The iPhone XR, announced in September 2018, was a much-loved smartphone last year, as pointed out in a report by Omida Technology. On Tuesday, the market research provider revealed data that said in 2019, Apple sold 46.3 million units of the iPhone XR.

This number is twice that of 2018, which was 23.1 million units, the data shows. Meanwhile, the iPhone 11 is in the second place with 37.3 million units shipped.

The report cited Omdia’s smartphone research and analysis director Jusy Hong’s statement, who said that Apple has taken the first and second places in the global smartphone shipment ranking. Also, the tech giant has held the dominant position for over five years, Hong added.

After its launch, the iPhone XR outsold the best smartphones from other brands such as the Samsung A10, Huawei P30, Oppo A9, and the Xiaomi Redmi 7A.

The iPhone XR is the 12th-gen iPhone model of Apple. The handset was announced at the Steve Jobs Theater, along with the iPhone XS and XS Max. It sports a 6.1-inch LCD screen, which the phone maker claimed to be the most advanced LCD display in the industry. The phone is powered by the A12 Bionic chipset, the same as the iPhone XS and the iPhone XS Max.

The iPhone comes in six color options: Red, Coral, yellow, blue, white, and black. One of the best things about this phone is that it offers high-end performance, great cameras, and amazing battery life at an affordable price. The iPhone XR was well received by consumers and has got good reviews since then.
