The iPhone XR (pronounced "ten R") is a type of smartphone made by Apple Inc.. It was first shown on September 12, 2018. This happened at the Steve Jobs Theater in Cupertino, California.

The iPhone XR came after the iPhone X, which was released in 2017. It was launched at the same time as the iPhone XS and XS Max. The XR was the most affordable iPhone released in 2018.

You could buy the iPhone XR in many cool colors. These included white, coral, yellow, blue, space gray, and a special PRODUCT(RED) version. It also came with different storage sizes. You could choose from 64, 128, or 256 GB of space. The iPhone XR has a 6.1-inch LCD screen. It started selling for US $749.

Key Features of iPhone XR

The iPhone XR, along with the XS and XS Max, changed how iPhones worked. These were the first iPhones that did not come with a special adapter. This adapter let you plug in regular headphones. If you wanted one, you had to buy it separately.

Design and Display

Like the iPhone X that came before it, the iPhone XR does not have a home button. Instead, it has a "notch" at the top of the screen. This notch holds the front camera and other sensors. The screen is a 6.1-inch Liquid Retina HD Display. It uses True Tone technology. This makes the colors on the screen look more natural.

Availability and Launch

People could start ordering the iPhone XR on October 19, 2018. The phones then became available to buy in stores a week later. This was on October 26, 2018.
