Apple has upgraded the camera setups in the iPhone XS and iPhone XS Max. They bear a 12-megapixel wide-angle sensor with f/1.8 aperture and another 12-megapixel telephoto secondary sensor with f/2.4 aperture. It comes with a 6-element lens and 2x optical zoom. Additionally, the rear camera setup is also aided by an improved TrueTone quad-LED flash at the back. Additionally, the iPhone XS and iPhone XS Max have a 7-megapixel RGB camera sensor with f/2.2 aperture.

The iPhone XR sports a 6.1-inch (828x1792 pixels) LCD Retina display. The display notch on the top of the handset houses the TrueDepth camera system and enables Face ID functionality. Notably, the display panel in the iPhone XR has a 120Hz touch sample rate, TrueTone support, and is claimed to be the most-advanced LCD panel ever. However, 3D Touch support that Apple launched with iPhone 6s is missing. Instead, the iPhone XR features Haptic Touch.

The iPhone XR comes with a 7000-series aerospace-grade aluminium build. Also, its body is also IP67 protected. In terms of optics, the Phone XR bears a single camera rear sensor that comes in 12-megapixel resolution and has a six-piece lens on top along with an f/1.8 aperture. Meanwhile, the sensor is paired with a quad-LED True Tone flash, coupled with an advanced flicker-detect system, and includes optical image stabilisation (OIS) and Focus Pixels. Also, the handset comes with the 7-megapixel camera sensor featured at the front. It comes with Portrait mode upgraded and an f/2.2 aperture. It features an IR camera and a dot projector. Notably, the front camera also enables an advanced Face ID that is powered by the improved TrueDepth camera system.

As for battery life, Apple said that the iPhone XR delivers an hour and a half more than the iPhone 8 Plus. In terms of design, it has a glass back and supports wireless charging. Meanwhile, Apple has stuck to the Type-A to Lightning 5W charger. Notably, the 3.5mm-to-Lightning dongle will not be included in the box when the smartphone ships.
