Apple positions the iPhone XR between the two XS models’ size-wise but equips the device with a lower resolution LCD display and only a single rear-facing camera. There are a few other minor drawbacks too, but does the XR do enough to be crowned the best overall iPhone? Read on to find out.

Apple iPhone XR updated review: Still worth buying?
Source: Pocket Lint English
Sure, the iPhone XR doesn't offer a screen or camera setup that's as good as the other Face ID iPhones, but that's the compromise with a more affordable handset. Many will be perfectly happy with what's on offer, especially as there's no compromise in power. For those who want Apple's Face ID design inside a colourful shell without spending a fortune, this iPhone could be for you if the iPhone 11 is out of budget. However, if you're not fussed by Face ID, it's definitely worth looking at the iPhone SE (2022).

Apple iPhone XR review: An iPhone to reach the masses
Source: Pocket Lint English
The iPhone XR might sit at the bottom of the Face ID iPhone range, but that's not to say it should be overlooked. It's still got a powerful processor, large screen and a great camera. There are a couple of compromises compared to the iPhone 12 series - it has a slightly lower waterproof rating, an LCD display rather than OLED, and just the one camera lens rather than a pair but otherwise, it offers a lot. It sits above the iPhone SE (2020) and just underneath the standard iPhone 11, but what's it like to live with? Read on to find out.

The iPhone XR has shockingly few trade-offs compared to pricier iPhones. You get a big and bright display, very good cameras, fast performance and long battery life for a very affordable price. Overall, we prefer the newer iPhone 12 because of its better cameras, OLED display and 5G, but if you're on a budget you should be very happy with the iPhone XR.

Our iPhone SE vs iPhone XR face-off has more details, but here's the gist if you're on the fence between these two phones. The cheaper $399 iPhone SE is faster, thanks to its A13 Bionic processor, and that same chip enables several photography features, including Portrait mode for the rear and front cameras and Smart HDR. The iPhone XR makes due with an older A12 Bionic chip.

The iPhone XR bought Face ID to the masses. We’re sure people will continue to rebel against the lack of Home button, but eventually we expect them to come round and embrace the larger screen, Portrait mode (front and back), animoji and memoji. It's the older generation but at a reduced price it's still an excellent choice for your next iPhone.

iPhone XR Review: Is Apple’s #1 Best-Selling iPhone 100% Legit?
Source: Know Your Mobile English Archive.org version
There are annoyances here and there – no fast charger in the box, Face ID isn’t as good as Touch ID, and then there’s the yearly merry-go-round of finding which dongle you need for simple things like plugging in a pair of wired headphones – a standard situation for Apple fans these days. Ultimately, though, this is perhaps the best iPhone option of 2018. While it’s not cheap when compared to what the Android market has to offer, if you’re a diehard Apple fan then the notion of switching sides means this will seem reasonably-priced when compared to the company’s other iPhones this year – yet it never feels like you’re missing out by choosing the XR.

I haven't been this excited about an iPhone model in years. The iPhone XR is built to be the best everyday phone engine in Apple's iPhone lineup, based on things I value: price, battery, speed and key features like the camera. The iPhone XR is the sensible car with the good gas mileage, but with a supercharged engine under the hood and an understated spoiler on the trunk -- and I love that. It's what more Apple products should shoot for. It's a good size and, very nearly, a perfect phone for its price.

The Apple iPhone XR Review: A Different Display Leads To Brilliant Battery Life

Similarly, I think the iPhone XR is also priced a tad too high, and if you’re not entrenched in the iOS ecosystem, there are better value alternatives. I count myself among those who wouldn’t buy a smartphone at this price, and certainly not if it does compromise on some features. In a way this might be the rationale of more users, and that’s probably why the iPhone XR has seen less demand than anticipated. With hindsight, I see now what I might have been wrong in thinking the XR would be the most popular model of this generation, as it’s not priced low enough to convince users to drop down from what they see as the better long-term investment of an XS variant. That is if they would buy a new iPhone at all this generation, which with the ever increasing prices, is an ever increasingly hard choice to make.

Of course, when you buy official you always pay a premium – doubly so when it's an Apple product. Sure, £45 is a lot of cash, but this is a case unlike any other we've seen in this category, and Apple's claim that the material used won't discolour over time could mean this is a worthwhile purchase – assuming that boast is true, of course. For now, all we can say is that this is a well-made case which is worth a look if you're keen to show off your phone's design and don't want rugged, all-round protection.

Yes, the iPhone XR’s camera IS pretty awesome
Source: Tech PP English Archive.org version
So where does all that leave the camera of the iPhone XR? Well, in our opinion, it is good enough to stand alongside the XS and XS Max, and every bit as good if you are ready to give up on the optical zoom and a few Portrait Lighting options. And it is more than good enough to make us doubt the need for dual cameras altogether. Just like the Pixel 3 did.

I own an iPhone X, so the iPhone XR isn’t really for me (neither is the iPhone XS, as I said in my review). But anyone looking to upgrade their iPhone 7 or earlier should seriously consider the iPhone XR, because it offers few comprises compared to Apple’s more expensive options, and is in some instances better.

The iPhone XR has shockingly few trade-offs compared to the iPhone XS and iPhone XS Max given that it costs $250 to $350 less. In fact, many may prefer the iPhone XR over Apple's pricier flagships for two reasons beyond the cheaper price: more color options and longer battery life.

Of the three iPhones launched in 2018, the iPhone XR is the most impressive of the lot. Not because of the strength of the spec – the iPhone XS is slightly ahead in a lot of areas – but what you're 'saving' by going for this model far outweighs what you're losing. A multitude of colors, very good battery life and a lower price? If you want a new iPhone, check this one out first.

90% iPhone XR review: Compelling compromise
Source: Slashgear English Archive.org version
$250 is either a lot of money to save for minimal compromise, or a small premium to pay for dual cameras, a markedly improved display, and the iPhone XS’ other advantages. Where you fall on that will depend on how addicted to your smartphone you actually are, and how you prioritize having the very bleeding-edge of devices. Seen through that lens, though the iPhone XR may not be “perfect” it’s definitely close enough for most.

Really, the biggest sacrifices you'll need to make with an iPhone XR are a less-vibrant screen than you'd get from an OLED-based iPhones and a less-extensive bag of photographic tricks than you might enjoy with a dual-lens model. If those features aren't all that important to you, by all means enjoy the equal processing power, longer battery life and lower price tag that the iPhone XR has to offer.

I have no doubt that the iPhone XR will sell in great numbers. These numbers are likely going to come from consumers who have been waiting for a cheaper iPhone to hit the market. I think the iPhone XR is for people who didn't want to spend $1000 on the iPhone X last year. It's for people who don't want to spend over Rs 1 lakh on an iPhone this year. And these consumers will not be disappointed, because the XR is a terrific iPhone for the masses. It may not be as ornamental as the XS and XS Max, but Apple has done well to make sure the XR doesn't compromise on features that matter.

These days, lots of smartphone makers are trying to offer more for less, and Apple is no exception. Its new iPhone XR features a lot of what makes the more premium XS and XS Max special, squeezed into a glass-and-metal package that costs significantly less. This is, as you would expect, an exercise in compromise: the XR retains the high-performance A12 chipset and delivers the best battery life we’ve ever seen in an iPhone in some time. But the Liquid Retina display and single camera might not be up to snuff for everyone. That said, everything Apple offers here is much, much better than just “good enough.” The XR is the iPhone we’d recommend to most people.

Unless you're totally sold on the mega-size screen of the XS Max, or you can't live without 2X optical zoom in the XS cameras, you should hold off on any decisions until then.

Comment

Model: The Apple iPhone XR is a cheaper and more colourful iPhone released recently. Although cheaper, the iPhone XR isn't a handset using last year's technology, chip and camera specs appear to be identical to the step-up iPhone XS models. Apple has stepped up its game with the design of the iPhone XR. Despite having a larger 6.1-inch screen compared to the iPhone 8's 5.8-inch display, the iPhone XR has a smaller overall build and, presumably, a lighter weight. Along with the Xs and Xs Max, it boasts the 'hardest glass' ever seen on a smartphone. It is available in six different colors and its case is made of aerospace-grade aluminium. There's no headphone jack, bundled dongle, and no physical home button. Apple is slowly killing off features in favor of what it believes to be the future: wireless connectivity and Face ID. The rest of the iPhone XR’s design is predictable, with the same buttons for the volume and to activate Siri on the side of the handset. For the display, it does look nice, although its 'highest quality' LCD screen, with a resolution of 1,792 x 828 and 326 PPI, isn't a major improvement on the iPhone 8. Apple has termed this display Liquid Retina. It's a very good, very saturated, very deep LCD. Hold it right next to an iPhone XS and yes, users can tell the difference, but it definitely looks more saturated and OLED-like than the average LCD. The LCD display is around 6.1 inch, which is bigger than the 5.8-inch XS (but smaller than the 6.5-inch XS Max). The display stretches from edge to edge, which helps to make the super-sized phone feel smaller and more manageable in hand.

Apple has gone with a lone rear-facing 13-megapixel camera with f/1.8 wide-angle aperture, 'Smart HDR' and Bokeh effects. This is in fact, identical hardware to the Apple iPhone Xs and Xs Max, and should deliver some pretty stunning results. However, It has no 2x optical zoom and less digital zoom. As for video, it shoots 1,080p at 60 fps. If a user just wants a camera that can simply take good-quality point-and-click pictures, the iPhone XR will do just fine. According to Apple, the iPhone XR can last 1.5 times longer than the iPhone 8 Plus. Stated battery life is comparable with if not better than the iPhone XS Max, with up to 15 hours of internet use and up to 65 hours of audio playback. As a conclusion, iPhones are laptop-priced now. A user will need to choose carefully. For most consumers, this is a minimum 2 to 3-year commitment. To that end, the XR is well worth waiting for. Unless anyone is totally sold on the mega-size screen of the XS Max, or anyone can't live without 2X optical zoom in the XS cameras, buyers should consider this model especially if they are looking for a more affordable iPhone.
