The iPhone XR is a smartphone designed and manufactured by Apple Inc. It is part of the twelfth generation of the iPhone, alongside the higher-end iPhone XS/XS Max models. The iPhone XR was announced on September 12, 2018, and was released on October 26, 2018. It is the least expensive device in Apples twelfth generation of iPhones, which also includes the iPhone XS and XS Max, and was therefore considered an "affordable flagship" or "budget flagship" phone at its release.
