The ‘R’ in iPhone XR is Finally revealed by Apple that may shock you

After spending weeks in scratching heads over what “R” stands for finally got the definite answer that R means a just an ‘R’. That’s what Phil Schiller from Apple had to say in a media report this week. According to him, it has to do with sports cars. He gave a quick to point out that for him the S and R has a different meaning.

I love cars and things that go fast, and R and S are both letters used to denote sports cars that are really extra special,” Apple marketing senior vice president Phil Schiller told Engadget.

So “R” could stand for “rally,” or “type-R,” or “road and track,” or anything, really – there are a lot of cars that use “R” in their branding.

Schiller’s decision to choose these letters might be rooted in his fandom for Audi, which produces cars with under R and S series.

This could give us a great shock as there have been many theories floating around indicating R could mean ‘Regular’ or ‘Reduced’.But eventually, he made a word what that means is just nothing.

Schiller says the R and the S letters aren’t anything special to him and it just serves to differentiate its models. These are Schiller’s own thoughts and not that of Apple, officially.

Talking about the iPhone XR this is the cheapest smartphone from Apple’s 2018 lineup goes on sale across the world from 26 October onwards where the starting price of the phone is around Rs 76,900, with low performance than the iPhone XS or iPhone XS Max, which start at $1000.

Meanwhile, In the Engadget interview, Schiller revealed there was even more nothingness at the heart of these new phones.

He was asked whether there was an enormous difference between the iPhone XS’s Super Retina screen and the XR’s mere Liquid Retina.

He confessed that numbers such as the XS’s 1080p might be meaningless: “If you can’t see the pixels, at some point the numbers don’t mean anything. They’re fairly arbitrary.”
