Is XR Budget Friendly
At the time of its debut, the XR was referred to as a “affordable flagship” or “budget flagship” because it had similar internal technology but had several features stripped or downgraded. The Apple A12 Bionic chip, manufactured using a 7 nanometer technology, is the same processor found in the XS and XS Max and is described by Apple as the “smartest and most powerful CPU” ever integrated into a smartphone. The 6.1-inch Liquid Retina LED-backlit LCD IPS panel display of the XR replaces the OLED screen in the XS and, according to Apple, is the “most sophisticated LCD in the industry.” Apple claims that the battery life of the XR is up to 1.5 hours greater than that of the iPhone 8 Plus, which was directly before it.
