Best iPhone XR Cases & Covers You Can Buy

According to its past trends, Apple launches new iPhone models every September. It is the beginning of August and there are rumors, of course, about how the latest new iPhone 11 looks like. On the other hand, Iphone XR, iPhone Xs and iPhone Xs Max have been released for almost a year. If you’re a big fan of Apple, you should notice that the iPhone Xr is priced far more affordable than the iPhone Xs series. Although it is a cheaper smartphone compared to the iPhone Xs, it still works “Brilliant. In every way,” Apple claimed. Undoubtedly, iPhone Xs and Xs Max offer the features and materials “to the extreme.” But in terms of the sales, iPhone Xr seems to dominate its sales out of other products.

iPhone Xr vs iPhone Xs

Without doubt, the biggest reason that iPhone Xr sold better than Xs may be mainly due to its price and functionality. Apple’s iPhone XR is priced at $749 while iPhone Xs is priced at $999. In terms of functionality, iPhone Xr offers similar functions to an iPhone Xs, it both have an edge-to-edge display but it uses a Liquid Retina LCD instead of OLED displays. Xr has a larger display compared to an iPhone 8 Plus, but in a smaller body that falls between 5.8-inch iPhone XS and the 6.5-inch iPhone XS Max. The iPhone XR uses the same TrueDepth camera system that's in the iPhone XS with faster, more efficient Face ID facial recognition for unlocking your device, making Apple Pay payments, and more. It comes in 6 colours option - white, black, blue, coral, yellow, and product red.

With the glass body, Qi-based wireless charging is supported, and the device features IP67 water resistance for keeping it safe from splashes and spills. Speaking of water resistance, Catalyst Case produces the best waterproof cases in the industry. Our team at Catalyst are experts on IP ratings. For those of you out of the loop, this refers to a standard of protection against tiny materials and particles from outside your device. A rating of IP67 means that the iPhone Xr has been tested to withstand splash, water, and dust in a laboratory setting. This typically means 1 meter of water for 30 minutes. As such, the iPhone Xr doesn’t quite meet the waterproof limits of the iPhone Xs and Xs Max. This puts it at about the same level of resistance as the previous iPhone X and perhaps more than the iPhone 8 or 7.

While the iPhone XR is thought to be “brilliant” all around, it doesn’t promise complete protection from the elements. You’ll find that beyond most dust, splashes, and 1 meter of water for a short period, you should also consider a case to protect your $749 investment. A little bit of water damage may very well throw you and your iPhone XR off the deep end.
