Buying advice for Algeria

Both Apple iPhone 6s Plus and Apple iPhone XR are sold in Algeria, but they fit different priorities.

Apple iPhone 6s Plus is 23% cheaper at 30,000 DZD versus 39,000 DZD for the Apple iPhone XR, leaving room for accessories or a longer screen-protection plan.

Apple iPhone XR packs a 2942 mAh battery, which translates to longer screen-on time when you are away from a charger.

In the 30,000 to 60,000 DZD bracket, look for 5,000 mAh batteries, 120Hz screens, and at least 6 GB of RAM.
