It works unaltered while using the TrueDepth front camera, but with the rear camera, it attempts to calculate the [[depth of field]] using a combination of the focus pixels on the image sensor and AI, resulting in more limitations including lower resolution depth data and subjects not being close enough due to the wide-angle lens being used instead of the missing telephoto lens. Just like the iPhone XS and XS Max, the iPhone XR also offers an adjustable depth of field through software, allowing the user to adjust the background [[bokeh]] effect after taking a photo.{{citation needed\|date=March 2024}} [[File:IPhone Xr (Red - Orange).jpg\|thumb\|right\|iPhone XR (left – Product Red) (right – Coral)\|alt=\|230px]] Line 189 ⟶ 190: {{See also\|iOS\|iOS 12\|iOS 13\|iOS 14\|iOS 15\|iOS 16\|iOS 17}} {{Further\|iOS version history}} The iPhone XR initially shipped with [[iOS 12]] installed out of the box and is compatible with [[iOS 13]], which was released to the public on September 19, 2019.<ref>{{Cite news\|url=https://www.independent.co.uk/life-style/gadgets-and-tech/features/ios-12-review-iphone-update-latest-software-download-apple-features-a8541711.html\|title=Apple is releasing its brand new iPhone software.

It is claimed that removing these items will reduce e-waste and permit a smaller iPhone box, allowing more devices to be shipped simultaneously to decrease [[carbon footprint]]. Apple ~~now~~only ~~includes~~included a USB-C to Lightning cable, which iswas compatible with increasingly prevalent USB-C charging sources, but incompatible with the previous (and ~~currently~~then more common) USB-A power adapter that Apple included with its devices, leading to Apple recommending users who don't have a USB-C based charging source to use existing [[USB]]-A to Lightning cables or buying a [[USB-C]] power adapter separately.<ref>{{Cite web\|date=~~2020-10-~~October 15, 2020\|title=iPhone 12: Apple's muddled charger messaging\|url=https://www.imore.com/iphone-12-apple-ditches-power-adapters-while-embracing-newer-cables-confusing-message\|access-date=November 5, 2020~~-11-05~~\|website=iMore\|archive-date=November 18, 2020\|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20201118175541/https://www.imore.com/iphone-12-apple-ditches-power-adapters-while-embracing-newer-cables-confusing-message\|url-status=live}}</ref> == Notes ==
