Other iPhone XR Will Have Amazing Battery Life
A 720p LCD display on a 7nm SoC (A12 bionic) is going to sip on battery life. The battery life will be the hallmark for the XR. So IG, Snap, and TikTok away as it sips on battery life. Apple has a massive hit on their hands. So tempted to pick up a Red iPhone XR as the display would still... -
