The iPhone XR has a single, f/1.8 12-megapixel main camera that records 4K video at 60 frames per second. It's the same main camera as on the iPhone XS and XS Max, and took identical pictures in testing, even in poor light. It's very good —good enough that any debate between it and other top-notch mobile cameras is really just at the bragging rights level. So why would Apple turn to staid, conventional colors for its higher priced phones, while opting for more alluring colors on the less expensive XR? It’s not a surprising move, Kelleher said: "Color is an easy and immediate way to convey status." iPhone XR measures 150.9 x 72.9 x 8.3 mm and weighs 194 g. Crafted from aerospace-grade aluminium and glass. It is IP67 dust and waterproof. The 6.1-inch IPS display delivers 1792 x 828 resolution, resulting in a pixel density of 326 PPI. It features True Tone technology as well as an oleophobic coating to prevent fingerprints. To top it off, Apple has crafted the iPhone XR with aerospace-grade aluminium, long-lasting battery life, wireless charging functionality, and advanced facial recognition.

Apple's A12 processor is the most powerful mobile chip available today, and one of the XR's big benefits is that it gives you access to all of that A12 juice. On Geekbench, it benchmarks at 10 to 15 percent higher than the iPhone 8 and iPhone X in terms of pure CPU performance, and 40 percent higher in terms of GPU computing performance. On GFXBench, a graphics benchmark, it's similarly 40 to 45 percent better than the iPhone 8 on offscreen tests, which don't take screen resolution into account.If you play a lot of games, or watch a lot of videos, you'll likely need to charge it before bed, but on average the iPhone XR battery life is reliable. In China mainland, you can use Apple Pay on the web in Safari only on compatible iPhone and iPad models using iOS 11.2 or later. Siri may not be available in all languages or in all areas, and features may vary by area. Internet access required. Cellular data charges may apply. It's a nice look, although it would be nice to have some more flashes of color on the front of the phone too. Apple claim that the battery now provides up to 1.5 hours more life when compared with the iPhone 8 Plus. It supports fast charging, juicing up to 50% in 30 minutes, as well as wireless charging via the Qi standard. Cameras

So, you’re thinking about purchasing a refurbished iPhone XR? Good choice! This might not be the latest model in the iPhone range, but its specification still stands up against some of the flagship devices produced by the tech behemoth.Video mirroring and video out support: Up to 1080p through Lightning Digital AV Adapter and Lightning to VGA Adapter (adapters sold separately) 6 Wi-Fi performance is also noticeably weaker than either the XS or a Google Pixel 3. Tested against a Netgear R7000 router at 5GHz, the XR got 3-11Mbps in weak-signal conditions, where the other phones were getting 40-70Mbps. Farther from the router, we got 12Mbps on the XS, 31Mbps on the Pixel 3, and nothing on the XR, which reported that it had signal but simply couldn't connect. That's pretty disappointing. Design: The XR has wider bezels and comes in a larger range of colour options. It is not quite as sleek and premium feeling as the other new phones, but still crafted of high-quality materials. iPhone XRembodies Apple’s continuing environmental progress. It is designed with the following features to reduce environmental impact:

Kelleher cited the work of color expert Lesley Harrington who believes that more complex colors denote more status.”So it makes sense that simpler colors aren't as expensive, while the metallic models cost more," she added. However, with the launch of the iPhone 13 range, Apple discontinued this phone, so you'll have to shop around to find it - with refurbished models now being more common. iPhone XR: key features Having a single camera means that portrait mode isn't as well-developed as on the XS. Taking portraits with both cameras (alas, of people too shy to have their photos in a review), I found a big difference and a small one. The big difference is that the XS uses the 2x camera to take those portraits, resulting in a more tightly framed, headshot-like image at arm's length that is far more flattering. The smaller difference is that the XR's software has some problems with blurring out bits of hair that are behind other bits of hair, so when you zoom in, the silhouetting just isn't perfect.Apple is never one to shy away from some marketing hyperbole, and the iPhone XR comes with a different type of LCD, a screen that's been designed to allow it to make this curved, 'all-screen' display. Apple believes you'll be able to get 90 minutes more battery life out of the iPhone XR than the 8 Plus, which is a big jump in real terms. Well – and we don't want to spoil the surprise a little later – we'd say it's even better: the iPhone XR finally achieves the holy grail of all-day battery life in an iPhone. A year on, and the iPhone XR is still regularly getting through a day on a single charge.
