Apple iPhone XR review: a brilliant balance of polish, features and price
Last year, Apple introduced a new design of iPhone that it said would be the template for all future models. In 2018, that was backed up not just by the introduction of the iPhone XS, which was an update of the existing iPhone X, but also the iPhone XR, which is a new cheaper model using the same...
Pros:
- Supremely slick and powerful
- Very strong camera
- Great battery life
- Excellent build quality
Cons:
- Less flexible camera system than the XS
- Can get a better screen for the money
- Lack of 3D Touch is weird

Apple iPhone XR 128GB Black MRY92X/A review
Last year I bought my Apple iPhone X using the T-Mobile Jump On Demand program so upgrading to a new phone this year was a simple option with a small price to pay. I jumped to the iPhone XS Max, but returned it within the two week evaluation period.
Pros:
- Excellent photo quality
- Cool color options
- Long battery life
- Loud stereo speakers
- Wireless charging support
Cons:
- Poor cellular reception in weak signal areas
- Portrait mode limited to people

Apple's iPhone XR ticks all the boxes in terms of design, quality and performance and manages to offer amazing camera quality through a single lens. And that comes down to the advantage Apple has over every other smartphone manufacturer – their own software working with their own hardware.
Pros:
- Cool colourful design
- Excellent single lens camera
- Sharp bright display
- Powerful processor
Cons:
- No 3D Touch
- Would be nice to have dual lens camera

iPhone XR
Steve Jobs famously believed the devices his company produced would bring technology to the masses, but he was rarely willing to make the compromises necessary to bring that vision to fruition. Apple has only sometimes released products that were priced for everyone.
Pros:
- Powerful CPU
- GPU
- and machine learning chips give this phone the same industry-beating performance we measured in the XS
- The iOS operating system offers a robust market of quality apps and games
- is loaded with privacy and screen time management tools
- and is both highly efficient and highly...
Cons:
- The screen's pixel density is not optimal
- and Apple's OLED implementation offers many advantages you'll be missing out on here as compared to the XS phones
- The rear camera is fine
- but it's outdone by both its XS siblings and several Android flagship phones in a few situations
- The glass back and...

- and a camera that's mostly as good as the iPhone XS
Cons:
- The iPhone XR's single rear camera lacks optical zoom and has a limited portrait mode
- Its LCD screen, while large, bright and vivid, is still a step below the iPhone XS' OLED in contrast
- The aluminum XR is slightly less durable than the steel XS

Apple iPhone XR review: R stands for reasonable
After going through the iPhone XR a little closely, it's easy to assert that Apple has a winner on its hands that will keep filling the cash registers for the next few years. The iPhone XR is a great flagship-grade smartphone that hits most of the sweet spots consumers look for in an ultra-premium...
