<p>Amazon kicked off the much awaited Prime Day Sale across the world including India on July 15 and will continue till July 16 (11:59 pm).</p>.<p>The American e-commerce giant is offering Apple's most popular 2019-series mobile iPhone XR for a huge discount. The base model, which launched for Rs 76,900 is now available for just Rs 49,999 and the 128GB can be grabbed for Rs 54,999 against MRP of Rs 81,900. They are available in five colour options including black, white, coral (orange), red and blue.</p>.<p><strong>Should you buy Apple iPhone XR?</strong><br />Absolutely yes! I reviewed the <a href="https://www.deccanherald.com/specials/top-mobile-phones-to-buy-this-mothers-day-733177.html">iPhone XR</a> for a month and have to say it is best of the three iPhones Apple launched in 2018. The other two are iPhone XS and the iPhone XS Max. </p>.<p>Except for the LCD display and a missing second sensor in the primary camera module, Apple hasn't cut many corners in making the iPhone XR.</p>.<p>The screen is bright and offers the best viewing experience for mobile with LCD display in the market. The camera too is exceptional; the Portrait mode pictures with bokeh effect is really impressive. </p>.<p>Most importantly, it comes with Apple's proprietary A12 processor, which is currently the most powerful chipset for mobile in the industry. It comes integrated with 6 cores, two high-performance cores, and four efficiency cores, which consumes almost 50% less power than the predecessor A11 series.</p>.<p>It is also integrated with an 8-core neural engine, 4-core graphics processing unit and the new image signal processor. It is capable of performing 5 trillion operations per second.</p>.<p>Also, it has the best battery life compared to its top-end brethren iPhone XS and the iPhone XS Max.</p>.<p>The Face ID of the iPhone XR ( and even XS & XS Max) is the gold standard for facial biometric security for mobile in the industry.
