Apple finally delivers an iPhone with a huge screen, and for movie-watching, game-playing fans the iPhone XS Max is an exciting new addition to the range. It certainly costs a lot, but if you can get past the price (which many won't be able to) the XS Max offers up a super, supersized experience.

The iPhone XS and iPhone XS Max are among the best phones you can buy, and if you've been holding off on upgrading your iPhone 7 or iPhone 6s, either one of these handsets will feel like a huge leap forward. The cameras are miles better — especially in low light — and the A12 chip provides a big speed boost.

Overall, it’s a little surprising to see the older iPhone XS Max beat more recent flagship devices such as the Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ and Apple’s own iPhone 11 Pro Max, and that it is surpassed only by the Huawei Mate 20 X. Despite the need for improvement to memo and voice recording, the XS Max’s good spatial results and its impressive results for handling higher volumes with relatively little distortion make it clear that Apple has ensured that the iPhone XS Max will maintain a leading position in audio playback and recording for some time to come.

Even after nearly a year using it the iPhone XS Max is hard to fault. It's fluid, fast and effortless, and is a premium package that looks and feels great in the hand. Of course, you could look down the spec list and say "OnePlus 7 Pro has a much better display" or "the Pixel 3 takes better photos", but neither of those elements are so noticeably different that you feel you'd miss out. What's more, iPhone still offers a fantastic all-round experience thanks to quality design, display, camera, battery life and - let's not forget - it's very strong ecosystem. It may be too big for some, or too expensive for others, but there's always the iPhone XS or iPhone 11 Pro and Pro Max for those who think the former, and the upcoming iPhone XR or 11 for those who think the latter.

In some ways the XS Max could be your perfect phone. It brings the option of a larger screen to those for whom 5.8in just isn’t enough and is the first iPhone to cater for those who need two SIMs. It also brings upgrades to photos (Smart HDR), videos (extended dynamic range) and audio (better stereo). However, it remains tricky to justify the high price, especially if 64GB isn’t enough storage for you. Battery life could be better and while performance is great, it isn’t a huge jump up from the iPhone 8 or X.

For iPhone enthusiasts wedded to the iOS ecosystem, it’s important that Apple stays on top of its game for photography. It has by and large done that with its rear cameras, and iPhone devices always rank high in our database of smartphone image quality. Now that more and more smartphone images are selfies, however, manufacturers are aware they need to continue developing front cameras to keep consumers loyal.

You could also get a pretty capable portable gaming system such as the ASUS ROG Hero II GL504GM. Packed with good hardware like an Intel Core i7-8750H processor, 16GB of memory, a GeForce GTX 1060 GPU, 128GB of PCIe SSD, a 1TB HDD and a 144Hz G-Sync IPS display, this notebook has all the bases covered. It looks smart and can pass of as a busniess notebook without usual hallmark appearance of a gaming notebook. and it's now going for just S$2,598 at Courts. That's $100 off the recommended retail price and is just a $250 top-up to get a competent gaming notebook over the maximum capacity edition of the iPhone XS Max.

iPhone XS/XS Max Camera Review: The best cameras ever on iPhones? Yus!
Source: Tech PP English Archive.org version
That said, there can be no doubt that these cameras are among the best in phoneland in best iPhone tradition, and perhaps the best reason for anyone on an older iPhone to upgrade. Most significantly, however, the new iPhone cameras continue to largely stick to the virtues that made the iPhone perhaps the most used camera in the world: they are simple to use (the UI remains as uncluttered as ever), they work fast, and their results – for all the talk of smart HDR and Beautygate – are closer to what one sees rather than what would please one. Good old WYSWYG – no cameras bite reality quite as well as these ones do, in spite of all the computational magic and the mild enhancements on the selfie front.

At Rs 144990, the iPhone XS Max is not only the most expensive iPhone, but also the best. Its performance is far ahead of its Android counterparts, but when it comes to the camera, it just barely manages to creep past the Pixel 2XL. The iPhone XS Max may be an ideal smartphone for many users, incorporating the best of everything, but you are bound to baulk at the price, especially when you realise that this time, not only is there no fast charger in the box, but the lightning to 3.5mm converter has been removed as well.

92% Apple iPhone XS Max – bigger is much better
Source: Gadgetguy English Archive.org version
So, is the iPhone XS Max worth the money? That depends on how you’re paying for it, and if having the ‘best’ is worth it to you. It is indeed a very impressive, cutting edge phone that offers just about the best of everything: looks, performance, camera quality, features, screen, smarts, speakers and more. Is it better than a Samsung Galaxy Note9? Its camera and screen are comparable, and it doesn’t have an S-Pen (stylus) if that’s important to you. However, for many that want to stay within the Apple camp, or even those jumping ship from Android, the iPhone XS, and XS Max especially, will be sure to surprise and delight.

Overall, are the new iPhones worth it to upgrade to? If you’re an iPhone X user, I think my answer is no. If you’re coming from an older device, then my answer is… wait it out. When having a hands-on with the XR at the keynote event, my first thought was that this would be the model that would see the most success for Apple this generation. The problem here is that Apple is asking for a lot of money – if you’re entrenched in the iOS ecosystem, I think it’s best to evaluate the individual pros and upgrades that the new iPhone XS brings over your current device.

80% iPhone XS and iPhone XS Max Review: Here comes the future
Source: Slashgear English Archive.org version
Despite just preaching restraint, I can’t really criticize you for wanting to just pick up the iPhone XS or iPhone XS Max today rather than waiting. Apple’s new flagships look and feel great; their cameras are reliably excellent; and they have the performance and screen quality you’d hope for. That doesn’t, though, make them the right smartphones for everybody.

iPhone Xs and iPhone Xs Max review & Differences
Source: Phone World English Archive.org version
After seeing all these heavy prices of 2018 iPhones, I am not impressed at all. They are way too expensive with a few new features, that doesn’t require this much money. If you are having iPhone X and thinking to upgrade then I will say a big NO, and if you are upgrading from iPhone 6 or iPhone 8 then you can but still think of this much money in which you can get a used car. The choice is yours, do tell us in comments!

Those prices are insane for any smartphone, but if you're an Apple fan, you should already be used to premium pricing. Whether you're willing to shell out that much for a smartphone is up to you, but if you're on the fence, it's worth noting that the original iPhone X is now 10 percent cheaper (but only at the Apple Store), and don't forget, the much more affordable iPhone XR, which shares many of the same features as the XS, is coming next month.

90% Apple iPhone XS and XS Max review: Pricey but future-proof
Source: Engadget English Archive.org version
For better or worse, the iPhone XS Max is just a massive iPhone XS. That's great in some ways: its 6.5-inch display is fantastic for watching videos and lining up photos, and there's a much better battery here, too. That said, only a few app and services so far make meaningful use of all this extra screen space. Beyond that, it’s simply going to be too much phone for some people to use comfortably with one hand. (You really need to try it before buying, if possible.) Even so, this is still Apple’s best big smartphone, and it’s more than enough to give Android’s best a run for their money.

iPhone XS and XS Max review: few compromises, but few changes too
Source: Sydney Morning Herald English Archive.org version
And one area where Apple has cut corners is with the power cable. Despite every modern Apple laptop being USB C only, the iPhone still ships with a USB A cable, and the tiny little power adaptor pumps out a measly 5W, so fast charging is only possible by buying another cable and adaptor. This seems ridiculous on a phone with few other compromises.

For everyone else, I think it’s worth waiting to see how the iPhone XR turns out before rushing in. It has the same processor and the same main camera for $750. The only major question is how good its 6.1-inch LCD will look in comparison to the OLED on the XS. But for that, we’ll just have to wait and see next month.

This is a phone that is fast not just now, but it will remain fast for another two or three years. It is a phone that will get regular software updates. It's a phone that offers you better privacy. You can get a better camera in an Android phone like the Pixel 2. Or you can get a great screen in the Note 9. Or fantastic software in OnePlus 6. And these are more affordable phones. But there are something you can get only in the iPhone XS and the iPhone XS Max. And that is worth paying the high price.

The iPhone Plus range has always fitted a certain type of phone user and the iPhone XS Max answers to those people's needs in a post-Touch ID button world. If you've been a fan of the Plus models in the past, this is certainly going to be a device that you'll want to take a closer look at. But save your pennies - it's also the most expensive phone on the market.

[Review] iPhone Xs Max: potência de sobra a preços pornográficos
Source: Gizmodo English Archive.org version
É óbvio que tem muita gente que compra fora do Brasil: o preço é menos proibitivo, mesmo com o dólar a quase R$ 4, mas não tem parcelamento. Os R$ 7 mil do iPhone Xs mais simples vira cerca de R$ 4.400 nos EUA (incluindo taxas). Então, meu chute, é que esta nova versão chegue às mãos de pessoas endinheiradas entusiastas da marca ou desenvolvedores que trabalham em aplicações que usam o potencial do chip A12 Bionic. Mesmo assim, para estes públicos que precisam de desempenho, tem o iPhone XR. Ele tem o mesmo chip A12, mas tem uma tela com qualidade inferior e apenas uma câmera na traseira. O preço não é dos mais camaradas, mas, pelo menos, ele começa em R$ 5.199.
Positive: Big screen; powerful processor; high performance; impressive display. Negative: High price.

Comment

Model: The Apple iPhone XS Max is all about its massive, beautiful screen, which is easily better than any other. For the last few years, when there’s been a ‘plus’-sized iPhone, the bigger one has been definitively better. The bigger ‘plus’ screen size also comes with significantly longer battery life than the smaller iPhones and dual cameras instead of single-lens affairs. However, this 6.5-inch model is called the iPhone XS Max instead of ‘plus’ because while it’s bigger than the 5.8-inch iPhone XS, they’re otherwise practically identical. The iPhone XS Max is actually one of the more difficult super-sized phones to handle. That’s partly because it’s marginally wider. They look and feel luxurious in stainless steel, but they’re difficult to get a solid grip on with fingers. The glass back plays with ambient light to deliver different shades, while the shiny colour-matched stainless steel adds a hint of bling. The XS Max is IP68-rated for dust- and water-resistance. That means it can withstand being submerged in 2 meters of water for up to 30 minutes, compared with 1 meter of water for the same amount of time on the iP67-rated iPhone X and iPhone 8. The iPhone XS Max has Apple’s latest processor, the six-core A12 Bionic, which the company says is 15 % faster than last year’s A11 Bionic and up to 50 % more efficient. But it is the integrated AI chip that is up to nine times faster than the old one that apparently makes all the difference. The A12 Bionic is new, and it is not just paired with 64 GB, 256 GB, or 512 GB flash storage, but also 4 GB of LPDDR4 RAM, which is a new high on the iPhone.

The iPhone XS Max has an HDR 6.5-inch Super Retina HD display at 2.688 x 1.242 pixels and 458 pixels per inch. The display is also HDR, spans the DCI-P3 colour range, has 624 cd/m2 max brightness, and 1,000,000:1 typical contrast ratio. The OLED panel is pretty colorful too, covering 123 per cent of the sRGB color gamut. Most photography will be done with the rear-mounted dual 12 MP camera system. It is improved somewhat from the iPhone X with a larger sensor leading to better low-light performance even before software assists, an f/1.8 aperture for wide-angle, and an f/2.4 for telephoto. The optical zoom remains at 2x, with a digital zoom up to 10x. The TrueDepth camera system, responsible for not just selfies but also for Face ID is a 7 MP shooter, with f/2.2 aperture. The photos taken by the XS Max look outstanding on their own, but when compared to the X, there is a slight difference to them. The audio boost in the iPhone XS Max is so good that users will think twice about connecting to a Bluetooth speaker. Apple says it widened the stereo sound to deliver more detail. The iPhone XS Max has a larger capacity of 3,174 mAh. It is the phone to get if a user wants longer endurance. The iPhone XS Max is an amazing device, packed with loads of technology in very much the same way the original iPhone was. Its primary selling point is that enormous, gorgeous screen, which is really only useful for watching video or viewing photos. It is a phone without hardware compromise, with an equally uncompromising price.
