Apple iPhone XR 64GB Blue (Renewed)

Product Information

If you thought blue was bright, you haven't seen anything yet. The yellow shade is the brightest iPhone XR color and a far cry from the restrained gold color that you can get the iPhone XS in.

Great price for this phone, in perfect condition, as good as new. Only minor issue is that when I was setting it up it said that a non-Apple battery was detected. Still, seems that it was refurbished and a new battery used, I don't mind that it is a non-Apple battery, it seems to last just fine. 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. As of July 1st 2019, simply text the word ‘PAC’ to 65075 and receive your PAC code within 60 seconds!). We’ve created this guide to help you choose which color iPhone XR is best for you. Below you’ll find images of the iPhone XR in every available color, along with additional information on the shades and links to buy them at the best prices we can find – because while all shades cost the same from Apple, prices sometimes vary elsewhere.

The coral shade sits somewhere between red and pink and is perhaps the most unusual of all the iPhone XR colors, just because it’s not a shade you see anything in very often. The retailer will send you full details of how to claim with your new phone. How long for Delivery?

Ofcom recognised that people were paying far too much to stay with their existing network and made ‘porting’ your number really easy… 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.

Why are the deals so cheap?

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). The retailers usually offer their same protection for refurbished phones which covers free repairs and technical issues for 12 months. 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. Since 1982, PCMag has tested and rated thousands of products to help you make better buying decisions. See how we test. A contract upgrade is the term used when you keep your mobile number and stay with your existing network.

Wi-Fi performance is also noticeably weaker than either the XS or a Google Pixel 3. Tested against a Netgear R7000 router at 5GHz, the XR got 3-11Mbps in weak-signal conditions, where the other phones were getting 40-70Mbps. Farther from the router, we got 12Mbps on the XS, 31Mbps on the Pixel 3, and nothing on the XR, which reported that it had signal but simply couldn't connect. That's pretty disappointing. All new phones are supplied with a full UK manufacturers warranty should anything go wrong with your handset. Once your mobile number has transferred across to your new phone and SIM card, your old contract will automatically be cancelled.

Are there any Credit Checks?

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 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. Give your PAC code to your new network, they’ll transfer your number across for you the next working day. Refurbished handsets are phones that have simply been returned with 14 days and then offered for resale at vastly reduced prices.
