You can still buy iPhone XR in India

Apple may have officially discontinued the iPhone XR, but you can still buy this iPhone if you’re looking for an affordable option. You won’t be able to purchase the iPhone XR from the official Apple India website anymore, but the device is still up for grabs on Amazon and Flipkart. You will also be able to find the iPhone XR at authorised Apple retail stores in the country.

On Flipkart, the iPhone XR price in India starts from Rs 42,999 for the base 64GB storage model. This makes it the second most affordable iPhone out there after the iPhone SE.

Should you buy iPhone XR?

The iPhone XR is still a great entry-level iPhone for those looking to enter the Apple ecosystem without paying a premium. The phone is powered by the A12 Bionic chipset and it ships with iOS 13. The iPhone XR is compatible with iOS 15, so you will be safe as far as software support goes.

With the iPhone XR, you get an edge-to-edge display with a notch, so the design is similar to the iPhone 11. That said, the iPhone XR is now three years old, which means you won’t get the kind of performance that the iPhone 11, iPhone 12, iPhone 13, or even the entry-level iPhone SE deliver.
