#Apple is about to upgrade the loaner phone that it hands out when your #iPhone needs to be sent away for repair. And as you might expect, it’s an improvement on the current device that it lends to customers. At the current time, the tech giant gives out an iPhone 8, which launched in 2017 and sports the same physical design first seen with the iPhone 6. But according to an internal memo seen by MacRumors, starting Thursday, November 4, customers in the U.S. “and other regions” will be lent an iPhone XR, a 2018 device that sports a larger, all-screen display, and, unlike the iPhone 8, includes Face ID. The #iPhoneXR also has an A12 Bionic chip for improved performance over the iPhone 8’s A11 Bionic chip. More at the link in bio.
