Apple’s surprising iPhone XR is the affordable premium iPhone we’ve always wanted

“Straight up, I’m probably going to buy an iPhone XS Max when it comes out (and yes, even with my reservations about that tone-deaf name),” Leif Johnson writes for Macworld.

“But I can’t deny that for several minutes yesterday, I was seriously entranced by the call of the new iPhone XR. It’s packed with the same chip as the iPhone XS,” Johnson writes. “It comes with almost all of the same internal features.
