14 DAY TRIAL // 2019 will be the last year when we get an LCD iPhone, so Apple might either retire the iPhone XR next year or switch it to OLED as well beginning with the 2020 generation.
For the last LCD generation of the iPhone XR, Apple wants to introduce two new colors, according to a new report. The 2019 iPhone XR is expected to debut in a six-color lineup as well, albeit this year Apple wants to give up on two versions and replace them with two others that are completely new.
Japanese site Macotakara reveals that the iPhone XR will be sold in white, black, yellow, and the special-edition (PRODUCT)RED, as well as in new green and lavender colors, which replace the existing coral and blue options.
Hello, lavender!
In other words, Apple is giving up on coral and blue and instead introduces a new green and lavender option that will be sold alongside the four mentioned above.
It goes without saying that Apple has remained tight-lipped on this change, but if it indeed happens, it’s a clear indication that green coral and blue versions of the iPhone XR aren’t selling necessarily as good as anticipated.
At the same time, introducing new options, like lavender, could help Apple increase the customer appeal of the iPhone XR, which would thus become available in new special colors that haven’t been previously offered on an iPhone.
iPhone XR will undergo a massive upgrade under the hood this year, so expect it to get the same A13 processor as the other iPhones, but at the same time, it should also get two cameras instead of one on the back.
On the other hand, it’s important to note that the other iPhones launching this year could come with a triple-camera setup on the back, so iPhone XR would continue to be positioned as the more affordable version of the three.
