iPhone XR is a sort of middle way between the iPhone X and the iPhone 8.

The design resumes, even smaller, that of the iPhone X, but with a 6.1-inch LCD screen and not OLED. The size of the screen is greater than that of the iPhone 8 Plus, but being the display almost no frame the size of the new smartphone is lower.

Many of the features of the new iPhone XR are similar to those of the iPhone XS:there are facial recognition, a function to activate the screen by touching it, machine learning functions, the same A12 Bionic processor.

The rear camera is not double, so it can not perform an optical zoom, but is still equipped with the same sensor and the same lens as the most expensive model.
