Overview

Description

An all-screen design gives you a large, beautiful canvas for everything you love to do. The custom-built OLED panels in iPhone XS allow for an HDR display with the industry's best color accuracy, true blacks, and remarkable brightness and contrast. They're the sharpest displays, with the highest pixel density, on any Apple device. The A12 Bionic, with our next-generation Neural Engine, delivers incredible performance. It uses real-time machine learning to transform the way you experience photos, gaming, augmented reality, and more. An innovative dual-camera system integrates the ISP, the Neural Engine, and advanced algorithms to unlock new creative possibilities and help you capture incredible photos. The iPhone XS dual-camera system harnesses the unprecedented power of the Neural Engine and its ability to perform five trillion operations per second. Together with the Apple-designed ISP, it works like the world's fastest photographer's assistant to help turn your pictures into showstoppers.

Smaller than I thought, and I miss having a home button, But it performs very well, and has excellent battery life. All in all a good little phone. This was a better deal than the unlocked Iphone 6s I got from Best Buy ages ago, which suffered from volume problems.

not happy at all with the camera of this phone. The problem began around December 16, 2021 when I sent a picture to a friend of mine. The lower part of the picture is blurry per the attached sample. Also, when doing a video, there is a constant blinking.

Had to purchase this to replace my XS Max, which was in excellent working condition, as I take good care of when you're purchasing your phones out right. Ordered this XS by mistake, as I wanted the XS Max. In reading the reviews I was prepared for less than battery life and poor audio, but was pleasantly surprised that there was no issues with maintaining good battery. However, the audio issue does present a problem at times, not always but sometimes. It sounds like the speaker is busted and makes holding a conversation difficult at times. Over all it a descent phone, but usually upgrade every 5 years, or the 5th model from my current. If I had to buy again, wouldn't hesitate to do so.

Our recent IPhone purchase exceeded our expectations. It’s an excellent product and my daughter is delighted with the speed, camera and memory. We honestly couldn’t even tell it was used.

Apple iPhone XS and XS Max review: Pricey but future-proofFor better or worse, the iPhone XS Max is just a massive iPhone XS. That's great in some ways: its 6.5-inch display is fantastic for watching videos and lining up photos, and there's a much better battery here, too. That said, only a few app and

iPhone XS or iPhone XR? Here's Your Cheat SheetThe iPhone XR is a great value. For a more affordable $750, you get the same key features as Apple's super-premium flagships — camera, processor, Face ID — for less dough. And you get more colors to choose from.
