That's how new iPhones stand out

A month after the iPhone XS and XS Max, Apple's economical iPhone XR smartphone is now available. We show the main differences between new iPhones.

Who does not want to spend a sum of four figures for a new iPhone, had to be patient this year. Only a month after the iPhone XS and XS Max, the iPhone XR is available. We show what are the main differences between new iPhones.

The price

Of course, the main difference is the price. The iPhone XS starts at 1199 francs, the iPhone XS Max at 1299 – each with 64 GB of storage space. The variant of 256 GB costs 1389 or 1489 francs, 512 GB of storage space is available for 1639 or 1739 francs.

However, the iPhone XR costs "only" 879 francs for 64 GB of storage space, 949 francs for 128 GB and 1069 francs for 256 GB. All prices are of course without subscription.

L & # 39; screen

Second important difference: the screen. Here, the iPhone XR has a 6.1 inch LCD screen. Siblings have a choice of 5.8 inches on the XS and 6.5 inches on the XS Max, but here we use modern OLED technology, which offers a more colorful image. In addition, the pixel density is higher with XS and XS Max than with the XR.

Although the iPhone XR on the front is similar to that of its siblings, the edges are significantly wider than the high-end models, so the screen can not support the case as much.

The technique

Inside, the iPhone XR is guided by the same technology as the most expensive models. Here's how the new A12 Bionic processor works. The RAM is slightly smaller with the 3GB XR than with the XS / XS Max (4GB). Face ID technology is the same for all new iPhones.

However, the iPhone XR lacks 3D Touch, a feature introduced with the iPhone 6, which can be triggered by a stronger pressure on the screen, a specific action. However, in practice, 3D Touch has hardly made sense since its introduction, so this loss should be tolerable.

The camera

There are also differences in the rear camera. iPhone XS and XS Max have two goals here, the XR only one. However, portraits and bokeh effects are still possible, Apple relies on a software solution. Other new software features, such as Smart HDR, are also available on the XR. The selfie camera is identical.

Colors

iPhone XS and XS Max are based on the Apple, Silver, Space Gray and Gold colors that have proven themselves. On the other hand, it gets more exciting on the iPhone XR. It is available in six different colors: white, black, blue, yellow, coral (an orange tone) and red as a red product.
