Last Friday Apple launched pre-orders for the September release iPhone The XR, which should fill the role of a cheaper iPhone “for the masses.” The official launch is tomorrow morning, but you can already read our first impressions, which will precede the full review, which will arrive sometime next week. We managed to get one iPhone Grab the XR before the official launch, fresh first impressions can be found below.

We have 128 GB available. variantu iPhone XR in the color "Coral Red". Let's start with the packaging, which is not much different from other models. In addition to the iPhone, we also find a basic 5W charger, cable, EarPods and instructions with stickers. We have to say goodbye to Lightning – 3,5 mm adapter, which Apple this year it stopped being bundled with all iPhones sold. But let's look at the most important thing, which is iPhone himself.

The first thing that strikes the user after unpacking is the color. Unless you choose one of the more traditional colors variant, in the box you will find either the Coral Red we tested or a darker one (PRODUCT) RED red, or blue or yellow. The new color shades are underlined by the phone's colored aluminum frame, which, compared to the steel used on the XS and XS models, Max It brings out the bright hue of the rest of the iPhone much better. In this regard, the type of material used is a big plus, although in terms of durability it will be more of a step back. New colors variaHowever, the iPhones will be one of the main draws, and although I'm not a big fan of this particular color, I have to admit that all of them variaThe cases look really good. The aluminum frame is really nice in this case and suits the iPhones.

Another thing that immediately catches your eye after unpacking is the phone's display. It's 6,1″ Liquid Retina display, which is unlike the iPhone XS and XS Max made with LED technology. This (in addition to the color rendering) was also reflected in the size of the frames. The size of the frames was a big unknown before the release and many users were afraid that they would be too large and would harm the overall appearance. Yes, the frames are larger than on the iPhone XS (comparison with the black iPhonem XS can be found in the gallery), but without a direct comparison, it won't bother you too much and you won't notice it anymore within a few hours. The display logically doesn't have as vivid colors as OLED panels, but in terms of LCD displays, it will really be the top of what is offered on the market. However, evaluating the panel and its color rendering is a subjective matter, but personally I don't have the slightest problem with it.

The big surprise is the ergonomics of the phone, especially considering its size. iPhone XR is larger than iPhone X(S), but also slightly smaller than XS MaxThe difference in size compared to the 5,8″ iPhone XS is not significant and if you don't mind the size, you definitely won't have any problems with the XR model (women with smaller hands may see it differently, however). The phone fits perfectly in the hand, the aluminum frame offers a much better grip than the steel one. iPhone The XR is also slightly heavier than the XS, although I felt the opposite. The entire construction feels very solid and the workmanship is top-notch – exactly as we have seen with the AppAs for the glass back, you can tell by touch that it is a slightly different material (in practice, it should not be as durable as the backs of the iPhone XS and XS Max). Max). However, without a direct comparison, you won't notice the differences.

The camera lens is just as prominent as in the dual-lens solution of its more expensive siblings, and the flash is also the same, located below it. What is different here, on the other hand, is the symmetrical bottom edge of the phone, behind which iPhone The XR owes its name to its aluminum frame. Thanks to it, it was able to Apple to keep the solution of the antenna strips and the bottom side of the phone thus remained nicely symmetrical. All controls are then the same as in the case of more expensive iPhones.

Overall iPhone The XR feels very nice. Personally, I don't have a problem with the slightly larger size, and the lower weight definitely adds some positive points. A more detailed analysis of how the new "cheaper" iPhonem live you will be able to read from the planned review, which will be worked on diligently from tomorrow. At first glance, however, the novelty looks good and the responses from abroad agree with this assessment even in the long term. We will see how enthusiastic we will be about the iPhone XR.
