| October 23, 2018 Today is iPhone XR review day. We don't yet have our hands on the phone, but we'll be sure to post our own review just as soon as we do. The reviews from everybody else have been universally positive, which isn't surprising. Fun fact: the iPhone XR is actually $50 cheaper than the Pixel 3. Inside every iPhone or Google Pixel phone is a special security chip that is nearly impossible to crack, which is used to store sensitive information like your credit card or fingerprints. For today's cover story, we've got all the details on how it works. A lot of articles went up yesterday claiming something like "Apple reveals what the R stands for in iPhone XR", but they either took a quote out of context with something about cars, or they simply revealed that Apple confirmed the R has no meaning and the article was clickbait. So there you go, I just saved you a click. - Lowell Heddings | |
