Thinking of using your iPhone X to watch VR porn? Read this first
Apple and Samsung have an intense rivalry in the world of mobile technology, with fiercely loyal fans on both sides. However, when it comes to VR porn - and virtual reality in general - there is one clear winner.
Sorry Apple users, but the iPhone X, and its previous versions, are vastly inferior to the modern GearVR-ready Samsung smartphones. Not only this, both the Galaxy S8 and S9 models are compatible with Google Daydream headsets, which are recognised as having great optics.
Compared to the Galaxy S8 the iPhone X fails on two key levels: pixelation and latency. Pixels are prominent throughout the image, making the viewer aware they are watching a screen. Latency is just as bad, with constant immersion-breaking delays.
iPhone X Display:
- 5.8-inch OLED Multi-Touch display
- 2436 x 1125-pixel resolution at 458ppi
Samsung S9 Display:
- 5.8-inch Quad HD+ Super AMOLED
- 2960x1440-pixel resolution at 570 ppi
And when it comes to watching VR porn on the iPhone your only option is Google Cardboard or their variants like Homido VR headset. Of course, 5k quality videos do not work either (but 4K videos play fine, on the iPhone 7 and above). On the other hand, Galaxy smartphones from the S8 and above, are also compatible with GearVR and DayDream headsets.
If you’re looking for a mobile VR system, the iPhone X falls far short of the standard set by Galaxy smartphones, which are specifically designed with VR in mind.
However, if you have an iPhone X and don’t want to buy another piece of equipment, all is not lost. We at SLR are working on enhancing the VR porn experience on the iPhone - including a way of letting the user choose videos straight from the SLR site. Currently, the only method is to save the files locally to your smartphone and open them from there. Make sure you’re using the for the best possible VR experience.

UPDATE:
You can view VR porn videos on the SLR site using your iPhone and DeoVR. Here's how.
It’s simple. Just go to the video of your choice and click the DeoVR play button. Enjoy the absolute best quality while watching your favorite VR videos.
How does streaming in DeoVR work differently from streaming in the browser like on tube sites? VR videos can be streamed using WebVR protocol in your web browser, but the quality will be mediocre at best. The difference is in the underlying technology. DeoVR is the native app for each headset and has direct access to fully utilize the technical capabilities to play high-res VR videos.
Whereas WebVR allows web applications to present content in virtual reality by using WebGL. This is a universal intermediary protocol designed to make VR content available to everyone and easy to access. However, playing high resolution 360º and 180º videos might be challenging because your web browser is not the optimum software for VR media. The use of controllers and 3D interfaces in the WebVR player will suffer from high latency. It will take extra time to get the newest features of your headset supported by WebVR, if at all.
Playing videos in WebVR used to be the only option for iPhone users. Thankfully, DeoVR offers iPhone users much better quality. You can play both trailers and purchased full length videos in DeoVR directly from SLR website.
