Pros
Our editorial view of this model’s strengths and limitations.
A straightforward touchscreen
The Apple iPhone XR has a 6.1-inch screen that gives menus, short messages and photos a clear place on the front of the phone. Touch controls keep everyday actions direct.
4K video recording
The camera can record 4K video. That gives you more detail for a larger screen and some room for cropping during editing, though the files take up more storage.
Charging without plugging in
Wireless charging lets you place the phone on a compatible pad. It is convenient on a desk or bedside table when you would rather not reconnect a cable each time.
