The long-awaited new iPhone models were officially launched by Apple during the event at the Steve Jobs Theater in Cupertino. iPhone XS, iPhone XS Max si iPhone XR were presented for the first time to the general public, Apple offering images, hardware technical specifications, for mobile devices to report the and of course the prices of the new iPhone models.

In addition to the top iPhone XS and iPhone XS Max models, Apple launched a cheaper version, but with no decent hardware specifications. iPhone XR is the pattern that many would call it iPhone 9, but most likely "XR" was chosen because this iPhone respects the design lines of the iPhone X.

iPhone XR – Design, Camera, Processor, Display and Prices

iPhone XR Design

The iPhone XR comes in a varied range of colors that remind us of the iPhone 5C. In terms of technical specifications, however, it can compete with the iPhone X. With a carefully finished aluminum shell, the iPhone XR is launched by Apple in six color variants: white, black, blue, yellow, coral si red (PRODUCT (red)).

We must recognize that the red product (Product RED) is sensational.

iPhone XR Display

As can be seen from the images above, display- is present on almost the entire front surface, just like the iPhone X. This makes the overall size smaller than the iPhone 8, although it has a display bigger.
iPhone XR comes with a screen LCD Multi-Touch on the whole surface, Liquid Retina HD with the diagonal of 6.1-inch, resolution of 1792 828 pixels x with 326 ppi. There is little to comment here. Although apparently displayis larger than the iPhone 8 Plus, the pixels are smaller. The iPhone Xr comes with a longer screen, but also much narrower than the iPhone 8 Plus.
