With the iPhone XR, Apple has created an iPhone that delivers 95 percent of the high-end iPhone XS experience at 75 percent of the cost. Yes, there are compromises: The screen and the camera take small steps back from the XS models, along with a few other feature nips and tucks. Using the XR after living with the XS, the only feature I truly missed was the rear camera's telephoto lens. The iPhone XS, XR and XS Max (left to right). Can you spot the differences?. But the iPhone XR actually makes a few improvements on its more expensive siblings. Its screen is bigger than the XS' (6.1 versus 5.8 inches), it comes in a wider array of fun colors and -- significantly -- it has the best battery life of any current iPhone you can buy.

I still wish Apple had introduced an even less expensive phone, At $749 (£749, AU$1,229) to start, no one pursuit series case for apple iphone xr - black would call this phone cheap -- that's how much the top-end iPhone 6 Plus cost back in 2014 -- but the XR still costs considerably less than the $999-and-up iPhone XS, That said, go for the $799 128GB version, Apple finally included a middle storage tier, instead of jumping straight from the $749 64GB (fine, but not quite enough) to the $899 256GB (more than most people need, unless they shoot a ton of video), You won't be able to upgrade your storage later, so the extra $50 will pay off..

Apple put the same camera sensor and almost all the same lenses on the iPhone XR as it did on the XS and XS Max. The front-facing TrueDepth camera is the same: I took great-looking portrait photos, did weird Memoji head things using Apple's emoji tools, and it's all better than what the iPhone 8 (£594 at Amazon.co.uk) can do. The rear single camera is wide-angle, the same as the XS' wide-angle lens. Smart HDR shots and everyday photos look the same. Our recent iPhone XS camera comparison to the Pixel 3 shows where Smart HDR succeeds, and where it still isn't as good in low light as what the Pixel 3 can do.

The real difference is that this phone doesn't have the rear telephoto lens, That impacts photos two ways: no 2x optical zoom or extra levels of digital zoom; and no telephoto-enhanced Portrait-mode photos, The XR can take Portrait photos, too, but the results are different, Not having 2x optical zoom bothered me more than I thought it would, I rely on that 2x for framing close-up shots, I found, It also makes a difference for zooming in on far-off objects, My 5x zoom on the Flatiron building looked far crisper with the XS pursuit series case for apple iphone xr - black than it did with the XR's purely digital zoom..

That's not to say that Portrait mode is missing from the XR altogether. Apple has taken a page from Google's book and delivered portrait mode effects with a single lens via software. The effects really do work, but they're different than how the XS takes its portraits. The wide-angle portrait mode's simulated bokeh blur is more subtle than with the iPhone X and XS. The photos also look farther away from the subject, requiring you to get closer, as there's no digital zoom in Portrait mode. For example, in the shots above, I photographed my colleague Marrian Zhou from the same distance, but she appears "farther" away in the XR shot. Below, I got closer with the XR to compensate for the focal length difference.

Faces end up looking a little more distorted than the better composed, more flattering telephoto pursuit series case for apple iphone xr - black Portrait mode on the X and XS, although faces on XR shots can sometimes look more detailed in low light than the telephoto versions, While the effects can be a little more subtle than on the iPhone XS, I've never had them fail when taking a photo of a person, And, once I got the hang of its limitations, it ended up producing some really nice results, Portrait Mode, when it first debuted in beta on the iPhone 7 Plus, seemed a bit artificial at times, A year later, it's producing much better results with just a single lens..

The iPhone XR lets you adjust the bokeh effect and a few other portrait-lighting effects afterward, just like on the iPhone X and XS. The image above shows before and after the bokeh effect is added. (You can see where the strands of flyaway hair get blurred into the background.) A future software update will allow previews of the depth effect before shooting. There's no Stage Light or Stage Light Mono modes on this camera, however. And.. the iPhone XR's portrait mode effects only work on people.

Apple's AI demands the presence of a person, If it doesn't "see" a person, it won't engage portrait mode at all, I tried with people, mannequins, photos, pursuit series case for apple iphone xr - black people-like sculptures, animals and things like fruit and flowers, Occasionally, the camera's portrait mode was tricked by a wig-wearing mannequin head or a sculpture of a face, or a wall poster that featured actors' faces, adding a bokeh blur effect, I couldn't get it to recognize adorable dogs at a dog park, though, while the Pixel 3 did just fine..
