Siegel<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Since the iPhone made its dramatic debut in 2007, I\u2019ve been a diehard Apple fangirl. Yes, I was one of those lunatics lined up for miles outside the Apple store the day a new model arrived. In those days, you could get an iPhone for $499 that made you the envy of the neighborhood. An iPhone was an iconic status symbol, a sign that you \u201cmade it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Fast-forward to 2019. The price of iPhones has more or less doubled, yet people living near the poverty line own them. Alas, I came upon two prospective phones for under $1,000: The Samsung Galaxy s10e and the iPhone XR, two worthy opponents. I made my choice, brought it home, and felt vaguely guilty. What, dare you ask, was my offense? I, who had worshipped at the throne of Apple for over a decade, was now the proud possessor of a Galaxy s10e, an ANDROID! What was the catalyst behind my act of betrayal?<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_12171\" style=\"width: 830px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-12171\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-full wp-image-12171\" src=\"https:\/\/igotoffer.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/confession-of-an-apple-defector-choice.jpg\" alt=\"The Samsung Galaxy s10e and the iPhone XR, two worthy opponents.\" width=\"820\" height=\"500\" srcset=\"https:\/\/igotoffer.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/confession-of-an-apple-defector-choice.jpg 820w, https:\/\/igotoffer.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/confession-of-an-apple-defector-choice-300x183.jpg 300w, https:\/\/igotoffer.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/confession-of-an-apple-defector-choice-768x468.jpg 768w, https:\/\/igotoffer.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/confession-of-an-apple-defector-choice-620x378.jpg 620w, https:\/\/igotoffer.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/confession-of-an-apple-defector-choice-246x150.jpg 246w, https:\/\/igotoffer.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/confession-of-an-apple-defector-choice-600x366.jpg 600w, https:\/\/igotoffer.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/confession-of-an-apple-defector-choice-246x150@2x.jpg 492w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 820px) 100vw, 820px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-12171\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">The Samsung Galaxy s10e and the iPhone XR, two worthy opponents.<\/p><\/div>\n<p><em>Display\/Color:<\/em> The iPhone XR had its customary LCD (albeit with a Liquid Retina display) with 326 ppi, but the Galaxy s10e boasted a sharper-resolution OLED display with 438 ppi, reminiscent of the $1,000 iPhone XS. There\u2019s nothing like a good OLED if you want eye-popping colors that are a stark contrast to deep black. Plus, the Galaxy s10e is more compact than the iPhone XR (5.8-inch vs. 6.1-inch screen) and has a more streamlined bezel.<\/p>\n<p><em>Camera:<\/em> The iPhone XR has a 12-megapixel wide-angle single rear camera, with Portrait Mode, Portrait Lighting, and Smart HDR, which all deliver more detailed photos. But the Galaxy s10e has a 16-megapixel ultra-wide camera offering a 123-degree field of view for large scenes (one of the widest lenses in the industry), as well as a second rear camera similar to the iPhone XR. The Galaxy s10e\u2019s camera system, with its Neural Processing Unit with AI technology, has professional-grade settings that automatically optimize the photo environment.<\/p>\n<p><em>Storage:<\/em> The iPhone XR base model is 64GB, with the top model having 256GB. All models have 3GB of RAM. In contrast, the Galaxy s10e\u2019s base model has 128GB with 6GB of RAM, while the top model has 256GB with 8GB of RAM. And the Galaxy s10e features a MicroSD slot that enables up to 512GB of extra storage!<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_12169\" style=\"width: 830px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-12169\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-image-12169 size-full\" title=\"I never thought I\u2019d see the day I\u2019d break my loyalty and forsake my beloved Apple.

It\u2019s magic!<\/p>\n<p><em>Price:<\/em> The base model of both phones costs $749, but the Galaxy s10e has twice as much storage! As for the higher-end models of each (with 256GB), the iPhone XR is $899.99 and the Galaxy s10e is $848.99.<\/p>\n<p>I never thought I\u2019d see the day I\u2019d break my loyalty and forsake my beloved Apple.
