Apple isn't done releasing iPhones this year. The colorful, kinda-sorta affordable iPhone XR is launching on Oct. 26, starting at $749, which follows the OMG-so-expensive iPhone XS and iPhone XS Max, which infamously start at $999 and go all the way up to $1,449.

In advance of the iPhone XR's debut, Mashable got an extended hands-on with the device, in all six of the new colors, in a 45-minute meeting with Apple. Check out the video for our first impressions, and watch for our full review coming soon.
