iPhone Xr may be more popular than the iPhone Xs series
Many analysts assume that the iPhone Xr will be more popular than the iPhone Xs series. This is not only due to the large price difference but also to the features. The colorful iPhone has many of the same functions as its more expensive siblings. The iPhone Xr has a 6.1" screen - this is not OLED but an almost frameless LCD with a notch. The frame of the inexpensive entry-level model is made of aluminum. This is said to be of aerospace quality - according to Apple. Since the back is made of glass, wireless charging is possible. Unlike the iPhone Xs series, it does not have a dual camera.
