Having a single camera means that portrait mode isn't as well-developed as on the XS. Taking portraits with both cameras (alas, of people too shy to have their photos in a review), I found a big difference and a small one. The big difference is that the XS uses the 2x camera to take those portraits, resulting in a more tightly framed, headshot-like image at arm's length that is far more flattering. The smaller difference is that the XR's software has some problems with blurring out bits of hair that are behind other bits of hair, so when you zoom in, the silhouetting just isn't perfect.

It's the same main camera as on the iPhone XS and XS Max, and took identical pictures in testing, even in poor light. It's very good —good enough that any debate between it and other top-notch mobile cameras is really just at the bragging rights level. Siri may not be available in all languages or in all areas, and features may vary by area. Internet access required. Cellular data charges may apply.

Apple takes a complete product life cycle approach to determining our environmental impact. Learn moreabout iPhone and the EnvironmentWe're still in the process of running battery tests, but we have no reason to disbelieve Apple's claim that this will be the longest-lasting iPhone of the current three models. Apple claims 15 hours of internet usage, which in our experience is about halved when the screen's brightness is turned up to max, as compared with 12 hours (read 6) on the XS and 13 hours (read 6.5) on the XS Max. That extra hour of usage could make a difference for you, but I'd like to note that they still come nowhere near the 12 hours-plus of actual use on the Samsung Galaxy Note 9. Camera Since 1982, PCMag has tested and rated thousands of products to help you make better buying decisions. See how we test. Apple's A12 processor is the most powerful mobile chip available today, and one of the XR's big benefits is that it gives you access to all of that A12 juice. On Geekbench, it benchmarks at 10 to 15 percent higher than the iPhone 8 and iPhone X in terms of pure CPU performance, and 40 percent higher in terms of GPU computing performance. On GFXBench, a graphics benchmark, it's similarly 40 to 45 percent better than the iPhone 8 on offscreen tests, which don't take screen resolution into account.
