DCON Review of the iPhone XR...4 Months Later. The XR is Apple's "cheaper" iPhone as it starts at $749 and is 25% cheaper than the XS. It comes with a 6.1" lcd liquid retina display, an A12 6-core processor, a fantastic front and rear camera and excellent battery life. While the LCD display isn't as nice as other OLED offerings, it will satisfy most users. Overall the iPhone XR represents a nice value and gives you a flagship feel without the hefty $1000+ flagship price (which is absurd to even type).
