iPhone XR, 6.1″, 128 GB ROM + 3 GB RAM, 4G

iPhone XR introduced the first unique design to the iPhone family. With a unique warerdrop notch, the iPhone XR was the first iPhone to have a screen to body ratio of 84.4%. In addition, it is made with the most durable glass ever in a smartphone in three new finishes. These are space grey, silver and gold. The glass finish is made using a seven-layer colour process for precise hue and opacity. Hence it delivers a rich depth of colour with a colour-matched aerospace-grade aluminium bezel, and is water and dust resistant.

The 6.1-inch Retina FHD+ displays with the addition of True Tone adjust the white balance of the display to match the surrounding light for a more natural, paper-like viewing experience. The vibrant wide colour gamut Retina FHD+ display offers the best colour accuracy in the industry.

Redesigned stereo speakers are up to 25 per cent louder. In addition, they deliver deeper bass, enabling richer-sounding music, videos and speakerphone calls.

A12 Bionic, the most powerful and smartest chip ever in a smartphone. It features a six-core CPU design with two performance cores that are 25 per cent faster and four efficiency cores that are 70 per cent faster than the A11 Fusion,. Hence it offers industry-leading performance and energy efficiency. A new, second-generation performance controller can harness all six cores simultaneously. This delivers up to 70 per cent greater performance for multi-threaded workloads. As a result you have more power while providing the same great battery life. A12 Bionic also integrates an Apple-designed GPU with a three-core design that delivers up to 30 per cent faster graphics performance than the previous generation. All this power enables incredible new machine learning, AR apps and immersive 3D games.

The cameras on iPhone x are custom tuned for the ultimate AR experience. Each camera is individually calibrated, with new gyroscopes and accelerometers for accurate motion tracking. AR benefits from A12 Bionic, which handles world tracking, scene recognition and incredible graphics at 60fps.  While the image signal processor does real-time lighting estimation. With ARKit, iOS developers are taking advantage of the world’s largest AR platform. This creates games and apps offering fantastically immersive and fluid experiences that go far beyond the screen.

It features an improved 12-megapixel camera with a larger and faster sensor, a new colour filter and deeper pixels. A new Apple-designed image signal processor delivers advanced pixel processing, wide colour capture, faster autofocus in low light and better HDR photos, while a new quad LED True Tone Flash with Slow Sync results in more uniformly lit backgrounds and foregrounds. All this adds up to outstanding photos with vibrant, realistic colors and more detail.

The new camera also delivers the highest quality video capture ever in a smartphone with better video stabilisation, 4K video up to 60fps and 1080p slo-mo up to 240fps. The Apple-designed video encoder provides real-time image and motion analysis for optimal quality video. With iOS 11, both iPhone X support HEIF and HEVC for up to two times compression and storage for twice the photos and videos.

iPhone XR features dual 12-megapixel cameras and introduces Portrait mode with Portrait Lighting, bringing dramatic studio lighting effects to iPhone, allowing customers to capture stunning portraits with a shallow depth-of-field effect in five different lighting styles. Portrait Lighting is based on extensive research into the art and science of portraiture and core photographic lighting principles. It uses the dual cameras and the Apple-designed image signal processor to recognise the scene, create a depth map and separate the subject from the background. Machine learning is then used to create facial landmarks and add lighting over contours of the face, all happening in real time, giving customers even more power to express themselves through photography.

The glass back design enables a world-class wireless charging solution. Wireless charging works with the established Qi ecosystem, including two new wireless charging mats from Belkin and mophie. Apple gave a sneak peek of AirPower, an Apple-designed wireless charging accessory coming in 2018, which offers a generous active charging area that will allow iPhone X customers to simultaneously charge up to three devices, including Apple Watch Series 3 and a new optional wireless charging case for AirPods.
