Apple New iPhone XS and XS Max 2018 Price, Specification And Reviews

The introduction of the iPhone X approximately one year ago brought on a wave of excitement and an almost pathetic dismissal of the other iPhone brands. This, however, is commonplace for the Apple company. Releasing new products that beat off the others and sweep them under the rug. The iPhone X was fresh, edgy and had a very nice ring to it. This year, Apple decided to surprise the entire phone industry by bringing back the iPhone X, fixed and buffed out, in a two of a kind package: The iPhone Xs and the iPhone Xs Max. These gadgets are revamped versions of the X device, boasting of impressive specification updates in their CPU, camera and other facets.

The much anticipated new iPhone release date comes on the 21st of September, 2018 with numerous pre-orders currently ongoing. All the iPhone Xs and iPhone Xs Max variations sold out within minutes on the Apple website, and the price of the phones start at between $999 to $1449. Really on the high side but this is much to be expected because these phones are simply the successors of past year’s iPhone X; with everything bigger and more advanced. Apple, as usual, is presenting bigger features with a bigger price tag. The company’s choice to build upon past products rather than updating the iPhone 8, makes the iPhone X, Xs and Xs Max look exactly the same at a first glance. But closer inspection will reveal that the latter gadgets simply have a lot more to offer.

iPhone XS and XS Max Features:

The iPhone Xs is all shades of sophistication and sleekness, with an 5.8 inches OLED screen. While the Xs Max features a huge 6.5 inches OLED display screen. Even though the IPhone Xs specifications are considered a direct upgrade from the IPhone X, the Xs Max seems to outshine it by having the biggest screen yet seen on an IPhone. Both models come with Super Retina resolution screens that offer HDR, Dolby Vision and a competent facial recognition system.

Another favourite of the Apple family is the just recently released Apple Watch Series 4. The Apple Watch digital trend has consistently dominated the playing field of tech watches year after year.

Personal Review :  iPhone Xs and iPhone Xs Max 

Is the IPhone Xs worth it?

A frequent question asked by observers is whether the new IPhones are good enough to justify their crazily high prices. Well, considering the elegant designs, specs and the build quality, we would say they are. Others believe that owners of Apple phones from the IPhone 8 and below, have a lot more to gain. This year’s model would be a huge upgrade and worth the price for these individuals. However, IPhone X owners might not appreciate the novel handsets because it seems like, unless you need a bigger screen, there isn’t enough improvement to warrant an upgrade.

On the other hand, some persons would rather much wait for the IPhone XR, a cheaper alternative at $749. This shares all features with the Xs, except it has a lower quality screen and lower grade features to even out the cost. But the XR does come with more colour options.

Normally, bigger IPhones come with better camera functions. With the release of this year, the opposite is the case. The IPhone Xs Max and the smaller Xs have the exact same camera quality. That being said, selecting which phone to purchase will be exclusively based on the size that suits you best. This is an added advantage. This simply means that most everything mentioned in this article applies to both phones, except the size factor.

As for the Apple Watch Series 4, many people claim it was the most impressive thing announced by Apple – more impressive than the IPhones. Of course the initial models didn’t necessarily stand out. They were just basic smartphone watches that did the same, if not lesser things that smartwatches from other brands did. This new version deserves all the hype because it is a total upgrade from what Apple presented to us before. The gadget blesses us with a reasonable battery life, a huge, elegant screen, efficient fitness and health-tracking features. Although it is not especially cheap, the watch will continue to steal the show for now.

Any cons?

One major, and probably the only con of the new IPhones is that there is no adapter. These things were very convenient as they could be utilized with your existing headphones. It is obviously a ploy by Apple for users to get custom Airpods, wireless Bluetooth headphones and Beats products. A tad ungenerous, but we guess the awesomeness of the devices make up for it. The Apple Watch Series 4 is also not without a few faults. The Siri function is still unreliable and there isn’t an ‘always-on’ screen option.

Nevertheless, the benchmarks of the IPhones Xs and Xs Max are so impressive that they can be favourably compared to fast laptops. The models easily exceed the performance of IPhone X. The Series 4 is also an extraordinary device and Apple would have to pull their weight to top this standard they have set.

We hope this article has brought you up to speed with all the unique features and specs of IPhone Xs, IPhone Xs Max and the Apple Watch Series 4.
