iPhone XR is Apple’s Exciting New Standard

As we learned from the iPhone X, the transition from a physical button to Face ID isn’t as daunting as it first seems. Sure, there’s a learning curve, but as countless iPhone X users discovered, navigation gestures can be far more intuitive than pressing a mechanical button.

Apple has every reason to put its faith in the iPhone XR as the new standard after receiving near-universal praise for last year’s iPhone X. As the company said at this week’s event, the iPhone X has become its most popular smartphone, with a satisfaction rating of 98-percent.

The iPhone XR will help make this technology feel normal among mainstream audiences. Going forward, when owners of the iPhone 8 and earlier walk into an Apple store, they’ll have an entirely new experience when they consider upgrading. They’ll see a future where the home button doesn’t exist and screens are edge-to-edge.

It’s more congruent with Apple’s insistence on killing ports and buttons compared to last year when Apple released the iPhone 8, which recycled a design that was several years old.

Then comes the price. Even with Face ID, an A12 Bionic chip, and support for wireless charging, the iPhone XR starts at $749, making it a more affordable option compared to the iPhone XS and iPhone XS Max.
