The iPhone XR is not scheduled for release until mid-October. That is why you cannot find anything on the website. You do not need a subscription to purchase a phone. However, it sounds like you may not be from the US, and purchasing a phone in the US to use in another country is not a good idea, as the warranty is only good in the US, and a US device may not support all of the bands your carrier uses. Phone problems would require you to bring the device back to the US, as Apple will not accept international shipping. Considering the costs of the newer iPhones, I would not wish to pay that kind of money for a device I could not have a warranty for.
