The 'R&apos ### stands for 'Reach'. This was stated very clearly in the keynote speech at the Apple Special Event. (Go back and watch it again). When Apple executive vice president Phil Schiller was on stage introducing the new iPhones, he said Apple wanted to 'reach&apos ### as many people as possible with a lower-cost iPhone.

I also heard that 'R&apos ### was chosen because it's a letter before 'S'

There are many rumours about the meaning, some say it means Retina HD while others propose it means Regular or Rational but the exact meaning is not known. :(

It is said to stand for: Retina HD

Retina HD is said to stand for: HD Retina

The letter itself does not belong to the initial of a word as such ### the reason for the R is that it is the letter preceding the S ### and Apple wanted to highlight that although the iPhone X(r) 2018 is an evolution of the iPhone X 2017, it is a step down from the iPhone X(s) 2018.

It might seem stupid, but it is not, plain and simple and calls Apple's 'Simplicity'

A2A: Officially, nothing.

It's Apple's custom to add the S to the second and improved offering of a model and sometimes give it a meaning eg. Speed, Siri, Security.

In the case of the X[R] there is no such meaning, but I can speculate that internally it was (and very unofficially) the iŠ hone X 'Reduced' because of its goal of being more affordable.

It's quite common at Apple for a 'development nickname' to end up being the official name.

It has not yet been revealed. There are many rumours but nothing certain. (Retina). What is certain is that the IPhone Xr is of a lower quality than its siblings. But it's not to be sneezed at, either.

It's also not to be sneezed at.

I presume you are referring to the Retina HD resolution of your display.
