The Apple iPhone XR counts with just a bit longer battery lifetime than HTC One M9, because it has 2942mAh of battery capacity against 2840mAh.
Although Apple iPhone XR is a better device, it is way more expensive than HTC One M9, and it doesn't have such a good price and quality relation as HTC One M9.
