The Apple iPhone XR: Different Display Leads to Brilliant Battery Life

The latest generation of iPhone, the XR has been out for a couple of months now. Apple decided to release this variant a month after the original XS models were released. Today, we finally get the chance to get our hands on the iPhone XR. Review some of the distinctive aspects of the iPhone XR – such as the LCD Replacement screen and the iPhone XR battery life. 

The iPhone XR is an exotic product of Apple. The XR release was apple’s aim to offer a smart, premium device at a lower-cost alternative to the higher-end XS flagships. 

The iPhone XR was not expected to get so much popular among people. Certainly, it became the most popular choice among apples current generation. 

Starting with the specifications, the iPhone XR has similar hardware to the XS. The A12 Bionic chip delivers outstanding performance and power efficiency. It also showcases incredible features. Especially the big leap in this generation was Apple’s new GPU. The new GPU engineered with the new 7nm process node and has made it possible to deliver impressive power efficiency. 

Talking about the internal hardware capabilities, the only thing it lacks is the fact that the iPhone XR comes with 1GB less DRAM than the 4GB XS variants. While using it generally you will not see this as an issue. 

One of the noticeable differences is on the cellular connectivity side. The iPhone XR supports the same cellular connectivity speed as the iPhone 8. This difference can actually be seen externally as the XR lacks the two new antenna segments that are enfolded in the XS variant. 

On the front is a major difference and the most obvious difference. On the iPhone XR, the display is replaced back with LCD Panel rather than the OLED display. People mainly argue why apple switches back to the low-resolution replacement LCD Display. 

In terms of size, the XR is in-between the smaller XS and the bigger XS Max. The overall size falls in the good middle ground. It means that you can easily use it with one hand. Swipe down for notifications and applications with ease. 

The overall design of the XR is one hand, it is simply the best thing that you are able to use the device with one hand. The symmetric bezel design gives much of a premium feel. Though the design is classy, it weighs 194g. It is very much heavier compared to other similar-sized phones. The brushed aluminum sides allow better grip and are much appreciated rather than the polished/glossy steel sides. But we still recommend you use a tempered glass protector and an iPhone XR case to protect your phone from accidental drops. 

Though the replacement LCD Display is hard to distinguish. Apple chooses this LCD display to keep the size of XR perfect. But this LCD Display makes the iPhone XR standout as the iPhone with the best battery life. Irrespective of the iOS version and the powerful bionic chip OLED displays in the previous and newer iPhones needed larger batteries to last for a longer time. Also, to produce perfect pixels the battery capacity should be larger. In the XR, the battery last much longer than any other iPhone because the LCD Display does not drain much battery.

As the pixels and brightness are not so bright compared to the OLED Display. The battery life of the XR manages to last longer anywhere between 2-4 more hours than the XS and XS Max. With such a battery life the iPhone XR appears to be the battery life champ. Though the battery life weakens with the passage of time. Even if you buy iPhone XR replacement parts now, you’ll probably not get 100% battery health as the XR has been discontinued officially. You don’t need to worry about that as the replacement battery for the iPhone XR is available at MK Mobiles.
