Hello everyone,,
I've now used all three (long story) for at least two weeks each and here are my thoughts for those deciding between them. My focus is size, display, and battery life.
iPhone XR
Fantastic battery life (~2 days with my usage patterns)

Display, standing alone, is great. If you stick it next to the high PPI OLED of the XS phones you'll definitely notice a difference in color saturation, sharpness, and contrast.
Lack of 3D Touch is a negative for me, but not a dealbreaker (for me)
Size and thickness makes it feel rather large (👀 and one-handed use is difficult
iPhone XS
Battery life is good as I can almost always make it through the day
Display is great
Size is great -- big screen but device is still pocketable and mostly comfortable to use one-handed
iPhone XS Max
Great battery life (~1.5 days for me)
Display is great
Large, but narrower width (compared to the 7/8 Plus) makes it not as cumbersome to hold. Can't use it one-handed and that's my biggest gripe.
Great for video consumption
I'm ultimately going to stick with the XS as I think it's the best all-around device for my needs. If you don't want to spend the extra $250, the XR is still a great overall package. If you spend a lot of time consuming media on your phone I recommend the XS Max..
