<\/p>\nApple\u00a0has officially announced the iPhone XR, a new model that features a notched 6.1-inch LCD display and Apple\u2019s Face ID system, similar to last year\u2019s iPhone X. The new iPhone XR is a pretty significant upgrade for Apple, making the iPhone X\u2019s design and features standard across the company\u2019s latest line of phones. Apple is calling the 6.1-inch screen a \u201cLiquid Retina\u201d display, which offers a 1792 x 828 resolution at 326 PPI.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
That said, while the XR may look like a larger iPhone XS, there are a few compromises \u2014 the frame is aluminum, not stainless steel. There\u2019s IP67 water and dust protection, instead of the improved IP68 rating on the iPhone XS, and the screen is LCD, not OLED. There\u2019s also no 3D Touch \u2014 instead Apple is offering a new Haptic touch system, that offers similar feedback to the buttonless MacBook Pro trackpad<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The iPhone XR features Apple\u2019s latest A12 Bionic processor, just like the iPhone XS and XS Max \u2014 which Apple says offers improved speeds and performance over last year\u2019s model, particularly for Apple\u2019s \u201cNeural Engine\u201d AI processing.<\/p>\n
Despite its larger size, the iPhone XR features only a single rear camera, similar to the iPhone 8. The camera is a single 12-megapixel wide-angle camera \u2014 the same wide-angle camera as the XS. The single camera does offer portrait mode, combining hardware and software to create the blurred background effect.<\/p>\n
As for the front-facing camera, it\u2019s gotten an upgrade to Apple\u2019s TrueDepth system from the iPhone XS, with a 7-megapixel sensor that allows for Face ID as well as features like portrait mode selfies, Animoji, and Memoji. It\u2019s the same improved system as featured on the XS, with faster Face ID unlocking.<\/p>\n
On the battery life front, Apple is promising up to an hour and a half longer battery than the iPhone 8 Plus. The XR also will come in a variety of colors, with black, white, blue, coral, yellow, and red options available for the widest selection of chromatic choice since the iPhone 5C.<\/p>\n
But while the iPhone XR may feel like a less flashy version of the iPhone XS, it does come at a significant advantage: a much lower price. The iPhone XR starts at $749 for a 64GB model, with 128GB and 256GB models also available. Preorders will start on October 19th for the XR, which will ship a week later on October 26th.<\/p>\n
