More about iPhone XR Insurance

The iPhone XR is one of the most talked about Apple handsets in recent years. For those who baulked at the price-tags on the iPhone XS and XS Max, the new lower-cost model provides a happy medium.

In fact, the latest handset includes many of the standout features of the more expensive models - so some say you’re getting even more bang for your buck with the XR. It uses the same ultra-fast A12 chipset as the XS and despite a few compromises with the screen, camera and the level of water/dust resistance, the user experience is still breathtaking.

The battery life on the XR is very impressive considering the immense processing power and for people who love to blast out their tunes, the external speakers are 25% louder than previous models. Rock on!

The aesthetics are very similar to the XS too - though the XR has a slightly thicker bezel and is around 10% heavier. You can also select from a wider range of handset colours including white, black, blue, yellow, coral and red.

Of course, despite this being the lowest cost iPhone released this Autumn, the starting price is a whopping £749, so it’s still a significant investment. Make sure yours is covered, should the worst happen, with insurance from Protect Your Bubble.
