The iPhone XR is the best iPhone for the price, delivering most of the advantages of the iPhone XS for hundreds less.
The less expensive iPhone XR delivers most iPhone X and XS features; including an excellent big screen in a comfortable body; fast performance; Face ID and wireless charging; and a camera that's mostly as good as the iPhone XS.
The iPhone XR's single rear camera lacks optical zoom and has a limited portrait mode; Its LCD screen, while large, bright and vivid, is still a step below the iPhone XS' OLED in contrast; The aluminum XR is slightly less durable than the steel XS.
