With both style and substance, the ‘budget’ iPhone XR is the iPhone to buy
10/23/2018, 10:14:04 AMApple’s iPhone XS and XS Max are its flagship smartphones that do everything and anything.

It comes in a range of colors like blue, red, coral, and yellow, and we can’t stop staring. ✔ It can shoot 4K 60 frames-per-second video, can record stereo sound, packs Smart HDR, and for the first time you can use Portrait Mode without the need for the secondary lens ✔ The iPhone 5S, which released in 2013, is the oldest iPhone capable of running iOS 12, so you’re getting a good deal of longevity out of your device
iPhone XR Review: You Don’t Have to Spend $1,000 for the Best iPhone

Review: Apple’s iPhone XR is a fine young cannibal
10/23/2018, 10:14:05 AMThis iPhone is great. It is most like the last iPhone — but not the last “best” iPhone — more like the last not as good iPhone.

If you’re upgrading from an iPhone 7 or […] ✔ See the two maps compared here, the iPhone XR’s depth map is far less aware of the scene depth and separation between the ‘slices’ of distance ✔ Whether you help Apple boost its average selling price by buying one of the maxed out XS models or you help it block another Android purchase with an iPhone XR, I think it will probably be happy having you, raw or cooked
