The best iPhone XR wallet cases and covers

These days, your iPhone may take precedence over your wallet when it comes to rambling around your town or an exotic destination. But you no longer need to choose between them, especially if you carry your iPhone in a wallet case. Whether you choose a folio or a back case card slot, the fewer items you have to keep track of, the better. Note that the cases with cards on the back generally won’t work with wireless chargers, while folio cases mostly do not interfere with wireless charging. So keep that in mind, if wireless charging is important to you.

While the iPhone XR is outdated by today’s standards — especially when compared with some of the newer releases, such as the iPhone 11 or iPhone 12 — many iPhone users are still rocking those colorful beauties, which are estimated to last at least five years. If you’re one of them, consider showing it some love with a brand new XR wallet case. We pulled together some of our favorites.

By this time next year, Apple may have installed its own in-house Wi-Fi chips in all of its phones, or at least one of them.

According to Ming-Chi Kuo, a well-known analyst with a trusted record, Apple is working on its own Wi-Fi chips to replace the current ones from Broadcom, but there's not a firm timeline on when they'll arrive (via MacRumors).
