The Apple iPhone 7 Plus counts with a little bit better looking display than iPhone XR, because although it has a little smaller screen, and they both have the same brightness, the Apple iPhone 7 Plus also counts with a little bit more pixels per inch of screen and a slightly higher resolution of 1080 x 1920 pixels.
IPhone XR features a quite superior hardware performance than iPhone 7 Plus, and although they both have the same RAM amount, the iPhone XR also has a larger number of cores and a 64-bit processor. IPhone XR takes just a bit better videos and photos than iPhone 7 Plus, and although they both have the same resolution camera in the back, the same diafragm aperture and the same 3840x2160 (4K) video definition, the iPhone XR also has higher video frame rates and a larger back camera sensor.

Although iPhone 7 Plus is a better device, it costs more than iPhone XR, and it doesn't have such a good price and quality relation as iPhone XR. So if you need that extra specs, you can buy iPhone 7 Plus, but if you don't you can save some dollars and get the iPhone XR, letting go some features and specifications.
