![]() The other immediate impact of the larger XS Max screen is the software keyboard. Again, this seems like an area where nobody was complaining, yet is a welcome improvement, especially in the larger XS Max. ![]() As noted by Shawn Blanc - and a few others - you’ll notice a grippier naked iPhone XS body right out-of-the-box. There does seem to be some added grippiness in the XS and XS Max generation, though. If you liked the iPhone 8 Plus’ size - or the iPhone 7 Plus or 6 Plus - you’ll like the size of the iPhone XS Max. I’m assuming the negligibly smaller body is thanks to OLED’s ability to shrink bezels around the display, but I have no confirmation of that. The Max is 0.9mm shorter, 0.7mm narrower, 0.2mm thicker, and 6 grams heavier than the previous generation iPhone 8 Plus. There’s effectively no difference between Plus-sized and Max-sized iPhones when it comes to body size. As the iPhone XS and XS Max have effectively identical specifications - notwithstanding a slightly longer battery life and a larger 6.5-inch display in the iPhone XS Max - this review should be applicable to both the iPhone XS and XS Max. In a nut, that’s the iPhone XS and XS Max.Įditor’s Note: This review will highlight the iPhone XS Max specifically, as the author opted for the larger iPhone XS variant. And you double down on the notch and the price. No, you improve the most popular camera in the world and you lay the groundwork for the future. ![]() If Apple’s September keynote is any indication, you don’t do it by improving - or fixing, in more clear terms - anyone’s complaints. So how do you make the iPhone better while checking off to-dos on the very short complaint list? How do you take what the iPhone X taught you and ensure you learn from your past compromises? The market’s appetite for Face ID, the front camera notch, and the all-screen design were likely next on the school list. For one, Apple surely gained insight into the iPhone’s price elasticity (how much demand changed given the increase in price). I bet Apple learned more from the iPhone X than they had in many previous iPhone generations. (They skipped the iPhone 9 just to show off the tech, after all.) Judging from this year’s iPhone lineup, it’s logical to think it was a successful experiment. The price puts the phone in a new price territory.įor all intents and purposes, the iPhone X was an Apple experiment.The notch looks unsightly, despite being replicated by competitors.Off the top of my head, I can barely rattle off three issues with the iPhone X: The A11 Bionic chip never held anyone back. Its OLED display showed near perfect color, while its cameras were able to shoot photos that took advantage of that perfect color. The X was easy to use one-handed, yet had the biggest screen ever shipped in an iPhone. There’s very little to change in last year’s iPhone X.
