iPhone XR now available in Singapore (Photo: Apple)
The iPhone XR, despite being Apple’s entry model for this year’s launch is no slouch. While it has a smaller 6.1-inch display than the XS Max and only one rear camera, it is still powered by the company’s latest and fastest A12 Bionic processor.
Plus, there are now reports here and on Reddit the XR’s rear camera in Portrait Mode actually performs better under low light conditions.

On Apple Singapore’s online store, the iPhone XR retail price starts from $1,229 which is $420 lesser than the XS and a whopping $570 lesser than the XS Max.
For existing iPhone XS and XS Max owners, there’s is really no reason to look at the XR anymore. This phone is clearly targeted at buyers who are considering upgrading to the latest iPhone but are on the fence which one they should put their money on.
