Apple is now taking iPhone XR pre-orders Apple's latest "budget" iPhone has entered the pre-order stage. The iPhone XR is now available for pre-order in six bright color and three storage options.
Color options are White, Black, Blue, Yellow, Coral, and (PRODUCT)RED™, and you can get each with three storage options, including 64, 128 and 256 GB.

Starting at $37.41/mo or $749 lump sum and ranging all the way up to $43.66/mo. or $899 for the 256 GB version.

The iPhone XR is expected to be perhaps the best selling iPhone of its generation. That is supported by the fact that it is indeed the cheapest of them, despite the aforementioned fairly steep price.

Deliveries are scheduled from October 26 onward, and they range depending on the version and its availability.

Specs-wise you can expect a 6.1 inch and 828 x 1792 resolution LCD screen, new and powerful Apple A12 Bionic chip, 12 megapixel camera, Face ID, and of course updated iOS 12.
