A Review On Apple iPhone XR Mobile
A Review On Apple iPhone XR Mobile
Price: Rs.148,999
The most ‘affordable’ offering from this year’s line-up of iPhones, the iPhone XR offers almost the same features as the iPhone XS and the iPhone XS Max, but at a significantly lower price. The XR is a premium phone in its own right. It definitely looks and feels like something you would expect from Apple. That being said, the XR gives consumers the opportunity to get their hands on the latest technology from Apple, while saving around 250 dollars or around 30,000 rupees. This might just make it the best-selling iPhone this year. All in all, the iPhone XR will set you back around 750 dollars, or around Rs. 100,000, when Apple starts accepting preorders on October 19. The first shipments are scheduled for around the end of that month which means it could take November to reach Pakistan.
Affordable doesn’t means cheap
In terms of design, the iPhone XR may not be quite as impressive as its more expensive stablemates, the iPhone XS and the iPhone XS Max, but it’s still no slacker. The design is based on last year’s iPhone X, meaning we get a pane of tempered glass front/back and a metal frame acting as the skeleton that holds everything together.
The metal frame on the iPhone XR is a precision machined anodized piece of aero grade aluminum instead of the fancier polished stainless steel one found on its more expensive siblings. The front features an almost edge to edge screen with a notch to facilitate the sensors and front facing camera. At the back, the iPhone XR has a single main camera with a flash, with the apple logo in the center of course.
Where the iPhone XR outshines both the iPhone XS and the iPhone XS Max is the variety of spectacular color options it comes in. Among the gorgeous colors on offer are blue, white, black, yellow, coral, and a special red which is used in different products to raise awareness about HIV/AIDS known as Product Red. Apple uses a special seven layer color process to get that beautiful depth and richness which makes the iPhone XR a thing to behold.
The iPhone XR comes in at 150.9mm x 75.7mm x 8.3mm, meaning it’s a little bigger than the iPhone XS and a little smaller than the XS Max, which makes it the perfect size for most people. It’s 0.6mm thicker than both of those devices though. It’s rated at a waterproof rating of IP67 as compared to the XS duo’s IP68, so it can stay under 1 meter of water for 30 minutes without harm. The others can do 2 meters, but we don’t think anyone will purposefully attempt that.
Apple iPhone XR pros:
A big drop in price as compared to the XS and XS Max
Retains the same excellent A12 Bionic chipset, giving it virtually the same processing capabilities
Stunning finish on the back and available in many colours
Size is almost perfect for most people
Big screen if you’re one of the screen-savvy
Apple iPhone XR cons:
Still quite expensive; despite being about 250 dollars cheaper than the iPhone XS, it’ll still set you back about a 100,000 rupees
Slightly lower quality screen compared to its other siblings
