About this deal

The majority of retailers offer next working day delivery with a cut off at 6pm, although some go right through until 8pm. Having a single camera means that portrait mode isn't as well-developed as on the XS. Taking portraits with both cameras (alas, of people too shy to have their photos in a review), I found a big difference and a small one. The big difference is that the XS uses the 2x camera to take those portraits, resulting in a more tightly framed, headshot-like image at arm's length that is far more flattering. The smaller difference is that the XR's software has some problems with blurring out bits of hair that are behind other bits of hair, so when you zoom in, the silhouetting just isn't perfect. The retailers usually offer their same protection for refurbished phones which covers free repairs and technical issues for 12 months. All new phones are supplied with a full UK manufacturers warranty should anything go wrong with your handset.

It’s always the networks that make the final decision to accept or decline an application for a pay monthly phone, based on things like your credit score. Once your mobile number has transferred across to your new phone and SIM card, your old contract will automatically be cancelled. The iPhone XR is on top, the XS on bottom. Those two missing holes at the right side of the XS are the extra antenna that the XR needs. It’s a bit fiddly, but people do this if their network is the only one that works in their area and they do not want to pay the higher upgrade prices offered to existing customers.

Why are the deals so cheap?

But I can't ignore the fact that it has significantly worse wireless performance than either of this year's other iPhones, or competing Android phones at the same price. It's also on the large size, and if you're going to get a big iPhone, you should get the iPhone XS Max, with its better Wi-Fi, cellular, LAA, dual cameras, and higher-resolution screen in basically the same body. And get it on a three-year contract so you don't feel brutalized by the price. The retailer will send you full details of how to claim with your new phone. How long for Delivery? On the day of your ‘port’, your mobile number will transfer at around 11am and usually takes around 15 minutes (it can take up to 2 hours). Give your PAC code to your new network, they’ll transfer your number across for you the next working day. We're still in the process of running battery tests, but we have no reason to disbelieve Apple's claim that this will be the longest-lasting iPhone of the current three models. Apple claims 15 hours of internet usage, which in our experience is about halved when the screen's brightness is turned up to max, as compared with 12 hours (read 6) on the XS and 13 hours (read 6.5) on the XS Max. That extra hour of usage could make a difference for you, but I'd like to note that they still come nowhere near the 12 hours-plus of actual use on the Samsung Galaxy Note 9. Camera

A contract upgrade is the term used when you keep your mobile number and stay with your existing network. The iPhone XR, like the XS and XS Max, has Apple's innovative dual-SIM system that uses one physical SIM and one virtual SIM. The phone supports all possible US carriers on the main SIM slot, including T-Mobile's new Band 71. The secondary slot, right now, is mostly for roaming: Companies like Truphone and GigSky offer bite-sized, global data plans that are often more affordable than roaming with your primary carrier. Just like you switch your TV service, landline and electricity supplier etc, you can simply keep and switch your mobile number to another network to make maximum savings. Apple's A12 processor is the most powerful mobile chip available today, and one of the XR's big benefits is that it gives you access to all of that A12 juice. On Geekbench, it benchmarks at 10 to 15 percent higher than the iPhone 8 and iPhone X in terms of pure CPU performance, and 40 percent higher in terms of GPU computing performance. On GFXBench, a graphics benchmark, it's similarly 40 to 45 percent better than the iPhone 8 on offscreen tests, which don't take screen resolution into account.

If a deal includes a refurb phone then you’ll see ‘ Refurbished Handset‘ in purple text next to the offer.
