IPhone xs max or wait for the iPhone xr?

The XS Max is the better spec'ed but more expensive of the 2.
The XR is the cheaper of the 2.

So down to specs vs cost (& in this case patience)

XR

I really don't know the difference honestly.

It's the same chip and specs inside. The camera is different and less quality on the R. It's also aluminum body not stainless steel like the Xs. The screen is LCD, not OLED like the Xs has. So, it depends on what you plan on using the phone for then decide which is better for you.

Way too much money for me. I'm not even thinking about upgrading my IPhone 6.

Why not wait until both phones you are interested in are available to compare, and decide then when you can do hands on comparison?
