Buy Apple iPhone XR in Australia

Despite the iPhone being recognized as one of the most premium handsets available, Apple soon discovered that not everyone needed the top specifications. Hence it would release the iPhone XR in 2018 alongside the more expensive XS and XS Max.

Apple iPhone XR was one of the least expensive refurbished iPhones in the Apple flagship lineup with a basic single camera system. Apple compared the "R" with rally or race cars because of their endurance and the XR lives up to its name as its battery easily outlasts the other iPhone models.

It would be easy to assume that a phone with lowers specs may not be a hit with the general public, but nothing could be far from the truth. Not only was Apple able to win over customers that may have been dissuaded by price before, but It also became one of the bestselling devices in the third quarter of 2019. As well as being a more affordable handset for the masses in the west, the cheap iPhone XR found a solid customer base in countries such as Australia. In 2024, its upgradeable to the latest iOS and can seamlessly pair with apple watch, apple airpods and with all the iPad models.

iPhone XR Specifications

The aesthetics of the handset are like that of the iPhone X, iPhone XS & XS Max, albeit with some differences discussed below.

Refurbished iPhone XR Colours

iPhone XR was released in a series of wild and vibrant colors:

• Black
• White
• Blue
• Yellow
• Product Red
• Coral

Refurbished iPhone XR Storage

As with other iphones, iPhone XR also comes in various storage capacities. iPhone XR was released in three different storages

• 64GB
• 128 GB
• 256 GB

As expected, the larger the capacity of the iphone, the higher the price will be. Those who are only using their smartphone casually should find that 64GB is more than enough storage. However, those looking for a handset that can store personal videos and music will probably need more storage via iCloud or perhaps transfer existing data to an Apple iPad or Macbook using airdrop.

iPhone XR Display

Regardless of the colour of the handset, all variants come with a liquid retina lcd display with thick borders and a notch. Although the 3D Touch has been removed, this has been replaced by Haptic Touch, which requires the user to long press on the screen until feedback is felt. The screen is a 6.1-inch Liquid Retina variant as opposed to the OLED screens seen on other iterations, which delivers a resolution of 1792 x 828.

Refurbished iPhone XR Processor

The Apple iPhone XR is powered by the a12 bionic chip.

iPhone XR Camera

Despite the lower price, users can still take impressive photographs thanks to a 12MP rear camera and take effortless selfies with the 7MP front-facing camera. However, those that are used to the optical zoom feature need to be aware that it is omitted from the XR due to it only containing a single camera.

Refurbished iPhone XR Battery

Another feature that found popularity with users was the 2942 mAh battery which offers up to 16 hours of talk time, impressive given the lower price tag of the device.

Although the XR does have limited specifications when compared to iPhone XS, this does not make it a mid-range device, as the changes made still offer a premium experience with wireless charging that makes this model a worthwhile consideration.

Why Consider Refurbished iPhone XR in 2024?

When purchasing a second hand iPhone XR, many can be sideswiped by a series of impressive specifications. With a ton of features that are rarely used in a smartphone these days, you need to stick to your budget and do not overthink your purchase decision, as long as you have done adequate research and consulted friends and family.

Despite some of the downgrades made, the subtle differences do not affect the overall Apple experience which is impressive enough for the low price compared to some other flagship phones made by competitors like the samsung galaxy series (galaxy s9 and galaxy s10).
