Colourful, robust, and surprisingly powerful. For years, the iPhone XR was the best-selling smartphone in the world, and for good reason. With its legendary battery life, large screen, and cheerful colours, this is the perfect choice for anyone looking for a reliable iPhone at an absolute bargain price.
The ideal first iPhone
The iPhone XR is made of strong aluminium and glass. It feels solid and can withstand a knock. Although it no longer has the fastest chip, it is still perfect for WhatsApp, social media, video calls, and simple games.

LCD vs OLED: Why XR?
The iPhone XR has an LCD screen, while newer iPhones (from the 12 onwards) have OLED. Is that a problem? No, not for many people. An LCD screen cannot suffer from burn-in and is cheaper to repair if it breaks. That makes the XR a very safe choice for younger users. You get the full Apple experience, including FaceID and the App Store, for the price of a budget Android.
