Review: iPhone XR — The best $250 you ever saved on a new phone
Lately, Apple has made shopping for an iPhone complicated. So let me simplify: If you're in the market for an upgrade, buy the iPhone XR. I don't blame anyone who's been holding on to an old iPhone 6, 6S or 7. The data shows people are waiting longer and longer to upgrade, with good reason: Phones haven't been getting that much better, yet prices have pushed to $1,000, or even $1,450 for the top iPhone. related advertisement With the $750 iPhone XR, you have the opportunity to leap ahead to better technology -- like a superior camera and more screen -- without getting a nosebleed from the price tag. The best part: Your battery will last an astounding three hours longer than the $1,000 iPhone XS, according to my tests. Just promise you'll do one thing before you buy: Go to a store and see whether the XR's larger shape fits your hand.Apple confused everyone this fall by introducing three new models: the iPhone XS (large), the iPhone XR (larger) and the iPhone XS Max … [Read more...] about Review: iPhone XR — The best $250 you ever saved on a new phone
Apple iPhone XR review: better than good enough
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? Apple has an answer, and it’s $250. That’s the price difference between the new iPhone XR and Apple’s top-of-the-line iPhone XS. It’s the price difference between the XR’s 6.1-inch “Liquid Retina” LCD screen and the 5.8-inch OLED screen on the XS. Apart from the display, the XR and XS are far more similar than not: they share the same A12 Bionic processors, main cameras with Smart HDR, iOS 12, gesture controls, wireless charging capabilities, and even the forthcoming dual-SIM support. There are some other subtle differences as well: the XR has a single rear camera, while the XS has a second telephoto lens. The XR is offered in just one somewhat large size, while the XS comes in smaller and larger variants. And the XR is made of … [Read more...] about Apple iPhone XR review: better than good enough
