Like me, the vast majority of people coming to the iPhone XR will be leaving the home button behind. This time last year I didn't feel ready to go full-screen at the expense of trusty Touch ID, despite the promise of Animoji, face recognition and selfie portraits.

Here's a question: how much do you care about the display on your phone Take a moment and really consider it. If you were to put a dollar amount on it, how much would having a perfect display be worth to you

Fun colors; Competitive price for Apple's latest processor and cameras; Great battery life

Good but not great display; Only one size option; Camera does strange things sometimes

We got three new iPhone models this year and with the iPhone XS or XS Max, there is a very clear indication of what you're getting which is the best that Apple has to offer. But Apple also introduced the iPhone XR- a lower cost option for someone looking to hop onto Apple's new vision for its mobile...

Fantastic battery life; Attractive array of colors; Lower price tag

Good but not great display; Portrait camera mode doesn't impress; Expensive for a non-flagship product

The iPhone XR is a solid choice if you want what flagship iPhones offer, without the flagship price.

Apple iPhone XR prices start at Rs 76,900. Unlike the high-end iPhones, this comes with a LCD display. Like the Pixels, the iPhone XR features a single camera at the back. After announcing the iPhone XS and iPhone XS Max earlier this year, Apple is finally making the iPhone XR available in India...

Apple does not typically do budget devices, but as they go, the iPhone XR comes pretty close. While hardly cheap (a budget phone should be under $400, not $750!), it represents a calculated attempt at creating a more affordable device that isn't a tremendous compromise.

The colors! The camera! The battery life

The size! The display

Update, November 2: We got round to carrying out the majority of tests that we couldn't do a couple of weeks ago. You can find the results in the updated lab tests section of the review.

If you want a next-as-in-X-generation iPhone but you don't want to pay a thousand or more bucks for it, you want an XR.
