The iPhone XR and 8 Plus are similarly priced, similarly equipped phones. The XR ditches the home button for a notch and Face ID and comes in six eye catching colours. Its screen is larger and taller than the 8 Plus, too.But you might prefer the design an...

Unless you need to save money and buy the iPhone 8, then you're choice here is largely down to the screen.If you like the modern bezel-free design of the iPhone XR with its notch and Face ID then you're all good. It also has the advantage of a newer proce...
Great LCD screen, Good camera, Blistering performance,
Face ID still isn't there yet, No fast charger in the box
Listing the things that the iPhone XR lacks when compared to the XS and XS Max makes it seem like you're losing a lot just to shave £250 off the asking price: no OLED screen, no telephoto camera, weaker water and dust protection, no 3D Touch, 1GB less of...
With the 2018 line up of new iPhones Apple kissed goodbye to Touch ID, and so iPhone fans have to as well. Once you embrace it Face ID probably won't be as bad as you imagine, and you will get used to the lack of Home button, technology moves on and so mu...

It's clear that the iPhone 11 is really the replacement for the XR due to its almost identical design and range of colours. It also shares some specs like the Liquid Retina display.The XR is still a decent choice, and is cheaper of course, but getting the...
If you already have an iPhone X, then there is really no benefit in moving to the XR. Aside from the upgraded processor and pretty colours, the earlier model has a superior display, better cameras, and more premium build.However, if you're choosing betwee...

Although the XS is discontinued via Apple, we'd still recommend getting the iPhone XR over it. Even more so now that Apple has lowered the price to £629/$599.The XR has a lot going for it including a larger screen, colourful design, the same performance a...

Entertaining, musical sound, Natural picture, Good battery life,
OLED rivals are punchier, Headphone dongle is extra,
(Image credit: Future)So where does this leave the iPhone XR? Well, we think it sits right in the sweet spot of Apple's current smartphone line-up.It's significantly cheaper than both the XS and XS Max and the reality is that the XR delivers a huge chunk...

Abstract: The iPhone XS and iPhone XR launched at the same time in September 2018, although the XR only became available later on. While the XR is the more colourful option, the two are hard to tell apart on first glance.Here we explore why there's a £250/$250 pric...
Usually a OnePlus phone comes with the caveat of it being 'good for the money', but with the 7 Pro that would be patronising. The 7 Pro is not good for the money at all, it's great, excellent in fact. The hardware design is top drawer and backed up by som...
