![]() ![]() There’s no headphone jack, and Apple has also decided not to include the 3.5mm headphone jack adapter in the box anymore. You’ll be satisfied listening to them if you’re in a quiet room, but they will struggle outdoors if it’s noisy. The stereo speakers on the iPhone XR are loud and sound good, though the audio is not as dynamic or robust as the sound coming out of the speakers from the Razer Phone 2. There’s not a lot of competition here on the Android side, though that may be starting to change. At the $750 price range, it’s one of the few facial recognition tools you can use to log into secure apps. Julian Chokkattu/Digital Trendsįace ID is the primary way you will unlock the phone, and it works just as fast as on the iPhone XS. And it’s not as cumbersome as the 6.5-inch XS Max, which is undoubtedly a two-handed phone. It’s not as easy to use one handed as the 5.8-inch iPhone XS, but we can still reach most parts of the screen. At 6.1 inches, it sits right in between the flagships (slightly smaller than Samsung’s Galaxy S9 Plus). The iPhone XR does have the advantage of being the perfect size for people who find the XS too small and the XS Max too big. We think the screen will be good enough for most people, but it’s among the XR’s few shortcomings. The screen is colorful, and it’s plenty bright enough for use outdoors. Black levels aren’t as deep as the OLEDs on the XS and XS Max, but they’re close. That said, it’s difficult to find much else wrong with the display. Even the $530 OnePlus 6 has 2,280 x 1,080 resolution. We think Apple could have added at least a 1080p screen here - you’ll hardly find an Android phone in this price range with such a low-resolution screen. Look closer and pixels will start to be visible. Apple calls it the Liquid Retina Display, and while the screen resolution may sound a little low, it looks sharp at the distance you typically hold your phone. That’s good, because the XR has a large 6.1-inch LCD screen with 1,792 x 828 resolution. It has a slightly lower water resistance rating at IP67 rather than IP68.We feel like Gollum, admiring the beauty of the one ring. It delivers this with an aluminium frame, making it slightly thicker than the more expensive models - although the thickness isn't noticeable in the hand. The iPhone XR features the same design language as its more premium siblings, with an all-glass back and a notched screen dominating the front. The coral is very hit and miss, as it's neither orange or salmon. Six colour options: white, black, blue, yellow, coral and (Product) Redīright and colourful, the Apple iPhone XR is a playful device in comparison to the more serious iPhone 13 Pro models, although the standard iPhone 11 also gives you some decent colour options, and the standard iPhone 12 models and iPhone 13 models come in a good range too.Īvailable in six finishes - comprising white, black, blue, yellow, coral and (Product) Red - it's the blue and yellow ones that stand out as the most desirable for the XR. ![]() If you're still set on the iPhone XR, though, below you'll find our review. It will also support future iOS updates and features for longer than the iPhone XR will. If the iPhone 11 is out of budget, then we would recommend the iPhone SE (2022), which has the same power as the iPhone 13 models, making it much more powerful than the iPhone XR. You'll save yourself money by buying the iPhone XR, but it's possible you'll have to upgrade again sooner than if you were to opt for the iPhone 11, which not only offers a second camera lens on the rear, but also features like Night Mode, allowing for better low light photography. The iPhone XR is coming up to four years old, and while it will still work well and does still supports iOS software updates, that won't be the case forever. You'll still be able to buy the iPhone XR in other outlets, as we mentioned, but whether you should is an entirely different question? In short, we probably wouldn't recommend it. The Apple iPhone XR was still sold by Apple until 2021, but, when the iPhone 13 models were introduced, the entry level Face ID switched from the iPhone XR to the iPhone 11. ![]()
