iPhone XS and iPhone XS Max review

2018-09-18
last year the iPhone 10 changed a lot of the design of the iPhone this year things are pretty much all iPhone tens and that's a thing Apple has blown up the entire line to become iPhone tens and though there's an iPhone 10 explosion that's happened between the iPhone 10s the iPhone 10s Max and the upcoming iPhone 10 are so what do you do how do you make a decision here well Eklund 10r doesn't come out until late October but I've been using the iPhone 10s and the 10s Macs and I can at least tell you how those work now one of the biggest features in the 10s and the 10s max is the camera in fact we shot this intro on it so what's changed in cameras this year well for portraits front and rear Apple has a way to finally adjust portrait effects or bokeh inside both modes so it's supposed to not just create better looking portraits but also you can adjust them it looks good I still think there are some things that look a little bit fuzzy about it there's also added Smart HD arm what that is is basically a way that HDR photos can have a greater range and still look crisp and I found that a lot of my photos when taking your really bright light versus the iPhone 10 have a lot more detail in those bright light areas without looking as blown out and it also helps at the the speed is better in the image single-processor so that the photos do end up looking sharper with a little less blur Apple is also claiming lower light photography with higher quality and so far that's held up the competition is really fierce when it comes to phones so stay tuned for a really deep comparison to find out which one is now the best yes Apple put new processors on these phones the a12 Bionic which sounds dramatic and is supposed to offer advances especially in machine learning and AI and augmented reality these are future technologies built for the stuff to come but you may not necessarily need all that stuff right now and phones are already really fast in fact last year's iPhone 10 and the iPhone 8 had a really nice jump in speed so far the a12 is not that dramatic a speed leap in everyday uses but it's still a little early to tell so stay tuned the biggest leaps could come in those future technologies that could play out in apps down the road these phones also have a few more features that could be of interest and come into play for you one is that these phones support dual sim in addition to gigabit LTE now dual SIM card support won't come to later this year you're one of them will be an e sim and one of them will be a physical sim but that could matter if you're traveling also these phones are supposed to charge faster using wireless qi chargers now stay tuned for more testing on that these phones also have better speakers so I noticed that when you're playing music on them or movies it definitely sounds crisper stereo sound sounds a little bit better these phones also have added water resistance and dust resistance ip68 now the real difference there is two meters for 30 minutes versus last year's one meter which really only comes into play if you've dropped your phones into a really deep pool in case you've never used an iPhone 10 before all of these iPhone 10s models and the 10 are a face ID the face ID is the best facial recognition system for unlocking and security that's out there on smartphones but still it replaces the home button and when I used it last year there were a lot of times that I felt it was too slow or just sometimes didn't work and this year face ID is faster on all the models which is nice and so far using it logging in feels a lot quicker it's basically unlocked and ready by the time I lift the phone I'd still say that there are times that the face ID doesn't exactly recognize me by design because maybe I'm too close or maybe I've got my head on my pillow or my hand to my face now the fact that the iPhone 10 has been improved with two new models in less than a year since the debut to November is great and these are a little faster and they're also got better cameras and they feel good and face ideas faster but they're not the only game in town the iPhone 10 R is coming in October and that cost less has a screen that falls in between the size of these two although it's lower resolution and has a lot of the same camera features not dual camera but maybe a lot of what makes these photos look so good maybe even better battery life now that one we haven't reviewed yet and it's impossible to really tell how good it is but is it worth waiting absolutely especially when these phones are so expensive and that's the thing wait for the other shoe to drop because right now the iPhone has three models and your best bet might be the one that I don't have
