Sams's Club offering $100 gift cards for iPhone XR pre-orders




Apple has taken the wraps off its latest and greatest iPhones — the iPhone XS, iPhone XS Max, and iPhone XR. The three iPhones boast a ton of new features, including a more modern design on the lower-cost iPhone XR and improvements to the processing power of all of the phones. After a successful few weeks for the iPhone XS and XS Max, it’s now the iPhone XR’s turn — the device is now up for pre-order and will go on sale on October 26.
First, you’ll need to figure out which new iPhone is right for you. Check out our iPhone XS and iPhone XS Max reviews to see how they stack up, or maybe read up on why the iPhone XR is the better choice. Once you’ve decided, where should you buy it from? We’ve put together this guide to help. Here’s how, when, and where to buy the new iPhone XS, iPhone XS Max, and iPhone XR.

The iPhone XR is now up for pre-order, with in-store availability set to begin o October 26. Pricing for the iPhone XR can be found below, though we’re not currently sure if the iPhone XR will be available unlocked given the fact that there doesn’t seem to be an unlocked option on the Apple website — only carrier options.

The biggest change is that the wireless earphones can read out notifications from the phone – who’s calling you or even the text you just received. Another neat trick is that you can assign one of the commands to “current time”, so you can check the time without having to reach for your phone.   Voice notifications on iOS • 'Current time' action • Dynamic Normalizer toggle The Ear Duo can mix the sound of your music with the sounds of the outside world so that you remain aware of your surroundings.
