Iphone xr: specifications, price and official launch

These months there was much speculation that Apple was going to present a cheaper iPhone at its presentation event. Ultimately, these rumors have turned out to be true. It is the iPhone XR, a somewhat more modest model in terms of specifications and with a significantly lower sale price than the other phones that the Cupertino firm has presented today. What can we expect from it?

iPhone XR: The cheap iPhone is a reality

It is a model that differs from the other two iPhones due to its specifications. In addition, it is the farewell to the signing of the Home button on their phones.

IPhone XR Specifications

The phone comes with a notch design and a screen with very fine frames. It takes full advantage of it, with a very current design. In this case it is an LCD screen. These are the complete specifications of the iPhone XR:

Screen: 6.1-inch LCD with 19: 9 ratio Processor: A12 Bionic RAM: 3 GB Internal storage: 64/128/256 GB Rear camera: 12 MP wide-angle with LED flash, optical stabilization, Smart HDR and Selective blur by AI Front camera: 8 MP Connectivity: Dual 4G, WiFi, Bluetooth 5.0, GPS, NFC Operating system: iOS 12 Others: Face ID Colors: White, black, red, yellow, coral and blue

iPhone XR: The Cheap Apple Model

In this model, the Cupertino company opts for an LCD screen with Liquid Retina. Despite being of a lower quality than the other two models, it is presented as the most complete LCD screen on the market. So Apple continues to stand out above other brands thanks to aspects like this. The phone has a notch, and a screen with hardly any frames, with aluminum frames.

As the processor for this iPhone XR we find the same as that of the other iPhone, A12 Bionic. A processor that gives the phone power and is efficient. As for RAM and storage, the phone features 3 GB of RAM and three storage options (64, 128, and 256 GB). So the user can choose the one that best suits them.

The iPhone XR has a single rear camera, although not for that reason they are going to take bad photos with it. It has a 12 megapixel camera with 1.4 micron pixels. It is the same lens that we see in the other models, only that this phone works alone. Again, it will be powered by AI, which will allow us to have additional modes with which to take better photos.

This phone also has Face ID, like the other models presented tonight. In all of them the absence of the fingerprint sensor is striking. The company has taken an important step by betting solely on facial recognition as the main technology in phones.

Price and availability

In order to buy this phone in Spain we will have to wait a little longer. Although the rest of the devices launch within a week, in the case of this model, it will take another month until it reaches stores.

The launch of the iPhone XR will be on October 26 in the case of Spain. The phone reservation will open a week before its launch, so it can be done from October 19. Spain is one of the countries in which this model will be launched first. In addition, we already have their prices.

There are three versions of the phone, which will arrive in stores in six colors. The prices of these versions are:
