iPhone XR

There’s no denying that the Apple iPhone X was divisive when it first debuted, bringing notched screens into the real mainstream, but it’s also fair to say that that design went on to become a roaring success. We’ve picked its cheaper sibling, though, the iPhone XR, because of how many people opted for its slightly cheaper but equally premium chops.

With a range of poppy colours to pick from, the XR has become one those phones that you see absolutely everywhere, like the iPhone 11 after it, and is emblematic of the new wave of smartphones that are so popular right now.
