Expert review refurbished iPhone Xr
The refurbished iPhone Xr was released in 2018. On the large screen of this device, you can comfortably watch your favorite movies and series. With the camera on the back, you can capture sharp photos. On this page, you'll get to know everything on the Apple iPhone Xr.
The screen
The refurbished iPhone Xr has a 6.1-inch Liquid Retina display. The screen extends almost all the way to the edges of the iPhone. This refurbished iPhone isn't very large. Thanks to True Tone, the white balance adjusts to the ambient light. As a result, the screen is comfortable on your eyes and you can read the screen better in bright sunlight. You can see natural colors from any angle. Want to unlock your iPhone? You can do this by simply looking at the screen thanks to Face ID.
The processor
The exterior of the iPhone Xr already looks nice, but the interior has changed a lot too compared to the older iPhone models. In the refurbished iPhone Xr, we find the A12 Bionic chip. Thanks to this processor and the 3GB RAM, you can switch quickly between apps. This makes the refurbished iPhone Xr very suitable for light tasks, like social media and simple games.
The camera
The iPhone Xr refurbished has 1 camera on the back. This iPhone Xr has a 12-megapixel wide-angle lens and a 7-megapixel True Depth camera on the front. Both cameras have a portrait mode with depth control. With the subtle, blurry background, photos in portrait mode look even more professional. You can also adjust the depth of field of a photo afterwards.
The battery life
The battery of the refurbished iPhone Xr lasts about 16 hours if you play videos back to back. Your refurbished iPhone Xr will last an entire day with average use, which is a lot longer.
