It’s not as svelte as the iPhone XS, with thicker bezels around the screen, and the 'old' glass black and aluminium design rather than the new stainless steel. But in isolation it still looks the part. The option to add a splash of colour (you can choose from black, blue, white, coral, yellow and red) doesn’t cheapen the look of the handset - the aerospace-grade aluminium band running around the edge of the handset is finished in the same colour and really looks and feels the part.

You get a bigger screen than the iPhone XS (6.1in vs 5.8in) – in fact it’s the biggest LCD display ever fitted to an iPhone. But, compared to its OLED sibling, both resolution (1972 x 828 vs 2436 x 1125) and pixel density (326ppi vs 458ppi) are lower. Does that impact picture quality? We’ll come to that shortly. Under the hood, you’ll find the same A12 Bionic chip used by the XR’s pricier siblings. Its CPU and GPU (both Apple-designed) are both faster and more efficient than the previous-generation A11 chip found in the iPhone 8 and iPhone 8 Plus.
