The iPhone XR uses the A12 Bionic chip found in the iPhone XS, while the iPhone 11's A13 Bionic is currently the fastest mobile chip the company makes. The iPhone XR is on top, the XS on bottom. Those two missing holes at the right side of the XS are the extra antenna that the XR needs. Audio formats supported: AAC‑LC, HE‑AAC, HE‑AAC v2, Protected AAC, MP3, Linear PCM, Apple Lossless, FLAC, Dolby Digital (AC‑3), Dolby Digital Plus (E‑AC‑3), Dolby Atmos, and Audible (formats 2, 3, 4, Audible Enhanced Audio, AAX, and AAX+) The iPhone X R display has rounded corners that follow a curved design, and these corners are within a standard rectangle. When measured as a standard rectangular shape, the screen is 6.06 inches diagonally. Actual viewable area is less.

But I can't ignore the fact that it has significantly worse wireless performance than either of this year's other iPhones, or competing Android phones at the same price. It's also on the large size, and if you're going to get a big iPhone, you should get the iPhone XS Max, with its better Wi-Fi, cellular, LAA, dual cameras, and higher-resolution screen in basically the same body. And get it on a three-year contract so you don't feel brutalized by the price. The iPhone XR, like the XS and XS Max, has Apple's innovative dual-SIM system that uses one physical SIM and one virtual SIM. The phone supports all possible US carriers on the main SIM slot, including T-Mobile's new Band 71. The secondary slot, right now, is mostly for roaming: Companies like Truphone and GigSky offer bite-sized, global data plans that are often more affordable than roaming with your primary carrier. Considering the iPhone XR's precarious position between the more current iPhone 11 and the newly-revamped iPhone SE, there's a good chance it won't be available anywhere for too much longer.

Availability over a cellular network depends on carrier policies; data charges may apply. The iPhone XRdisplay has rounded corners that follow a beautiful curved design, and these corners are within a standard rectangle.

I've actually been here for every "G." I've reviewed well over a thousand products during 18 years working full-time at PCMag.com, including every generation of the iPhone and the Samsung Galaxy S. I also write a weekly newsletter, Fully Mobilized, where I obsess about phones and networks.

It's worth noting though, that while the iPhone XR is IP67 rated (able to survive under 1 meter of water for 30 minutes), the iPhone 11 is IP68 rated, bumping its water resistance up to 2 meters.

Tested against a Netgear R7000 router at 5GHz, the XR got 3-11Mbps in weak-signal conditions, where the other phones were getting 40-70Mbps. Farther from the router, we got 12Mbps on the XS, 31Mbps on the Pixel 3, and nothing on the XR, which reported that it had signal but simply couldn't connect. That's pretty disappointing. The displays on the iPhone XR and iPhone 11 are essentially identical. Both panels are 6.1-inches, with a resolution of 1792 x 828 pixels. We'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 While the display isn't quite edge-to-edge, the bezels aren't huge, and each the dimensions of both are, in fact identical: they're both 5.94-inches tall, 2.98-inches wide, and 0.33-inches deep with a weight of 6.84 ounces.
