Apple iPhone XR 2019 release date, specs, features and rumours
![][1]
[Apple][2] is expected to announce three new [iPhones][3] in September 2019. We've covered off what we expect to be the [next iPhone XS and iPhone XS Max][4] in a separate feature, but here we are looking at the successor to [the iPhone XR][5].
Here's everything we have heard so far, mixed in with some of our own expectations for good measure.
## What will the next iPhone XR be called?
* iPhone XR2
* iPhone XIR
* iPhone 11R
Apple threw a spanner in the works when it launched [the iPhone X][6] in 2017, changing its iPhone naming pattern from the sequential number system it had used since [the iPhone 3G][7], to a system with X's, R's and S's in 2018.
It's therefore currently unclear what the successor to the iPhone XR will be called and pretty hard to guess. It could be iPhone XIR, iPhone XR2, iPhone 11R, or something completely different.
## Apple iPhone XR2 release date
* Predicting 10 September
We're expecting the next Apple iPhone event to take place in the second week of September, as it has done for several years on the bounce.
Typically, the company holds its iPhone event on a Tuesday so while nothing has been confirmed, nor will it be for a while yet, we're expecting 10 September to be a day worth popping in the diary.
## Apple iPhone XIR specs: What we want and expect
* Premium, water resistant design
* Higher resolution display
* OLED screen
* Reduced notch
* Improved Face ID
* Dual rear camera
* Reverse wireless charging
* A13 chip
* iOS 13
* Coloured finishes
## Next Apple iPhone XR rumours: What's happened?
### 24 July 2019: Apple's new generation of iPhones will stick with Lightning for charging
[A report on 9to5Mac][8] has claimed the trio of iPhones due in September 2019 will have Lightning for charging and they will come with a redesigned Taptic Engine for 3D Touch-like functionality - something the iPhone XR misses.
The report also claimed the official model numbers for the new iPhones, with the iPhone XR's successor called N104 (iPhone12,1). Sadly the model number doesn't help is pinpoint what it's actual name will be.
