A Short Review Of iPhone XR


The iPhones come with scary price tags. In this scenario, you may wonder if there could be a way to get an iPhone without breaking the bank. Well, you can consider purchasing an iPhone XR. It’s the iPhone and it is exactly what you look for when you want a premium iPhone in affordable price.


With iPhone XR, you can expect 95% of the iPhone XS performance at 75% of the iPhone XS cost. The reason we say 95% of the XS performance is that there are some compromises. The screen and camera take a step back from the iPhone XR. The main feature that you might miss in the iPhone XR after using an iPhone XS is the rear telephoto lens.

You may be surprised here that iPhone XR actually has some improvements over iPhone XS. IPhone XR has a bigger screen (6.1 inches) as compared to iPhone XS screen (5.8 inches). And another very prominent feature of iPhone XR is that it has the best battery life as compared to all of the iPhones.

Now, we are going to mention some salient features of iPhone XR.

Camera


IPhones are known to have best mobile phone cameras. The primary rear lens on the iPhone XR, XS and XS Max is the same. All three phones have TrueDepth front camera. The rear single wide-angle lens camera is the same which is present in the iPhone XS and XS Max. So, the smart HDR shots and regular photos are the same.

The major difference to talk about is that this phone doesn’t have the rear telephoto lens which is present in the iPhone XS and XS Max. Without this lens, the iPhone XR doesn’t have the 2X optical zoom.  So, you are not going to like this absence of telephoto lens if you like to take close shots.

Size of the phone
The bigger phones have bigger screens which make the screen view quite amazing. However, there are many people who do not like to have bigger phones because it is simply difficult to hold bigger phones and put them in the pockets.


If you look at the iPhone XS and XS max, you will find a substantial difference between the sizes of the both. IPhone XS is too small to be regarded as an iPhone XS, while iPhone XS Max is quite bigger. IPhone XR, on the other hand is neither too big like iPhone XS Max not as small as iPhone XS. It has a 6.1-inch screen which looks quite amazing.

Display
The screen of the iPhone XR is bigger than that of the iPhone XS and smaller than that of iPhone XS Max. But that’s not the difference to talk about. The major difference is that it has LCD while iPhone XS and XS Max have OLED screens. That’s where the phone might look a bit downgraded but the matter of fact is that you are hardly going to find any major difference from the perspective of display quality.


IPhone XR technically has lower screen resolution as compared to iPhone XS. IPhone XS comes with a screen resolution of 2,436x1,125pixel resolution at 458 ppi while iPhone XR has a screen resolution of 1,792x828-pixel resolution at 326 ppi.

Review about Apple MacBook Pro with Touch Bar (15-inch, 2018)


MacBook Pro with touch bar comes with a set of components which the consumers had been expecting. Salient features of this laptop include an 8th generation process, enhanced storage and RAM options, a color-temperature-sensing True Tone screen, and many more. This computer has a slim unibody aluminum design.


For pro-level users, MacBook Pro with Touch Bar is also available with the core i9 processor. This laptop is great for the video editors and 3D artists. Now, we are going to discuss some pros, cons, and prominent features that make this laptop stand out among a list of other MacBook computers.

MacBook pros
Features that make this computer a preferable option include the following:

  • The high-end core-i9 version is much faster as compared to last year’s high-end i7 version.
  • True Tone screen performs quite well in many different lighting conditions.
  • One interested in video production will find features like 32GB of RAM and 4TB of flash storage really helpful.
  • Keyboard is less prone to stuck keys due to “stealth” update.

MacBook cons
  • Touch Bar models, which are more expensive, have been updated. The entry level 13-inch Pro and more affordable non-Pro MacBook computers are not updated.
  • Only USB-C connectivity is available.
  • The flat keyboard, which may be more reliable, might not be comfortable for many users.
  • It looks like Touch Bar is yet to find a purpose.



High end computer with high prices
If you want to purchase this MacBook, you might get shocked while seeing the price tag. That’s where most of the buyers might start thinking about going for the more cost effective options. The 15-inch MacBook Pro comes at a price of $2,399. You can also consider going for the high-end configuration which includes one of Intel's new six-core Core i9 CPUs, 32 GB of RAM, and a 2TB flash storage drive. You can also opt for the 4TB of storage.

These upgrades take the price of this computer to $4,699. In other words, it is a seriously expensive computer which may be out of reach for even those people who are willing to spend any amount of money to meet their professional needs.
