Apple iPhone XS Max - User Reviews

  • What are you talking about I can play pubg and cod on the highest settings perfectly fine with 2G of ram

  • iPhones are laggy compared to Android phones? I am sure you never used the iPhones ever...

  • Apple did disable fast wireles charge on ios13 update. Nobody talking about this? I have xs max 512gb spacegray. I have meter on my charger and i can see amps and volts going to phone. Ios12 charge was 1.2amp 10w and now it maxes 0,8amp..

  • I want buy iphone .. but who the best iphone xs max or iphone XR ... but im was trying xs max the camera litle dark

  • The best phone ever:!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Ehm..

  • One of the best batteries ever

  • Hi I think iPhone are better than Samsung note whatever

  • Currently i have samsung s8. I wanna switch to iphone xs max. Can u pls share actual battry timing of xs max with 4g internet surfing, and does it come with fast chrger in box?

  • You're 1 of the few

  • I saw a comment talking about galaxy s10+ with 12 gig ram. Dude, Ram doesn't make a phone run super fast as you think. Apple is very good when it comes to Ram management. They're better than android in that aspect. IPhone is just too overpriced. My advice for anybody is; Go for galaxy s10 or 10+

  • Yeah lots of shops will still have stock.

  • Any feedbacks about battery life after ios 13 update?

  • Will I still be able to buy this phone in a few months, now that Apple store has discontinued it?

  • From where did you buy. The price is very good. Please share as I am also thinking of buying the same.

  • My dream

  • You compare 12 gb RAM with 4gb RAM?!!!!!!

  • “I wILL nEvEr GeT aN iPhOne” Then get off of this page, troll.

  • i just got a brand new iphone xs max 256gb for $655 on Amazon.Best phone ever.

  • LOL

  • iPhones are the stupidest phones on earth. Even their latest model. They still running 2.0 and battery is 3100mah..hahahahahaha. I would never buy an iphone.

  • Wrong, But i wouldn’t expect any less from a person like you.

  • Overrated. Only selling brand mostly

  • best iphone at ever seen i buy it in may

  • best iphone at 2018 ever best camera best apps my iphone is global market i love it 😘😘😘

  • best iphone at ever been very amazing specification and type its my best iphone ever

  • Me, too. When the phone rings, I cannot answer the phone by touching on the button. Also, Sometimes the screen turns on black once I click the wake-up button. I do believe iOS13 will have solved those issues completely.

  • I face the same problem. It is very random. the screen becomes blank, no response. i can hear the ringtone if someone calls me but cannot answer during this time as the screen is blank and nothing works. some times i have to keep the power button pressed (may be for more that 8-10 seconds) and sometimes i have to hard reset it.

  • Mine does the same and i find it super annoying considering my heavily used iPhone 7 plus didn't run into that issue.

  • My iPhone XS Max was bought in February, 2019. It is a fantastic device. I do really enjoy it always. However, at times it's screen become unresponsive. Earlier, it used to get back to normal quickly. Now in August, I find it quite frequently. I have to force shutdown and restart which is very inconvenient when we are busy. I am not sure whether it is a common problem or not. For me it's a very disappointing device from Apple Inc.

  • A truly splendid device. Top 'notch' you might say, if you'll pardon the pun.

  • The xr does not have same specs as xs max the screen is 2,688 x 1,242 pixels with a Super Retina oled display on xs max the xr does not boast that kind of picture quality, considering the xr is kinda new it has a poor pixel resolution at 1,792x 828

  • This is the best phone i ever had,,,

  • I really don’t recommend to buy ‘physical dual sim’ iphone. Physical dual sim iphone has many issues. internet connection, phone call connection, .... Physical dual sim iphone only works well only with one sim. If you put two sim cards, you gonna have issues. I don’t know whether dual sim iphone with e-sim works well or not with acting two sims. But I can surely tell this - physical dual sim, Never!

  • I love iphone...

  • you can buy or choose 2 Model Unit : CN (China) or ZA (HongKong).

  • Think both iPhones and Galaxy phones are great. I'm an Android user and I feel the XR was a great win for Apple in my book. Have basically the same specs as XS and XS Max. Same goes for S10e. I love tech and I like iPhones too because it's the best brand phone. What I don't get is their price range. I mean if you pulling out a phone each year that looks almost the same as last year. Why does it have to be higher for

  • Hello can anybody tell me xs max physical dual sim model Number....??i want to buy dual sim model kindly tell me xs max physical dual sim model number??its urgent reply me waiting....

  • XS Max doesn't have 120mhz screen, that's why it isn't as smooth as your iPad.

  • I owned an iPad Pro 11, one thing I noticed was the 120hz screen which both my iPad and Xs Max has it. It seemed on my Xs Max is not as smooth as my iPad Pro during scrolling and whatnot, and its annoying and felt like the Xs max is outdated than the iPad. Or was it only just my phone problem? On iPad Pro, it was smooth as butter, dare I say smoother than my own face.

  • Wait until nexth month and buy the newer model. It's expensive yes, but it will be worth it and lot more.

  • "not good phone" True, It's not good, it's great phone!

  • such a great phone, but i would way until nexth month to buy newer model

  • it is nice i like

  • Get The OnePlus 7 Pro it's the best Android smartphone currently or the Galaxy S10 plus (US version) which comes with the Snapdragon chipset.

  • Remember the brand its apple

  • I have this phone and want to change from Apple to Android but I don’t know where to start . I see a phone I like, then find out it’s no sd slot or the camera is no better than what the iPhone is. All I want is a pretty decent camera, big screen, can customise my ringtones and screen I’m happy. I’m not one that constantly posts on social media or takes a lot of selfies.

  • Don't buy it, heavily overpriced, small battery life, no sd card, no 3.5 jack, medium camera for this price segment, heavy, narrow screen, ugly notch. Samsung and Huawei offer much better options for your hard earned money.

  • I want to buy it but still its very expensive

  • Use iTunes to upgrade your software....or go to settings>>general >>reset >>factory settings .... Remember to back up on your iCloud before resetting.

  • All the best man! See you very soon.

  • I try to keep phones for around 3-4 years

  • Now that Note10 is out, iPhone XS Max is currently the 10th best phone since their last position in... 9th before Note10 takeover the 1st

  • Lol, Androids suffer from it the worst, so no real case here bud. :)

  • If programmed obsolence is what you call optimization then of course you are right :)

  • An OS is more than a grid of icons, that is a UI and plenty has been done under the hood over the years. Apple has done plenty of innovation and so have Android OEMs, but to claim there is no innovation from Apple in that period of time is a lie and not at all facts. You speak anything but facts mate, you have spewed more than enough rubbish here, comeback when you are serious.

  • Lol I'm here because I love technology in general, I don't have a favourite brand because I ain't a sheep to follow any brand blindly, I was just stating facts. Every smartphone manufacturer is innovating while Apple recycle the same design with the same OS ( a grid of icons) since 2007. Not saying that iPhones are bad because I like the Devs optimizations for iOS apps and games but that's all.

  • I believe this is all down to your network and their support for eSim

  • People who own smartphones that are supported for long keep their phones for 5-6years. :) If the S10 was better you would not be here, you would be enjoying your supposedly better S10 in peace, yet here you are. The A12 Bionic is far ahead of anything in Android and the best part is that it gets better with each update as Apple open it up more to take advantage of the raw power.

  • XS is better in all segments.

  • Who the heck uses his smartphone for 5- 6 years? Three years is more than enough for the updates, S10 plus has the best screen on a smartphone, better battery life, a more versatile camera and why would you care about the chipset if you don't play heavy games? And that generation behind argument is not valid anymore because even midrange smartphones can do everyday tasks with ease and that powerful A12 bionic isn't on par with the pathetic battery life and the slow charger that comes in the box, sorry but Apple isn't on top since Steve Jobs died and that's a fact.

  • As usual comments,superiority complex among the users of adroid and ios.

  • CPU and GPU of your S10 Plus are about a generation behind XS Max, and the OS is a bloated and fragmented mess. I know for a fact my XS Max will get updates for the next 5-6years, but your messy S10 Plus will probably be getting late Security updates by early next year when Samsung begin to forget it, lol. I don’t play PUBG, I do actual work with my phone and iPhones still have the fastest Notifications in the business thanks to the dedicated Notifications Server Apple setup to ensure we even get GMail emails before an Android. Let’s not forget that Security updates and OS updates on iPhones land on THE SAME DAY on EVERY model supported, every single XS Max gets the updates on THE SAME DAY, your messy Galaxy S10 Plus has so many variants that it can take up to 6 months for some variants to get updates, LOL, it’s pathetic.

  • I have the s10+ 1tb 12gb ram ceramic & my wife 512gb iphone xs max both have their pros & few cons.. camera is good most of the times in her iphone & better few times in samsung some times depending on lower light or colorful day bright i mean ya but s10+ 1tb 12gb beats iphone there is no lag at all, internet is way faster, xs max does lag compared to it trust me i have like over 500 gb loaded in my s10+ with music games and movies apps i mean its so so smooth i have dual instagram whatsapp etc accounts business and personal i mean xs max cant take this load So when people compare on youtube and these companies dont believe them at all Tell them to fill the phone storage above 90 percent then see how xs max fails, all they show is keep phone besides each other and open apps and show oh look xs max is fast haha Dont believe me whatsapp chat storage when reaches 200gb in xs max it will fail miserably

  • Then what are you doing here??

  • What do you expect, when Steve died the iPhone died with him!

  • Which IPhone would you like to Purchase between XS or XR

  • I would like to purchase this Iphone XS Max but also I want to Purchase an Apple watch I would like to now if I can use this devices with an E-Sim card.

  • People who buys Samsung phones are always hating on iphone users. If you truly believe you bought the best phone than be satisfied with your purchase and stop the hating. Just face it, the iphone is THE phone. Plus IOS 13 will make the iphone up to 50% faster. And Samsung video and sound are not as good as the iphone XS Max. Samsung S10 owners feel the need to promote their phone every chance they get while spending hours hating on the new iphones. If your S10 is truly the best than why are you here? Why do you feel the need to keep saying it? At the end of the day if Samsung, Apple or any other smartphone company is not paying you then you are just wasting your time.

  • i don't like iphone don't mind. and don't dare to compare with s10+ please. reason; 1. your iphone is using amoled screeen manufactured by samsung , that proof Samsung s10+ has better display compare to your iphone. 2. we have headphone jack, no need to carry additional extra dongle like iphone user need. 3. price much way cheap than iphone, performance was almost the same no issue as getting security update and android update every-time. 4. camera don't dare to comprae with s10+ you know it why. 5.battery massive 41000 mah, can last more than a day with single charge. 6. after sales service and cost way more cheap compare to iphone, my friend who is using xs max accidentally doped and break the back glass still couldn't afford to replcae due to expensive cost :D 7. can use additional memory card upto 1tb :D, and can use dual simacrd omg, you still compare with your iphone i had lot more :D :D

  • Still, all those humongous hardware, and in 1 year your Samsung will throttle and leak its godly hardware at 70% performance, haha. Research more about it, kid. Stop comparing phones based on "PUBG performance". Buy a damn PC/console and play your video games. iOS is far more superior than any other OS (open-source or not). This ecosystem is built with customers in mind. Wanna bet my iPhone XS MAX will clean the floor with your Samsung s10+ in ~1year, playing PUBG?

  • The specs, speed, quality, resolution, performace, battery capacity, battery life, os usability, os customizability, user friendlyness, screen quality, camera quantity, camera quality, ram, storage space, cpu and gpu are all way superior on the S10 plus. And you get a real headphone jack not needing an external $50 dongle. And you have an actual memory card slot to extend your storage beyond the 1TB internal space. 12 GB of ram on the s10 plus vs only 4GB of ram on the iphone xs max. And then there is real world performance.. playing PUBG on the s10 plus with all details maxed out in game and on phone settings gets you a liquid smooth PC quality 60+ fps. But on the iphone at the same game settings, you get random lag spikes and constant lag spike on swiping to turn your view.

  • IP68 dust/water resistant (up to 2m for 30 mins)------NEVER....maybe just on paper...liar liar..liar:))))))

  • Google security researchers have found six critical flaws with iMessage that can compromise the user's phone without him even interacting with the device. These vulnerabilities fall into the "interactionless" category. Luckily, five of them have been patched with the iOS 12.4 update.Four of the vulnerabilities require the attacker to send an executable code on iMessage and once the victim opens the message, the code will run. The other two are memory exploits. As of now, five of them are fixed while the last one remains a secret until Apple patches it. We strongly recommend updating to iOS 12.4 if you haven't already. Good thing that security researches took a hold of the vulnerabilities before anyone else because as ZDNet reports, some will pay millions to use the exploits before Apple is able to patch them.

  • Read the issues.. still bought xs max latest manufactured unit make is good but yes its true about the modem 4g and wifi is slow this is very poor from apple & so i now traded to have the s10 plus 1tb 12gb ram modem those who are talking about comparison this model is years ahead it has no competition right now perfect balance phone compared to any phone, the s10 plus even 512gb 8gb may be ok but those purchasing 12gb ram 1tb storage s10 plus its so so fast & no issues at all and i say fastest till date in anything and maybe different hardware from other samsung s10s so everyone give it a try please even iphone users as i am since 6 years switched and am happy

  • Yes it is but within the Samsung phone Series. Iphone XS Max number 1 in the iPhone X series.

  • I think Note 9 is like a toy versus xs max.

  • Get the \note. mine is so laggy

  • You should buy a single sim iphone xs max (lla part number) for solving this problem.I had twin sim before and had call drop & missing antenna ,but after buying a single sim ,i don’t have any problem.

  • Exactly my words!! I had same issues of call drops frequently. Tried all the resets and what not. But no improvement. So finally I sold my XS Max and got a Pixel 3 XL. SO far no issues of call drops and signal drop. But Apple seems to overlook this problem despite lot of complaints.

  • Yes , Xs Max is a very fast phone , just like 8+ and X , but the 2018 iphone line-up ( Xs, Xr and Xs Max ) it has the worst cellular performance from all iphones generations that were ever produced . Just take o look at the Apple forum to see thousands of owners complaining and returning their phones to Apple . If you want a ios phone , you should choose iphone 8+ or iphone X .

  • The iPhone XS Max is guaranteed to get Security updates and OS updates for the next 4 years, while the Note9 will probably only get updates for the next year and a half at the most. The iPhone XS Max will still be fast in 4 years because Apple barely take full advantage of the A12 Bionic chip, most games and apps are still more geared towards the older A10 chip, so as time goes by we will see the A12 being put to more use, we should see the XS Max get faster and faster with each iOS update. The Galaxy Note9 is old and will not receive much more updates after next year, the Galaxy S10+ will probably only get updates for about 2 years as well and will probably get slower and more buggy as time goes by. Get the XS Max and you will not need to get a new phone for at least 4 years, it may even be longer.

  • Go for.S10 plus its matchless

  • Of-course iPhone xs max !

  • Well if your looking for a fast Smart Phone, no doubt that Iphone is faster that Samsung, i have note 9 and Iphone 8plus, the samsung always gives me small lags and big aswell, but my iphone never fails me, had mine for 1 year and 7months now but until now its still the same performance that it gives me when i first had it. So i suggest go with Iphone XS Max

  • Hi guys, so I'm caught between choosing the iPhone XS max and the note 9. Been an android user all my life and used the note 5 for 3 years straight without using a launcher. I'm all about functionality and smoothness than customization and money isn't the problem. I just need something that will still be fast in the next 3 years and still have an acceptable resale cost. Which do I go For?

  • It is a common problem here in Bangladesh. I do have same issues. Sometimes calls are dropped and showing system failure. I guess this problem remains with intel modems. Other Android phones that I am using like Oneplus never had such issues.

  • My Phone iPhone XS Max When I Talk, Call drop is done, I did not hear for some seconds. I changed the 3G SIM to 4G SIM there is no profit, I brought it from London and I am using Faridpur (Bangladesh), nobody can help me.

  • True, also android users since samsung jet and so on....also sony xperia z and so on...... always criticizing iPhone with small battery and single core cpu..... i started se, and was amazed with the performance till iPhone x at present. Nothing to regret as iPhone users.

  • The Galaxy S II is beyond obsolete, that phone has awful specifications for today’s standards. Plus, most people dont even use custom ROMs.

  • No phone is waterproof. :|

  • Its an issue with no solution other than going to android.

  • this phone is not waterproof and its if you front Camera bluer than you phone go to shitttttttttt

  • True

  • I'll for its price to be lowered coz its current price now, You can even buy a brand new smart T.V for it

  • I'm in a lot of trouble with my set, call drop is too much, please help me

  • Meanwhile the trees are cut off, the top of this phone is cut of lol

  • If you think like this, why are you here? Go to S10+ and write this!

  • I’ve been an all time Android user from galaxy s1 to LG to Sony Z2 to note 4 to Huawei mate 8 to samsung S9 + , and 2 years ago I bought a used iPhone 7 Plus 128 for 680$ And this is what I can say. First I thought that I cannot use an iPhone cause it’s limited and many things are missing, but after a while and especially when updated to ios 10 11 and 12 the phone got everything I need. What is exclusive is the apps that are well crafted and work smoothly on an iPhones , the speed that it’s the same as if I bought it today , iMessage, Apple music are great as well as the facetime. You will not know the difference until you buy an iPhone , I was a big defender of Android ( which is good also) but now I prefer the iPhone, after 2 years I can sell my phone for 450$ so if I need to upgrade to xs I need to pay 750$ for a phone that lasts at least 3 years, however if I have an s7 ( which was released at the same time) I need to pay 850 to 900$ to get s10+ so it’s almost the same Whay I miss in Android is: customisations especially ring tones and alerts

  • S10+ number 1!

  • Please my FaceTime has been restricted. Any help to restore it back to use

  • Not at all limited and iOS 13 is bringing more :D

  • My sister bought gold one 256GB version. She likes it very much. I'm not iPhone fan as I've used Android all the time. But I will give iPhone a try. Will wait until 2020.

  • Price drops after iPhone 11 launched???

  • Well,those are jokes from fan of Chinese brand....

  • is this a pure statement from a hardcore chinese phone fan, or just a joke...guys please confirm this so i can laugh

  • Lol, I have a P30 Pro as well, last I checked that absolutely obliterated your old crappy Mate 10 Pro. Level up dude. XS Max is anything but limited and Google pay Apple BILLIONS to stay on iPhone, last I checked your precious Mate 10 Pro ,May ..

  • it's very limited, stop lying

  • A bit of improvement in the battery is what i like but trust me Huawei is giving them a good fight.

  • Lol, I have a P30 Pro as well, last I checked that absolutely obliterated your old crappy Mate 10 Pro. Level up dude. XS Max is anything but limited and Google pay Apple BILLIONS to stay on iPhone, last I checked your precious Mate 10 Pro ,May lose Google access. Haha!

  • Pubg players need high refresh rate of 120 hz n 120 hz touch response n above n pressure buttons trigger. I want that features

  • Bendgate strikes back without 3.5mm headphone jack.

  • Go to Phone - click on the little i of the number want to block and simply select Block this Caller

  • How can we block unknown incoming calls? Thanks in advanced

  • Circumstances change.

  • This is great phone

  • Google it oe check on youtube itll be easier

  • why did you buy it then? surely if you needed the money you wouldnt of brought a £1200 phone

  • Personally i dont think theyll be giving you a refund just because you let a review on a site. maybe explain what the main issue is instead of begging for your money back

  • battery drain soon and slow ......so I need refund

  • I needed money fast, so I had to sell it.

  • What???? Limited phone? With xs max? Maybe, android, google, YouTube, windows will no longer support the China smartphone brand. Maybe your phone is good for taking pictures, texting and calling. And, that’s a sad news.

  • why what happen to your iphone?

  • Enjoy! :) I wish I still had mine.

  • haha you have a limited phone. u can't take photo of moon, no long exposure time. your phone is all about take standard photo.nothing more. :)) love my mate 10 pro.

  • Got my gorgeous iPhone X S Max 256GB in Space Grey today and absolutely loving it! :D

  • Me

  • I think your android iphone is not getting any update better you buy a genuine iohone or if you want android pie you should buy a genuine upgradable android device. (You ask google if you can install windows XP in your "iphone")

  • This phone is already upgraded from pie. You are the best comedy piece.

  • I think galaxy s2 is obsolete and useless to upgrade its os. It’s chipset is no longer compatible with pie. Maybe can call and text. Maybe also goo for browsing, other than that. I don’t know.

  • oh man, not even close. Qualcomm is roughly 2 years behind Apple in SoC. On other hand Qualcomm is a world leader in 5G hardware.

  • The benefit of android is, even galaxy s2 from 2011 can upgrade to android pie with custom roms. Its not official rom from oem but it work. So android don’t need to wait oem to provide new os. Developers are good alternative.

  • Funny. Ha ha ha..... you bought a fake iPhone. Don’t expect you’ll get update from android with a fake phone

  • that's the indicator of a quality smartphone. It's so good you keep it for 5 years+. Performance upgrade after 2 years doesn't justify high costs. Performance difference after 5+ years will.

  • apple uses i0s 12 not android pie so you will not be getting any updates until ios 13.

  • Why my Iphone XS Max cannot upgrade to the latest pie update. I already try Googling around fir 7hour still can't upgrade this phone to Pie 9.0 :(

  • Me.

  • That may be the case. But who is gonna keep their phone for 7 years?

  • This what happens when you can't differentiate between a fake and an original and that's just sad. C'mon man this is the 21st century, at least do some research before you post '3 hours of battery life'.

  • Yeah. But you get ios updates for several years. Like iPhone 5s, the ios is still updated from 2012 to 2019 or maybe till 2020. Which you cannot get support in android.

  • Seems like someone who have used samsung device in 2013. Upgrade your samsung phone, you'll know they are as good as iphone. Not gonna prefer any system because i use both ios and android. But to be honest these days both are good, depends upon which eco-system you are into.

  • These are the issues you have with a fake Samsung or a Samsung Core Prime

  • everything he said is not true

  • even my friend's s10 doesnt have troubles like you said, stop exaggerating things that never happened

  • That's what happen if you own a fake Samsung.

  • everything that you said it's not true you even don't own s10 plus, s10 plus display is the best display yet so far. fast great battery whats the matter with you

  • Im enjoying using iphone xsmax. Please suggest me how to record voice calls?

  • Yess!

  • Snapdragon 855 is likely a better chipset than Apple A12 Bionic, but many Samsung phones are not using it and Huawei is not using at all, they are using their own cheap chipset instead which makes Android look laggy...

  • Chipset is definitely not better on Android, overall performance is not better on Android(read even here the comparison they made between XR and S10e, the iPhone is still more responsive and better an multitasking management), support is better on iPhone, handling is arguably better on the iPhone, only the camera department lags behind by at least 6 months on the iPhone.

  • no.!!!!

  • Really I thought Samsung was reliable u have 7plus at the moment

  • Your opinion depends on the android phone you operated on in the past. I'll admit ios is very good in terms of optimisation but most android oem's are catching up. Take example, the likes of oneplus. I dropped Samsung, LG etc then switched to oneplus 6 mainly cos it offers the same feel as ios and I can attest I've never had any random lag or crashes.

  • After the hell I've gone through with my new Samdung Galaxy S10+ - Battery life is horrible 3 hours - Screen flickeron wake up and app switch - Extreme Lag on even WhatsApp - Overheating - unreliable display fingerprint sensor (very) - Bad display color I recommend the great iPhone XS MAX to everyone and anyone looking to invest in a phone that will work well and receive support for years.

  • Another thing, my phone keeps losing signal and dropping calls. Ive realised thats cos they use the inferior INTEL chips, never had this problem on mY samsung S7 cos they use the Quallcom chips. COME on apple, pay the fees!

  • 100% it sucks. Ive had mine for 6 months, havent downloaded any apps on it and it is so slow and lags so much. the screen keeps flickering cos Apple cant optimise the OLED screen and goes down to around 20% battery after 2 hours of use. Horrible. Gonna upgrade to the Note 9 or S10 plus.

  • It means I agree with you that the iPhone Xs max is the best smartphone. My Galaxy s10+ is already very slow and lagging. The battery dies only after about 3 hours of use. The screen flickers on wake or switching apps. The display fingerprint is horribly unreliable. The iPhone is clearly the best

  • This is the best phone in the world! My Samsung S10+ is so slow and lagging now and screen is flickering with imbalance no matter the settings. Apple products are the best. Im sure they are researching to improve their foldable so it won't be a failure like the Samdung rip off

  • What is that supposed to mean

  • I concur

  • But it still sucks

  • There are options to Jail break...

  • Its time for Iphone SE 2. People are now hungry for compact phones.

  • When you compare this phone with Android phones like Huawei and Samsung of the similar price and you look at places like display, camera, chipset and battery android is better, which means Android is pretty much better overall. IPhone is just too overpriced and ios makes me feel like they locking me up in jail.

  • Best performance? Please.. Get real... Lol Speed test kids

  • Actually I need to modify my comment below. Upon looking at the specs I just sent, I can see how one might discern the two phones are on par with one another.....if you had no idea about what the performance of each. Below are the performance tests...on each the higher the score, the better. GeekBench 3(single-core): Tests the speed of the single custom CPU core Samsung S7 Edge: 2158(Exynos 8890) IPhone XS Max: 4777 GeekBench 3(multi-core): Tests the speed of all 8 cores Samsung S7 Edge: 6630 IPhone XS Max: 11432 Antutu 6: 129629 Tell all test on performance of CPU, GPU, RAM Samsung S7 Edge: 129629 IPhone XS Max: 353210 GFX 3.1 Manhattan: Tests graphics Samsung S7 Edge: 29 IPhone XS Max: 99 GFX 3.1 Manhattan(onscreen): Tests onscreen resolution Samsung S7 Edge: 15 IPhone XS Max: 60 I don't know anything about cameras. I see that both are 12MP, but put against the Galaxy Note 9, the IPhone XS Max edged it out in most categories. It therefore can be assumed that the Note 9 improved on the Samsung S7 Edge's camera thus giving the IPhone XS Max the edge in the camera category as well. The only thing that is superior on the S7 Edge is the battery life.

  • Akuma, How can you advise the individual wanting to know if they should buy the XS Max or the Galaxy S6 that the Galaxy S7 is on par with the XS Max???? The comparison below even gives the assumption that you go with the premium S7 Edge for that year. The S7 was a good phone for that year...and you can get it for around $150 U.S....but it is not on par with this phone!!!

  • yes the phone is pricey but if you are planning to keep the phone that is well optimized through the years, yes the iphone is having an advantages compare to android. mostly android phones having updates more or less than 2 years only. If you are seeking for its updated software, then you can install those custom rom which sometimes causing problems if you are not that knowledgeable. compare to the price of some high end android phone with less years of optimization, the price of old optimized iphone can justify its brand new retail price. #respect#peace#love

  • And yes, we just finding that based on what we want.....!

  • I agree.

  • People are fed up of Status Symbol, Fading into Remorse. Getting 7+ used for 450$ ammaculate condition, downgrades original boxed buyers. VIP status is gone.

  • They are towing the path of vertu

  • Let me just ask... From which Samsung model did you switch?

  • i have come from android (samsung) and switch to iphone xs max and surprisingly I can say that ios is better than android. Playing games are more enjoyable due to optimization they are always improving for their users,from old to the latest iphones. I loved the simplicity and fluidity of its performance plus you don't need those pixels found on android for a small device that many of android users are boasting about. You should not be easily brainwash by those some paid reviews but it is better to experience it in actual. Those who are not an iphone user should stop criticizing and keep their mouth shut, because in the end, we are choosing our phones based on our personal preferences.

  • Iphones have good quality but there is just a really huge gap between the production cost and the selling price. I mean I might be wrong but an iPhone xs max most likely doesn't cost close to 1000 euros to manufacture. Imo it's a bad idea to have such a huge production cost and selling price gap. Because another phone with similar quality and similar production cost might appear on the market, but with a much lower selling price, and just kill our the previous phone. It has kinda already happened with many Android phones at low cost but good quality. THAT is why Apple is dying. It already is, it's stocks are dropping rapidly. Unless they cut down on the high prices and make even better phones, they are gonna end up in the grave with Nokia and Blackberry. They'd be forgotten and abandoned in a few years time if they keep raising prices.

  • Iphone is the best smartphone in the world. Has been and will surely continue to be. No argue here. angry android kids get your facts right. when android will learn to do multi-tasking for real (google what that means), we'll speak. p.s. multi task - the ability of ACTUALLY DOING multiple things at the same time. having more than one app open is NOT multi-task. and yes, you need 98 GB RAM on android. in order for phone to even start. on iOS....4 GB ram on linux is heaven peace out

  • Apple does not make their own displays They only made 1242p screen to keep production cost lower and make more profit

  • Yes so right about android's reliability. I've had troubles with my notes' series. One after another. I've had the note 8 for not more than 3 months and LCD had dead spots. Warranty yes. After a year and a half after warranty...kongs out. Cost to repair...$300. My previous note same thing....all problems.

  • Well if someone uses maybe a Nokia 1 or Samsung J3 "016 it might lag, but the premium ones are awesome!

  • 1. Take Facebook off your Android phone. It'll run just fine. 2. Google needs to limit the number of devices they support. 3. App development on Crapple is more strict.

  • You must have had a bad experience yourself, maybe it's the device you used? I've been using HTC for about 10 years now and I don't have a single complaint. In fact, all of my old HTC devices are still working to this very day!

  • I've been to both sides to. Yes, Android does give you the freedom to do anything with the phone. That's how the Android OS has come to life. But, reliability is a huge factor compared to iPhones. Android has random lags and crashes especially when the time you need it the most. That has made me stick to iPhone till date. It has never caused me issues especially in crucial times. I go to reliability above else.

  • The 5c came out same time is still stuck on ios 10.3

  • I have to admit defeat. you are spot on sir.

  • I absolutely 100% agree

  • Again, I agree with you 100%, Apple makes phones they support for up to 7 years like the iphone 5c. They are simply the best!

  • I totally agree

  • Apple is the most reliable manufacturer ever, still updating iphone from 7 years ago. No wonder people consider it an investment to buy their products.

  • I Agree totally. The iphone Xs Max is the best phone ever made.

  • Agreed.

  • I am not an expert on how this phone works, but I can confirm that it is impossible to display a video in 1440p on a 1242p screen

  • Best smartphone EVER!

  • Excellent practice!

  • Very true!

  • I think Apple rather just took a cheaper 1080p screen instead of 1440p and then added some pixels so that people are deceived to believe it is a good or expensive screen on the first look

  • I was wondering the same thing. iPhone screens might finally be OLED but they dont have the tech to optimise it correctly that's why it can't support it. I think they did try 1440 but it kept enduring screen burn during testing. Plus iPhone users keep their phones for 4 or 5 years as they cant afford to upgrade every 2 years. Very sad

  • The iPhone XS Max screen is 1242p. How do you want to play a 1440p video on a 1242p screen? It is not possible to play a video in 1440p on a 1242p resolution screen, the same as it is not possible to play 4K video on a 720p screen

  • At the end of the day, "overpriced" is a relative term. Just because you can't afford something doesn't mean it's overpriced. The market dictates, and if iphones were overpriced they wouldn't command the market share and have over 700m users worldwide. They would've fallen to the wayside with companies like Sony & LG.

  • iPhone 5s came out in 2013 and is upgradable to iOS 12.1.4.

  • Its not a screen issue BUT a Codec issue (You should research it.) As it stands Google enforces its Codec specs on any OEM and Apple won't accept that. Its the same on Safari, Firefox except Chrome (Which is owned by Google)

  • Oh! its not an argument. Its my opinion from my experience with phones I own and use. If yours differ, its ok. Apple iPhone Xs Max is the best overall phone for me as a business user and for leisure; video watching, ebooks, photos, magazines, social media, etc. And the Huawei Mate 20X is the best Android phone with the Kirin and the new cooling technology. Also with the feature rich M Pen

  • iPhones are not able to show stuff in 1440p. They do not have enough pixels for it. Has nothing to do with YouTube. Maybe sometimes it was or is possible to select 1440p on an iPhone in YouTube but thats just the device lying to you. It is not real 1440p. Looking at performance of Android phones right now, Snapdragon 855 phones have the best performance. So no, its not a Huawei phone.

  • Like I said, its a Youtube / Google issue, NOT the iPhone; This is even as far back as the old X. Its all about preference and mine is the Apple iPhone Xs Max for both business and leisure (performs brilliantly on both). An Android with close (but not an ecosystem) performance would be the Huawei Mate 20X (Good value for money and the best in the Android world)

  • The iPhone Xs Max is exceptional for me and the best phone for business and leisure; For emails, on the iPhone, the Apple Mail App gives ne Push option on all my emails (including Outlook, Gmail and Company email accounts). On my other phones, I've had to install the Blackberry Hub+ Service App Subscription to get an experience close to this at $12/year (which works like a charm on the Huawei Mate 20X and very frustrating on the Note 8 due to its lag and not syncing except why you open the App mostly) The emails are also in sync on my Macbook Air (2018, Touch ID) and iPad Pro. I can also start emails on the laptop and continue on the tablet and conclude on the phone. Google My Business (which I use a lot) is more robust on the Apple platform than on the Android phones (its better optimized and has more options) The best part for me is that with the iCloud sync covering the Keychain, I can register on multiple SEO sites, business listings and Apple automatically suggests, creates and saves the passwords for me. This is the same with cPanel options of my websites. This feature helps a lot when managing multiple businesses and accounts - The platform does all the work for me and most important is the security it offers for my details, banking and business data. The part for leisure for me is mostly in the camera and video features; selfies are the best I've experienced on any phone and the rear camera does a whole lot for me especially in snapping and posting properties and real estate - the beauty here is that the same pictures or videos are auto-present on your ipad pro or macbook for proper editing. In all, its all about the efficiency and value the iPhone offers and even more about the overall performance of the Apple Platform which integrates the iOS, MacOS and AI. The Apple IDs can also be shared for a family or corporate eatablishment with a linked iCloud account as well. I highly recommend this platform for any business user searching for a total solution that works seamlessly (like an online office) The same effects you can still get on the earlier iphones, ipads and macbooks. I hope they give us 2 things; 1. Foldable phone with folded option of 6.5" minimum and unfolded option of 7.9" with the same aspect ratio as the iPad mini AND supports Apple Pencil. 2. Dual App inbuilt capability (But still secure) on the phones (wether its dual SIM or single SIM)

  • They actually dont cos their support stoped6on iPhone 5s which is 4 years ago

  • The s6 wont be as good but the s7 is on par with the xs max

  • I can still watch 1440p YouTube on Xperia XZ3, not really sure what the problem at your end is

  • Watching 4k videos on the brilliant screen by Samsung is just summat else. The detail is second to none, I compared the s10 plus to my xs max and it really is so much sharper.

  • Youtube removed the 1440p option for some weird reason. It won't work on my Note 8 or Mate 20X even though they all support it. I'm wondering why youtube did that

  • iPhones are massively overpriced. There is really no point arguing. iPhone XS Max has a massive price tag yet you cant even watch actual 1440p YouTube because the screen is uncapable of displaying it. Its kinda hilarious to be honest.

  • Should I buy this or Samsung S6?

  • Of course! Raw value for money and worth every penny paid for it. This goes for iPhones generally. The thing is that lots of people are obsessed with it BUT can't afford it, so in order to console themselves, they throw all those hate terms. Most haven't even seen an iPhone or this Xs Max except on youtube.. yet they claim they "owned" it and "returned" it and "bought" a Samsung.. LOL

  • I dont understand why people comment abt samsung where this is iphone platform. Please dont confuse others. Regards

  • The best all round and value for money - worth every penny

  • iPhones aren't overpriced when you consider that you're buying a mini-computer with a CPU that surpasses a Skylake generation Intel chipset and access to long-term support & software updates. There are six year-old iPhones that have got the latest iOS and still hold up pretty well.

  • wow, best comment ever.

  • The iphone XS Max is a true IT phone, anyone using the "Shortcuts" for pre-programming home appliances and even garage doors?

  • As expected, the S10 sales are even way lower than that of their weak S9 last year. Consumers are waking up to reality; Huawei is the best option for Android

  • So simple and so secure, the ecosystem is very easy to navigate. No wonder the S10 range broke records this year. Apple are 2 years behind in phones especially.

  • That notch is so annoying and the OLED display suffers from serious burn in as Apple haven't optimised the screen fully (they have a lot to learn, as they are used to LCD displays). Also their security is so flawed as how come icloud keeps getting hacked. The XS Max is the same phone as the X. Huawei and Samsung are so ahead it's a joke now. 5 years Apple will be like Nokia. Once the best now just limping in

  • It literally is about the XS. Read it again

  • im certain your comment isnt about the apple iphone xs max or any iphone.

  • wait till apple brings out another flagship phone and kills this , besides XS max is already outdated in the smartphone market e.g the camera unit is only 2 almost any phone above 200 USD have 2 camera , the battery is small compared to other phones will are more cheaper sorry mate but this isnt the "best" phone sadly :/

  • xs lag

  • Precisely! And apart from the burn-in problem with samsung amoled, personally it hurts my eyes after just a few minutes. Apple perfected it. Huawei remains best value and quality for money as far as Android is concerned.

  • There is nothing wrong with Galaxy Note 9 or Huawei Mate 20pro. I was a die hard Android user. But now that iPhone XS Max has a normal screen size I switched to iPhone and overall it’s smoother than Samsung and cleaner than Android. After using this phone I cannot see myself going back to Android , except maybe a large Huawei phone , like mate 20 or mate 20x. Huawei is definitely smoothet than Samsung! - iPhone XS Max has the most perfect design! There is nothing wrong with having this beautiful notch! - No ugly curved screens and very even bazels make this phone look fantastic - Apple took a Samsung’s OLED display for this phone and reduced the OLED saturation and increased the brightness. It’s a very smart move in order for OLED display not to burn out fast under a heavy use. Every over saturated OLED display on a smart phone starts showing burn in shadows just after 6 month of heavy use. - Very smooth IOS! -Typing and autocorrection the best in class!

  • i own the xs max, the mate 20x with the m pen and the note 8. the xs max is part of my work platform which is apple ecosystem. the mate 20x for android makes the samsung irrelevant in everyway. and i know this may be argued but samsung cameras are average

  • I agree with you to some extent. More than excellent battery life Very looouuuudddd SPEAKERS Even the performance in most areas still beats this Galaxy s10 series, hands down. The only thing that put me off is their so called Nano Memory Cards and no Notification LED It seems APPLE and SAMSUNG have just decided not to give ear to their consumers, I don't understand why you'll design these expensive phones with such colourful displays, with these huge bump in ram and storage, and decide to put this SMALL BATTERIES in them.

  • Fake post... get a life.. S10+ is the best at the moments.

  • Go for it! Its all you wished your XS would have been to be perfect. For Android, the best of the best remains the HUAWEI MATE 20X

  • Greetings guys. I sold my XS since i needed a dual sim phone. I switched to S10+, everything is perfect except battery time. Could someone advise how's the battery backup of XS Max? Planning to import dual sim XS max as this battery issue is bugging me big time.

  • My upgrade as explained earlier is well worth it and would recommend it to anyone coming from the 6s+, 7+ or 8+. The thing about Apple is that once a bug is noticed or complained about in forums, they release a fix for it right away. That said, even the 6s+ will be great for another 2 years minimum. I don't have ANY of those issues on my iPhone XS MAX. Its the best iPhone.

  • I'm using it on Airtel and have consistent 4G. Typically if Apple has these sort of issues, they release a software fix immediately its brought to their attention. Like I said, I don't have that problem AT ALL!

  • Go to 15m 50s . Also watch this : And if you'll go to iphone user forum , tens of thousands of owners of Xs(Max) reported the same problem . I was ready to buy this phone in Oct.2018 , but after i saw all of these, i've decided to stick with my iphone 8+

  • Yes

  • so much time huh

  • I upgraded from a 6S Plus. The 6s Plus still holds up by all means in terms of speed, performance, screen, form factor and everything including running the latest ios till date. But I'm really impressed with the Xs Max, build quality, screen, speed (lightening fast) and then the cameras too. In all its a worthy upgrade BUT like I said, the 6S Plus would still be great for another 2 years at least. Apple is simply the Best

  • So you don't have an iphone Xs Max. Mine has excellent 4G on Airtel and better signal than the Note 8

  • Your Xs Max is just a photocamera , not a phone since, in the last 6 years, no flagship regardless of brand didn't performed so so poor at gsm signal . I own an iphone 8+ and my brother has an Xs Max. we are using the same cellular services from the same company and at my iphone 8+ i can see all the time " 4G " , but, at my brother's Xs max you can see so rare "4G " , most of the time is on " 3g " or "H+" , and it has only a bar or two on cellular strenghtness .

  • Hope you ate ready with $2000 in 3 months time for Galaxy s11 ... by which time the s10 will be "very much laggy" Lol!!

  • Didn't have S4, the S10 plus is a game changer like "Everything Apple Pro" has declared. The SE is even laggier, throw it in the trash lol. Don't worry the IPhone XST might be a bit different from the X and the XS from last 2 yeasr and price will go upto £1500. Have fun with your business ecosystem which is snapchat. LOL

  • "My iphone SE" and my IPhone Xs Max work just the same; snappy and well optimized and also running the latest ios. I'm not sure I can say that about the Galaxy S4 and Galaxy S10 - in terms of software updates and performances. In the next 5 months, the S10 we be "so much laggy" and of course, dear Samsung will come to your rescue with the S11 .... Lol!! (and the cycle continues for people like you that "work in phones")...Lol

  • Precisely! ... Lol So when are you "buying" your Galaxy s10 plus? Since the iPhone XS Max is "So much laggy"

  • You are still replying? your iphone SE is connected to your ipad? and your macbook? wow! And you use your phone for Snapchat? I use it for so much more, and even YouTubers like "everything apple pro" have upgraded to the s10 plus. lol

  • And you are the only one posing as "Akuma", "DDD", "ATM", etc talking bad about this phone and talking good about Galaxy s10 Plus - if you like it so much, why waste your time here being "Everybody"? why not go and "buy" the S10 Plus? This is one of the best phones ever made and even better is the ecosystem its part of. We don't all use our phones for music and changing wallpapers... Lol!

  • Not really, The andoird experience is so much better. More updates, secure ecosystem, every links in including to smart tvs, free music. You are only guy replying to everyone? Are you a bot paid by apple?

  • Lol!.. nice try ... You really should quit using different nicknames as the detected location from your posts remains the same ... Lol! Be smart. The truth about a phone one has is what one experiences in ones use of it; The iPhone XS MAX is excellent value for money as its not just a stand alone device ( that gets reduced to a hardware running a free OS plagued with security loopholes, official data mining and undeclared wares) Its part of an ecosystem that offers the ultimate communications platform, secure, efficient, reliable and consistently of value. They may be slow to push out new Technologies based on their own estimations (some good and some bad) BUT eventually they come through and its what it is. The benefits of an iphone (and the Apple platform) in business or personal use is beyond what can be explained. Its not about a flashy hardware or some dead pixels on a screen, its about the value it offers. By the way, if you hate it so much, why waste your time on this page?

  • Who do some posters act like they own certain brands. ANYONE can buy a phone, some people get so irritated because their phone is getting the truth spoken about it.

  • atm now ddd ... lol

  • Xs max laggy too much. Which phone to buy???

  • You don't own one. Very clear from your response. But anyways, why complain so much? If you are buying a Huawei or Samsung, just go ahead - some people have both platforms and know why they keep them. Make your choice and go for it IF you can or could afford one, since you "work in phones"

  • I dont care what you doubt, the XS Max is very laggy. I work in phones so we get new phones sent to us all the time. 90% of the people here have androids I have always had an iPhone from the 4S to the XS Max. But time and again the phones slow down, and Huawei and Samsung always innovating, and apple are falling behind.

  • I doubt you or the "previous poster" have ever used even a 7 plus let alone owning an Xs Max. But like I said to you and your co. Its yout $$, you can buy whatever you want with it. Xs Max is better value for money for me because it complements an ecosystem. The others are just handsets that don't have any value besides a mobile hardware running Android. Enjoy you S10 plus

  • Like I said earlier, ( and the previous poster), my XS Max has also started to lag. S10 plus is the way forward, so much tech and quality.

  • But its your $ you can buy a Vertu Signature S if you like ... compared to the Iphone

  • Like I said earlier, I doubt that very much (from my Experience on the Apple platform)

  • My XS Max has slowed down as well, gonna upgrade to the S10 PLUS. iPhones are notorious for slowing down.

  • I doubt that very much! Its still as snappy as when released while 3 months down the line, the S10 plus would be having the usual lagging problem associated With the Android platform, except for Huawei - especially their Mate 20 series line-up.

  • Specs are platform dependent. ios is well optimized for its hardware while in the case of android, the hardware manufacturer has to make hardware to catch up with the sofware Google rolls out. You would probably need 12Gb RAM on Android to match a 3Gb RAM Apple iPhone, even at that, over another 3 to 6 months running the same test will show a considerably slowed down Android counterpart while the Apple IPhone remains at optimal performance. They belong to two different worlds.

  • Should be XS Lag. So slow compared to the s10 plus.

  • But apple is actual garbage when it comes to having good specs or features for the price

  • Of course! Everyone is free to advise for and against based on how they see it. I personally find iPhones and Apple products better value for money than the android counterparts mainly because it stops at the handset while with Apple it goes beyond that to the laptop and desktop - a complete platform.

  • The truth is that Apple is a whole different league. Its not really about the hardware, its the ecosystem and how it works for you! I use my communication devices for my businesses and I can tell you that the APPLE platform is my office while the android serves as reach-out for chats and Google My Business. The main thing Apple lacks in this reach-out department is Dual Sim and Dual Apps. It makes it difficult to manage businesses on a single sim/app scenario.

  • I think you failed to mentioned you can get an equally good and equally durable phone for cheaper. Google’s and Android One even have more frequent updates than iOS. If it were a matter of paying more for a better product it’d be indeed a weird complaint, except it’s not better. But since you’re a fan of people being free to do whatever they want, you realize people are equally free to advise against over priced products.

  • You mean best iphone ever madev There are better phones in the market with cheaper prices

  • May i know wht is the screen on time battery if ure using mobile data usage the whole day?

  • 100%

  • What do u mean ??

  • Bought this phone yesterday. It’s just amazing. Feels a bit heavy in hand. Camera is fantastic and performance is so snappy. I can say truly , this is the best phone ever made.

  • Well I can say to this is.. The Battery Life and Camera is a Big SHIT so I'm not fond of suing this Iphones because in terms of Functionality.. They truly sucks! Better swtich to Huawei Mate 20 Pro ;)

  • At leat till iOS 17, 18 or 19 maybe even 20

  • Maybe by 2027

  • On what version of iOS will stop supporting this phone in the future?

  • turn ur phone off an on

  • Im just here to comment for those who are still in confusion whether to go for auch an expensive phone or not? I was in similar situation a week ago for months and watching videos on youtube and doing research stuff blah blah.. however ultimately i bought it and believe me once u get it for urself u wont regret buying it though expensive cos its a hell of difference in watching videos and using it for urself u wod surely love every bit of it as im extremely satsified with its performance , build quality and battery. So dont think all those who r awaiting or ina state of confusion and go for it. Good luck!

  • I can't write in contact search as key board vanish from there only ? how can resolve the problem?

  • Apple realized that an iphone will last you a solid few years if you take care of it, thanks to the regular software updates and support. That's why they charge 'outrageous' prices for these devices.

  • Sai, kindly reply my qyestions on the Apple iPad Mini 4 opinion section. Thanks

  • Bruh apple sucks and we all know it they are expensive and the software inside is weak my dads $200 phone is better than this expensive piece of crap go get androids they are wayyy better I’ve also been an apple user iPhone 6s it sucked main reason is because whenever you are gaming on it, it dies so quick than I upgraded to a android and the battery haven’t even died yet Move to android to save money and have a better phone

  • I love to see how people worry about other people's wallet and advice "dont go for iOS, save a hundred $ and get Samsung instead!". My faith in humanity is restored. Unless... there are other, more prosaic motives to it? Anyway, its a device most people use for 2-3... 5 years. We all throw way more money during those years on much more trivial stuff than device that does so much nowdays and is substitute for several other devices. Don't get me wrong - i despise what Apple is doing with price increase. But than again, others are following. There is no real hero of this story. They are all greedy corporations, and if they could charge you 2500$ for a phone, believe it - they would. Only reason why Apple can do it first is because they have no direct competition like Android does. If you want iOS, buy Apple. If you want Android, there is tons of choice out there. And that is ONLY reason why Apple will always be a bit more expensive than even best Android. Now, are those 100$ difference over three years big deal, everyone will judge for themselves.

  • You got it correct! Been an iOS user for more than 5 years already and it never failed me. It's very straight forward. Nice camera with no filters :D I love it very much :)

  • Faster, more efficient performance, lastability, iMessage, facetime, and regular updates are just a few of the reasons.

  • Its nice phone am using this from november 2018 and its has big display and good thing is apple is virus free I used alot of andriod phones of different companies I recomend this

  • The best thing about any iphone is iMessage end of..

  • The iPhone is just expensive simply because of its branding..

  • apple is behind samsung and huawei because the simple things on mobile does not support example dont support dual sim on their phones they have esim that support only 10 countries even on the apple watch the ecg apll only in 3 countries.if they continue like that they will go more down than ever.the only good that keep the company to the top is the icloud and the their own software.if the two companies copy that make their own clouds and android for samsung and huawei that will be the grave of apple

  • The only good thing about this device is Apple A12 Bionic... everything else is just plain average, including very poor software

  • Expensive for nothing looking at brands like samsung,huawei,one plus phones are way much better and cheaper just overrated for nothing

  • HI , LOOK SAMSUNG IS growing day by day ,, why u r too much costly ?? research and build new phones like samsung m 20 , below 15000/- inr ,, thanks

  • Hi friends! I bought this phone 10 days ago. It s amazing but It s too heavy and harasses your wrist! and it s too expensive!

  • iPhone xs is not the best in the world there is plenty of better android smartphones : Samsung s9, Huawei maye 20 ...

  • Apple has most overpriced phones ever 'does less cost more' apple logic

  • android standard is different compared with apple. Just sayin

  • To all who's been bragging about other smartphones is better than an iphone.....guyssss you will never understand the value of an iphone until and when you start using it.I personally was an android user years,but once i switched to iphone,I never want to go back to android.

  • small battery life small ram low camera lens much better to use huawei bigger ram bigger batery life high camera resolution...

  • Used iphone(s) 3,4,5,5s,5se,6,7Plus,10X & now XsMax. The latest is by far the most appealing design; hardware is not the most impressive around ,but it´s the whole integration of IOS and components that in my opinion make it the best. OLED, Facial recognition and A10 vs A11 Bionic made a difference-However, I can not find any sensible, important breakthrough from Apple in this new one, competitors (Android based) is closing the gap fast or getting ahead in some areas. Main camera is losing ground fast... And the price? another whole topic... Apple wake up! Think out of the box...again.We´ll maintain loyal..only if you deserve..Will I buy it again today? for sure....would I recommend it to someone else...depend on your needs and budget..

  • Apple best smartphones ever

  • This phone is a big step up from my iPhone X I love the size it’s what I wish my iPhone X was the whole time I had it

  • I just love using this phone

  • I think you have never used an iPhone, or maybe a very old one. Of course you can use third party apps on iPhones. Maybe try the app store? Full with third party apps. Navigation is also amazing. You can use Apple Maps sure, but I use HereWeGo, that is the same navigation that comes in a few Mercedes and Audi cars. It is free, and it works offline, without wifi or data! There are many more navigation apps in the app store. You can delete photos in the Windows file manager with easy either, you dont need iTunes for that. What other files do you want to delete? Just open the file manager of iOs and delete them! Are you sure you ever used an iPhone?

  • Recently Most innovative thing in the flagship phones. ios: Headphone jack removal Android: No FM radio

  • As an Apple and Samsung user, I have to say: I am amazed by how fast and smooth the phone is. I was able to run a whole lot of apps without the phone overheating or giving me reasons to be upset. Amazing device. The only thing I am disappointed was the fact that it does not have the same NFC technology as Sammy, which means I could use Apple Pay everywhere, like I do with "Samsung Pay" But is it undoubtedly a true competitor to other brands.

  • Best phone i've ever had! And my first iPhone. This makes me wonder if staying faithfully for 9 years with Android was good decision. 10/10

  • am just waiting for iPhone 11 because am getting rid with xs max. The best phone in the world.

  • Stock android is faster than heavy android with lots of bloatware.

  • EMUI better than iOS ??? Nahh. I prefer Samsung's 2013 bloat than a Mate 20 Pro with EMUI (i cant even root it).

  • Android is Always a better software than ios even with emui

  • So you are using NVIDIA Shield Tv for making phone calls

  • My employer gave me an iPhone XS Max for corporate use only. My wife has a XR and I own an iPhone 8 Plus. By far the 16x9 8 Plus has the best viewing proportion and is as fast and troubleless as the other two. What a pity 16x9 top phones are not available.

  • Actually the NVIDIA Shield TV is getting a lot of software updates, and the budget 2013 Motorola Moto G is getting 2019 January security patch soon after tons of software updates too. There are more but I'm not going to get into more detail.

  • I use to be an apple user. Apple is proprietary. You cant use 3rd party applications with iPhones. Hard to navigate. You have to use iTunes for everything you do on the dang phone. Android is drag and drop. Plug it in to your pc and remove or files. No iTunes. Been on both sides of the fence. My opinion. Apple sucks.

  • So you want to hear a joke, okay; Android gets more than 5 software updates

  • Never heard such funny things like this

  • I’m good, remember that sweet little fight regarding samsung vs apple , it’s nice to see you here

  • yes it is mehow are u

  • Hey Elie is that you from galaxy A5 ?

  • Well Said, for longer life and Long usage Apple Phones are best

  • I was thinking if I should buy this phone, but I decided to buy a house and a car instead

  • Is the camera good?

  • Out of this world comparing oppo to xs max. Something wrong with your.........

  • maybe that's your opinion, but in my opinion, Oppo Find X looks ugly as hell. What are you gonna do now?

  • *cough* similarly priced McLaren Edition with 10GB lost against 4GB Xs Max *cough*

  • Hell no, that phone will get like 1 year of software updates, and he/she plans on keeping it for a long time, then there is no other option than an iPhone. Also, Huawei or Honor phones have a horrible software experiences, and software is just as important as hardware, so I would not recommend to buy it INSTEAD of the iPhone XS Max

  • I'd suggest you to just try it, but doesn't have to be an iPhone XS Max. That phone is amazing for sure, but an 8+ is like half the price and still very solid, just missing some goodies like bezel less screen and FaceID. Still, it's your decision

  • But I'd still want that Apple logo on my phone than an Oppo on it.

  • Try honor note 10 then. With quarter price and amazing specifications

  • go for it cz it is an amazing phone

  • Damn this! if it could just have the same features of Huawei phones this will be a God damn phone.

  • I don't have the actual phone in my hands just yet, but I plan to purchase the phone very soon. I have been reading alot of reviews about the phone, and I must say that I'm very impressed. I love the large screen, and I plan on purchasing the phone in silver, I had seen it on the apple website, and it looks so gorgeous!!! I can hardly wait to try it out, and I believe that this will be my very last and final upgrade for a long time. Apple phones are super!!!!! I will take very good care of it just as I have done so with previous phones that I have had. I realize its a large expense, but I'm willing to take a big chance on this. I just may end up buying the phone at the corporate store here in my hometown.

  • The answer is Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Internal storage 512 GB And can add Micro SD Card up to 512 GB Total of 1 TB of storage + Comes with 8 GB of RAM

  • A phone of 512 gig internal memory , you want card slot in addition? Which fon on earth has this if not iPhone ?

  • it will blow ur mind. it is amazing

  • i am excited to my new iphone xs max

  • just received ios 12.1.3

  • only diff is os

  • Just watch youtube videos for speed test and stop spreading misleading words. Oh another thing, if you don't like iPhone then go to oneplus or whatever brand you like, why are you here?

  • Can it against one plus 6T? No iPhone is a dog

  • Since Android is rapidly overshadowing Apple in the race now, If I had to choose in the present, it would be an iPhone than an Android phone. I NEVER had an iPhone because I was scared to be isolated in the software since its so hard to transfer music, photos, games etc. and you have to connect it to iTunes in a PC to do so(manually ofc). So I was always hesitant to pick an iPhone. I've used LG, Samsung, Sony. But when my brother got his 8 plus iPhone I thought how unfortunate and outdated his phone looks since there exist X and Xs Max but I WAS WRONG! it was so fast and fluid it blows my Current LG phone(flagship btw) away. The software was very optimized and the experience is just like the 5s iPhone(very old) my mom has. I thought mine was so Techy yet his phone practically opens app more accurate and fast WITHOUT LAGS. It has most of the needed things like apps and such I have currently on Android so it was amazing. Android is good but now I have mixed feelings about it now. Camera and audio are on par but Quad DAC and wide angle on my LG is missed. But in exchange for the NO LAGS IN GAME AND APPS?? yes, please. I'm thinking of getting a Xs Max now. And About price? its crazy expensive yet a good investment since it doesn't depreciate in price as fast like Android phones and it last longer( since my mom uses her 5s till now, she's not a fan of tablet-like phones. hahaha) Ps: Solely my opinion and this is a free world so don't come to me with hate. Just Appreciation ofc.

  • Lets see, people in most countries appreciate apple more than any other brands. apple is faster than any android phone, apple has higher resell value than any android phone and iphone xs max is more durable than any android phone in the market. Dont get me wrong I also use android phone as a daily driver but I also use iphone and I really appreciate apple for its brand value

  • are you blind!!!

  • It is expensive, but it doesn't look expensive. In front of Oppo Find X, iPhone XS Max looks ugly as hell.

  • In the smartphone space, Apple shows a lot of fatigue. Comparing 2018 iphones with 2017 iphones, it seems as if these new phones just awoke from a year-long extended sleep. There is nothing 2018 about those new iphones. Apple needs a new CEO. Tim Cook will not make it as the new visionary for Apple. Get Elon Musk.

  • Finally, support for dual SIMs for select markets. Still no support for BDS.

  • about mate 20 pro , I was going to buy it but after the green thing in screen I decide I will not buy it and risk , I will not buy mobile for 1000 USD and risk , so I go for iPhone and to be honest it's very good mobile . and it's always your choice to buy whatever u want

  • Agreed Bro. 100% Correct

  • Get the mate 20 pro it is much cheaper with way more features

  • I can not understand why people waste a lot of money on this phone. Mate 20 pro or Oneplus 6T are best that Iphone XS Max and cost less!

  • Depends. Do you prefer the functionality of iOS or the freedom of Android? Take care of your iPhone and it will last you for years with regular updates & support. Mate 20 Pro is a fine device but it won't last as long, it has defective displays, and there's the thorny issues of Huawei's business practices.

  • I d say the Mate 20 Pro cause of the in-display fingerprint scanner,the intelligent camera,the fastest processor on 7nm on android,and the reverse wireless charging.

  • the iphone desetves the money for many years

  • I can't decide yet , should i spent that amount of money to buy that phone or should i buy android phone like mate 20 pro ?

  • I can't decide yet , should i spent that amount of money to buy that phone or should i buy android phone like mate 20 pro ?

  • nothing new about iphones , only expensive applications and always no card slot , for a good price we can have lot of features and long battery life , so long life to android , i think iphone popularity is decreasing and soon it will vanish , so sorry to the few amateur of apple , and this is a reality all friends of me changed their iphone for android one , but you have to carefully choice a good one.

  • Actually iphone users don't know what they are missing with any phone you will be satisfied if you wan't social media and photography (from midrange to flagships) You are paying more for a phone that does less Many other smartphones have better value with less cost

  • Actually people who only tried iPhones don't know what they are missing Every smartphone will satisfy your needs interms of social media and photography (eving mid range smartphones ) There are well lots of better value phones in the market

  • I have used Iphone device more than 2 years, I feel like it satisfied my needs when it comes to photo editing and accessing social medias because it doesn't log. yes though it is so expensive but still it has a top ratings when it comes to Marketing Development because some of the millennial used this phone for Vlogging, photography and Communication purposes. Good job for the this company!

  • ITZ apple and you said exactly right. Now Apple is asking Samsung and MediaTek Inc. for 5G modem chips. I just wonder how this new Apple can bear the legacy of Steve Jobs. I feel pity for Apple now.

  • Or wait for appul to copy it.... And call it greatest thing since sliced bread...

  • Its price is too aggressive otherwise the performance of the phone is quite smooth and face id 2.0 is also better than iPhone x face id and camera got an good upgrade over previous iPhone models

  • In my country iphone xr costs a little bit more than mate 20 pro and note 9

  • Customers like us are here to laugh at this crap. nonsense phone

  • Yes it is expensive I think only in the us iphone have better price But in my country this iphone xs max costs almost as twice the price of a note 9 and mate 20 pro for the 64 GB version Sure it is faster but Samsung and Huawei gives higher resolution better camera better battery life as S pen for note 9 with headphone jack and micro sd slot While mate 20 pro have reverse wireless charging and third camera lens All of that with so much lower price

  • Are you serious retina has no real meaning iPhones are using it just for marketing Retina display means that it has 300ppi (of course every smartphone has that) You should not just believe everything apple says Sure note 9 display is better

  • the notch is sexy on the iphone

  • Perfect design! Did you see the notch ?

  • perfect design, battery can charge via fast charging, i am using all days, and charging once in the per day. good job for iphone users!

  • No iphone's display is better it has retina

  • You hate Apple? Lmao then why are you here?

  • Neither did the Galaxy S9 which made ME happy.

  • YES

  • Dear all Please let me know this IPHONE MAX Dual sim can work at Saudi Arabia. Thanks

  • Am I the only one that is happy because iphone didn't sell well ? Because if this is true I expect to see a great phone at cheaper price to compete with crappy android

  • The xs max screen is a Samsung screen last I checked, I hate apple but if you’re going to leave a bad comment then you should know what you’re talking about. Resolution isn’t great yes but, the software and ui cover that up amazingly the phone is very quick compared to my galaxy s8 which to this day I haven’t had a complaint about speed wise I haven’t used it for a full day but my friends seem to have to charge their iPhone XS Max before the end of the day but not by much, iPhone XS Max is a great phone, they just did not add much from the previous generation

  • Yes I finaly got someone who's talking about this point I can't afford the price of an iphone it's too expensive for me All smartphone brands have cheap phones Only apple doesn't give us the choice to have one the only way I can buy an iphone is either by buying an old used one(but I don't want having a used phone ) this is why I fedl rejected from their communityI feel that apple hate poor people and don't care for them like others do

  • iphone is amazing phone but have two problom 1.its expensive 2.transfer data is diffficult .if they solve this problems i promise they can give most part of bazar

  • Only hipsters buy iPhones? 2012 called, they want their lame FanDroid insult back.

  • If you hate Apple so much then why are you here?

  • Um, thats absolutely false. The iPhone XS Max never lags, EVER.

  • Apple display is crap? Lmao yeah okay

  • The iPhone XS Max wasn’t made by Samsung, the display yes, but it’s tuned heavily by Apple. Not to mention LG also manufactures it too.

  • Yes I agree android is way better

  • Because you've bought the (hong-we-care-xing-bao) edition

  • Guess you haven't noticed, iPhone prices are dropping rapidly due to poor sales and large unsold inventory. Steep discounts a few months after release certainly won't help resale prices.

  • Apple seriously overestimated consumer interest in it's latest flagship devices. Significant price reductions haven't stemmed the sales decline either. Citi Group reports sales of the iPhone XS Max are 48% below original estimates and analysts Project 1st Quarter sales of 48 million for all devices, the lowest number since 2012. The days of incremental upgrades for the most expensive phones on the market are gone. Apple engineers need to up their game if they wish to offer competitive devices going forward. The latest software update didn't help much either. Who would be pleased to spend $1,099 - $1,449 for a bricked or half functional phone after it's first update?

  • I am using iPhone XS MAX.. while I’m shooting video, sometimes it shows stuck... why it happens?

  • Expensive yes - but you're getting superb camera, solid battery life, 4+ years of updates, and premium build quality. Given that the Pixel 3XL starts at $899, it's not that overpriced

  • My friend you can't compare ios and Android forever and ever!!!

  • I know that Apple has the best smartphones ever their os is the best bu I hate them because their phones are too expensive( can you imagine that in most countries iphone xr has the same price as samsung note 9 and huawei mate 20 pro) and because they are too greedy (they include a 5w charger to oblige you to buy an adapter and fast charger which cost a lot they removed headphone jack to sell more earpods they don't use usb type c...) And because they make stupid desicions and every android copie it like notch and removing headphone jack I hope this helps

  • why must have record 960fps ? did u always record slow mo video ? did it really usefull on ur daily life ? 240p not enough slow for u ? u can go to sony or samsung if u want to...

  • Hahahahahahahaha..

  • You can make it your priority, if you have a good mind for finances you can keep the goal in focus y remembering that iPhones have less value loss so last years model will go a very long way to help you buy this years model. One important point is that many Americans never buy phones, they just get them from the carrier on a contract, price becomes a non-issue, they just buy the best and theres no doubt what is the best as of now, you just need to chose your size between Xs and Xs Max. I never bough a network locked phone and never will, so I completely understand why more and more people opt for sim-free phones, and I haven't always had a lot of money myself so i also understand the high entry point of iPhones, but I have to say its misunderstood, remember that for heavy usage an iPhone 7 is still faster than Huawei P20 Pro, by quite a bit too. iPhones are so good that you don't need the latest, even SE and 6s are still awesome phones.

  • This is exactly right!

  • Because it's too expensive. Btw, I have an iPhone XS MAX.

  • Cuz too Expensive. you know iphone 6s is now in top 10 trending phones. I cant believe that they made tooo expensive. im also fan of apple :-)

  • Cause it's Price most people in this world can't afford an apple phone so they go with other companies and nobody can ignore the performance that apple gives but still the Price most people in some countries are searching for phones even under 100$ but Apple gives a minimum of new generations for over 600$ and who cares i like apple too but the price point can't let me access it

  • apple wins my heart i wonder why people hate it so much

  • And you think that apple is better ?? Apple always steal our informations and they are not that secure Ps : I hate both apple and google

  • Actually Indians pays more than ur country for any iphone. Currently I am using iphone xs max and before that i was using iphone x. So pls think twice before saying anything

  • Hello. Please help me. I have xs max 256 gold bought november and for me for a brand new mobile i think battery is not so strong or it’s just my mobile? Please give me your feedbacks.

  • Bought the 256gb White - jumping from 7 plus , i can confirm it's Super-fast, superb camera....satisfied 10/10 !

  • @Mahesh, wake up buddy, the only iphone you’ve ever had was the Ulephone XS Max. I can imagine that the price of the iphone, which is more than a years wage where you come from, is a though pillow to swallow, but it is what it is. No need to troll apple for that.

  • Hi, I have puchased I Phone Mobile Xs Max 256 GB recently, but i am not satisfied with Applie mobile picture quality, video quallity, images quality and colour contrast, if you are compare with Samsung Anroid Phones as i have been using Samsung Note 5 since long time, Picture and image quality is fabulous. Why such a big brand Apple is not fulfiling customer expections on quality even mobile prices are so high.. Comments Please..

  • But is is googles responsibility to assure some level of compatibility between the different manufacturer versions, like a uniform kernel, instead of todays jungle of custom kernel sourcecode compiled with compiler parameters not even known to google. Instead google chose to make some demands that are all related to implementation of google services that enables even more personal data collection. Instead of a little homogenization we just get more abused, google is the farmer and users are the cows who signed away their rights by accepting the user agreement. Another problem is the lack of good binary drivers thst can just be inserted into the kernel at runtime, thanks to a few tinfoil hat users the demand for source code has gone too far, so a hardware piece that is safe on one phone can have severe security and stability flaws on another. And then all chances of a unified google security patch is gone, pushing you more uneanted ads takes presedence over everything else. The truth is somewhere between the tinfoil hats and pro-users who dont know how little they know and therefore tend repeat what the tinfoil hats wrote in a far out blog, you can consider it a closed loop, effectively blocking reasonable demands from reasonable users. So in the end the reasonable users look for alternatives, and since Firefox OS failed they come to iOS. Real power users with developer experience know that only once have mobile OS been close to heaven, it was Maemo 5 on Nokia N900, killed by Microsoft to make way for their own garbage OS.

  • Ffmpeg also has problem with 960fps android-recorded videos, the fault is with the chinese phone manufacturers for not following the mpeg standards. Pts must be set to playback fps, not recorded fps. You have to obtain a 960fps mp4 file from a non-android recording and post to apple support if it still dont play right on iphone and they will look into it. You could also forward the problem to the android maker and request they fix the header errors in recorded files but we know they will not look into it.

  • Why Apple still cannot recode Super Slow Motion video with 960fps. can we hope this with new updates in future ??? any apple user???????????/

  • I agree with you but not all of it.when you talk about update.its not responsible to Google to update every brand immidiately.for example if Huawei had a phone with ios.it was their responsibility to update on not Apple's responsibility. Apple will update it's own phones fast but other it's other brands that take times to update not Google's fault

  • I have this phone in 512GB spacegray and its awesome. This is crazyfast and you notice it in games and heavy internet pages. Screen and speakers are topquality, only bad is price really :)

  • yeah ur right but not all apple phones some they buy android phones that are usually they see on T.V

  • Thumbs up

  • May I know is it good to update iPhone Xs max to iOS 12.1 ? Is there any problems after update ?

  • People use Apple phone just to look cool and say I have an iPhone that's it. lots of people don't know the display of all new XS phones is made by SAMSUNG.

  • All good for you friend you are totally right.

  • To all of you talking down Apple, just know that I have been anti-Apple for many years, and always had Android. Now, Google owns Android and everything is different. All of the different phones update at different time rates. SMS viruses are becoming an Android plague. Google tracks everything you do, and a lot of this information BY DEFAULT is made public. I am done having anything to do with Google. Say what you will about Apple, but they care about thier customers. And any security update is pushed out immediately to all devices, rather than having to wait on the phone manufacturer to port them to their individual devices. All of you Android users should really look more in depth at the pros of having an iPhone.

  • Same products (ie technology) different packaging.

  • because Apple never change...

  • Try to charge it with 12W or 15W charger comes with any android phone it will charge faster, i use 15W lenovo charger with Anker 10W wireless pad it charge faster

  • info is similar what Apple do every year

  • You need to buy 50€ adapter and 30€ wire to allow fast charging, there is no fast charging with adapter & wire provided with package.

  • It depends on the country iphones outside us are way more expensive than samsung note 9 rven xr is mor expensive than it

  • iPhone XS Max is very laggy and very slow. Not for me

  • Ios 12.1.1 not help me for (Face id has been disable) . Hardware problem with front camera , all programs not working with front camera ( snapchat has been disable ) very bad phone i want to sell this xs max and buy another model in android please help me .

  • 50% in 30 minutes? it goes 35% in 1 hour wtf is happening...and 4 hour to 100%

  • I only appreciate the Apple iPhone for starting the touchscreen smartphone trend that pioneer capacitive touchscreen, multitouch, and fingerprint. But I hate Apple for practicing trend that is not beneficial to user, such as no Micro SD slot, no replacable battery, and no headphone jack, limited compatibility to other platform. They also paid those reviewer for always praising their product as marketing tool and glorified their product, part of the brainwashing tools. Use Apple iPhone for just it's brand and ready to pay much more extra for it's own eco-system. Use Android as the more value and affordable option which can function as a smartphone, much more open and also can do much more possible functions, although iPhone user will bitter they don't need all these over complicated features. Not complaining on those who own iPhone, but Android definitely offer much more flexibility than iPhone.

  • It's a premium phone for the few. It is a great phone, I like to compare them to the Vertu phone which Nokia did many years back. It is more for the discerning few. If you get it, it is a good buy but don't compare them with the android crowd. iPhones are exclusive and stand their own ground. Just need to be prepared to live in the iOS ecosystem thereafter. Have a great day!

  • The displays thay Samsung make for Apple are better than their own displays because they use technologies that only Apple has access to and costs more to make for every display so. This is the best and most advanced samsung display you can get on a phone because it's an Apple designed display, not a Samung one.

  • Samsung's software makes the image a bit more saturated. You can't really change anything about it. But if you're going to say the iPhone's display is better, I would immediately say that the display is made by Samsung so if you say this display is good, you're saying Samsung displays are good.

  • Recently got the phone, i think its a really good phone, bit expensive and could have done with a better battery and more RAM. but i think the notch and the screen is crystal clear I really like the Super AMOLED screen. would defo recommend this phone

  • The Iphone xs max is a premium handset, I can't fault the handset, used to own a samsung S9 Plus and the bloatware slowed down the h/set and the apps compared to the IOS is very sluggish. This is my findings and also the best camera out there when it comes to HDR. I would 110% recommend the Iphone XS Max but not to those with small hands you will struggle.

  • Good phone at bad price

  • 2019 iPhones: 1. Name change: Introduction of iPhone Pro and regular series 2. CPU: 7nm+ TSMC advanced fabrication, A13 CPU, Octa-Core 2+6, 6-core Apple-made Graphics 3. Design change: Boxy glass sandwich pretty much a fusion of iPhone 4 and 5 Series 4. Different Antennae models and distribution 5. RAM: 6 for the big OLED model, 4 or 6 (most likely 6 to match the larger OLED, also because 3GB RAM for the LCD variant seems insufficient and because Apple wants to differentiate OLED models and LCD model in terms of specs) for the small OLED and 4 for the LCD variant. 6. Memory: 128GB, 512GB and 1TB for OLED models and 64GB, 256GB and 512GB for LCD model. 7. Price (lowest memory configuration only): $1049 for the XS successor, $1149 for the XS Max successor and $699 for XR successor. 8. Name... XS successor to be called Apple iPhone Pro 5.8 XS Max successor to be called Apple iPhone Pro 6.5 XR successor to be called Apple iPhone 6.1 9. Features: Updated Face ID 2.0 with more projection dots (Face ID 1.0 utilizes 30k of those, expected more than 100k for the newer 2.0 version), 10.1MP front camera sensor, dual 15MP rear sensors for small OLED, dual 15MP wide+telephoto rear sensors with an additional TOF sensor for the larger OLED, while LCD model to have only one 15MP wide sensor. 5G module not likely this year, while Gigabit LTE (cat.18 LTE 1.2Gbps) expected across all 3 models. 10. Expected battery bump across all 3 devices, while thickness remain the same. That's because of the new boxy design which allows for better space utilization, also the shrunk of chip size helps with a few mAh's more. Estimated 3250-3300 for the largest one, 3050-3070 for the LCD version and around 2750-2800mAh for the smaller OLED. 11. Although still unconfirmed, it is rumored that Apple is planning to remove lightning connector in favor of either fully wireless charging or Type-C USB 3.1. Rumors talk about 2020, but it will happen most likely this year.

  • Apple display is crap, buy Sony Xperia XZ3 is you want great display

  • I agree to a degree. To me it comes down to value. I want a good display and after that features which I know I'll use. I can't justify the iPhone any longer, so many feature packed devices for hundreds less.

  • I don't understand how people are comparing flagship (not only samsung or iphone) phones they all are decent fast and have great cameras i feel that all these rankings are useles especially for camera you can't just say one phone's camera is better than others every phone has it's pros and cons The only main difference are the os and the design other than this you won't feel that one is inferior than other

  • Both OS have their own superiority. So owning both solves the problem of issues when it comes to simplicity and complex usage!

  • windows 9 never been maded because it will conflict with windows 95 thats why they jump to windows 10 and it will be the last operating system from microsoft and there will be only update on windows 10

  • Hhhhh iphone have better cameras than s9+ !!!!!! Android is far better than ios I think that you don't have s9+ and you did never try aandroid

  • hardware problem front camera not working in xs max !!!

  • Restart the phone and try to request the update again

  • I still have issues with iOS 12.1 updates. It still stuck with “ updates requested for more than three days. I’m tempted to facility reset and stick with the previous updates. I’m eager to get update so that I can use E sim . Again none of the networks in Nigeria is aware of this esim capability of iPhone X’s max.

  • If you sleep with eyes wide (closed) opened, then can. Why iPhones does not have voice unlock, if under display fps is to much for them in 2018, or maybe there is no enough space in XS Max to implement tehnology..

  • Ask Satya Nadella

  • we dont know the reason why windows 9 is not available, can you pls let us know?

  • Iphone xs max outstanding. I own s9 plus and the iphone. Both are perfect but iphone is the monster with the solid cameras. Android look cheap because more than 12 companies are competing there. All who are talking against they want low quality phones. No issues at all with the iphone xs max at all. Stop hesitating. You want quality IOS and iphone is the answer.

  • so end up no work at night.great idea

  • The FaceID is good , very good! Updates are very slow. It’s stuck with updates requested for two days. The esim can’t be utilized.

  • Face id is insecure they must make a voice id

  • He can open your eyes when ypu sleep

  • Camera app still a joke but 3rd party RAW (.DNG) photos 🤤are 12.2MP of perfection. And video with Filmic Pro is as good as a DSLR with 100Mbps and LOG.

  • How about anyone unlocking your phone while you sleep with your thumb? Face ID doesn't work if your eyes are closed

  • Are you eating cocaine? Or snorting weed? A12 is the BEST mobile SoC on the market. The camera is 9.9/10, YouTubers just get paid from Google to say the pixel has the best camera If you buy it brand new and from a reliable source, you should have ZERO issues. ZERO. iOS is the most secure mobile OS. iPhones do NOT slow down. Except if your battery is 40% capacity and the CPU has to throttle too much. Which would happen if you used this phone every single day for 15 years. And iOS updates aren't security patches, they're mostly bug fixes and new features. You'll be happy you own this.

  • For same reason why Microsoft eon't have Windows 9;)

  • Why iphone remved the fingerprint scanner this is too bad for twins

  • We all know that fiat panda is better . Ferrari is only for those dump people who want to say that they are rich

  • $100 more than S9 for 64gb and its way better in every category, so go ahead and buy your $900 junk!! lol GOOD LUCK!!!!!

  • I have 256 gb...superb quality...superb fast...overall..its superb!!!

  • After owning the iPhone XS Max for two months I can tell you Ive had no issues at all

  • I want to buy an ihone but i cant trust apple i am afraid that they give me a defective phone Also is apple good with the security patches do they give regular updates is ios secure enough I heard that iphones slow down very fast and a12 bionic ship cheats the benchmarkis it a good processor comparing to snapdragon 660 (i know it's a midrange processor but it seems better than a12 in tests) Is apple's camera good .pictures doesn't seem natural and it is not rich in details so what do you think

  • The phone is great, the price not so much. Plus, I feel like they could've gone for a WQHD display like Samsung. But I ain't judging.

  • Isn't like lmao A12 blows it out the water.

  • iPhones will never be worth it. Only hipsters will buy this phone. If you are actually looking for a good phone with a good price efficiency. Check LG or Samsung. Samsung is still expensive, but much more cheaper than an iphone xs max as it is under $1000

  • I like the E memes

  • And the rest of the phone? I can buy a Fiat Panda and the fuel consumption is better than on a Ferrari

  • The iPhone XS Max is great! it looks very beautiful, and has a quality OLED-screen. the battery life is pretty good, too.

  • I've been considering buying the XS Max, I have grown accustom to large display's and this is Apple's first. After doing some research I'm no longer sure I can justify owning the device. Charging issues, Wifi issues, LTE issues, antenna issues, imessage issues, cosmetic wear issues as well. All these defects are basic operating functions. Even a $500.00 device shouldn't have these problems. Since it lacks MicroSD, 512 GB internal is a must. So it's going to cost around $1,550.00. Including tax. Maybe some of these will be resolved after a software update but c'mon Apple, for this price I want a well designed, fully functional, reliable product!

  • Good question :v

  • I am and my family android users for last 6 years and we never faced any problem with security.. it is more safe than iOS.. Moreover what security u r looking since all personals data on social media nowadays.. hackers also cannot hack android

  • Secure?how do you explain the icloud issue of some celebs before?if you own a samsung device right now its the same as iphone. That security thing you are saying. Loop holes are always there. Its a piece of code that you can crack anytime. Like siris bug wherein you can bypass the lockscreen with touchid. Apple is nothing but an overpriced device

  • Yahh, but it's secure? 90% of people's goes to iPhone because it's secure,,, I believe iOS is not complete safe...it's has some vulnerability but if user is used with caution & care about privacy....its secure... IPhone is secure...(Reality) Android have a lots of vulnerable....

  • It's not equal poco don't have that apple in the back So iphone xs worth the price

  • i can buy a pocophone f1 for a quarter of the price of this phone and performance is equal

  • verrryyyy vryyy gooodddd phone in theee worldddd

  • There is no sane person buying this device at this unacceptable price!?!?! Now the market is full with many choices of powerful devices and good prices like Galaxy S9+ and Huawei Mate 20 Pro

  • Because 7 8 9

  • When will apple produce a good phone like the past ?

  • Snapdragon 845 is better then a11 bionic ship even better then a12

  • A quick question! Why Apple do not have an iPhone 9?

  • The phone is very cheap. They should make it 2500 bucks since the phone is very good. Message to apple. Next year please sell iphones for 3000$ so that only rich people like me can afford it. Duhh

  • What 1750 $ ? That's too high you can buy two android phones at this price i know that iphone is better but some people can't afford 1750$ for a phone

  • Mi A1. easy.

  • NO

  • I am an iphone 6s user i start hating apple because they are slowing down their phones so which company do suggest i don't care for specs i want a user friendly one that care about customer what do you suggest ? I am thinking of lg and xiaomi (i love chinrse brands and i heard that the custom ui is close to ios so i can't feel much different if i buy a xiaomi phone )

  • Because they're 2nd tier products. Money is only a problem when you don't have any.

  • Don’t buy iPhone Max Just got it 2 days back. It’s expensive as hell, heavy as hell, Huge as hell. I got for around 1750$ US with cover. After buying it life gets centred around it, always scared that it doesn’t get scratch or damage. & at this price will be stuck with this phone for atleast 3yrs. If had an option to return back here in India I would have returned it the next day. Nothing wrong with the phone, it’s fast smooth and beautiful, an excellent show off phone. I am just too tired to carry it every day.

  • Yes you can, use IOS2Android app

  • Is there any way to instal android on iphone??

  • apple bad end of story

  • Last years iphones A11 bionic chips spanks the snapdragon 845. What you talking bout Willis????

  • iPhone X lost less value in 1 year than a GNote 9 or Huawei Mate 20 Pro lost in a month. iPhones are cheapest to own, buyers always line up, even old devices like 6s sell for prices Android phones at half the age cannot even dream of. You cannot get 400 for a P20 Pro, if its one week old maybe you get 350, but you can get 700 for a year-old iPhone X. I cant afford to buy Android phones, the value drops too fast. But i bought 2 (maybe 3) Xs Max 256GB and 1 Xs 256GB, i know they will still be worth a lot next year when iPhone 11 comes out, when your Huawei and Samsungs already lost 700 dollars value EACH.

  • This is phone is too expensive... it is never a good value for a phone.. depreciate sooner after one year you lose you money... phone a weak investment

  • I got one from China dual sim working perfectly

  • I have notice the same for my iPhone 8 Plus and most of my previous iPhones too. Network reception has been pretty weak in certain areas compared to my S8 which has no trouble with reception at all.

  • I can t use Notes on this iPhone they say upgrade Notes How to upgrade ? Plz help

  • You can't It's apple never listen

  • ahahhaha"Better CPU" i wonder why iphone xs max holds the first place in speed rn Even XR is beating this phone xD Battery you are right, but if apple would choose to place a 4k mAH battery, iphone would hold the first place in battery survival And camera... iPhone holds the first place too in cameras, but tbh i dont believe it, everyone prefers other camera, you should just check blind tests to get your choice.

  • They must add this con No fingerprint sensor

  • Why iphones have bad network reception, is there any solution for improving network on it.

  • Huawei (without their subsidiary Honor) allready sell more phones than Apple... And if you consider all their brands, BBK Electronics too (Oppo+Vivo+Oneplus+Realme)

  • No other brands come even closer to Apple or Samsung This 2 brands leading in mobile industry

  • I have had the new iPhone Max for several weeks, and have had nothing but problems. I cannot have a normal conversation. The call goes silent, while the person on the other end of the call is still connected and talking. Then the voice comes back on, only to repeat the same cycle of silence.

  • Both phones are really great. Just check your budget.

  • ahahaahha

  • Why do people buy iphone or samsung when there are much better chinese phones that gives unique great features for a lower price like mi mix 3 honor magic 2 or ztd nubia x

  • They are both great choose the phone for the os that suits you the most and in both case you are getting a great phone

  • Better CPU since when???

  • both are good

  • Samsung Galaxy Note 9 is better than Apple iPhone XS Max with better CPU, battery and display. The camera in the Samsung is also much better than Apples

  • Apple iphone XS MAX is batter or Sumsung galaxy note 9 i m very confused in both mobile phones plz help me Apple iphone XS MAX is best or SAumsun Galaxy note 9

  • How can i report camera bug to apple? When I take a photo against with background lighting, the illusion of bulb, lamp, sun appear in photo and viewfinder. anyone having problem like that? mine is Xs Max.

  • is it support 5G band? im pretty sure 5G band network will arrived soon. If it not supported, what a wasted

  • Very nice but without FM radio? The battery is short-lived, should have at least 4,000 mA.

  • Actually Samsung doesn't supply Apple screens.. it's all manufactured by LG. Samsung was smart enough to buy as many screens that LG can make in a year through a contract. Apple has to go through Samsung to get the screens but Samsung doesn't make them. They are only a middle man.

  • its best iPhone ever I think Apple has done a great job by introducing 6.5 inches big screen iPhone ever

  • Here in Philippines, iPhone XS max price with 512 GB is P97,490.00. WoW that's amazing.

  • I got dual sim standby xs max which can slot in 2physical sim card. I put in a data card and a phone card. Eventually when i make call, the data auto turn off (lost connectivity). Unsure if this isp prob or iphone is setup so.

  • Hhhhh what are you talking about it's totaly the reverse android phones last more than iphone I tested samsung s5 and it's better than iphone 6s in every aspect (especially for battery and performance ) it laggs less than iphone and I think that samsung is one of the worst android brands .chinese brands are better and last more

  • Unbelievable how much this phone is fast and smart and smooth It was worth the money

  • I hope that android phones don't follow iphone by removing fingerprint sensor

  • Waiting

  • No notch anymore on the next iPhone 2019, but a camera slider like Oppo Find X, Xiaomi Mi Mix 3 and Huawei Honor Magic 2... How boring!!!

  • Battery 3174 mAh! why not 3200 ??

  • carry me please

  • this is the same as saying the steak you had at a restaurant is so tasty cos it's from this farm. Who says that? You compliment the chef not the farmer.

  • What are you?? A sale rap. best investment that the best words you have for phone with a life of one year

  • I bought the iphone xs max 64gb space grey today for 1345$ in Lebanon I ll leave a feedback after a daily use It is my first iphone

  • Great great phone for sure, but, it's so damn heavy, seriously, too heavy.

  • I have recieved an iPhone from Vodafone UK, but guess what, wrong model type and it was a dual sim. They send me the MT model type not the A2101 Model and single sim! Before using your device, look inside the info. Otherwise, the device is excellent.

  • I can't believe how much I love this phone! Sincerely , it is a great investment! Think about it ;) ...

  • don't ever leave a comment if your not using this phone :)

  • used this phone for phone calls, emails and 30 minutes youtube from morning 8 to evening 6. Still 75% left. And to be honest, the touch is smoothest I have ever experienced in any phone.

  • The screen is only the most beautiful because it is supplied by samsung

  • All day battery......... Are you sure ?

  • $1099 for a phone with the most beautiful 6.5 inch super AMOLED display and the best mobile chipset in both CPU and GPU ever in a smartphone is an amazing deal when it has an extra-all day battery and is guaranteed 4-5 years of dedicated software support. Hate people who say "but the [insert Android phone here] is cheaper/better" like go away. Even the Pocofone for $399 will only last you two years... upgrade it again to match the life of a modern iPhone and you're saving $300 to lose out on tons of features. Just buy an iPhone, Android is only good for competition with Apple.

  • Yea the parts maby cheap but android dont work snapchapt

  • You meant Android smartphone.(Writing it from Samsung Smartphone)...

  • Me too

  • That would feel cheap,and also if they do most people (maybe it too)Will start aurgement that Apple has copied cheap Chinese Smartphone.

  • The iPhone XS Max is a good device,. Has a good camera, large display, great OS and fluid software. What's lacking is VALUE! Not only is it the most expensive device on the market, users find themselves locked into the Apple Ecosystem and Proprietary Hardware which is a huge source of Apple's overall profit. When a user desires carefree warranty coverage they need to make an additional purchase for AppleCare. By the time you purchase the device, add tax, AppleCare, proprietary accessories you'll be out of pocket at or over $2,000.00 USD. Then you stuck with a device with limitations on apps and music options. Nor can you flash the device with a Custom ROM which allows users the ability to tweak their devices to exactly what they want in a device. When compared to the feature rich Galaxy S9 Plus at under $700.00, whether you favor android or not, there is no comparison in VALUE!

  • Its because you havent used FaceID yet. How do i know? Because if you did you would forget about fingerprint. faceID is so fast and reliable and convenient that FingerID feels like a bad memory from simpler times, the times before apple invented the future with FaceID. Theres absolutely NOTHING bad to say about FaceID, its a completely seamless experience.

  • I agree you. it does the same thing on my iPhone XS too.

  • The best iPhone device ever ..

  • I forgot to mention that this iPhones battery absolutely does not last any longer than on previous iPhones. I’ve been typing an email for 20 min and the battery went down from 85% to 65%. All other apps (except maybe MTA subway app) were closed. I don’t expect any better and I know that we will always need to carry a power bank with us until there is a new technology instead of Lithium. I knew that the promised boost in a battery based on a 7nm processor technology is an advertisement gimmick. Regardless , I really love this phone.

  • Update: The more I use it , the more I’m getting to like it and happy that I switched from Galaxy Note Note 8. By the way, there are no major cons with android phones nowadays, so I can comfidently recommend Samsung or OnePlus phone to people as well. There are some minor cons of course which I will list: PROS: - The best smooth design of any phone ( no curved screen, and bazels of the phone located evenly , unlike on Samsung or other phones where they leave the bottom bazel bigger than the side bazels ) -Gigabit internet is now finally just as fast as on top android phones -IOS Is definitely smoother than Android a) There are way less web pages that jump or don’t display properly comparing to Android but they certainly still exist on IOS system as well b) IOS Doesn’t allow third party apps like WhatsApp or Viber to create duplicate contacts in your phone book , which is how android phones should be but they are not CONS: -Usb 2.0 comparing to usb 3.1 on top Android phones (a little annoying slow file transfer speed) -As always improperly programmed signal indicator which often shows 2 bars when the actual signal is 80% or 100%. Apple must finally address this issue and reprogram signal indicator software so it would show 4 bars when the signal is -45 Dbm or -50 Dbm

  • Best phone for every users, After using a few days I found that: 1-Best camera front and rear 2-Battery is better 3-Screen is better (6.5” is the best for me with better resolution) 4-best shape design 5-Gold color is very cute but silver is attractive too (that is why I bought both) One thing I dissatisfy is phone accessories

  • > Gorilla Glass 6 > What is the truth? when Apple used Gorilla Glass on earlier implementations, they boasted about it. They don’t now.

  • I wanted Apple to have a fingerprint sensor in the display the same way some Oppo, Vivo, etc phones are now starting to do. I dislike FaceID and passcodes are not convenient. Hopefully Apple considers adopting the technology for next year's iPhones.

  • it cannot outlast the samsung or sony phones with the same usage because the battery size is smaller so tested with the same amount of usage its impossible the iphone lasts longer. sorry but you are completely lieing

  • I Really think that iPhone XS is way better choice over iPhone XS Max... It is because of price and features comparison... If you ask me, iPhone XS vs iPhone XS Max , i will prefer iPhone XS

  • You are absolutely right. Apple does not need the RAM Androids needs, nor the battery size either. iOS is tailor made to the inner core of coding to be optimised as much it can be with its hardware. It runs efficient, fast and smoothly. Android has become so heavily fragmented over the years and needs to be adjusted to many different chipsets. It can never work flawlessly as iOS does. But i don´t use Apple. I dislike their marketing ethics and closed ecosystem. Been on Android for many years and find it superior to iOS. Not by performance, but by flexibility and the freedom it provides.

  • Wrong, wrong and wrong. "First thing, apple has horrible security." That's not true, even as a Android user I hate to admit it but it's true. "Second the screen breaks as soon as you drop it." Have you watched ANY drop test of the phone ? It doesn't break as soon as you drop it. "Third the iPhone X is the same as the iPhone xs max the one thing different about it is that it is only bigger." THEY HAVE DIFFERENT CPU. The 3 models has the same internals except in the screen and camera department, performance wise, on paper XR should be the fastest, but that doesn't make them X.

  • First thing, apple has horrible security. Second the screen breaks as soon as you drop it. Third the iPhone X is the same as the iPhone xs max the one thing different about it is that it is only bigger.

  • Saw the review on uoutube. This phone battery test outlast note9 pixel xl3 snd sony xz3..so surprised

  • I have a question to ask? Do this Apple iPhone XS or XS Max have (Gorilla Glass 6) on there display protection Only You-Tubers saying this new iPhone have Gorilla Glass 6 But in GSMArena or anywhere else written as Scratch-resistant glass, Oleophobic coating What is the truth ?

  • By 2025 you need to exchange it with one of your body parts(prolly your balls as its kinda admittance of givin up on em and hail apple) coz the price will be beyond money

  • I love Apple phone and as a poor guy from Ghana currently i'm using iPhone 4s. So as apple prices rise each and every release how will the then apple phone cost in 2025 and above yrs.

  • I'm due for an upgrade from 6S Plus but I'm more inclined towards 8 Plus. Face ID is headache at times, love Touch ID

  • And that's why any cost Apple put on these phones is a steal. After all it's not a Smartphone, It's a luxury. By 2025, Iphone will be as costly as an Omega watch.

  • Teenagers have also hacked the CIA's and FBI's data base.

  • hi all read this carefully... today i say this as i am a apple user & have a many devices including the xs max. All i want to say apple devices are long lasting all these years have not had many issues as the software they have is quite bug free but i have many relatives & trust me most are android users so with them we had a long discussion & i will give you best advice ever that is you will save a lot of money using the best android phones as in apple you have to purchase apps & android apps vpn antivirus editing games i mean any thing is available apk files online my relatives have the best tablet of samsung & i really suggest buying the samsung tab s4 if not the phone i mean its so awsome super fast awesome you can just google for apk files all paid apps available online movies music you name it crazy apple user feels like a fool iphone is ok but ipad is not worth.. i mean android users save so much money and enjoy free everything music movies apps. rather save money & you can tour the world many places or buy so many other good stuff in life. unless you are super rich as in the end you just gonna use facebook whatsapp instagram snapchat etc social media apps the most & cameras are great in android, try iphone in dark or heavy sunlight it just fails so so bad. save your money

  • Apple make good tablets and laptops, getting a 1k phone is pointless, go on holiday or give to charity

  • Yes im compelled to use icloud since no sd card and 256/512 gb costs way more. Also all those nude leaks and so many hacks how do you justify security as iclouds are in google servers only yet google never enencountered that?!

  • In egypt people earn about 300€ average. So how could they buy this phone??

  • How many people do you know that can get into iCloud's servers? And also, you're not obligated to use iCloud.

  • then please explain how a 16 year old hacked in apple server

  • Beautiful phone indeed. It thrashes the competition.

  • In western states, adult people can earn like 3000 € a month easily, that is about average, at least if they did a formation.

  • The most Important feature is High security in IPhone provided by apple which not available in Galaxy,IPhone series is amazing.

  • You have both phones ????? more than 2000€ Only one of these phones costs 10 times more than my moto e4 😣😣😣&#128­547;😣😣😣&­#128547;😣 how can you people buy expensive phones????? I m pretty sure that you have also Iphone x which is still great phone but very expensive I hope I can buy a flagship one day I want one an Iphobe😢😢😢

  • Stop saying nonsenses! Xr camera is an Sony Exmor RS 363 micron pixels and as such it is way more capable than iPhone X main snapper Exmor RS 315 with 1.22" micron pixels.

  • It doesn't have an inferior main camera, why are you talking like it's a fact when yet it's wrong?? The XR has the same sensor as the iPhone XS, only thing missing is the second camera, but that is only used for optical zoom, because in each and every other aspect, the cameras of XS and XR are absolutely the same, period. And because the XR has the same camera as XS, it has a better camera than the X. That is simple logic, why don't you get that. The iPhone 8 Plus had a worse camera than the X, but that was also only by a little bit, and not as big of a difference as you present it. When talking about main camera, fact is: 8 (Plus) < X < Xs = XR And you can't say anything about that, when it's a fact, accept it. If you don't believe me, just watch the keynote of 2017 and 2018 again, it is said there, exactly like I said it.

  • So what? When the SD 810 was released, Apple has been doing 64bit for years. When the Galaxy S9 in gold was released, Apple has been doing gold for years. And Apple has also been doing wireless charging for over a year now, they didn't just start with it. It's because you can't have both the durability of an iPhone 7 metal back and the wireless charging capability of a fragile glass back.

  • No iPhone is overrated, they are all hated. You think you are different from the mass because you hate on it, yet you basically represent that same mass you don't want to be part of, because it is "trendy" to hate the latest iPhone, even if it has things going for it. You are just a blind mass consumer, nothing more ...

  • The Xr has inferior camera, and not just a little. The X however has a great camera so its no problem to get a cheap iPhone with an awesome camera, but the Xr will be similar to the iPhone 8 and thus far behind last years X in the camera department. Its very impressive that Apple has already improved their cameras with the Xs models before the competition had time to catch up with the X. To make it worse for the competition they didnt yet catch up with the performance of the X too, Apple is increasing their already big lead, currently at least 18 months ahead of samsung.

  • Just fell in love with this phone, I am a selfie and music person. the storage!!!

  • Isn't wireless charging something Android been doing for years?

  • This phone as all Apple phones is highly overrated, very small battery for such a large screen no optimization can face that. Also the screen ratio of 19.5:9 is a joke, the phone looks like a tv control no wider than a 5.5 inch 16:9 phone, with an ugly notch, no microsd slot, no infrared, for apple fanboys only!

  • 79h endurance rating and almost all youtube channels say different, it lasts almost as long as the 4000mAh Note9

  • To charge the phone at night it has to last that long all day. But it doesn't cuz that minuscule battery can't make up for a12 optimization.

  • If that‘s not enough for you, you can spend € 10 on a power brick from Anker and get 50% in 30 min. But as most people charge their phone at night, it is enough for them and also doesn‘t harm the battery as much

  • Well, the 1099$ Xs Max takes the same photos as the >$1400 iPhone XS Max, and I don‘t think the Mate 20 Pro will be that far off in price. But what I‘m more interested to know is how you can know that the camera of a yet unreleased phone is definitely better than that of the Xs Max, even more so if we know that the Xs (yeah, the cheaper standard-sized Xs again takes the same pictures at $999, and if you don‘t need optical zoom, the iPhone XR for $ 749 once again takes the same photos) has better low light capabilities than the P20 Pro?

  • Same has been said about the iPhone 7 being not available with 64GB, and iPhone 6s being not available with 32GB.

  • 1500 euros for a phone with 18% of charged battery in 30 minutes.

  • only iPhone XR have 128 GB storage sad....:(

  • The XR has a 128 GB option.

  • LOL what a tactic by Apple, they removed the most ideal storage option (128GB) just to sell the 256GB and the 512GB model.

  • A very good advice to go for the X. There's no need to buy new devices every time because of their bloated prices at launch. It is always preferred to go for the previous flagship as their prices has already fallen enough to justify their features budget-wise. Plus the X has better antenna than the new Xs and Xs Max, it can still be fixed due by a firmware update but FCC needs to approve the possible amendments. References:

  • They played themselves but then the issue is not with the modem but more with the antenna.

  • For those wondering what to get, Xs or Xs Max (i ordered both, both 256GB) its quite simple, the Max is NOT too big if you like big screens, i think most will find its reasonable sized, and in any case you cant reach the top even on the Xs with singla hand use. Personally i prefer the plain Xs over the Max but both are too big to carry in trouser front pockets for an active lifestyle, and the Max can double as a paddle if you enjoy kayaking. I was negative to the Max but its not as bad as expected. Remember to activate "Reachability" under General - Accessibility, then just swipe down at the bottom of the display to bring he top within reach, its super fast to use when you get used to it, i also use that setting on my X and regular Xs. And that remind me, its a good idea to go for a used X, its still an awesome fast phone with good battery and the 256GB versions can be found in good condition for less than the official price of the 64GB Xr, and i dont think anyone is in doubt that last years X is a lot better than Xr. I have taken advantage of some upgraders wanting to sell their X fast so i bought two iphone X yesterday, 64 and 256GB, but these somewhat good deals on X isnt going to last long so act fast if you want a premium flagship at upper midrange prices.

  • That's why I want to know, how much space I can use out of 64GB As you know no SD card in iPhone

  • if we get iphone xs max mobile 64 gb the total capacity is around 55 gb the reamaing capacity for apple system storage

  • Check actual storage size it wont be 64gb or 250 its less must be something to do with programmes and the ios system

  • I have a 64GB one and for me this is just enough

  • How much internal storage capacity I will get to use on Apple iPhones? 64 GB 256 GB 512 GB

  • Same here

  • You might be right, because I only checked GSMARENA website on both phones. So maybe GSM arena is better optimized for Android. I also don’t like the brightness level of all OLED displays except This iPhone. 1) There were no reasons for Apple to switch to OLED to begin with if you are planning on tweaking the OLED display ( which is what apple did with the X series) and reduce the Saturnation of the display in order for OLED display to last longer before the visual affects of the OLED kick in. 2) I really applause Apple for making the OLED display saturated on the same level with LCD display if that’s going to make the OLED last longer.

  • Camera wise it's no 2 than Mate 20Pro in News! But Price is 1400+$ Obnoxious! Become a lineage nothing else. Mostly third world countries dollar has appreciated, plus actual dollar price also passed 1k mark! Shame on users.

  • It it has to do with how the website is better optimized for Android because, if you look at the comments, iOS users are the vast minority, so why should they put their power into that?

  • NOTE: I assuming that super fast web page loading on Galaxy Note 9 has to do with faster modem. Note 9 has a 1200Mbps Modem Vs 1024Mbps on iPhone or on Galaxy Note 8 Other than that I really like the new iPhone. It finally got a mature look of Samsung Note series phones but made is more aehtetically pleasing. I hate edge screen and also the fact that Samsung left the bazel at the bottom of the screen ( for what purpose ?) And iPhone still has less web pages that are rendered (displayed) improperly comparing to Android.

  • I just took my iPhone XS MAX to Best Buy in order to compare Modem or processor quality between This phone and Galaxy Note 9 1) Connected both phones to Best Buy WiFi 2) Loaded GSM arena website. 3) Samsung Note 9 loads webpages much faster than Intel modem on my iPhone. (Either has to do with Qualcomm modem being faster than Intel modem or Qualcomm processor is faster than apples A12 processor ). Of course it’s not the reason to choose Samsung Note 9 over iPhone because iPhone still loads web pages fast but on Samsung Note 9 GSMarena website felt as if you are using iMac or top windows pc (almost instant page loading. Now very very hard chose because I really love both phones! IPhone still renders more webpages corectly comparing to Android.

  • Apple creates problems and sell the solution. And peoole buying it. But in my opinion, from now on, even the most loyal apple fanboy will know that this is the start of the iphone era.

  • same with me

  • Ram is always important, on any device. They are improving their product, you can have more apps open without your phone putting them to sleep.

  • You don’t need to pay more for more gigabytes, just use cloud storage... google photos is free.

  • I have nothing against Apple they make amazing products yet very much over price though their cameras in their phones are amazing their technology is changing constantly and improving and I have nothing against them. But to charge extra for more storage in the phone is ridiculous with an Android the Samsung Galaxy S9 plus being the best phone I've ever owned and I've owned iPhones before you just add a MicroSD card no extra money to buy the phone. And iTunes is even more ridiculous 99 cent download yet you can use the Audiomack app with an Android from the play store and you don't have to pay for anything and get unlimited music for free. Or Spotify is even well worth it at 9.99 a month for unlimited music. But I guess Apple is in business to make money and they definitely do being the largest company in the world. But between the iPhone xs and the Samsung galaxy s9+ to me it's a no brainer Samsung wins!

  • Convert it to peso it will be a whopping P91,250

  • The U.S. version has a physical SIM card for the SIM slot and there is an eSIM inside the phone. The China version has 2 physical SIM cards.

  • If it's not important to have 4gb ram then why don't apple sticks to 512mb ram itself why do they keep improving ram capacities?

  • Before you shell out your money for this monster pricey mobile; what you are missing? 1. No much improvement from Siri (shortcuts though effective) 2. No pesky call identifier or blocker 3. No way to block / stop unwanted to messaged that has no number 4. No more than 5Gb iCloud storage for free 5. No individual app lock (though you have individual note lock)

  • it does have dual sim capabilities in the form of one physical sim and another E-sim

  • Wonder does it support one hard sim card & a soft sim cards together?

  • ha ha ha.. lol... you bought phone worth 106K....

  • O Dual SIM Cards ..Apple needs to Look into (How we can switch off one SIM card without need to remove it physically from the I Phone) !!!

  • note 9 is much better because it has good battery and screen resolution is much better and the most important is that it accept charging while it on asleep not like some others phones

  • last friday night i broght this phone costing me around 106k then what fail

  • LOL you real think he would be on here!!!

  • Where is the issue with recharge in this phone?

  • Fast charger....U expect us to buy becos of your problem.?

  • 208 grams, are you kidding ?

  • Originally Apple was in talks with LG to supply the displays but in the end they went with Samsung.

  • That's the problem, it doesn't work. Apple charges a kings ransom for their devices then outfits it with a 10 cent Intel modem.

  • I have been an apple fan and loyal customer since 1980's. Trust me, there isn't an issue which Apple doesn't address and fix. In this case, this is not a BIG problem and sure will be taken care of in the next minor update release. Apple always exceeds my expectations. Thank you Apple. Pete Kermer

  • iPhone XS, XS Max charging problems: Strange issues surface on Apple's new phones !!

  • Hello guys, I would like to announce that here at Apple we're working on solving the charging issue some of you reportedly have been facing and will be fixed on the next update. In the mean time, our fast charger is available in stores now. Thank you.

  • Firstly, RAM is not important to iPhone since the software is performing well. And also, the software for camera is more important to capture a better picture.

  • I just heard that from few customer that while charging when screen goes off automatically then won't charge. until you turn on the screen. so please let us know is it true or not

  • Why this phone doesnt passed a basic thing? Charging battery

  • Hahahahahahahhahaha, I'm not an apple fan but seriously man you just... So bad

  • The price for this dead investment is huge. Do we really need to spend our money with these on every release?

  • FYI! LG Produces P-OLED or (Plastic Organic Light Emitting Diode) while Samsung Produces S-AMOLED Display (Super Active Matrix Organic Light Emitting Diode). Since Apple iPhone XS Max is using Super AMOLED that means the Screen came from SAMSUNG.

  • 4GB RAM will do just fine with the iPhone. Most of the buyers won't be bothered by that and most that does just buys other smartphones.

  • Apple were trying to pressure Qualcomm by filing lawsuits. Not using Qualcomm modems were just a statement from Apple that they can do just fine using modems from other companies. Qualcomm modems were faster but not that huge of a gap in between in which most of the fans were not that techie enough to be bothered anyways. Hey, as long as it works.

  • really 4gb of memory and 12 mp of camera????? plz plenty better phones here for better price.

  • Just wish apple would have gone with the Qualcomm modem. They are wanting premium price but not putting the best premium performing equipment in this high dollar phone. The Galaxy note 9 is better in cell coverage and data performance than this new XS Max not to mention what the new Galaxy 10 will perform like. It's funny how customers show loyalty to apple but get no loyalty in return. At this price this phone should be out performing the Galaxy. You definitely can get more for less in the Galaxy.

  • Lovely post as usual man! the features of the new iPhone series are never too different from the previous version except an improvement on the camera. what annoys me most is people keep freaking outr over every new version? or what do you think? the new iphone series as usual are already having thier own issues as usual.. i have noted one and made a working fix to it. kindly read it and tell me your thoughts. How to fix Black screen issue on iPhone Xs Iphone XR and iphone XS max

  • Looks like they have cut cost on quality control in order to maintain ultra-high profit margins. Apparently a humongous cash pile of 247 billion isn't enough.

  • What's important is the idea, and bezel-less and longer aspect ratio are NOT Apple's original ideas, as Xiaomi and LG did it long before iPhone X.

  • Charge gate lol

  • copy the mAh for Energizer P16k its over 16000 mAh, that would be better for expensive like iPhone. iPhone is good but not in battery

  • you pay 1lac + still, you need to buy fast charger by paying additional and still the battery life is below the Honor play or one+6 phones which is 20K/- to 30K/-despite the smooth function even think at least the phone should be worst for 1LAC Don't worry I'm not an android fanboy to tease here apple even I own 7+ and I curse myself for buying iPhone's

  • 100% same mentality here and thats why i love iPhone. i must say that the top market now should be focus more on security feature a TOTAL security, which apple can give to their consumers &#128077;&#127996;&#128077;&#127­996;&#128077;&#127996;

  • Well, I like the build quality, the OS, the speakers, the notch is pretty small in proportion to the device, and the battery life seems like it could be enough. Headphone jack isn't essential for me, though it's nice to have What I don't like is the price, the little and cheap quality stuff in the box, and the fact that all good phones are coming next year

  • Lovely phone!! Wish I could afford one haha, I'll keep my SE for a while :D

  • Pros n cons both are 5 in a 1 lakh above phone.actualy I did not like the device.by the way I did not like notches.

  • Now that's disappointing, bigger battery should be accounted but, is it AMOLED does the saving? 79h endurance? they should really learn before they get bigger in sizes. Huawei have the full right to tease Apple, for now..

  • I guess that will depend on what you like and how much you're willing to spend.

  • Thank you for understanding. In all seriousness though, I don't know whether to get this iPhone XS Max. It's expensive, but it's got a massive screen in the sane body as my 6 Plus

  • Fair enough

  • Not9

  • LG makes around 4 mil. pcs., the rest is samsung

  • After a bug -fix season ( September) , iPhone XR is the flawless phone with the best performance and the best A12 bionic processor and also best price tag

  • Because review is not done yet.

  • Looks as though Apple has a few issues with their new releases. Poor Wifi, call quality, charging and now massaging. If you drop a stack or more you should expect better performance!

  • FYI the display is made LG not Samsung. Stop spreading BS lies.

  • Stop mentioning Huawei here. Not even worth mentioning. Its display and camera aren't even close to Apple and Samsung. And don't forget the iOS wanna be EMUI.

  • Note 9 is cheaper by what? $200? And you get a phone with the same design, same camera, same display, no Android 9 PIE, still using QC 2.0, more storage coz they added more bloatwares and useless gimmicks.

  • Here we go again with the nerd customization thing

  • Everyone knows that Note 9 is a much better device than iPhone xs max. Both in capabilities and design but the only reason I'll buy iPhone over it is Android. You can't trust any device running on Android not because of hackers but Google has a big mission of collecting and misusing everyone's information. There's no option left in market except buying an iPhone

  • Why no battery endutance rating mentioned????

  • And then he better wake himself up and buy a real, decent SMARTphone lol.

  • The A in Apple Stands for Android. No customisation.

  • still doesnt charge

  • They are underestimating the competition with this pricing strategy so high. Android is now mature, and so are the devices using it. Times have changed, and Apple is not adapting. I foresee an important sales decline during 2019.

  • You have to wake it up lol

  • you are stuck with fruits and you dont realise they made a fruit cake of you !

  • UPDATE: It now seems like the issue is not with Antenna but with the bad quality of Intel Modem comparing to Qualcomm modem. As we all know the IPhone this year is using Intel modem. Intel modem versions of IPhone 7plus, 8plus and this IPhone XS Max - they all have call cutting in and out when the internet speeds are super slow which is in overly congested area or inside the very low signal building. My friends have the Intel version of 7plus and 8plus and they have the same issue Imduring very low internet speeds in Times Square. I never had this problem with Qualcomm version of iPhone 7plus or 8plus or any Samsung phone in the same congested Times Square area. We must demand from Apple to get back to Qualcomm modems! No other brand has an issue of working with Qualcomm, only Apple does.

  • And what android phone doesn't have fast charge? Some $100 toy, lol. My rwdmi 5 plus does, and it costs less $200.

  • If you're talking about value for money then the note9 destroys the mate 10 pro.

  • Checked the pictures of the bottom, and there's literally enough space to add in a headphone jack.

  • XZ3 is cheaper than note9 though..

  • buy*

  • Don't show dumb comment here, I check the iPhone charging rate, it is same as those non fast charging Android phone, about typical at 5V 1A, so it would probably just use a bit more than 2 hours to fully charge this 3140mah battery. Those fast charger for Android, they doesn't goes super fast either, fastest might be within 90 minutes, but average at around 105 to 160 minutes, depend on battery capacity. This fast charger thing is not going fast all the time, around 80% capacity it will slow down the charging, it only goes fastest between 10% to 80%. Each manufacturer also got their own fast charging behavior, some just stick at around 10 to 12W, never go higher than that, some stick at 15W. Some goes all the way to 18W, then some only goes fastest when screen is off, some have to wait 1 minutes screen off only goes fastest. Mix and match, at the end it might just save 45 to 15 minutes if fast charging from 0% to 100%, the fastest charging rate is before 70%. Just want to be realistic, anyway.

  • this phone wont charge why?

  • Note9 is cheaper than iPhone cos u get lots of features plus s pen I would day go for note 9..

  • I am using a Huawei Mate 10 Pro, I get 2 days battery life, 6 gig ram and the phone only takes 60 min to charge. 20 minutes is 50% so 20 min equals one day battery life. It also has infrared so you can operate a TV, air con or projector with the phone. The Note 9 has stronger ram compared to IPhone but personally Huawei all the way. It's about Value for money read reviews of Mate 10 pro and Note 9

  • I will tell you the biggest difference is apple is great if you just want to use facebook whatsapp and all the apps calling video calling etc.. and in android not only all the apps.. internet websites you will find all the apps in apk format so you dont have to pay for all the apps & iphone you cant download from internet movies music from websites but in android you can.. samsung galaxy note 9 is mindblowing phone samsung galaxy note 9 is like 10 years ahead of iphone in all the technology.. try using apple phones when there is water on screen galaxy note 9 you can use underwater can type also note 9 is the best phone. If you are spending so much spend on note 9.. note 9 please buy

  • i want to bye that

  • i am big apple fan and using all models from iphone 4 till now IPHONE X max apple want his customer to wait 4 hours for full charge mobile this is really unfair and this act will keep distance apple fan guys far from apple you guys really stupid or we are stupid to pay lot of money for charging a phone 4 hours go to hell apple

  • hi, i need help please i don't know which one to buy between ip xs max and sg note 9 . i need good reason for buying one of them, thanks

  • This is the typical Apple apologist comment. People complains because Android's much cheaper models do include the fast charger in the box even if it is costing just 10€, any other reasons for Apple not including it in the box if it is "not much money"? Reducing cost as the general big company reason? It also doesn't include the "Lightning-to-3.5mm adapter" in the box. Tell me anything to protect iPhone again? "Moving on to wireless" as the forced reason? It is the unfair logic for Apple fanboy. When an Android smartphone doesn't include it, they all bash it until no end. When an iPhone doesn't include a fast charger, they just ignore and forgive it. Yes, it is not much money to buy a separate one when you already can spend for such expensive smartphone, but we are talking about a phone that is more than $1000 dollar here, not $300 dollar, they keep asking more money for full potential functionality.

  • Everybody is complaining about the missing fast charger, yet most „normal“ people charge their phone at night so it doesn‘t make a difference except that your battery gets less damage. If you want fast charging, there are 24W Anker adaptors for 10€ on Amazon, and that really isn‘t much money.

  • The beauty mode is a software issue

  • Hi.. i am into business tech since last 20 yrs.. so many business of electronics phones service repairing i mean we also tie ups with most of the reviews websites/youtubers. I know you read this and need help regarding iphone xs max.. let me help you with it, i will suggest you wait 6months before you buy it now please.. buy after february price will be little less & problems will be resolved. Problems are intel modem poor reception fr calls internet data speed etc. and selfie camera autmatic by default beauty mode which will be resolved in the next batch of iphones. And regarding fast charging it works great with any brand superfast new chargers samsung/huawei etc so dont spend on apple chargers ok. If you want to buy now get the pocophone 128gb or 256gb 8gb ram and trust me its the best phone in that so low price we have tested and no problems at all which gives you same 3 times more priced phone specs. And get the airpods its the best thing you will never regret airpods.. the airpods sales worldwide right now has picked up because its the best investment you will ever do.

  • I baught iphone x max 3days ago.i lover for iphone since iphone4.i got into trouble after using MAX.its very bad experience for voice net problem and weak wifi signal.call drops after drops or no network.people does not get me my x max phone due to bad voice net problem.i hope that Apple solve this problem as soon as possible in short time by upgrading software.

  • Guys, don't forget to sign up or log in GSMArena to tick Become a Fan of the iPhone XS Max, I want to see the good old days when a phone like HTC One M7 got like 4000 hearts. Can this model get 2000 hearts?

  • At BEST If you're gonna be getting a phone that costs 1100 USD minimum please Apple include a better charging brick 10 years and you're still implanting slow chargers for your flagships

  • Just got mine yesterday..gold..256gb..this is absolutely amazing.. However to be honest..a mid ranger have a better battery life.. You at least expect 3500 plus battery for this size and price tag..sucks.. Nevertheless the best iPhone ever had.. Amazing camera..super loud speakers.. A12 makes a difference believe it or not.. Almost doubles the performance with the new GPU.. I am unfortunately within the fruit eco-system.. My advice..go for note 9 or The upcoming S10.. Cheers !

  • lol xD Best iPhone ever ?? screen made by Samsung then put it into apple HAHA !! very funny

  • Yes, paying much more to get less. Some people like it that way, to each his own.

  • Well Sony amd Samsung are bit different and provides their originality

  • LOL why do people keep repeating how it was different during Jobs? The first iPhone didn't even have GPS or 3G, not to mention iOS was even much more crippled for years. And iPhones were behind the competition even at CPUs. It's always been "less for more" with iPhones and Apple. Well, in the last 10 years or so, at least.

  • Why is none of the big phone makers implementing dual frequency GNSS with a Broadcom BCM47755 chip ?

  • Jobs era: at the cost of purchasing only the best supplier parts, making the best smartphone! Cook: Purchasing cheap supplier parts to make the world's most profitable smartphone...

  • Yes because Mi Mix already had a notch and no bottom bezel and everyone copied that instead of the iPhone X /s

  • Lol BIG NO NO, Samsung gave the best displays

  • £336 to make apple sell for £1,249

  • UPDATE: Upon further investigation of my iPhone XS MAX issue where my side of conversation is cutting in and out or completely disappearing in congested areas or low signal buildings, I found out that new iPhones have lower RF output according to FCC testing. It’s is obvious now that bad antenna or bad firmware that controls the antenna has been put in latest iPhones. The intel’s modem Speeds are great, however. I get consistently 1.3 - 1.4 times faster Average download speeds comparing to my Qalcomm version of iPhone 7plus. Galaxy note 8 is also 1.3-1.4 times faster download speeds comparing to 7plus.

  • Mi Mix was the phone which started the current bezel-less trend. Apple hasn't been innovative since the days of Jobs.

  • This joke is so constructed it's absolutely not funny

  • Best Display in the world? AMOLED with HDR 10 support, True Tone in impressive 6.5' inch size. Best iPhone ever.

  • And it takes just as much to drain :D

  • I’m facing the same problem with my XS that I received yesterday. At home , where my T-Mobile signal strength is 40%-45% and at one fast food restaurant where the signal is about the same. I never had any issues with calls whe used my iPhone 8plus at the same places with the same medium signal strength. Now people tell me that they can’t hear me sometimes. How did I measure the signal strength in these buildings ? Obviously with my friend’s android phone since IOS doesn’t let users to read the actual signal strength.

  • Yes it's true

  • 1) Yes it does! Because the phone still comes with a slow charger. For me that’s not really an issue since the most important thing is that it does charges fast with a fast charging portable battery ( aka power bank ). Who cares if it takes 3 hours to charge when you are sleeping. 2) The most important flow of this phone is its modem or antenna! On one side the phone’s modem ( Intel modem ) is faster than Qualcomm modem in iPhone 7 Plus (this phone and galaxy note 8 phone produce download speeds 1.3 times faster than Qualcomm version of iPhone 7 Plus). Also this phone and galaxy note 8 phone , both catch LTE signal faster than Qualcomm versions of iPhone 7plus and 8 Plus when you go from no signal to signal zone. 2) on the other side in congested areas or in low signal buildings the call is cutting in and out ( you can hear people but they complaint that your side is cutting in and out ) comparing to previous iPhones with Qualcomm modems. My friend has 7 Plus previous with Intel modem has the same issue as this Intel Xs max phone.

  • Does it takes 3 hours for the battery to fully charge this phone, correct me if I'm wrong?

  • LOL of course i haven't tried an iPhone. Do i need to taste s**t to know that i definitely won't like it (Although there are people who do...just like some people like iPhones..)? The truth is not only i wouldn't buy it at a mid-range price, i'd refuse to use it even if THEY paid me the price it costs to use it with no option to use Android phone. And no, i don't praise any android brand. In fact, i don't like any of them and the reason is exactly because they all are blind Apple followers who can't stop thinking of ways to cripple their phones. Still, with more efforts, you could still buy a decent Android phone and the OS, of course, is another major advantage.

  • I’m using the iPhone XS MAX since and already see the results of Apple using Intel modem in it (yes the unlocked version of iPhone now using the intel modem as well and it’s been verified ! ). In Times Square (Highly congested area) and in a couple of low signal buildings my side of the call is cutting in and out. When I used iphone 7plus with Qualcomm modem in it, there never been such issues in the same places. It’s really a shame because download speeds of this modem are are 1.3 times faster than previous modems but in low signal or congested areas it’s behind slower Qualcomm modem.

  • Iphone XS max I am coming to take you out

  • Things have to be different for people to compare them.

  • What a ridiculous statement. Thinking someone buys an android device because they can't afford and iPhone. Android and iOS are different but to say the devices can't be compared is fanboy swill. Android devices are now at the level of iPhone's in UI functionality and performance. Your glorious iPhone isn't any faster nor is it more efficient. Apple has done a miserable job with Core Architecture on the Bionic Chipsets. They overheat, have to throttle back after a few minutes use and need to close background apps due to poor RAM Management. When features are compared, top shelf android devices put iPhones best to shame. Apple has been attempting to play catch up with AMLOD Immersive Displays, Wireless Charging, Battery Capacity, Memory Capacity, Dual SIMS and Camera Functionality. What truly sets top shelf android devices apart is VALUE. The Galaxy S9 Plus is butter smooth, has more features at half the price of Apple's XS Max. Anyone with just two brain cells to rub together will throw rocks at the over priced and over rated iPhones! If you want to fill Tim Cook's pockets be my guest but you'll be stuck with a butt ugly notch on a phone that's trying to catch up!

  • The fact that they have different version (dual nano-sim) of this phone selling in china and HK, makes me wanna refund my current brand new iPhone XS Max FFS.

  • its true what you are saying but i saw another video on youtube as well where sammy won by 1 minute againts apples new iphone but you gotta remember sammy is using qhd+ screen, iphone is just using super amoled screen,sammy has this new bluetooth s-pen apple dont have that you gotta remember the more things you implement in a phone the less its gonna last i dont hate apple i use to own an iphone before but i choosed sammy after that you should look for that video on youtube though not all phone comparisons are same cheers...

  • I am a proud owner of an iphone 5 since it was first released. I have to say that this phone never disappointed me, I never had to take it to the service, it still works flawlessly. I don’t care about the tech spec of other phones and I don’t care about the high price of iphones, because iphones are longlasting, you don’t have to replace them every two years. The only reason why I won’t buy iphone XS (max) is that my current iphone still works. I wonder why all the iphone haters come and comment here, let just the real iphone users come and share their experience. I don’t want to read piles of irrelevant comments.

  • OEMs have to rethink about 3.5mm headphone jack because Samsung can put entire stylus (s-pen) along with headphone jack.

  • iphone xs max is like Note 9 after Thanos snapped his finger (no headphone jack, no fingerprint scanner, no fast charger in box, no sd card slot) with high end price !!!

  • Just stfu u dun even know how apple works.Apple softwarres are incredible than samsung and any other android phones In youtube i saw a video with the same brightness for evrall phones includes samsung note 9 one plus 6 iphone xs max iphone xs and iphone x.The first one to die was iphone x ofcourse but the things is iphone xs wins in the second place just beating the samsung note 9 with it’s big 4000mah battery.Dude open ur eyes.Iphone may have the smallest battery in phones that are flagship but they hv the best software to save battery and why does samsung galaxy note 9 lose?coz it’s such a loser.It uses battery 4000 mah battery but it lose to a small iphone xs with 27++battery.Lol it sucks yow.

  • And you're going to charge your phone for the 5,333 hours?

  • You do not know the business strategy of Apple...

  • LOL... it does not mean that there is no interest to buy an iPhone XS Max anywhere in the world... Apple exactly know, what will make their buyers interested to buy an iPhone...

  • Yeah, you seem to be very well informed... ...take a short trip through reality: thanks to realtime H.265 compression (since iphone 7 in 2016), with 512 GB of internal storage you can record about 3200 minutes (or 53,33 hours) in 4k @ 30 fps. And yes, of course the battery will be drained long before you reach that limit...

  • no you are wrong iphone x copied Essential phone's design.search it if you don't know

  • i am a high end samsung user but i will always buy new apple devices on 1st day released.

  • Wow, so you are proud that your phone limits video recording to 10 minutes

  • Wrong. I have a Note 8 and it limits 4K to 10 mins. I doubt the Note 9 records less being it has superior cooling tech. Will. soon know, am buying a 9 today if they are back in stock.

  • How do you know Note 9. sales are rotten? I was in Carphone Warehouse yesterday to buy a Note 9 and for the 3rd time, they had sold out. I.asked to see an XS Max demo unit to see how big it is, just a bit shorter than Note. Anyway, staff said almost no interest in the new iPhone. Note 9 innivations, such as S-Pen remote etc make it a far better value prop. Am thing back today to get one. All said, am sure plenty of people with money and love of bling and iOS will buy the iPhone at Christmas.

  • "IPhones can record 4k until the storage gets full." Well that won't take long due to their inability to increase storage via microSD card. But before that, the average-small batteries will run out of juice.

  • And iphone X design not patented too, so everyone can use that, when fanboy talking.

  • They didn't copied the feature. It's not patented so everyone can use it. And also don't forget that all Chinese smartphones copied iPhone X design.

  • Guess what? Note 9 sales are rotten. XZ3 won't even sell more than 10M units.

  • Apple market shares won't decline. No ground-breaking innovation? Are there ground-breaking innovations with the competition? Even Samsung used the same old design on their $1000 phone.

  • You think all the people should stop buying iPhones? Why? Why do you care how people spend their money? If you think it's expensive and it's not worth it and there are better options out there, don't buy it. Simple as that.

  • First of all. Note 9 can't even record more than 5 mins of 4k because it will heat up and shut down the phone. iPhones can record 4k until the storage gets full. So who's restricting features on their phones now?

  • "Notch apple's own creation will destroy apple" Dafuq you talking about? That notch was being copied by almost all android OEM's right now. So you're saying that all android OEMs will destroy themselves too? Lmao

  • For everyone saying the XS Max does not have a 2K screen: 2k is not 1440p. 2k is having 2000+ pixels along the horizontal axis (in the case of smartphones, vertical) which means 1440p (QuadHD) has a vertical pixel count of 2560, which is about 2000, hence making it 2K. QuadHD and 2K are not the same thing. The XS Max has a vertical pixel count of 2688 which is above 2000, which technically makes it 2K, even though it doesn't meet the 1440p horizontal mark. So yes, the XS Max's screen is 2K, but not QuadHD. P.S. I don't like Apple, I like facts.

  • Gadget freak. That's the most funniest word I've ever heard in my life. Lmao

  • Are you okay?

  • No card slot, no IR, no 3,5mm jack, no heart rate senzor, no radio, no 5000 mAh battery, no USB 3.1, OMG

  • I feel sorry for us, the thinking and self-respecting people who know what they want. We may not be Apple customers, but we still suffer the consequences of fan-boyism. If it weren't for them, non-removable batteries, missing 3.5mm jacks or prices like the ones we're "used to" today would be unthinkable.

  • I fooled some collegues this week wit my shiny carbon fibre &#9658;Umidigi Z2 Pro&#9668; China-250 dollar bugdet-flagship saying that i got my hands on a pre-production model of the Apple Xs :-) And they really believed it! Apple is not there yet in terms of inventions and making things possible. For all the Apple-fans (and their mums&daddy's) out there, I really feel sorry for you that it is heavilly ovepriced.(all models)

  • LOL haven't you heared? If the ophone lacks something (OR is bad at it), "nobody really needs it" (Like they didn't need powerful Soc when they were behind the competition at that too). As for the battery...they've always had one of the worst battery backups (When it comes to actual usage, especially on mobile data. Not standby or WiFi browsing and WiFi texting on facebook), so any sane person would expect the same from the new iPhones, especially knowing the battery capacity.

  • LOL what? Nobody [lays video on his phone outdoors? So you're saying the battery is great...as long as you leave you phone alone? LMAO classic Apple fan-boy.

  • iphone max or what ever not a 2k screen as the company claim..its only a fhd+. it cant play any video which is 1440p on toutube or any app..now if this thing happend with samsung or sony the world willl classify sam and sony as a cheaters..but with apple there is no pro..for their lies..always cons is for sony and samsung..but nothing for apple..Damn

  • iphone max or ehat everis not a 2k screen as the company claim..its only a fhd+. it cant play any video which is 1440p..now if this thing happend with samsung ir sony the wolrd willl classify sam and sony as a cheaters..but with apple there is no problem yeah !!!!

  • 4gb ram no way

  • maybe you don't have experience about the Always On Display.....WOW nowadays very hard to find flagship phones without (AOD) Apple is still far away from the latest technologies, Other Phone manufacturing companies going forward, But sorry for Apple... Comes to SD cards....only Apple not include this feature in a iPhone, Sad..... Quick charger not include in the box, Need to spend more money to buy this Sorry for Apple...

  • Why notch? Yuk. It looks soooooo ugly.

  • Great, thanks for letting us know.

  • It’s good, don’t buy more stocks for others :-)

  • Yeah exactly. I am a gadget freak and fan of apple but because of the notch I started hating apple now.

  • I always bought every new released of iPhone but this year I will not buy just because of the notch. I will stick to iphone 8 or may be I will buy Note 9. I just hate the notch in the phone. Feel sorry for the apple this year. Whatsapp destroyed blackberry, Windows destroyed Nokia and now this notch apple's own creation will deatroy apple.

  • With Apple's profit at 60 - 65% of an iPhone's retail price, I'll buy shares of Apple stocks, not their iPhones.

  • I really like this phone. It is so cool. My favorite colour is blue. I like to drink beer in the moat.

  • What I was really looking forward to are iPhone SE 2, iPad mini 5 and another iPod touch but hey who needs them

  • Totally agree iPhone 8 Plus had the best battery of any phone last year (he's obviously been watching paki youtubers Max the brightness out and play videos for 2 hours straight.. nobody does that), and this phone is even better. This IS the best smartphone on the market, period.

  • >> No Always On Display What do you need this for? >> No Quick Charge Probably unhealthy for the battery >>No Micro SD card slot Apple never will. Get used to it >>Poor Battery Is this your experience?

  • I will agree to that!

  • And Apple users used to always boast about "feel" and "user experience" (Funny, that's what the iPhone has always been worst at), but now when Apple tops benchmark tests, suddenly it's a great "feature".

  • What are you talking about the benchmarks are still better at the Samsung Galaxy S9+,

  • whas it you that you say Android Phones use unnecessary big screen!

  • Android users used to always boast about benchmarks but now when Apple has them beat they say benchmarks are no longer necessary. Shame

  • the screenshot is incorrect

  • am expecting more form iphone Steve... 3700 mah

  • Surface or the screenshots and ratio aren't right. Surface of notch and round corner should be take in consideration

  • Antutu in 2018? LOL Benchmarks are worthless right now, what does matter is the real life performance.

  • apple is crap they are rip offs iPhone died with steve jobs

  • funny how huawei is still out doing apple with more than half the market value phones, its a shame to see such little variations in the battery life with the XS, XR and XS MAX

  • Antutu? That doesn't apply on most people anyway.

  • apple died with steve jobs. now its just newer versions with little improvements, like eating an expensive burger with a tiny pattie &#128514;&#128514;&#128514;

  • noooooouuu ;-)What is the antutu scoring of Apple i Phone XS Max 64 GB? v7 Antutu of Apple iPhone Xs Max 64 GB is>>>> 363.500

  • Apple iPhone XS, XR and XS Max battery capacities revealed... iPhone XS 2658 mAh Battery iPhone XR 2942 mAh Battery iPhone XS MAX 3174 mAh Battery iPhone X 2017 has 2716 mAh Battery very poor battery backup....

  • OMG!..so expensive.

  • noooooouuu ;-)

  • ofc the LCD is much better with the battery, it's not even 1080p in 2018

  • Benchmarks have little effect on any device's overall performance. UI functionality and real time processing between apps and programs will be indistinguishable for the A12 and Snapdragon 855 chipsets.

  • Big battery, but Apple said that the budget friendly XR has the best endurance of the bunch! So, that means their very own LCD displays are better on optimizing with the battery than Samsung's OLED?

  • Benchmarks show it is vastly more powerful and faster than any other phone lol. Check Tom's Guide: iPhone XS Benchmark .

  • But you can't disagree note 9 is better

  • 1250 EUR or $1459.07? i don't think so...this is me·di·o·cre spec. if you compare to Android device.

  • Non-removable Li-Ion 3174 mAh battery

  • iPhone XS Max: 3,174 mAh iPhone XS: 2,658 mAh iPhone XR: 2,942 mAh

  • What is battery capacity? Its not specified

  • get a videocam instead

  • Yeah sure. just the A12 processor is good and the whole phone itself is full of crap. yeah sure. XDDD

  • You are clearly brainwashed. The 960fps recording is 480p upscaled and is useless. Google it plus it's only recording for a few seconds. Also the Note can record 4k for a few minutes only. Get real. When you grow up try buying an iphone for a change like most people in the West do and if you don't like it sell it and switch back to Samsung. If you don't pirate things and have a life there's no reason not to try the iPhone over a Note 9.

  • battery life problems on phones costing more than a small car do apple care ? Is there gonna be a fast charger in the box when the phones are released? One good thing with samsung fast charger in the box no extra charge

  • Terrible battery for a $1000+ phone. iPhone is a joke.

  • Did u just say 2800mh????? holy shit... is apple degrading down or wht???

  • I understand one thing pretty sure that Apple, Google, Samsung etc are becoming Trillion dollars companies and none of its users are. So leave them there itself. Your life will not be impacted even an iota if you don't use their products. Stay happy and be helpful to someone.

  • Unfortunately life is completely ruined by two things: Extremely evil and insane corporations. Extremely huge amount of extremely dumb people. There's nowhere to hide/escape.

  • iPhone Xs battery size is 2800 mAh iPhone Xs Max battery size is 3400 mAh No news on the iPhone Xr as yet

  • For crying out loud you people on here need to go get a life. Just go and enjoy life and enjoy whatever phone you want, stop arguing about who's better than who. It's not important it doesn't matter. Get a grip

  • iPhone XR - 2716 mAh iPhone X - 2716 mAh iPhone XS - 2800 mAh iPhone XS Max - 3400 mAh

  • GSM'S Long Term Review of Galaxy S9 Plus states: The Galaxy S9+ is incredibly fast, as it should be given the hardware inside. It remains fast no matter what you do. And, amazingly for a Samsung device, we've encountered almost no stutters or lags throughout our use. In our time with the phone, performance didn't show any signs of degrading. We didn't feel it slowing down, and we didn't need to reboot it in order to make things go faster. We didn't employ the 'fixes' suggested by the Device Maintenance section in Settings, nor did we switch Performance mode from its default of Optimized. And the S9 Plus has a Snapdragon 854 Chipset. The Galaxy S10 has a more advanced chipset in the Snapdragon 855 with 7 nM SoC as well. It is also a 5G compatible modem which isn't the case with the A12 Bionic. With respect to engineering and design Snapdragon is far superior. The 855 chipset is half the size of the A12. Qualcomm could easily develop a faster chipset if it decided to make it bigger but it doesn't since it supplies round 100 different manufacturers where size and cost are primarily considerations. Apple only supplies it's own devices and doesn't care about cost as reflected in it's pricing. Here's what matters with the A12 Bionic, will it be Thermally Constrained like the A11? A11's have blazing fast Single Core benchmarks but have to quickly throttled back due to overheating. This slows down the processing and generates lag as well. Also Chip Architecture and RAM Management in the A11 are glaring defects since they require background apps to close in order to power the next process. One thing is certain, UI functionality and real time processing between apps and programs will be indistinguishable for the A12 and Snapdragon 855 chipsets.

  • Does anyone know how many mAh do the XS Max, XS and XR have?

  • @Matias you not only get a headphone jack but an actual headphone alone with the Note9 as well as incentives.

  • As per Apple's website, where is the battery capacity specified? Or is it being sold separately just like Apple is selling fast charger and headphone jack dongle separately?

  • Nowaday most flagship can record 4K 60fps. Thats not something special

  • Sure iPhone can record 4K60 footage but can this iPhone record @960fps? Can this iPhone take pictures remotely? Does this iPhone provide external memory option to store that big and extra length footage? Does the iPhone have that 4000mAh long lasting battery to go the distance and capture way more video before the battery dies? Nope??? Heck, even nobody knows the battery capacity of these iPhones. Is the battery sold separately just like they're selling fast charger and headphone jack dongle separately? Then why you're being so confident about the only video worthy feature being 4K60fps Option on iPhone while Galaxy Note 9 gives you more and more features and options than any iPhone. Clearly Note 9 is the winner.

  • as per apple's website it can record 4k @60fps too

  • yes android is less boring and more option and yes android is cheper and yes apple did not change much this time on the iPhone max but i will not change apple for an android never. I tried but i can't use and android for more than 3 day (horrible just horrible to use ) apple just works and is fantastic is dose what is asked to do nothing more or less

  • Serously? Galaxy note 9 has 4K 60fps dude. Mobile phone always never cant beat laptop or pc performance.

  • This is the reason why notch become trendy.

  • Exactly Bobby, the A12 Bionic has the smallest transistors in any smart phone and even better then your high end computers at 7nm. thats just mind blowing how small that is. thats means you can fit a lot more transistors so you have a lot more power. I also just Noticed that the iPhone Xs has 4k at 60 FPS and slow mo at 1080P. most others only have 4k at 30 FPS. Much more Superior then all the other smart phones and no crashing or bugs like the android always have after a months use.

  • Just dont forget, recording 4K so eat storage space. Lack expandable memory is another stupidity

  • Actually the A12 chip is stronger than the snapdragon chip! Just watch a YouTube clip, and stop being arrogant

  • iPhone X will not be dubbed as "iPhone 10" and now eqipped with awe-aspiring iOS 12.

  • Especially if the great SoC is combined with a crippled OS and a micro battery. Completely useless. Especially if overheats like crazy, the way previuos "great" SoC did. LOL. Apple. Can't and won't make even one thing right (Except for the great speakers, i give them that. Took them only 10 years).

  • Spent $1000+ just for the superior Soc and terrible specs is a stupid decision.

  • i think that apple is stuck on time and i changed my iphone 8 for Huawei p20 pro and i am total satisfied with this one. if you compare the iphone 8, x and now this one it feels like same.

  • Yeah, Note 9 was the best thing I ever had. I got free gifts as well worth 200 bucks.

  • Yeah, I am glad, I did not wait for this and decided to go with the Note 9. No more apple for me (ooops, I am still using my iPad), lol, I meant, no more iPhones for me.

  • Oh definitely, please ignore that guy who said to go for note 9. You do not want an outdated snapdragon 845 chip with heavy samsung skin on top of it. Apple's A12 Bionic is superior.

  • Agreed and you also get a headphone jack with the Note 9 :)

  • shut up and take my money!!!

  • Ever heard of Galaxy Note 9? Nope??? If not then go see the speclist, compare it with this phone, use your mind and save your money. Thank me later.

  • Im gonna buy Iphone Xs max, spacegray 512gb. Price here is 1679 euros. Best phone you can buy right now for sure.

  • Let me see if I understand your problem You’re looking for a TOP grade piece of technology ( according to some ) and at bargain price I know exactly the solution for that problem , it worked for me too , a while back I was in your shoes looking around for a top performance German product , too expensive and really not top performance after a closer look , so I went out and got the performance I craved from a different manufacturer , less hip , maintenance, and less BS Dude , one can only afford what one can afford , move on or get a loan on it , good luck and stop whining

  • Well then, Note 9 is the best choice for you. Better bang for your buck. Plus you get a headphone jack, Super AMOLED Samsung display, NO UGLY NOTCH, 4000mAh long lasting battery, an SD card slot, An S-Pen with Bluetooth capabilities, Fingerprint sensor faster than Touch ID. Android freedom. Bixby + Google Assistant both. If you want the Pixel experience then you can pixelize it anyway.

  • If your carrier similiar with chinese band freq

  • I'm really angry with Apple this year. I have been using my Pixel 2 XL, and looking pictures of the pixel 3 XL, is obvious that no one will buy that thing. For that reason I wanted to switch to iOS again, hoping that the price of the biggest iPhone launched were the same than the iPhone X at launch. Now, the base model is $100 dollars more, and the 256 GB, the one I wanted, is $150 more than the others, so the thing become too expensive. I'm feeling really complicated with the decision. I didn't liked the Note8 when I used it, and Stock for me is a must-have, at least in Android terms. WaterProffing also is a must-have, so no Chinese phone, Oppo, OP, vivo. Sony and HTC didn't make it great, bad placement of the fingerprint/bad use of squeeze technology. A really great phone overall is only granted by Samsung at this time, and is the only company that I don't want to buy a phone right now, just can't believe this. Hoping that the Pixel 3 XL will be made of another material that the plastic feeling of the 2 XL, and also not a big price like this sexy/golden phone. I wish everyday for living at USA and buying this thing at the price launched, in dollars.

  • I'm agree with everyone so much price for mobile

  • Tim Cook : Yes

  • Will Chinese variant dual sim slot iphone xs max work in other countries

  • So much Price for ios

  • Note 9 is better for you. Bigger internal memory, expandable storage, real dual sim slot, better display quality, headphone jack, and better loudspeaker.

  • I think all the people should stop buying iPhones...you have plenty of options Samsung / One Plus/ Vivo or Oppo or Motorola etc...

  • The new iPhones have exorbitantly high asking prices....No ground-breaking innovation ...or Major upgrade...Apple Inc’s market share will decline...those high prices can not be justified ....

  • Is this 2014?

  • Apple's Pricing in my country is CRAZY!!! A base model iPhone XS Max (64GB) is 80 dollars more than the Price of 512 GB Note 9??? ridiculous!!! I don't see the point of buying this device.

  • LG hardware... yikes!

  • Yeah, they tried to copy the Chinese but couldn't even copy it right, lol

  • According to a report in The Bell, not all the Galaxy S10 models will be 5G capable and the company will instead launch a separate 5G variant based on the Galaxy S10+.

  • Yep. And iOS is crippled too, so they are behind the competition in everything, except for meaning benchmark scores...and prices too.

  • Iphone x has multitasking issues due low ram capasity. Thats the real reason why apple stop producing

  • Basically what attracts people to iphone is ios. Andriod is quite hard to use so if they improve it, more people will buy android.

  • The only feature which sets iPhone's apart from other devices is it's iOS and Chipsets. They are unique but not necessarily better. The A11 Bionic chipset has chart topping single core speed but it slows down and heats up within minutes. Due to poor RAM Management various background apps are forced to close to accommodate the next process. The cause is attributed to Apple's poorly designed Core Architecture. Some iPhone devotees will refute this but it's well documented. Anandtech "When we’re looking at competitor devices we see only the iPhone X able to compete with the last generation Snapdragon 845 devices – however with a catch. The A11 is severely thermally constrained and is only able to achieve these scores when the devices are cold. Indeed as seen from the smaller score of the iPhone 8, the SoC isn’t able to sustain maximum performance for even one benchmark run before having to throttle". For the time being let's assume the A12 Bionic chipset has overcome these deficiencies, even though as yet there's little information in this regard. In practical UI functions, iPhones are losing ground to android devices with respect to performance. It's at the point where there's little or no difference in how quickly a device responds when moving through apps or programs. No doubt iPhone has butter smooth functionality however newer, top tier android devices have overcome past issues with lag or shuddering. So with this in mind, unless you're a die hard Apple fanboy, it's getting harder and harder to justify price/value considerations for Apple's flagships. As previously mentioned the XS Max, 512 Gb is $1,449.00 USD. Add in AppleCare and tax, you're paying almost $1,800.00 USD and in box comes only one extra, earpods. I think it's safe to assume at this price point there will be a lot more Apple customers happy to cut ties and chose a comparable android device for close to half the price.

  • overpriced phone, looks pretty much the same as previous version and it is more expensive. Sadly, Samsung is doing the same. is there any descent phone manufacturer today? maybe xiaomi or oneplus

  • Good point plus it's manufactured by LG whose displays had backlight bleed through issues.

  • Your statement is completely false. PPI is important to determine how good the resolution of a phone screen is in relation to its size.

  • Most phone users are less tech savy and Android world have them lot lot more.

  • Price €1649 in the Netherlands. That's $1920 USD. Crazy!

  • Where is the battery capacity value? is it so that battery will be sold separately or won't be available at all just like they didn't supply the headphone jack dongle???

  • Less tech savvy? Not at all. Why make it more complicated than it needs to be? Keep it simple.

  • 10S max maybe. :)

  • Which version is 1850 USD?

  • Most apple users are less tech savvy. You cant blame them

  • Who cares about ppi? Only people not knowing anything about phones

  • What LCD?

  • It isn‘t, and that‘s a fact.

  • LOL but that's one of the major weaknesses. Yea it has more "updates", but what's the point when it's still behind a 4 year old Android version.

  • Who will pay $850 for outdated LCD Panel display

  • Thats untrue. Let me ask you, what can't android do that iOS did?

  • Actually this is one of the cheapest amoled displays. Apple is trying to milk the idiots as much as they can. In my country iPhone X started over 1500 $ and now is on 1200-1300 $. How much do you think XS Max will cost ? F*uck apple :) Xperia XZ Premium is 500 $ and has ~800 ppi. And is a lot better.

  • still you cant comprmize about the operating system its running ios and the end you paying for the software update that running on this pocket computer i dont justfy the price but you cant buy ios in somewhare else , you have 10000 android smartphone manufacters but non of them really make the software work batter

  • for such a large display should be at least 550 ppi. There was a time Apple was leading and all others were following. Sonys xz3 and all samsung notes will blow this display out of the water

  • In my country, iPhone 10S is 250,000,000 IRR :D

  • In Australia the iphone xs is $1500 and the macbook pro (2017) is $1900. This iphone cant run final cut pro too

  • Still no radio, no card slot, no functional NFC for transferring files, no functional bluetooth for transferring files/documents, no 3,5mm audio jack, no dongle for headphones/earphones in the box. But first ever, this can record videos with audio in stereo. It took them about 10 years, maybe radio and other stuff above mentioned, will be available in 10 years. Phones for 100 euros and less does have all that

  • They didn't, actuly. They only introduced their own crippled version, like they always do. It's not real dual sum, it's just sim+esim (non-physical sim). If they start to copy chinese manufacturers, they might at least come up with a half-decent phone (With iOS it will never be really decent no matter what they do with the hardware)

  • In order to achieve an ultra high 65% gross margin, they can only put 3GB of RAM in a $1000 phone. Great business decision.

  • Apple just copied Chinese OEMs on dual SIM Go look up Oppo Find X, Honor Magic 2 and Mi Mix 3, true bezel-less designs without the ugly notch. They innovated while Cook was too busy jacking up prices and cutting cost.

  • iphone xs max has LG OLED PANEL , iphone xs has samsung amoled panels&#65279;

  • There is no iphone 11

  • Lol 157x77x77, same as pixel 2 xl and lower then note 9 and s9+...what are u talking about?

  • Wrong, Samsung S9, 4 OS upgrades in 6 months.

  • The iPhone XS Max looks to be a good device but not many improvements over the iPhone X. The dual SIM's, 512 Gb internal memory and a larger display were needed upgrades but that's about it. The price is the deal breaker, at $1,648.00 with AppleCare plus tax it's pushing $1800.00 and that price doesn't include any accessories! Sorry Apple but you've priced this device far beyond any reasonable value considerations.

  • This phone, with the 512GB option is 2000 CAD without tax and Apple Care...... This is $400 more than the 512 GB Galaxy Note 9....... I can get another phone with that $400 and still have expandable storage and a headphone jack......

  • in my country iphone xs max is 1300 euros

  • No it wont happen as 5g is not ready until end if 2019 so will be start from 2020 with new model included Samsung s11 not 10 neither other model such as Huawei. It start to test into 2019 then be ready from 2020

  • Apple just keeps getting better and better every year, love you Apple! ;D

  • I love iphone xs max

  • Disappointed iP Xr should be 6.3”..I may not want just 6.1” & can’t afford the Xs Max either

  • Wow, iPhone 11 will also come with 5G, what now?

  • Galaxy s10, xiaomi mi mix 3, one plus 7 will come with 5G

  • Anyone know size of battery?

  • i like the notch XR better.

  • Just gimmick

  • Last iphone x version has multitasking issues because come with small 3gb ram

  • Hmm! Over $1000 for a smartphone, this is outrageous. They may be good and durable but can't be that good. May be because I can't afford it. With the XS Max specs, I rather go for Xperia XZ3.

  • That company beat out Apple.

  • They come out of the same factory

  • iPhone 4 was a beatiful phone when it came out ...

  • It would have been if the iPhone offered a full day of (non-standby) battery life. But as we all know, it needs 2-3 charges a day. But it's ok, they want their phones not to use them, but to show them off anyway (Despite the fact that thair design have always been a complete failure. Pathetic screen to body ratios, huge notches, protruding cameras...there have never been a beutiful iPhone.).

  • Are the new phones 5G ready?

  • Iphone without Steve Jobs is like pizza without peperoni&#65279;

  • The A12 Bionic is superior that 4 GB RAM is already enough but it should be better if they use 6/8 GB RAM since it's a $1000 phone.

  • At least they have better specs (except Soc) and good value for money than overpriced iFruit.

  • Quick charge is a useless gimmick, HAHAHA! Good luck charging your iPhone when you're in a hurry.

  • Ois is about performance an optimization too not only apps or new features

  • Great machine &#128522;&#128522;&#128522;&#128­522;&#128522;&#128522;&#128522;&­#128522;&#128522;&#128522;&#128522;&­amp;#128522; Not for me Cant afford it.

  • get a job and stop complaining

  • boring

  • The best iphone ever made with a notch to rip off you!! 1250EUR for what f**king features!!? it can pass a drop test from plane!!!?

  • Apple for millionaires? I'm a 16 year old hs student and I can buy an iPhone every year.

  • Wake up? No one is forcing you to buy iPhones. Go buy android phones if you want always on display, quick charge and any other useless gimmicks.

  • Huawei, Oppo, Xiaomi: "And this is the best iPhone copycat we ever made!"

  • You are the joke. iPhones never had SD card support since the 1st iPhone. Headphone jack is not coming back. Even Google killed it on their phones.

  • Wow this is a beast! I wonder what Steve Jobs would think about :p I prefer smaller 'phones' but using this one must be an awesome experience. Price would be much too high for me but Apple makes many things right where Android phones suck a lot. I only use Android cause it's cheap

  • Well well well. When comes to terms how to loose its customers apple is still number one. Giving a very old man new shiny coat wont make anything better but worse. Now we see the results. As i expected apple proved they are conmpany which knowns how to walk backwards :-)

  • Maybe because the lowest storage option cost much less with 512Gb SD card compared to 512GB version of the phone.

  • You must be stupid to pay more than $1000 for a cellphone!!!

  • this is no phone! it is tablet... =3=

  • 74 hours in battery test. The best & only good things about the iPhone are two 1- The iOS is light on the chipset. 2- again about the iOS... It's always up to date.

  • you will find in term of performance

  • @Mujtaba Samer: you can't pay more than 1000$ only on IOS. It's only an Operating System. It's abnormal to pay that amount of money for an obsolete OS... It's 2018!

  • not much difference in specs from mi8 but what a huge price difference. numbers speak from themselves.how stupid they think we are???

  • Apple a boring company now

  • Still no expandable memory card and no 3.5 audio jack. What a joke

  • Apple were a good brand... emphasis on the word 'were'. They are starting drown in their own hubris.

  • Dual fake sim

  • LOL that's a pretty unsafe bet since all previous iPhones have been one of the worst performers among flagships. You can't defy the laws of physics. You can "optimize" all you want, but in the end a small battery will never be enough. It can only be good in standby, as mentioned.

  • junk from that company?

  • i want one

  • wkwkwkwk dual sim card.......

  • I'm asking you bro.. What's the function of always on display? It have fast charge feature, and quick charge just synonyms at android world.. IPhone have great management for battery hours with a little battery capacity, but it place for the number one best, the second is Sony Xperia XZ2 (because LCD not battery saving than OLED/AMOLED, but they did best management) About pricey, I think apple just want the customer pay for their software, because iOS is not free OS like Android..

  • each year, i always hear from tim cook said, "this is the best iphone we ever make!" what a joke!

  • Probably not, though in standby, I'd have to agree with you. Under use is a whole different battle.

  • Wrong Android phone

  • We shall see

  • Benchmarks aren't everything and the Kirin 980 actually is built on the same process. While it may not blitz it in benchmarks, it will get close and have better upgrades for a lower price. If you think this phone is the best, that's fine.Just putting my 2 cents out there

  • First is the price geeting more crazy n second no necessary upgrade only bigger size.i was expecting they will upgrade the camera or more new features.&#128078;&#127995;

  • They’re making there own display microled Samsung and LG already knows about that. Apple designed there staff before manufacturing.

  • Who will buy it? People who doesn't cry like a baby like you. Get a life.

  • iPhone X leaked notch before esstinal phones yeah other staff copied from Samsung not from other Android OEM’s.

  • And android same staff every 6 month and still no update in time lol.

  • hiiiiiiiii , well it looks interesing cause is gold, but apple can i ask you a question?? reeeeally ??? are you kidding me??? its looks like iphone 6s jus with two lents and other desing, yeah its looks beautuful but no we want more

  • All features you mention is useless and battrey life bet that it’s going to be batter than any android phones around.

  • Hahah keep dreaming.

  • Man this phone is wide

  • That price is too high

  • In the benchmarks? No chance in hell. Clearly you haven't been paying attention.

  • Nah, the Mate 20 Pro will blitz this

  • I can only see that you didnt use ios did you

  • lmaoo!!

  • No Always On Display No Quick Charge No Micro SD card slot No Dual SIM (Only China) Poor Battery Too Expensive Come on Apple.....wake up Year is 2018

  • As usual it's academy of form over function. The hardware is very good but the software is the great let down! More so now that they want Togo to subscription base? Why??????

  • Being with a flagship windows phone for a long time, which managed to get me perfectly fine with calls, messages, emails, office work and occasional photo here and there ... why would I even consider buying a cellphone with price tag like that? Aside iOS and Android as systems that be nowdays, comparing XS to Note 9 as best of both worlds, I can't seem to get the feeling that with so much less features that XS has comparing to N9, Apple is trying to sell brand for much more than it used to earlier.

  • Same Staff every year Apple Is Boring

  • Battery will be sold separately.

  • iphone xs max has 3200mah li jon . checked

  • King of dream

  • It is not a major upgrade but it will be king of all smartphone.

  • Icrap......nothing new...Who will buy a phone that should usually cost 300-400 Euros and will cost 1000 Euros only because it is Apple branded?

  • Its samsung fault, not google fault

  • 2018 and people still get fooled by "design"

  • Apple copied notch, wireless charger, dual camera, and full display from android. While android copied no headphone jack from iphone. LOL

  • Androids dont need many updates due to them being the best phone they can possibly be already. Apple are nowhere near the level of Samsung and some other phones on the market but people are like sheep. Keep buying an iphone like the rest.

  • wth.. that price for a phone? MacBooks are cheaper and have more functionality, yet this comes with slimmer bezels and costs 1200+... really? so the next Samsung and other devices will also charge the same price and next year we will get phones at around 1500+ and so on... WHY? what tech inside that phone justifies that price. i understand a luxury phone made out of sapphire screen and gold or other stuff costing somewhere around this and much more... but "Front/back glass, stainless steel frame" for a phone with almost every other phone's specs except the "120 Hz touch-sensing", which the Razer phone has costing 1200+ just wow...

  • How can they come up with the length of the music play time when they haven't announced the battery capacity?

  • Time will reveal everything. For some reason I have high hope for that Nokia phone, but this one has a great camera too.

  • Apple Inc. is designing and producing its own device displays for the first time, using a secret manufacturing facility near its California headquarters to make small numbers of the screens for testing purposes, according to people familiar with the situation. The technology giant is making a significant investment in the development of next-generation MicroLED screens, say the people, who requested anonymity to discuss internal planning. MicroLED screens use different light-emitting compounds than the current OLED displays and promise to make future gadgets slimmer, brighter and less power-hungry.

  • And yet still crappy Android OEM’s copied Lol.

  • You mean android that loosing there way and there market day by day and make knock off iPhone wanna be.

  • Apple SE design with 6.3 inch display, teardrop notch, no bottom bezel , A12 bionic chipset , fast finger print unlock, its usual XS CAMERA ...that is what is needed. Apple seems to have lost its way after Apple SE.

  • Please it does not have fast charging, especially with that 5W charger.

  • Apple for millionaires when they are going to start making phones for ordinary people greedy b******

  • Im talking about my experience with ipad air It runs smoothly and works better with every update Also i have galaxy s3 which was release 1 year earlier and guess what I cant even install ms word because it require lolipop android 5 That is a joke If you buy iphone 6s today then it will be out of date the same time as note 9 That is why ios is better choice Google must extend their updates timeline to at least 4 years Because android is a better choice when we talk about free source os

  • Apple lost its way after steve jobs dead

  • Yes they do not arguing that but the bigger the screen the more you wiuld notice a lower ppi. 6.1 & 326ppi is just too low

  • They've either discontinued the X to push customers into buying the XS or it's become of supply chain issues with the OLED panels, which are prioritised for XS & XSM.

  • Iphone xs max and no battery size in the specs updated version of the 8 plus why aren't the 3 new phones fully waterproof why have they discontinued the iphone x dosent make sense the amount of money it cost its ridiculous.

  • What about battery size/Mah ???when you can update the exact specification ?

  • I think anonimus that this resolution is enough for 23inch monitor and too much for anything under 7 inches :P I have galaxy s8 and I have lover resolution to lowest and then to highest with no visual difference :P Also this screen is super high tech, And i can say that im finally jealous of iphone :P But meybe you have eagle eyes and you can spot what no one else can :)

  • how can u compare an iphone and xiomi phone

  • Whats about battery size????

  • what is apple xs max battery capacity

  • I have been using apple products for years now but all I get is disappointment. There really no innovation in devices since the model 6s plus, after that, they are playing with specs only Like increase screen size , put ram , camera little tweak etc and voila squeeze money of people willing to show off I am using mac book pro, Apple TV, iPhone 8 Plus, iMac pro and from these I can tell apple innovation died with steve jobs !!! I miss that man of innovation By seeing the phones on this event, I’m gonna stick with my old apple products as the new ones are not worth of money I hope apple don roll out update to kill or make the old devices work slow APPLE WE NEED INNOVATIONS NOT TWEAKS PLZZZZS !!!!

  • It's because pakistan's currency is going down day by day and also your Prime Minister has increased the prices of almost 1500 goods and I believe iPhone X might be one of them.. :)

  • This camera placement and "stick out" is hilarious. Ugly and for picture framing is nightmare. There's no pro camera on the market that do not have lens on the center of device. Sorry for english.

  • Ugliest phone ever with the ugliest pricetag.

  • Even ios 11 ruined already iphone 6 do don’t think ios updates make your device runing better. New ios on old devices is just a skin updated nothing new 0 feature added and make them lag. Iphone 6 plus is inusable now

  • AMOLED does not need more pixels. AMOLED is actually doing fine nowadays.

  • If you want a headphone jack, buy an iPhone that has one. If you want a fast charger, buy one ffs I charge my phone at night and most people do too in which case a fast charger would just make your phone overheat and decrease battery capacity

  • Everyone is talking about how this phone is expensive If you dont know this phone will stilll be up to date with updates until 2024 because every ios phone gets updated 5 time not 2 times like stupid android That means more features and optimizations

  • after copying the back design of iPhone by Xiaomi and put it almost in every device, Now it's looking like another Xiaomi device is coming up.

  • Apple are charging $1,099 for 64gb storage, and it doesn't even come boxed with a fast charger or a 3.5mm/lightning adapter!!

  • if money is not a big deal for you, just buy the latest and the biggest storage capacity...

  • What i m saying is amoled needs more ppi. Just place 400ppi lcd iPhone and 400ppi amoled phone side by side n you'll see the matter. Lcd will look sharper even if ppi is same

  • I noticed something amazing (Pakistan's Market) price of Iphone X increased by 19000 . i dont know why ? specially when a new model is on the the way. I dont know about which country you are from. my recommendations are dont go for X, got XS or Max

  • 1080p plus models have lcd. Size doesn't matter in ppi. 326ppi on 4' or 326ppi on 6.1 all same

  • I was planning to get X (due to price drop after this event).... but i am concerned why they discounted iPhone X...and in case i am upgrading in a year or two i wont get a good amount... anyone please guide.. shall i still go for X&#65279;

  • It won’t look sharp. iPhone 4 (from 2010) had 326ppi screen and it was 3.5”. Same for iPhone 6/7/8 they have 326ppi and on 4.7” it doesn’t look nearly as good as 1080p Plus models. On 6.1” it will look terrible!

  • its looks iphone xs plus so unprofessional , if some one playing games its ok , but its looks bit ugly.

  • N9 ofc

  • want to be fancy then iPhone want to do more thing then Note I'm using an iPhone 8, and 1s faster of loading time won't make up the fact that I have lost 2 dongle

  • Will iPhone xs max dual sim Chinese variant work in india ??? I am from india and want dual sim variant.

  • powerful but overprice as always buy if you have tons of money and don't know anything about phone or technology

  • Note 9 has come down at 900$ mark in some resellers....it will go down more may be like 850$ within a month...now you decide which one you will buy...

  • This or Samsung Note 9?

  • Because lcd uses RGB matrix 326 ppi is enough to look sharp n crisp. Amoled uses petile matrix n it needs twice more pixels to look sharp enough. These companies will never tell u this. They'll show that they're giving sharper bt its just on paper, not in real.

  • Ok..first of all let's accept a fact that whatever is the price or features..this iPhone will be sold in millions..however smartphone market has grown in many ways to offer very good handsets in an affordable price. Thats why a sensible person now will think twice before investing such a huge amount of money to the new iPhones. Now the offering from Xiaomi, Huawei, Oneplus are so much that majority of people will shift to these brands. Yes, someone will say these are cheap Chinese craps..but for a smartphone need people will less likely to spend that amount of money in future. The market is changing now. A 1000$ phone is not easy to sell unless its a good carrier contract. Each year apple will bring out new iPhones and launch prices are less likely to go below 1000$.

  • Why hide the battery size information +1

  • tbh kinda disappointed in the new iphones. My first iphone was the 3g and i loved it then 4 then 5 then 6 plus then 7 plus and now i feel like i might give the note 9 a chance

  • i think,apple has gone mad...... the price is too much high yes,bionic chipset is very powerful,bt according to price,it's a joke........ note9 is much better than iphone X and expect,note X or s10 will blow away this junks......... if this bloody joke continues from apple,huawei will take apple's place soon

  • I do wish Apples iPhones supported SD cards, as when additional storage is needed it’s just so much easier and cheaper to get an SD Card for more storage rather than having to buy a new phone just to get additional storage.

  • Well said. These are anti-phones. They scream (Apple and their phones) "You are stupid" at you. If they paid me the amount they cost i'd still refuse to use them.

  • The iPhone Is is way over priced &#10071;for the specs .

  • May you please say the mAH battery size of the battery , thanks

  • Why hide the battery size information

  • Just go the iPhone X’s max 64 gb, it’s still expensive but a bit better!
