During 2019 it was the world\u2019s best-selling smartphone, and it remained on sale right up until the September 2021 arrival of the iPhone 13 - there\u2019s plenty of examples around.<\/p>\n<p>The iPhone XR sits between the iPhone XS and XS Max for size. It has the same dimensions as an iPhone 11, but it\u2019s bigger than the iPhone 12 or iPhone 13. While the iPhone XR and iPhone XS share Apple\u2019s punchy A12 Bionic chip, the iPhone XS is more highly specified in most other important ways.<\/p>\n<p>Today you can buy a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mozillion.com\/products\/apple\/iphone-xr\">refurbished iPhone XR<\/a> for around \u00a3200, but should you?

Apple\u2019s mainstream phone inherited the \u2018bezel-less\u2019 design pioneered by the iPhone X, and made the leap from a fast-dating classic to a new icon. Instead of wide strips above and below the display, the iPhone XR\u2019s screen runs almost out to the phone\u2019s edges. There\u2019s no fingerprint reader, with security picked up by the front-facing TrueDepth camera.<\/p>\n<p>In common with all iPhones up to the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mozillion.com\/products\/apple\/iphone-11\">iPhone 11<\/a>, the iPhone XR has curved sides that sit nicely in the hand. It\u2019s a bit big, though - a standard <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mozillion.com\/products\/apple\/iphone-12\">iPhone 12<\/a> or <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mozillion.com\/products\/apple\/iphone-13\">iPhone 13<\/a> is slightly smaller, despite having the same size screen. At the rear, its polished glass panel is home to the Apple logo and a single camera lens - it looks neater than newer, multi-lens phones.<\/p>\n<p>Like other recent iPhones, the iPhone XR is water resistant, but only to one metre - buy an iPhone 12 or newer and it\u2019s six metres.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"et_pb_row_7 et_pb_row et_block_row\"><div class=\"et_pb_column_12 et_pb_column et_pb_column_1_3 et_block_column et_pb_css_mix_blend_mode_passthrough\"><div class=\"et_pb_text_12 et_pb_text et_pb_bg_layout_light et_animated et_pb_module et_block_module\"><div class=\"et_pb_text_inner\"><p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/res.cloudinary.com\/mozillion\/image\/upload\/f_auto,q_auto\/v1616996663\/v6q8dhdxcrusjza5gblf.png\" alt=\"Apple iPhone XR Front\" \/><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"et_pb_column_13 et_pb_column et_pb_column_1_3 et_block_column et_pb_css_mix_blend_mode_passthrough\"><div class=\"et_pb_text_13 et_pb_text et_pb_bg_layout_light et_animated et_pb_module et_block_module\"><div class=\"et_pb_text_inner\"><p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/res.cloudinary.com\/mozillion\/image\/upload\/f_auto,q_auto\/v1616996664\/lakfiolwsyoyupi6kuck.png\" alt=\"Apple iPhone XR Side\" \/><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"et_pb_column_14 et_pb_column et_pb_column_1_3 et-last-child et_block_column et_pb_css_mix_blend_mode_passthrough\"><div class=\"et_pb_text_14 et_pb_text et_pb_bg_layout_light et_animated et_pb_module et_block_module\"><div class=\"et_pb_text_inner\"><p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/res.cloudinary.com\/mozillion\/image\/upload\/f_auto,q_auto\/v1616996664\/hjjbjs4wrtvsd3senus3.png\" alt=\"Apple iPhone XR Back\" \/><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"et_pb_section_2 et_pb_section et_section_regular et_block_section\"><div class=\"et_pb_row_8 et_pb_row et_block_row\" id=\"display\"><div class=\"et_pb_column_15 et_pb_column et_pb_column_4_4 et-last-child et_block_column et_pb_css_mix_blend_mode_passthrough\"><div class=\"et_pb_text_15 et_pb_text et_pb_bg_layout_light et_pb_module et_block_module\"><div class=\"et_pb_text_inner\"><h2 style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>iPhone XR - display<\/strong><\/h2>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"et_pb_row_9 et_pb_row et_pb_row_1-4_3-4 et_block_row et_block_row_1-4_3-4\"><div class=\"et_pb_column_16 et_pb_column et_pb_column_1_4 et_block_column et_pb_css_mix_blend_mode_passthrough\"><div class=\"et_pb_text_16 et_pb_text et_pb_bg_layout_light et_animated et_pb_module et_block_module\"><div class=\"et_pb_text_inner\"><p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/res.cloudinary.com\/mozillion\/image\/upload\/f_auto,q_auto\/v1635431225\/PXL_20210930_105823139_udf5xl.jpg\" alt=\"Apple iPhone XR Display\" \/><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"et_pb_column_17 et_pb_column et_pb_column_3_4 et-last-child et_block_column et_pb_css_mix_blend_mode_passthrough\"><div class=\"et_pb_text_17 et_pb_text et_pb_bg_layout_light et_pb_module et_block_module\"><div class=\"et_pb_text_inner\"><p>The iPhone XR makes a great first impression, but its biggest weakness is obvious from the moment you switch it on. Its 6.1\u201d display is significantly bigger than the iPhone 8\u2019s 4.7\u201d screen, but it uses dated LCD technology, while the iPhone XS inherited the iPhone X\u2019s lush 5.8\u201d OLED.<\/p>\n<p>Technically, an OLED screen is built from millions of LED lights, while an LCD has one backlight and millions of \u2018shutters\u2019. In practice, an OLED screen is brighter, has greater contrast, and typically comes with a higher resolution.<\/p>\n<p>Sure enough, compare the iPhone XR and iPhone XS and you can immediately see how much brighter and more vibrant the flagship is. The iPhone XR screen isn\u2019t bad for an LCD, but it\u2019s totally outclassed by the iPhone XS and most newer phones.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"et_pb_section_3 et_pb_section et_section_regular et_block_section\"><div class=\"et_pb_row_10 et_pb_row et_block_row\" id=\"camera\"><div class=\"et_pb_column_18 et_pb_column et_pb_column_4_4 et-last-child et_block_column et_pb_css_mix_blend_mode_passthrough\"><div class=\"et_pb_text_18 et_pb_text et_pb_bg_layout_light et_pb_module et_block_module\"><div class=\"et_pb_text_inner\"><h2 style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>iPhone XR - camera and video performance<\/strong><\/h2>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"et_pb_row_11 et_pb_row et_block_row\"><div class=\"et_pb_column_19 et_pb_column et_pb_column_4_4 et-last-child et_block_column et_pb_css_mix_blend_mode_passthrough\"><div class=\"et_pb_text_19 et_pb_text et_pb_bg_layout_light et_pb_module et_block_module\"><div class=\"et_pb_text_inner\"><p>Apple usually fits less impressive cameras to its mainstream phones, and that\u2019s certainly the case with the iPhone XR. While the iPhone XS debuted a dual-camera, wide and extra-wide system, the iPhone XR has a single 12-megapixel (MP), wide-angle lens. It\u2019s missing useful features - particularly the Night Mode that was introduced with the iPhone 11 - but it does offer optical stabilisation, and 4k video at up to 60 frames per second.<\/p>\n<p>The iPhone XR and iPhone XS share the same 7MP front-facing camera, which was upgraded to 12MP on the iPhone 11. There\u2019s no Night Mode, slo-mo or 4k video support, but there\u2019s still a useful portrait mode, and 1080p HD video at up to 60fps.<\/p>\n<p>In use, the iPhone XR turns in decent rather than brilliant photos. It\u2019s noticeably worse than modern iPhones, particularly it doesn\u2019t have their almost magical ability to \u2018see\u2019 in near-darkness. With only digital zoom, it\u2019s harder to frame exactly the photo you want - zoom in to the maximum and you\u2019ll get a noisier, less sharp image.<\/p>\n<p>The latest smartphone cameras are comfortably better than the iPhone XR, but it\u2019s still not a bad camera. If you just want to snap family and friends, or grab smooth and sharp videos in decent light, it\u2019s more than up to the job.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"et_pb_section_4 et_pb_section et_section_regular et_block_section\"><div class=\"et_pb_row_12 et_pb_row et_block_row\" id=\"performance\"><div class=\"et_pb_column_20 et_pb_column et_pb_column_4_4 et-last-child et_block_column et_pb_css_mix_blend_mode_passthrough\"><div class=\"et_pb_text_20 et_pb_text et_pb_bg_layout_light et_pb_module et_block_module\"><div class=\"et_pb_text_inner\"><h2 style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>iPhone XR -

The iPhone XR managed a 1,123 single-core score - ahead of even high-end rivals like the Samsung Galaxy S21 5G, and nearly twice what we got from a Google Pixel 5.<\/p>\n<p>When it comes to 3D performance, though, this phone is being caught by the pack. We got a score of 1,433 on the 3DMark Wild Life Extreme benchmark. That\u2019s not at all bad, but plenty of high-end Android phones are now faster - and the iPhone 11 is about 50% ahead.<\/p>\n<p>At least, that\u2019s the picture when the iPhone XR is cool. Start running an intensive app and the phone quickly heats up to the point where the processor needs to throttle itself back to prevent overheating. You can see this in longer benchmarks. On the phone\u2019s final loop in Wild Life Extreme - after about 20 minutes\u2019 work - it scored only 951. That\u2019s a performance drop of about a third.<\/p>\n<p>This slow down is common to all iPhones we\u2019ve tested. While it means you won\u2019t get sustained maximum frame rates, in practice the iPhone XR still has plenty of performance for general use and casual gaming. But if you are after the very fastest frame rates, you\u2019ll need something newer.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"et_pb_section_5 et_pb_section et_section_regular et_block_section\"><div class=\"et_pb_row_14 et_pb_row et_block_row\" id=\"battery\"><div class=\"et_pb_column_23 et_pb_column et_pb_column_4_4 et-last-child et_block_column et_pb_css_mix_blend_mode_passthrough\"><div class=\"et_pb_text_26 et_pb_text et_pb_bg_layout_light et_pb_module et_block_module\"><div class=\"et_pb_text_inner\"><h2 style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>iPhone XR - battery performance<\/strong><\/h2>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"et_pb_row_15 et_pb_row et_pb_row_3-4_1-4 et_block_row et_block_row_3-4_1-4\"><div class=\"et_pb_column_24 et_pb_column et_pb_column_3_4 et_block_column et_pb_css_mix_blend_mode_passthrough\"><div class=\"et_pb_text_27 et_pb_text et_pb_bg_layout_light et_pb_module et_block_module\"><div class=\"et_pb_text_inner\"><p>While the iPhone XS is generally a much better phone than the iPhone XR, this phone goes a little longer on a charge. Apple says that when new, the iPhone XR would play video for 16 hours, while the iPhone XS would last only 14 hours. We got the iPhone XR to loop an HD video for just under 12 hours - the iPhone XS shut down after ten and a half.<\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s a victory for the iPhone XR, but neither phone got close to Apple\u2019s figures. We should also point out that the iPhone XR we tested reported 100% battery capacity, but our well-used iPhone XS checked in with only 84% of the battery capacity it had when new.<\/p>\n<p>Like other iPhones, the iPhone XR recovers quickly on a 20W charger. From empty it hit 50% in 26 minutes, 80% in 56 minutes, and was fully charged in an hour and 50 minutes. Wireless charging is slower, but the phone had no problems working with the Qi compatible dock in a modern car.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"et_pb_column_25 et_pb_column et_pb_column_1_4 et-last-child et_block_column et_pb_css_mix_blend_mode_passthrough\"><div class=\"et_pb_text_28 et_pb_text et_pb_bg_layout_light et_pb_module et_block_module\"><div class=\"et_pb_text_inner\"><p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\"><strong>Battery life<\/strong><strong> (movie playback)<\/strong>*<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><ul class=\"et_pb_counters_4 et_pb_counters et-waypoint et_pb_bg_layout_light et_pb_module et_block_module\"><li class=\"et_pb_counter_12 et_pb_counter\"><span class=\"et_pb_counter_title\">iPhone 13 Pro - Time = 19hr 2mins<\/span><span class=\"et_pb_counter_container\"><span class=\"et_pb_counter_amount\" data-width=\"100%\"><span class=\"et_pb_counter_amount_number\"><\/span><\/span><span class=\"et_pb_counter_amount overlay\" data-width=\"100%\"><span class=\"et_pb_counter_amount_number\"><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/li><li class=\"et_pb_counter_13 et_pb_counter\"><span class=\"et_pb_counter_title\">iPhone 11 - Time = 14hrs 45mins<\/span><span class=\"et_pb_counter_container\"><span class=\"et_pb_counter_amount\" data-width=\"77.6%\"><span class=\"et_pb_counter_amount_number\"><\/span><\/span><span class=\"et_pb_counter_amount overlay\" data-width=\"77.6%\"><span class=\"et_pb_counter_amount_number\"><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/li><li class=\"et_pb_counter_14 et_pb_counter\"><span class=\"et_pb_counter_title\">iPhone XR - Time = 11hrs 54mins<\/span><span class=\"et_pb_counter_container\"><span class=\"et_pb_counter_amount\" data-width=\"63.2%\"><span class=\"et_pb_counter_amount_number\"><\/span><\/span><span class=\"et_pb_counter_amount overlay\" data-width=\"63.2%\"><span class=\"et_pb_counter_amount_number\"><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/li><\/ul><div class=\"et_pb_text_29 et_pb_text et_pb_bg_layout_light et_pb_module et_block_module\"><div class=\"et_pb_text_inner\"><p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\"><strong>Charge Time (0-80%)<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><ul class=\"et_pb_counters_5 et_pb_counters et-waypoint et_pb_bg_layout_light et_pb_module et_block_module\"><li class=\"et_pb_counter_15 et_pb_counter\"><span class=\"et_pb_counter_title\">iPhone 13 Pro - Time = 53mins<\/span><span class=\"et_pb_counter_container\"><span class=\"et_pb_counter_amount\" data-width=\"100%\"><span class=\"et_pb_counter_amount_number\"><\/span><\/span><span class=\"et_pb_counter_amount overlay\" data-width=\"100%\"><span class=\"et_pb_counter_amount_number\"><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/li><li class=\"et_pb_counter_16 et_pb_counter\"><span class=\"et_pb_counter_title\">iPhone 11 - Time = 55mins<\/span><span class=\"et_pb_counter_container\"><span class=\"et_pb_counter_amount\" data-width=\"96.4%\"><span class=\"et_pb_counter_amount_number\"><\/span><\/span><span class=\"et_pb_counter_amount overlay\" data-width=\"96.4%\"><span class=\"et_pb_counter_amount_number\"><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/li><li class=\"et_pb_counter_17 et_pb_counter\"><span class=\"et_pb_counter_title\">iPhone XR - Time = 64mins<\/span><span class=\"et_pb_counter_container\"><span class=\"et_pb_counter_amount\" data-width=\"82.8%\"><span class=\"et_pb_counter_amount_number\"><\/span><\/span><span class=\"et_pb_counter_amount overlay\" data-width=\"82.8%\"><span class=\"et_pb_counter_amount_number\"><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/li><\/ul><div class=\"et_pb_text_30 et_pb_text et_pb_bg_layout_light et_pb_module et_block_module\"><div class=\"et_pb_text_inner\"><p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">*Battery life test involves looping the playback of an HD movie from fully charged until the phone shuts down.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"et_pb_section_6 et_pb_section et_section_regular et_block_section\"><div class=\"et_pb_row_16 et_pb_row et_block_row\" id=\"options\"><div class=\"et_pb_column_26 et_pb_column et_pb_column_4_4 et-last-child et_block_column et_pb_css_mix_blend_mode_passthrough\"><div class=\"et_pb_text_31 et_pb_text et_pb_bg_layout_light et_pb_module et_block_module\"><div class=\"et_pb_text_inner\"><h2 style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>iPhone XR - options and additional features<\/strong><\/h2>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"et_pb_row_17 et_pb_row et_block_row\"><div class=\"et_pb_column_27 et_pb_column et_pb_column_4_4 et-last-child et_block_column et_pb_css_mix_blend_mode_passthrough\"><div class=\"et_pb_text_32 et_pb_text et_pb_bg_layout_light et_pb_module et_block_module\"><div class=\"et_pb_text_inner\"><p style=\"font-weight:100;\">The iPhone XR offered a huge 18 combinations of colour and storage. Entry-level models got 64GB, but you could choose from 128GB or 256GB - the biggest capacity was discontinued with the launch of the iPhone 11 in September 2019. On top of the typical black, white and red colour options, Apple added eye-catching blue, yellow and coral.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight:100;\">For two years, the iPhone XR came with a power adaptor and EarPods, but in October 2020 these were removed as part of Apple\u2019s electronic waste initiative.

With few moving parts (only the camera\u2019s lens moves on a smartphone), there\u2019s little to go wrong, but like any phone it can be damaged by hard objects like keys, or by being dropped. Using a case and glass protector increases the chances of surviving without a scratch.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight:100;\">Phone batteries can only handle a certain number of charge\/discharge cycles, and on older iPhone XRs the battery capacity could be beginning to drop off. You can check by opening the Settings app, then choosing Battery>Battery Health. As we mentioned, our iPhone XR still reported - and acted like - it had 100% of its capacity when new. Most second-hand phones still have plenty of life in them.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"et_pb_section_8 et_pb_section et_section_regular et_block_section\"><div class=\"et_pb_row_21 et_pb_row et_block_row\" id=\"verdict\"><div class=\"et_pb_column_36 et_pb_column et_pb_column_4_4 et-last-child et_block_column et_pb_css_mix_blend_mode_passthrough\"><div class=\"et_pb_text_41 et_pb_text et_pb_bg_layout_light et_pb_module et_block_module\"><div class=\"et_pb_text_inner\"><h2 style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>iPhone XR - verdict<\/strong><\/h2>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"et_pb_row_22 et_pb_row et_block_row\"><div class=\"et_pb_column_37 et_pb_column et_pb_column_4_4 et-last-child et_block_column et_pb_css_mix_blend_mode_passthrough\"><div class=\"et_pb_text_42 et_pb_text et_pb_bg_layout_light et_pb_module et_block_module\"><div class=\"et_pb_text_inner\"><p style=\"font-weight: 100;\">The iPhone XR introduced Apple\u2019s new \u2018bezel-free\u2019 design to the mainstream iPhone.
