More than a decade after Apple Inc. launched the first iPhone, new models have come to adhere to a certain formula. They always get faster, with some more enticing features. More recently, they seem to get more expensive, too. This year’s iPhones are slightly different.
There are the $999 iPhone XS and $1,099 iPhone XS Max, which both look like the iPhone X but come with upgraded cameras and processor, more durable bodies and marginally better battery life and new colors according to Apple. And, there’s the $749 iPhone XR, a (relatively) more affordable model. It’s the real star of Apple’s event.
