The camera does support 4K recording at 24fps, 30fps or 60fp with Optical Image Stabilization. Slow-mo video can go up to 240fps on 1,080p resolution.


The Apple iPhone XR didn’t miss out much over the iPhone Xs where it gets powered by the same 7nm SoC, an A12 Bionic chip with improved Neural Engine, Wireless Charging, FaceID and Apple Pay.

TouchID is now obsolete and the new FaceID claimed to works slight faster compare it to the iPhone X.
