The iPhone XR launched last year as a cheaper version of the iPhone XS and iPhone XS Max. While it did skip on some features of its more expensive siblings such as using an LCD panel instead of OLED and having a single rear camera instead of two, the iPhone XR uses the same A12 Bionic processor as they do. The phone has been a success and Apple will be following it up with a successor this year. Renders of that successor, currently referred to as the iPhone XR 2019 have been posted online and they reveal what is to come later this year.
The 3D renders are from veteran leaker @OnLeaks and this time he has partnered with India’s Pricebaba. The renders show that Apple will once again be going with bright colors for the iPhone XR 2019 as they show the phone in blue, yellow, and red. There is also a white variant.
Nothing seems to have changed with respect to the front of the phone. It is still a 6.1-inch display and it has a wide notch at the top. Button placements have also not changed. However, when you flip the phone to the back, things get more interesting.
For this year’s model, Apple is adding an extra camera to the iPhone XR. It is still one sensor less than the 2019 model of the iPhone XS which is reported to launch as the iPhone XI, but that extra sensor will up your photography game. The cameras are housed in a square module along with a dual LED flash. The entire back of the phone is covered in glass.
The iPhone XR 2019 will measure 150.9 x 76 x 8.3 millimeters (9.1mm thick with the camera bump). It will be powered by a new chipset expected to be called the A13 Bionic. Unlike last year’s model, it has been reported it will ship with an 18W charger. However, the battery capacity is still unknown.
