Q: QuestionWhat's the difference between the XR and the Xs?

Asked 6 years ago by Chuck.

• A:Answer Two things I can mention are: 1.) XS is physically smaller. This may be a plus or minus for you individually. Check them out in person. 2.) XS has 4 wifi antennae, XR has 2. That means stronger wifi catching capability for XS. I don't know if this has a negative effect on battery life. If you are in a place where the wifi you want has been a weak signal, this might be worth any small additional battery drain. (Searching for wifi is a big battery drain, so more antennae might help there.)

Q: QuestionWill the XR fit in an iPhone 7 Plus case?

Asked 6 years ago by Imacap.

This question was asked about the related product: Apple - iPhone XR 64GB - Black (Verizon)

• A:Answer iPhone Xr will not fit into a 7 plus case. Dimensions (length, width, height) are not the same for those iPhones. And the camera lens size and placement are also different. So the openings will not line up for lens or ports. You’ll have to spring for a new case if you’re getting one of the new iPhones: Xs, Xs Max, Xr. I highly recommend Otterbox Defender series.

Q: QuestionOn the iPhone XR, is facial recognition the only way to unlock the phone? Can you not enter a numeric password? On the iPhone 6 plus, I can use my thumbprint OR I can enter a 4digit passcode, It's a nice option if someone else needs to use your phone.

Q: QuestionHow can I get a value for my current phone?

Asked 6 years ago by Trade.

This question was asked about the related product: Apple - iPhone XR 64GB - White (Verizon)

• A:Answer Easiest way is to do a google search for "best buy trade in" and it should be one of the first links to pop up. Once on the Best Buy trade in page just follow the directions and it will tell you the approximate current trade in value of your phone. I have found that the price online is always the same as the in store value as long as I evaluated it correctly and it's the same day. With that, you can ask in store what the current trade in value is if going to the store is easier.

Asked 6 years ago by Deb.

This question was asked about the related product: Apple - iPhone XR 64GB - White (Verizon)

• A:Answer Yes it can. My wife just traded in her iPhone 8 plus and was able to apply that amount as a down payment for the iPhone XR to make the monthly payments cheaper or to just pay it off in store before activating.
