![]() NY Times says that the iPhone XS Max is enough to convert even large phone skeptics.įor the past few years, I have been a naysayer on one feature of smartphones: their growing size. Plus it comes in colors like blue, red, yellow, and coral. If the prices are still a turn-off, consider holding off until the iPhone XR launches in late October it starts at $749 and has virtually all of the iPhone XS and iPhone XS Max features minus the superior OLED screens and secondary rear camera. If you’ve got an iPhone X and don’t care about a larger screen or better camera performance, you’ll survive just fine another year or two with it, especially with iOS 12. Those shouldn’t be overlooked because they’re mere internal improvements I have no doubts the iPhone XS Max’s massive 6.5-inch OLED display will be the one everybody wants, but both it and the smaller iPhone XS have feature upgrades, like an all-new camera system that takes better photos than even the best Android phones. Mashable said the larger screen of the iPhone XS Max and the camera improvements are the only reasons to upgrade from the X. But you should seriously wait and see what the lower-priced XR coming in October is like. The bottom-line: The iPhone XS adds some impressive camera improvements to the already-great iPhone X. ![]() Despite its still-rich price tag, key extras such as increased storage, USB-C fast chargers and headphone dongles will have you spending even more. The bad: Its battery life is the shortest of the three new iPhones and only incrementally better than last year’s. It has a faster processor, faster face ID, adds dual SIM support and it’s now available in gold and 512GB versions. The good: The iPhone XS has a markedly improved dual camera, delivering better photos than the iPhone X in both dark and high-contrast environments. Lastly, the battery life is really good on the iPhone XS and iPhone XS Max.ĬNET advises potential upgraders to wait to see what the iPhone XR is like. That’s better than the iPhone X, too, which could withstand spills and splashes but shouldn’t really spend much time in water. I didn’t want to ruin my test unit, but left it in a fountain about 1 foot deep for 5 minutes and it was totally fine after I took it out. It can sit in 3 feet of water for up to 30 minutes, like Samsung’s latest phones. I liked that I could take portrait pictures, like shots of my dog on the beach, and adjust the background blur after the fact. They’re louder than the iPhone X, and Apple also worked to tune the stereo sound so that audio sounds wider or more narrow, depending on the scene. And if you want to save some money, you should wait for Apple’s more affordable model - the iPhone XR ![]() They’re the best iPhones Apple has ever made but apart from the bigger screen on the Max, I’ve had a hard time really noticing a huge improvement over last year’s iPhone X, which I still love. If you currently own any of the older models, then the consensus view is that one of this year’s iPhones is a big upgrade – but don’t order one yet, because the iPhone XR offers most of the benefits at a significantly lower price …ĬNBC says these are the best phones on the market, but don’t justify an upgrade from the X. While reviewers do note that the iPhone XS offers notably better sound than the X, and the camera improvements impressed many, the overwhelming view was that there’s little here to justify an upgrade from last year’s model unless you want that giant screen. ![]() The first reviews of the iPhone XS and XS Max are out, and the story is incredibly consistent. ![]()
