Waited too long to own a new iPhone but don\u2019t want to play the cards wrong? Torn between the three newly released iPhones? <\/span><\/p>\n

Well, your waiting is not in vain. Apple brings out its latest flagship phone, the iPhone Xr with its Liquid Retina HD screen display, a first in all iPhones.<\/span><\/p>\n

After launching i<\/span>Phone Xs<\/span><\/a> and <\/span>iPhone Xs Max<\/span><\/a>, Apple releases iPhone Xr<\/strong> later in the same month. Many believe it to be the upgraded version of iPhone 8 plus, but they can\u2019t be blamed, the features are almost the same. At least, there\u2019s a visible improvement. <\/span><\/p>\n

It stands 6.1 inches tall, with an IPS LCD display screen. It \u2019s dual sim, has a 3 GB RAM, 3 internal storage options (64 GB, 128 GB & 256 GB), and 6 choices of colors. <\/span><\/p>\n

There\u2019s nothing controversial or life-changing about the iPhone Xr\u2019s camera, but just like the rest of the latest iPhones, its TrueDepth feature will surely satisfy your need for taking simple yet memorable photos. <\/span><\/p>\n

You can get it at T-mobile for $0.00 down at $20.84\/mo (36x mo). You can buy it unlocked starting at $749.99.<\/span><\/p>\n

iPhone Xr\u2019s Build and Design<\/b><\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The hardware parts of iPhone Xr is made of surgical steel glass and aerospace-grade aluminum. It has earned a rating of IP67; it is splash, water, and dust resistant. <\/span><\/p>\n

This look is completed by a fingerprint-resistant oleophobic coating in 6 color finishing choices—black, white, red, yellow, blue, and coral.<\/span><\/p>\n

The caveat is that it is not pressure sensitive. You can\u2019t customize the sensitivity that you can use in pressing the screen of your smartphone, too bad.<\/span><\/p>\n

iPhone Xr is supported by an A12 bionic chipset with a hexa-core processor; the latest technology Apple has to power their iPhones. It is remarkably faster than the older iPhone models. <\/span><\/p>\n

It is supported by a 3GB RAM, which is good, but it\u2019s going to get problematic if you use a lot of heavy apps at the same time. Its new features like TrueDepth, Location assistance, etc would eat up a lot of the phone\u2019s memory capacity and this can slow down the iPhone Xr\u2019s response time and performance.<\/span><\/p>\n

iPhone Xr surprised many iPhone users because of its switch from Super Retina to Liquid Retina HD display; which means we\u2019re back to good old IPS LCD from OLED.<\/span><\/p>\n

We liked the fact that iPhone Xs and Xs Max have an OLED screen and it\u2019s such a let down to know that iPhone Xr\u2019s screen technology is IPS LCD. This meant not having brighter images and deep blacks that OLED can offer. <\/span><\/p>\n

On the other hand, liquid Retina filled the screen of iPhone Xr edge-to-edge, but it still has that iconic notch at the top similar to iPhone Xs and iPhone Xs Max.<\/span><\/p>\n

It also offered a natural, wider color variation in a 326-pixel density. <\/span><\/p>\n

In terms of cameras, iPhone Xr has a 7MP(front) and 12MP(rear). Not bad, but nothing compared to other Android flagship phones.<\/span><\/p>\n

The TrueDepth Camera feature gives a much better bokeh effect, depth control, and portrait lighting than the previous iPhones. <\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

iPhone Xr is quoted as the descendant of iPhone 8 plus and really live up to its name. The \u2018<\/span>it -is- iPhone -8 -plus- but- not -really\u2019 <\/span><\/i>vibe is there.<\/span><\/p>\n

A few upgrades can be seen in this smartphone from a bigger bezel-less display size, system chip, GPU, \u00a0and biometrics (from fingerprints to Face ID). <\/span><\/p>\n

However, if you own an iPhone 8 plus, we don\u2019t think the upgrade is enough to make a switch with your current phone yet.<\/span><\/p>\n

On the other hand, compared to iPhone Xs and Xs Max; iPhone Xr is inferior in both specs and features. Thus, it was justified by its price, since iPhone Xr is more affordable than iPhone Xs and Xs Max.<\/span><\/p>\n

Conclusion:<\/b><\/p>\n

iPhone Xr is graded lower compared to the other two newest release flagships of Apple- <\/span>iPhone Xs and iPhone Xs Max.<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

However, if you were a fan of iPhone 8 plus but you want the look of iPhone Xs and Xs max, \u00a0iPhone Xr is the one for you. <\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
