Be warned, do not succumb to common misconceptions that refurbished equals poor performance.
These specs are universal to the iPhone XR, regardless of whether the device is a new iPhone or one brought from us.
So, put those worries at ease! With our excellent 90-point PhoneCheck services at hand, you'll always be getting a top-quality result, no matter the phone.
Let's cut to the chase: If you've got a thing for all-day battery life, the iPhone XR will make your day.
Dubbed as having the best battery life among Apple's glittering line-up, this phone helped fight the iPhone stereotype that often viewed these phones as battery guzzlers.
In tests, the iPhone XR's battery can stretch up to a whopping up to 25 hours of talk time.
That's a ton of conversations, business calls, or late-night heart-to-hearts before even thinking of plugging in.
Switching gears—the battery stands also stands strong for up to 15 hours of internet usage.
Of course, these facts vary regarding individual usage, but when you compare that to the 12 to 13 hours of internet usage on the iPhone XS and XS Max, then that's some serious gains for a phone released in the same year.
And what's even better, you can get all this even cheaper with a refurbished iPhone XR, which comes with at least 80% battery health when brought from us.
Now, that's something worth thinking about.
Alright, you've heard about the superb battery life, but what about the camera?
When it comes to capturing memories, the iPhone XR is no slouch.
It dances the fine line between advanced tech and user-friendliness, making it a showstopper in the affordable photography game.
When you buy a refurbished iPhone XR refurbished, you can expect the following:
Rear Camera: 12MP wide camera, with ƒ/1.8 aperture and digital zoom up to 5x.
With it, you'll also receive:
Let's talk about the elephant in the room: the lack of a telephoto lens.
Before you go bemoaning the XR's single-cam setup, consider this—a solo lens doesn't mean you're missing out on killer shots.
In fact, its portrait mode offers advanced bokeh and depth control that'll still make your photos pop.
Plus, the absence of a dual-cam setup brings down the cost, making this beauty an affordable iPhone when compared to the iPhone XS Max.
Wondering how the iPhone XR hold up regarding its display?
Well, boasting a Liquid Retina HD display, this device promises an immersive experience that'll make you forget you're staring at a phone.
When it comes to resolution, the iPhone XR offers 1792-by-828 pixels, paired with a pixel density of 326 PPI.
These numbers mean that every detail, from the intricate design in your favourite game to the fine print on a webpage, is rendered with crisp clarity and vibrant colours.
But how does it compare to other iPhones on the market?
Sitting at 6.1 inches diagonally, this all-screen LCD Multi-Touch display with IPS technology truly takes screen real estate to new heights.
The iPhone XR's display size wedges itself comfortably between its siblings: it's larger than the iPhone 8 Plus but just a hair shy of the iPhone X/XS.
So, if you like your screen tech as the perfect medium, then this phone is for you.
And what's even better? You get all this and more when you shop at UR.co.uk.
