Apple iPhone XR: price, release date, and specs
Apple
Apple just introduced the iPhone XR, a new iPhone, starting at
$749, with a 6.1-inch screen — giving it more screen real estate
than the iPhone 8 Plus, which has a 5.5-inch screen.
The phone will be available to
order on October 19 and will start shipping on October
26.
The new device is one of three new iPhones Apple introduced
Wednesday at its annual event in Cupertino, California — Apple
also unveiled the iPhone XS and the iPhone XS Max, along with the
Apple Watch Series 4. At that
$749 price tag, it’s cheaper than either of the other two models,
which start at $999 and $1099, respectively.
What separates the iPhone XR from the other devices is its LCD
display, with a lower resolution than the just-announced iPhone
XS and XS Max, which results in a lower price point. It also has
a single-lens camera, and is made from aluminum.
The iPhone XR will also come in six colors: black, white, red,
yellow, coral, and blue. It will come in three storage sizes: 64
GB, 128 GB, and 256 GB.
