Apple announces the iPhone Xr
The device includes a 6.1-inch 'Liquid Retina' display, which gives it a 326ppi pixel density, the same as previous standard Retina devices. It's still a True Tone display though, with a 120Hz refresh rate.
It's made of 7000 series "aerospace-grade aluminum", with more durable glass. It's IP67 rated, so it's only water-resistant, unlike the more premium Xs models that are IP68.
Just like its more premium counterparts, it's powered by an A12 Bionic chipset, a 7nm quad-core chip that also includes a neural engine for dedicated machine learning tasks. This means that it can perform five trillion AI tasks in a second, whereas the A11 could do 600 billion.
This also results in camera improvements, although the iPhone Xr is a single-lens camera, so you don't get Portrait Mode like you get on the dual-lens models. The lens is the same as the main one on the iPhone Xs, which is 12 megapixels with an f/1.8 aperture.
The front camera, however, is the same as the iPhone Xs. It's a seven-megapixel sensor, and it supports Portrait Mode using the IR camera.
The iPhone Xr will come in 64GB, 128GB, and 256GB, and it starts at $749. You can pre-order on October 19, and it will be available on October 26. It's available in black, white, red, yellow, coral and blue.

I like the new designs and the budget phone is cool as well, I won't be getting one but for people who want an upgrade like that that's cool.
JimboPosted:
So sad that people actually spend this kind of money to upgrade every year. I'm still at an iPhone 6 lmao.
CraigPosted:
The screen is good, but not worth the stupid premium yet again put on by this annoying brand.
TOXICPosted:
Ill be getting the iPhone Xs Max sometime next year, as its gonna take me a while to save up a whopping £1100 lol.

So it has a new chip for AI which will probably bring little per-core performance improvements, waste of money imo :(
