![]() ![]() That may not surprise those who believe that price is the primary driving factor for that success. And I’m not the only one who has figured this out: The iPhone XR has been the best-selling iPhone since it launched, and that includes both new iPhones-meaning the models that Apple launched late last year–as well as the cheaper, older iPhones that it still continues to sell as well. The iPhone XR, despite these apparent deficiencies, still emerges as the best new iPhone. And yes, it’s made of aluminum where XS and XS Max deliver a more premium stainless steel to the Grey Poupon crowd. Yes, it features only a single rear camera instead of those iPhones’ more impressive dual camera systems. You’ll find examples of these on both iPhones - there’s the AR-enabling ARKit 2.Yes, it lacks the superior and higher-resolution OLED display found in the much more expensive iPhone XS and XS Max. Special features Julian Chokkattu/Digital TrendsĪpple’s never gone in for the Samsung approach of cramming as many special features as possible, and it means features only really come to iPhone when they’re polished and ready. As such, don’t let that factor be a major element when deciding between the two iPhones - they’ll be running the same version of iOS for a long time in the future. But with Apple’s extremely strong update record, it’ll be some time before the iPhone XR receives its final version of iOS. As with the older phone, the iPhone XR will receive fewer major OS updates than the iPhone 11. No surprises here - both the iPhone 11 and iPhone XR run Apple’s latest-and-greatest mobile operating system, iOS 15. Software and updates Julian Chokkattu/Digital Trends There’s no doubt in our minds the iPhone 11 takes this category easily. The addition of a 12MP selfie camera with slow-motion selfies (slofies) is just overkill. The iPhone 11 takes everything that made the iPhone XR’s camera great and adds even more. It’s that ultra-wide-angle lens that makes the most difference, offering a 120-degree field of view that enables you to pack much more into your shots. The iPhone 11 is equipped with a dual-lens system, comprising a 12MP wide-angle lens paired with a 12MP, ultra-wide-angle lens. The iPhone 11 builds on that foundation, adding a second lens to Apple’s cheaper range. While it was the only 2018 iPhone to release with just a single camera lens on the rear, the iPhone XR’s single 12-megapixel lens still delivers some excellent-looking snaps and has a great portrait mode. There’s no way we can rule one way or the other here. Neither can nail the deep blacks and vibrant colors that the iPhone 11 Pro’s AMOLED display is capable of, but there’s no obvious difference between the screens on the iPhone 11 and XR. It’s a good display, but look close enough and you’ll see pixels. ![]() The iPhone 11 is rocking the same 6.1-inch Liquid Retina (LCD) display as the iPhone XR, including the same 1792 x 828 resolution with a pixels-per-inch measurement of 326. Like the design, all is the same where the displays are concerned. That means it can be submerged in up to 2 meters of water for 30 minutes without damage whereas the iPhone XR can only handle depths of 1 meter. Physical durability across the two iPhones is similar, with aluminum and glass builds, so getting a case is the best way to avoid potentially costly repairs, but the iPhone 11 has improved water resistance, sporting an IP68-rating that’s superior to the iPhone XR’s IP67-rating. Thankfully, there’s more to it than just looks. Dimensions, weight, build materials - it’s all pretty much the same, and it makes this category a tough one to judge. Pretty much the only major difference is the addition of the extra camera lens on the iPhone 11, and a selection of different colors. You’d be forgiven for being unable to tell the iPhone XR and 11 apart. ![]() That said, the XR still has enough power to satisfy most people’s needs, and both these iPhones can still run the latest games and apps with ease. It’s fast and powerful in fact, it’s up to 20% faster and 40% more power-efficient than the Apple A12 Bionic chip in the iPhone XR. The iPhone 11 comes equipped with Apple’s still-strong A13 Bionic processor.
