Apple iPhone XR Review: This year Apple decided to break convention again with a third phone. While the iPhone X was a higher-specced, more expensive, smartphone last year, this year it is offering the iPhone XR, a lower-specced, more affordable phone along with its flagships.

The iPhone XR isn't a budget smartphone. According to Apple, it's also not the successor to the poorly received iPhone 5C - though in some sense, it undeniably is. While many, including even Apple in some instances, have referred to the iPhone XR as the company's latest entry-level smartphone, the...

Bright colours standout; Includes most of the iPhone XS' best features; Build quality is impressive

Still expensive; Lack of 1080p display is dissapointing; Some will miss 2x camera zoom

Here's a question: how much do you care about the display on your phone Take a moment and really consider it. If you were to put a dollar amount on it, how much would having a perfect display be worth to you

Fun colors; Competitive price for Apple's latest processor and cameras; Great battery life

Good but not great display; Only one size option; Camera does strange things sometimes

We got three new iPhone models this year and with the iPhone XS or XS Max, there is a very clear indication of what you're getting which is the best that Apple has to offer. But Apple also introduced the iPhone XR- a lower cost option for someone looking to hop onto Apple's new vision for its mobile...

Fantastic battery life; Attractive array of colors; Lower price tag

Good but not great display; Portrait camera mode doesn't impress; Expensive for a non-flagship product

Announced at the same time as the iPhone XS, but not made available to the market until a few weeks later, the iPhone XR is intended to be a more affordable option for those who want an iOS device.

Terrible. I am not rough with my phone by any means but this case had several scratches in the pearl back within 24 hours. Also, it attracts dyes in other fabrics to discolor the case.

I love the screen and how it fits almost all of the space; I have a bigger screen than my old iPhone (6s plus) but the phone itself is smaller; It feels modern and sleek; The battery is also much better than previous models

I don't like the headphone jack and the charger port being the same thing

Very poor performance difference for the price- and the screen scratches incredibly easily. Be warned... if you're going to buy one make sure you have a screen protector.

Did not like the battery life of XS, so I took care of it for the benefit of an XR. XR feels strangely like a better phone, even though it is obviously easier and cheaper. + Battery time. Finally okay. Plus Standard without having to have Plus Size. Usually has 60-70% left at bedtime. + Screen.

Good value
