Apple iPhone XR
The best argument for the iPhone XR is its looks. From the front, it's nearly indistinguishable from iPhones that cost $250 to $350 more. From the back, the colored models are simply gorgeous. The XR simply makes you look fashionable, and I don't think we should discount the power of fashion.
Pros:
- Available in gorgeous colors
- Super-fast processor
- Bright screen
Cons:
- Wireless performance isn't up to par with XS models

Apple iPhone XR Review
The Apple iPhone XR is the fashion-forward model of this year's iPhones, but it trades top-notch performance for a colorful design. The iPhone XR, Apple's "low-cost" phone, gets you a great-looking, modern iPhone with a super-fast processor for $749. But there's a big catch: It just doesn't connect to wireless networks like an iPhone XS or XS Max, or even Android competitors like the Google Pixel 3. Connection quality is absolutely key to our view of the mobile phone experience, so while the XR brings many current-gen features to an iPhone that costs $250 to $350 less than the leaders, we think the XS Max is the iPhone you should get if you intend to hang onto your phone for three or more years. Gorgeous Design The iPhone XR is the most beautiful iPhone ever. I'm willing to make that bold claim because the shimmery colors are just so nice, and the rounded corners really give it the "river stone" feel that manufacturers have been trying to achieve with mobile phones for years now. The color is anodized aluminum under glass, but it looks sort of like automotive paint on ceramic. Don't get a black XR. As you ca...
Pros:
- Available in gorgeous colors
- Super-fast processor
- Bright screen
Cons:
- Wireless performance isn't up to par with XS models

iPhone XR review: Compelling compromise
The most interesting iPhone of 2018 isn't Apple's most expensive, or its largest: it's the iPhone XR, cheapest of the trio of new smartphones. The new entry-level iPhone may look like the iPhone XS and iPhone XS Max at first glance, but that familiar style masks a handset that is, at $749, at least...
Pros:
- 2018's most affordable new iPhone
- New design and Face ID
- Battery life more impressive than iPhone XS or XS Max
- Solid camera performance
Cons:
- Native Portrait mode only supports people
- No headphone jack or in-box 3.5mm adapter

We may never know what the R in the iPhone XR actually means-Apple VP Phil Schiller himself said that the R doesn't really mean much to Apple. But I have my own guess: reboot. Before the release of the iPhone X last year, the iPhone 8 was in need of a redesign.

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...
