About the iPhone XR
The iPhone XR is a mid-range 6.1-inch handset that sports many of the features of its OLED counterparts, including Face ID, an edge-to-edge display, wireless charging, and Apple’s A12 Bionic chip.
To keep its cost lower, the iPhone XR does make a few compromises — like swapping a stainless steel chassis for aluminum and an OLED display for new Liquid Retina LCD technology. It also trades a dual-lens camera setup for a single-lens rear-camera.
Unlike the iPhone XS and XS Max, the iPhone XR will also come in a variety of new bold colors like white, black, blue, coral, yellow and (PRODUCT)RED. (You’ll also be able to pick up a new clear case to show off said color.)
The iPhone XR starts at $749 for the 64GB configuration or about $37.41 a month for 24 months via Apple’s iPhone Upgrade Program. The 128GB and 256GB models run $799 and $899 respectively.
If you manage to get your iPhone XR preorder in today, you can expect the handset to arrive on your doorstep starting next Friday, Oct. 26.
