The Apple iPhone Xr is Apple’s budget-friendly iPhone for this year. Apple introduced the iPhone Xr along with the iPhone Xs and the iPhone Xs Max. The other two variants are premium and they come with a hefty price tag. However, the iPhone Xr is supposed to cater to the audience who wanted a phone similar to last year’s iPhone 8 or iPhone 8 Plus. Apple itself calls the iPhone Xr a successor of the iPhone 8 and iPhone 8 Plus. The iPhone Xr comes with Apple’s new A12 Bionic chip.
