Got any questions about the iPhone XR? We’ve got the answers for you

An iPhone XR costs between R6099.00 - R8490.00 with a 12-month warranty on Phonetradr.

From top to bottom, it is 15.09 cm x 7.57 cm x 0.83 cm.

You can get it in white, black, blue, yellow, red, and coral.

The iPhone XR is protected with Corning Gorilla Glass 6, the strongest display protector in smartphones today.

The iPhone XR has a rating of “IP67” which means it is not fully protected from dust and can handle being under freshwater for up to 30 minutes at a depth of 1 metre and no more. If your phone gets dropped in a puddle, a shallow pool, or wet from the rain, it will be just fine. Steam from your bathroom shower, however, is not included in this rating, so rather keep it away from steam.

The iPhone XR has the A12 Bionic processor. The chip has six cores - four for high efficiency and two for high performance. This promises speed and efficiency that’s 2x faster than the A11 chip and up to 50% lower in battery drainage. The chip’s graphics processing is also an improvement from the A11 with four cores and 50% faster graphics processing.

You can get the iPhone XR with 64GB, 128GB and 256GB of space. For a better picture on how much 256GB is, it equates to an average amount of 73,224 photos.  For the 64GB model, that’s approximately 15,000 photos!

The phone comes with 3G of RAM.

It has a 12-megapixel dual camera at the back and a 7-megapixel selfie camera at the front. The dual camera means you get more range in your photos!

Open your Camera app, then select ‘Portrait” on the right side. Your lighting options will appear on your screen such as Natural Light, Studio, Contour and Stage Light. After selecting your lighting, hold up your phone and focus on the person you’d like to photograph.

When taking a photo, there is a 2x zoom option on the screen. Taping this will give you 2X optical zoom. If you hold the 2x button, it will expand to give you further digital zoom options. In other words, anytime you use zoom up to 2x, it will automatically be optical zoom.

You can easily record a demonstration of something from your phone using the built-in  screen recorder. - Make sure your phone is updated to iOS 12 - Go to your Settings, then select Control Centre. Tap into ‘Customise Controls’ then add “Screen Recording” to the list - Exit your settings and then head to your homescreen. Swipe up the Control Centre and select the little white circle in the square icon. This is the Screen Recording icon. - The recorder will count down from 3 and then whatever actions you take on your iPhone will be recorded. - Once you’re done, tap the red recording timer at the top of your screen to stop the recording. You can find your recording in your camera roll and edit it just like a standard video such as trimming the start and end of it. Or, you can edit it in iMovie which comes free with your iPhone.
