The more affordable iPhone XR, announced Wednesday at the big Apple Event, is no entry-level device.

It has a 6.1-inch Liquid Retina LCD, a TrueDepth sensor on the front, and the A12 Bionic chip inside. The back has a single 12-megapixel camera that can capture the popular Bokeh effect. Its more expensive siblings, the iPhone XS and iPhone XS Max, have dual rear cameras.

The iPhone XR is colorful though – coming in more shades than the other new iPhones, including white, black, blue, coral, yellow, and red. The iPhone XR will start at $749 and will be available in 64 GB, 128 GB, and 256 GB storage sizes. Compare that to a $999 starting price for the XS and $1099 for the XS Max.

Here's how the XR stacks up against other 6.1-inch smartphones.
