The iPhone XR is among the three iPhones that were launched in 2024 It’s the most affordable among the three models as it cost just $749, so it does not come with all the high end features you will find on the iPhone XS and XS Max. You will notice that Apple uses a Liquid Retina LCD display instead of an OLED one, and the screen resolution is also lower.
It’s built with Aluminium Alloy instead of stainless steel and glass, and it has an IP67 rating instead of IP68 rating on the later. Other noticeable changes are the lack of 3D Touch and it has a maximum inbuilt memory of 256GB.
It has a single rear camera on that back with selfies snapper as well. Must of the difference here is not that much and they don’t really matter much to users. What matters the most is the hardware which the iPhone XR still maintain the latest Apple A12 Bionic chip with next-generation Neural Engine.
On the model, the iPhone XR is available in 4 models and they are A1984, A2105, A2106, and A2108. In this article, we will be looking at their differences with their network bands and other info you’ll like to Know.
