5 to iPhone 8. UnboxTherapy believes that Apple deliberately made the resolution worse on the iPhone XR to avoid eroding the sales of its high-end OLED models. This argument may be justified, but for most end users, the difference in pixel density is not the focus of their concern.

So, is pixel density important in the daily use of the iPhone? UnboxTherapy said in the video that it is difficult to notice the difference in pixel density between the two devices at normal viewing distances. In other words, higher pixel densities do not have a significant positive impact on the viewing experience of the smartphone screen.

There are also a lot of very good Android phones on the market, and Apple hopes that iPhone XR will be competitive in the mid-end market. But foreign media TechRadar once said that although many Android phones also have high-resolution displays, this means higher costs and higher power consumption. Therefore, the second point to note is that the lower pixel density of the iPhone XR means it will have better battery life.

In general, the iPhone XR has a display that should be equipped with a mid-range iPhone. It is the best successor to the iPhone 8 and iPhone 8Plus, and most users will not notice the difference in pixel density. Of course, part of the iPhone XR's competitiveness comes from its price. Considering the operating system, hardware and features of this model, Android phones will usher in a strong rival.
