What is the difference between iPhone XR and 12?

The iPhone 12 display is leagues ahead of its older sibling. The iPhone 12 display is a Super Retina XDR OLED, while the iPhone XR's is a Liquid Retina IPS LCD. Breaking those arcane terms down, the iPhone 12's 2532 x 1170 Super Retina is sharper than the iPhone XR's 1792 X 828 Liquid Retina – and by some margin.

Is it worth upgrading from XR to 12?

iPhone XS/XR: Don't Upgrade The iPhone 12 features the same processor and modem as the more expensive iPhone 12 Pro, without quite as many high-end camera features. Even so, you should still see a noticeable upgrade in image quality from your iPhone XS/XR.

Is the iPhone 12 screen better than the XR?

It has a newer OLED display so when you compare the two side by side, you may notice that the iPhone 12's screen has more contrast. The iPhone 12 also feels more elegant in the hand, especially if you prefer the flat-edge design compared to the rounded edges of the iPhone XR.

How much better is iPhone 12 than XR?

The iPhone 12 has a better camera, the same sized screen despite being a fraction smaller, a higher quality, more shatterproof screen, a more powerful processor and 5G, all of which are excellent reasons to choose it over the iPhone XR. The iPhone XR is cheaper and comes in some fun colours.
