iPhone XR long-term review: Still the best iPhone for most people

India Today  

Six months ago, I reviewed the iPhone XR and called it Apple's best iPhone for most people. My iPhone XR review unit was in black, and after six months of using the device, placing it in my pocket alongside some keys, the frame still looks good, with no visible scratches or chipping. You don't miss the secondary telephoto lens that the iPhone XS offers, because the iPhone XR's Smart HDR computational photography is mostly terrific, capturing some of the most natural bokehs possible on a smartphone. In my initial review, I said that the iPhone XR was the best iPhone for most people right, and my thoughts about it haven't changed six months later.
