Apple iPhone XIR

The iPhone XIR borrows quite a few design cues from its predecessor, the iPhone XR. You get a 6.1-inch LCD screen which Apple calls its Liquid Retina Display. This screen manages to offer a resolution of 828x1792pixels and features True Tone and Wide Color Gamut. The phone adopts a glass build that sandwiches an aluminum frame. It retains its IP67 water and dust resistance rating. The notch at the top of the display is about the same size as it was on its predecessor.

Performance gets a noticeable bump this time around with the hexa-core A13 Bionic chipset that is built on TSMC’s 7nm+ process. RAM also gets upgraded on the base variant of this phone up to 4GB. Storage remains at 64GB without the option to add a microSD card. You can choose higher storage models up to 256GB.

We finally get a dual camera setup at the back of the iPhone XIR. This is similar to what we have seen with last year’s iPhone XS. There are two 12MP cameras at the back, where the first take regular shots and the second can be used for wide-angle photos. This camera setup is aided by a quad-LED dual-tone flash for low-light photography. Other notable features include portrait mode, Smart HDR, and panorama. You can record videos at 4K resolution with up to 60fps using this setup. The front of the phone gets a similar 12MP camera for higher resolution selfies.

The battery on the iPhone XIR measures 2942mAh. While this is smaller than the average Android, the overall system optimization ensures you get an extraordinary life out of your handset. The phone also features faster wireless charging this time around for added convenience. Connectivity option on this phone include 5G, Bluetooth 5.0, GPS, Wi-Fi 802.11 a/b/g/n/ac/ax, NFC, and a Lightning port.
