Can't I watch YouTube on 1080 on iPhone Xr?

I understand that iPhone Xr resolution is 1792x828

Then it would mean that it is not 1080

Can't you select 1080p from the YouTube quality?

You can choose, but it will be adjusted to 1792x828

Does that mean the resolution is not good?

It's not that the resolution is bad
It's like watching a 4K video on a 1080 monitor
That's why the resolution looks better

I want to show more pixels on a small screen, so it looks better in quality

Looks better to me
Thank you for the explanation
