The metal black has replaced the steel that was seen in iPhone XS and still looks premium. The device has glass on the front and uses the same material as iPhone XS.

The notch contains important elements such as the Face ID camera, front camera, and other sensors. Overall screen quality is excellent as the 6.1-inch screen performs an excellent job in giving out punchy colors and sharp lines.

CAMERA

The camera is one of the main things that most users look out for in the iPhone. As far as they are concerned, the Apple iPhone XR on the rear packs a 12-megapixel camera with an f/1.8 aperture. The rear camera setup has autofocus. On the other hand, the phone hosts a 7-megapixel camera on the front for selfies with an f/2.2 aperture.

Apple iPhone XR has a single camera which is contrary to the dual camera set up of the iPhone XS models. It features a 12Mp 1/2.55″ sensor with optical image stabilization, dual-tone flash, and phase-detection autofocus. Whereas the iPhone XS and iPhone XS Max relied on machine learning in form of Smart HDR for great images, Apple iPhone XR raises the bar. Similar to Google Pixel 3, it uses machine learning so as to incorporate Portrait mode for the rear camera.

Despite having a single rear camera, the iPhone XR does a good job when it comes to edge detection and the Bokeh effect in portrait mode. The absence of a telephoto lens with 2X zoom will however have users moving closer to the subject of shots. Featured portrait lighting modes that will be found are Contour, Natural, and Studio. Worth noting is that the portrait mode on this device works best with humans rather than objects and animals.

Aside from the missing 2x telephoto lens, the performance of the iPhone XR’s camera is similar to that of the iPhone XS and iPhone XS Max. Besides the different camera hardware, Apple iPhone XR still has innovative features as those of the XS models.  While shooting still photos, the camera will continuously capture multi-frame buffer in different exposures. This allows simultaneous HDR processing and zeroes shutter lag. You will finally get exactly what you see.

Target exposures are good in both indoor and outdoor conditions. The automatic HDR mode further ensures that the smartphone captures a wide dynamic range in high contrast scenes. The noise-versus-texture compromise is similar to that of the XS Max. It ensures good fine detail and edge preservation in both indoor and outdoor shots.
