When it comes to buying products online, whether that’s a TV, clothes, Mobile Phones or even a something like a sofa, there are a general set of guidance or advice that you can follow to help you get the best product for your needs and also the best for your budget. As you can imagine there are tons of different options in the Mobile Phones category and even loads of options of products from Apple so it’s important to take the time to find the right one for you. The four areas that we want to delve in to a little more are the quality, the price of the product, what the reviews are saying about it and then finally we’ll look at an overall score which takes into account the other factors.
Quality of Apple iPhone XR
Apple iPhone XR scored an incredible 9.9/10 for quality.
As you’d expect with a lot of products, quality is a very important factor for choosing products in the “Mobile Phones” category. But it’s even more important to consider and get a feel for quality when you’re buying online because you aren’t given the benefit of being able to see and try the item for yourself.
This is of course why we can’t stress enough the importance of reading lots of reviews, as it will really help you to get a good feel for how good the quality is. A top tip when reading the reviews is to use the search function on your browser and search for the word “quality” in the reviews that way you can skip straight to customers that have mentioned about the quality of Apple iPhone XR.
Once you’ve had a good look over the reviews you’ll have a pretty good indication of how good the quality of Apple iPhone XR is, but we also have the following factors that you should consider to get an idea of the quality of the product you’re looking at.
- Price: It probably sounds obvious, but there are links to the price you pay and the quality of a product. Try and set your expectations for the quality based on your budget. You wouldn’t expect a Rolls-Royce for the price of a Fiesta so bear this in mind when shopping.
- Specification: It’s a really good idea to look over the product description and specification section of the website, for Apple iPhone XR you can read the full details on the John Lewis & Partners website where it will give you all the detail you need. It’s useful as you’ll probably already have a good idea of the sort of specs that make good Mobile Phones. Also compare these specs to other similar products that are in the same price bracket.
- Brand: Apple are obviously a strong and recognisable brand for making great Mobile Phones, so you’d expect Apple iPhone XR to deliver to these expectations. But always consider the brand when you’re thinking about the quality of the product you’re going to buy, and where quality is an important factor to you, look only at those well known brands (of course only if your budget allows).
- Your experience with Mobile Phones: You’ll no doubt have some history with buying Mobile Phones, and you may have even bought products from the same brand, Apple, use this information to your advantage. You’ll probably have a good idea of how good the quality of the product was and any faults or floors you remember from it.
Price analysis of Apple iPhone XR
Apple iPhone XR scored highly with 8.2/10 for price in our review.
Price, a hugely important part of any purchase. Price becomes even more of a consideration when we’re shopping online because it’s so amazingly simple to compare the price of several retailers in literally just a few clicks. In fact you don’t even need to do that, we’ve run price comparisons for you in order to find the best price. The lowest price we’ve managed to find Apple iPhone XR for is just £679 over at John Lewis & Partners.
There’s a lot of geeky analysis to be done on price, but what we find most effective and informative is to look at 3 different figures when comparing products and that is the average price, the most expensive and the cheapest. This gives you a really good feel for what the normal product would cost but also giving you an idea of just how cheap you can find it or the opposite, just how expensive some are. It’s also useful to look at the average of the products that fit in the same category as well as products from the same brand. So we’re going to look in more detail now at the price of Apple iPhone XR.
Prices of products in the Mobile Phones category
We thought it would be useful to spend a bit of time exploring the price of Apple iPhone XR and seeing how it compares to other similar products. And also seeing how much variance there are in prices of products in the Mobile Phones category. To do this we looked at all of the products over at John Lewis & Partners, there were a total of 56 products in the Mobile Phones, and of these 56 products the average price was £471.48, making Apple iPhone XR above average at £679. We also looked at the cheapest option in the same category which was just £99.95 whilst the most expensive was £1199.00. So you can see there’s a huge variance in the price of products in this category, as an indication there were 41 products less expensive and 14 more expensive than Apple iPhone XR in this category. So we thought it would be worth going into a bit more detail and looking at the prices of products from Apple.
Prices of products from Apple
So the average price of the 153 products available from Apple was £273.24, making £679 above average against the other products from the same brand. With the most expensive product from them coming in at £4899.00 and the cheapest at £7.49. We thought a good next step would be to look more specifically at products from Apple that fit in to the category of Mobile Phones rather than looking at all their products.
Of the 8 products from Apple in the Mobile Phones category, the average price is £586.63 making Apple iPhone XR above average at £679. Again we looked at how much price can vary and found that the cheapest product to fit this criteria was £349.00 and the most expensive was £999.00 so there are again a lot of varying prices with the products. In fact to be precise we found 2 products from Apple that were more expensive and 5 that were cheaper.

- Description: A powerful new iPhone designed for everyday excellence, the iPhone XR showcases Apple’s new Liquid Retina display, faster Face ID and the most powerful processor chip in a smartphone. Available in a spectrum of rich and vibrant colours, there’s an iPhone XR for everybody. Out with the old The iPhone XR features the most advanced LCD screen ever found on a smartphone. The 6.1‚Äù screen provides a good balance between portability and visual impact, with a Liquid Retina HD design providing pin-sharp 326 pixels per inch screen density. To give an uninterrupted front display, Apple has done away with the Home button; technophobes need not worry, however – thanks to Face ID, it takes just a glance to unlock your phone or a gentle swipe up to access features. Designed for living iPhone XR is rated IP67 for water resistance, meaning it’s water resistant up to 1 metres for 30 minutes, and is sealed with a precision-fitted aerospace-grade aluminium band. The glass covering the screen is also highly resistant to scratches, so you can just get on with using the device as intended. Brilliant bionic The A12 Bionic chip is a six-core CPU powerhouse, which gives you fantastic performance as well as energy efficiency. With Apple’s next-generation Neural Engine, it uses real-time machine leaning to transform the way you use your apps. It’s up to 15% faster and 50% more energy efficient than the previous generation A11 chip. The 4 core Graphics Processing Unit is up to 50% faster than the A11 chip when using visually demanding apps, like games and video editing. Fantastic photos Thanks to its improved 12-megapixel camera and faster sensor, your iPhone XR is even better at shooting photos and videos. Using Apple’s Image Signal Processor and the A12 chip’s Neural Engine, it unlocks new creative possibilities. Features include Smart HDR, bringing more highlight and shadow details to your photos; Bokeh background blur for standout portrait shots, and all-new Depth Control to adjust the depth of field after the photo has been taken. Additionally, you can shoot 4K video up to 60 frames per second (fps) and 1080p slow motion up to 240fps. iOS 12 Designed to make your iPhone experience faster and more responsive, iOS 12 makes it faster to do everyday tasks – for example, swiping to camera is up to 70% faster than previous iPhones, and the keyboard displays up to 50% faster than previous models. You can FaceTime with up to 32 people at once, with tiles that automatically expand as people talk. There’s smarter ways to manage notifications and settings, intelligent shortcuts to pair your daily routine with the apps you use, and better privacy management when browsing the web. Thanks to iOS 12 and iCloud, you can connect your Apple products automatically and make your everyday tasks easier. For example, stream videos from your iPhone Xs to your television via your Apple TV 4K; everything’s synced, so all your devices have the latest information. What is augmented reality? AR can cleverly merge information and digital objects with the environment around you, directly onto your phone screen. (If you’ve ever played or seen Pok√©mon Go, you have experienced AR already.).When looking at your phone screen, this ingenious technology enables you to see (for example) handy navigation arrows on a street – aiding you towards a set location, or you could view and then shoot virtual aliens as they invade your living room. iOS12 is compatible with ARKit 2, unlocking more immersive AR experiences for app developers. AR objects can now be sent with Messages and Mail and viewed in the real world, while a new AR app called Measure helps you measure real-world objects just by pointing your camera at them. What is SIM free? You’ll receive the iPhone without having to commit to any network, leaving you free to decide which SIM card to use in the device. This gives you the opportunity to find the most suitable plan, whether that’s contract or pay-as-you-go, throughout the lifetime of the phone. You also have the option to add a foreign SIM card, so you can use the iPhone X overseas. Top tip: as this mobile phone is supplied SIM free and unlocked, you have access to SIM only deals – these usually offer far better value for money. (Please search: ‚ÄòSIM only deals best price’. Add the price of the smartphone above to the cost of a SIM only deal for 12/24 months – now compare this amount to the same smartphone purchased on a contract for 12/24 months, for eye-opening results.) You also have the option to add a foreign SIM card, so you can use this device overseas for less as well. Additional information: manufacturers often update their Operating System (OS) software over the course of a device’s lifespan – this means that your product might ship with a more advanced OS than specified.
