Along with the announcement of the iPhone XS and iPhone XS Max, Apple also announced a surprise unveiling of a device called the Apple iPhone XR that more or less looks like a replacement for the Apple iPhone 8 and iPhone 8 Plus. Let’s take a look.
The smartphone features a design that clearly resembles the previous Apple iPhone 8 and 8 Plus, except for the fact that the display is now bezel-less with a notch. The screen is now 6.1-inch in size with IPS LCD display and Apple claims that its the most advanced display they have made of its kind. The screen resolution is 828 x 1792. The front and rear side of the smartphone is made of 7000 series aluminum frame. The device features Dual-SIM capability, featuring one nano-SIM slot and one e-SIM integrated within. The smartphone display also comes with a 120Hz refresh rate. The main camera of the Apple iPhone XR comprises of a single 12MP shooter with F1.8 aperture. The camera is capable of 4K video recording at 60 fps along with support for optical image stabilization for blur-free shots and video recording. The phase detection autofocus helps to quickly focus on subjects with ease. The front-facing camera of the iPhone XR comes with a 7MP shooter that can record Full HD videos at 60fps.
Just as the iPhone XS, the Apple iPhone XR features the hexa-core Apple A12 Bionic processor. However, the difference comes with respect to the amount of RAM as the iPhone XR packs 3GB RAM, which is still sufficient enough to handle the multitasking operations of the iOS 12 OS. There is another difference between the iPhone XR and the iPhone XS and that’s the storage capacity options. The Apple iPhone XR comes in 64GB, 128GB and 256GB capacities. Apple claims that the battery life of the iPhone XR is about 90 mins more than what the iPhone 8 Plus can offer. The device is also capable of wireless charging up to 50% in 30mins along with Qi based wireless charging.
The Apple iPhone XR weighs 194g and has a thickness of 8.3mm. The device also certified with IP67 for dust and water resistance. The Apple iPhone XR will come in Black, Red, Yellow, Blue and Coral colors.
