Apple iPhone XR may launch in two new colours: Report

Apple iPhone XR was launched for those who didn't want shell out a lakh (base variant) to buy the iPhone XS. The phone also inherited the colourful back concept from the iPhone 5C in May 2014. The latest report about it has now claimed that Apple will launch a successor to the original iPhone XR this year in two new colours. According to Japanese tech news platform Macotakara, these two new colours will be Green and Lavender variants, and will replace Blue and Coral. Citing reliable sources, the report says that these two colours will join the remaining ones: Black, White, Red, and Yellow.

The iPhone XR is the most affordable of the three iPhones launched last year. It borrows the design from the iPhone XS and iPhone XS Max, but comes up short on the features front. Unlike the other two smartphones, the iPhone XR comes equipped with a 6.1-inch LCD “Liquid Retina” display and a single camera at the back. The phone is built with an aerospace-grade aluminum and ships in six colours.

Under the hood, Apple has equipped the smartphone with an A12 Bionic chip and provided the same power to the variant as the other two models. The phone comes in three storage variants: 64GB, 128GB and 256GB. The iPhone XR features a single rear camera with a f/1.8 12MP wide-angle sensor and Optical Image Stabilisation. There is also a 7MP sensor that can capture selfies in portrait mode. The smartphone is also IP67-certified and can withstand water splashes. At launch, Apple claimed that the iPhone XR could deliver up to one and a half hours of extra battery life than the iPhone 8 Plus.
