iPhone XR: The reviews are in
Reviewers around the world have put iPhone XR through its paces and are sharing their impressions of the newest member of the iPhone family.

Here are some of the reviewers’ reactions:

“Even though the [iPhone] XR is Apple’s mid-range iPhone, the feel is very much that of a piece of nicely crafted jewellery. It’s weighty, with a gorgeous 7-layer colour process laminating the back of the rear glass, giving it a depth and sparkle that’s just unmatched in consumer electronics.”
