iPhone XR pre-orders opened 6:01 pm last Friday (AEDT), with the device costing A$1,229 for 64GB, A$1,299 for 128GB, and $1,479 for 256GB on Apple’s website here.

As previously reported, some commentators claim Apple has faced production issues over component parts, causing a delay in the device’s release date.

Whilst pre-orders have opened, the iPhone XR is not expected to hit retail shelves until October 26.

Local telcos – such as Telstra, Optus and Vodafone – have also released pricing options, available to lease or buy on a postpaid plans from as low as A$34/month.

As previously reported, the ‘affordable’ iPhone XR is tipped to be Apple’s best selling smartphone this year, with some commentators predicting supply constraints.

According to MacRumorsshipping dates for some iPhone XR models have already been pushed back over two weeks internationally, following strong demand.

Yellow, Coral and Red have proved to be extremely popular, with some commentators questioning sufficient stock.
