“IPhone XR allows us to cater to even more users by offering the latest iPhone innovations. It incorporates cutting-edge technologies, including the 6.1 ″ Liquid Retina display that stretches from corner to corner of the phone, the latest TrueDepth camera with even faster Face ID authentication, the new A12 Bionic 7 chip nanometers with second-generation Neural Engine and a 12-megapixel camera for Portrait mode photos with lighting effects, ”said Philip Schiller, Apple’s Worldwide Marketing Senior Vice President. “The new iPhone XR has a spectacular glass and aerospace aluminum shell with IP67-rated liquid and dust resistance and an all-day battery, and is available in six beautiful colors.

• Revolutionary new design

Thanks to the spectacular all-screen design, the display of the iPhone XR extends from one end of the phone to the other. The front glass is the strongest ever seen on a smartphone and is elegantly paired with an anodized profile made of sturdy 7000 series space aluminum, while the rear glass allows for wireless charging.

iPhone XR is available in six new colors: white, black, blue, yellow, coral and (PRODUCT) RED. The seven-layer paint gives the rear glass precise shades, while the aluminum profile and the camera profile are the same color, to add a touch of refinement. The new design is splash and water resistant with an IP67 rating, and is impervious to common splashes of coffee, tea and sodas.

Part of the proceeds from the sale of the iPhone XR PRODUCT (RED) will be donated directly to the Global Fund for the fight against HIV / AIDS to finance consulting, diagnosis and treatment services, as well as prevention programs and particularly aimed at eradicating the transmission of the virus from mother to son.

• The most advanced LCD ever seen on a smartphone

The beautiful 6.1 ”Liquid Retina display guarantees the best color accuracy in the industry, and supports a wide color gamut and True Tone for more natural colors. The precision-engineered glass, advanced pixel masking and sub-pixel anti-aliasing allow the display to follow the curves of the device, while the new design of the backlight system allows the display to reach corners.

Phone XR supports fast and fluid iPhone gestures, for example just a tap to wake the device and you can swipe up to access the Home screen or down to bring up notifications and the Control Center. The new touch function allows you to press on the Home screen to instantly activate the camera or flash.

• A12 Bionic chip and new generation Neural Engine

Designed by Apple, the A12 Bionic is the smartest and most powerful 7-nanometer chip ever in a smartphone, delivering industry-leading performance in an even more fuel-efficient design. The A12 Bionic chip has a six-core Fusion architecture with two high-performance cores that are up to 15% faster, four high-efficiency cores that are up to 50% more efficient, a four-core GPU that is up to 50% faster, a powerful Apple-designed Image Signal Processor (ISP), video encoder, and more. Thanks to all this, playing games, taking photos, editing videos and using pp apps that make intensive use of the graphics processor will be even more sensational, without compromising on battery: iPhone XR has up to an hour and a half of autonomy. more than iPhone 8 Plus.

The next-generation Neural Engine uses an advanced machine learning model for everything from photography to augmented reality. Thanks to the new eight-core design, it can complete up to 50 trillion operations per second compared to the 600 billion of the A11 Bionic chip, speeding up plane detection operations for ARKit and enabling new functions that use real-time machine learning. For the first time, the Neural Engine integrates the Core ML framework, allowing developers to build apps that use this highly efficient machine learning engine. The Core ML on the Neural Engine of the A12 Bionic chip is up to nine times faster than on the A11 Bionic chip, consuming only a tenth of the power.

• Face ID, the most secure facial authentication system ever on a smartphone

Face ID on iPhone XR is faster, thanks to software optimizations and a snappier secure enclave. The TrueDepth system uses depth-sensing technology that offers far superior functionality and security than two-dimensional face scanners for unlocking iPhones, using Apple Pay, securely accessing apps, and many more with just a glance.

• Advanced single lens wide angle camera

iPhone XR has a 12 megapixel camera with wide-angle lens, f / 1.8 aperture and a brand new sensor that guarantees faster focusing, while wider and deeper pixels improve image fidelity and low-light rendering in photos. and in the videos. Enhancements to the ISP processor, Neural Engine and software algorithms allow for portraits with beautiful bokeh. Smart HDR technology further defines the effects of light and shadow in photos.

Thanks to the new Depth Control, users can adjust the depth of field during and after shooting to create stunning portraits with beautiful bokeh. Selfies will be even more beautiful thanks to the improved Portrait mode for the TrueDepth front camera and the Portrait Lighting mode that allows you to play with light like in a real photo studio.
Wireless technologies

iPhone XR uses LTE Advanced technology that guarantees high download speeds, and introduces Dual SIM through the use of a nano SIM and a digital eSIM.

• With iOS 12

iPhone XR includes iOS 12, the world’s most advanced mobile operating system. iOS 12 changes the way iOS users see the world thanks to augmented reality. Help rediscover and share photos, and make communications even more expressive and fun with new Animoji and Memoji. Screen Time helps users control and manage the time they spend using their iOS devices, while Siri shortcuts allow any app to work with Siri. In addition, new privacy features help protect against web attacks.
