Which new iPhone is right for you?

TwitterFacebook

With three new iPhones launching this year, choosing the right one might be harder than ever.

The iPhone XS, XS Max, and XR may look similar at first glance, but when you dig deeper you’ll find that the subtle differences actually add up to distinct experiences from each one.

The first thing most people care about is size. How big is the screen, and will the phone fit in your pocket?

This year, you’ll find that the new iPhones are actually quite large, with the biggest being the iPhone XS Max. It’s the largest iPhone ever made, so if you’re the type of person that loves typing and scrolling on a gigantic screen — this is probably the one for you. Read more…

Apple’s gigantic iPhone XS Max has no right to feel this lightweight

TwitterFacebook

The iPhone XS Max is shocking in how ordinary it feels. Apple clearly got a little carried away with itself in naming its extra-large iPhone, possibly downing a few too many Red Bulls at the focus group meetings.

The XS Max, for all its screen inches (6.5, the largest iPhone by far) and extreme-lifestyle-inspired branding, feels like an iPhone. It’s impressively light; the iPhone has generally gotten heavier the past couple of years as Apple has labored to make it more durable, so this is a thankful change in the opposite direction.

Wielding the phone isn’t awkward — well, no more awkward than any other big-size phone — though pocketability is about on par with the iPhone Plus models.

Here’s how iPhone XS Max stacks up against the competition

TwitterFacebook

The iPhone XS Max is the biggest iPhone ever.

It has a 6.5-inch Super Retina OLED with a 2688 X 1242 resolution. Yes, that means it’s even bigger than the iPhone 8 Plus. It comes in a stunning new gold color, in addition to silver and space gray. Plus, it has the first 7-nanometer processor, the A12 Bionic chip inside.

The main camera is getting an upgrade with a 12-megapixel wide-angle and 12-megapixel telephoto on the back. 

The iPhone XS Max won’t come cheap, though. It starts at $1099 and will be available in 64 GB, 256 GB, and 512 GB.  Read more…

iPhone XS Max up close and hands-on

The most remarkable thing about the iPhone XS Max is that it doesn’t feel huge. It’s all relative, of course. And surely Apple’s old guard would have scoffed at the notion of a 6.5-inch display. But time marches on. Seasons change and so do minds. Temperatures increase, superhero movies pile up and screen sizes increase, […]

TwitterFacebook

The names for Apple’s upcoming iPhones — the unveiling is today, in case you forgot — have been floating on the internet as rumors for a while, but a new leak on Apple’s own website all but confirms them. 

The new iPhones will therefore be called the iPhone XS, the iPhone XS Max and the iPhone XR. 

The names, first unearthed by ATH, appear in Apple’s product sitemap file, now taken offline. 

The iPhone XS will likely be the smallest, 5.8-inch variant of the device, while the iPhone XS Max will be the largest, 6.5-inch version. The iPhone XR will probably be the 6.1-inch iPhone, which is rumored to look similar to the other two (display notch and all) but with an LCD screen (instead of OLED) and a lower price.  Read more…
