![]() To gauge your future memory needs, first check what percentage of your current iPhone's memory you've already filled: Settings > General > iPhone Storage. Most of you won't think you need this massive amount of memory those who do are those (like me) who store their music on their phone rather than stream (too much time spend underground in the subway). The iPhone X (right) was released in just gray and silver, while the new iPhone XS Max now includes a gold color GearBrainĪll three new iPhone XS/XR models are available with an option for 512GB of storage, twice as much space as offered on previous iPhones. For those with eyesight issues, you can increase the size of text – either Settings > Display & Brightness > Display Zoom (scroll down) or Settings > Display & Brightness > Text Size – but still leave enough text on screen to be useful. Practically, you'll see more of web pages on the Max, you'll turn pages on e-books less frequently, and both movies and video games will fill your field of vision more satisfactorily, more effectively enveloping you in the viewing and playing experiences. Max's OLED screen also withstands bleaching out by sunlight than the LCD screens on pre-X iPhones. And, the annoyance of that damned X-series notch (which contains the phone's Face ID sensors) is lessened compared to the original X, XS and XR since it's smaller relative to the Max's larger screen.Įven more important is Max's dramatic increase in resolution, from the Retina 1080 x 1920-pixel, 401 dots per inch resolution on the 7 Plus/8 Plus to Max's Super Retina 1242 x 2688-pixel, 458 dpi display. While the size of the Max may be considered a wash compared to the iPhone 7 Plus/8 Plus, there's a huge jump in the viewing real estate between the 5.5-inch LCD display of the iPhone 7 Plus/8 Plus compared to the Max's copious 6.5-inch screen. The iPhone XS Max (top) is slightly bigger than the iPhone X (bottom) GearBrain Clutch owners, however, may be challenged. Max will also easily slip into most outside purse pockets or pocketbook compartments. Max peaks up over the top like a decorative pocket hankie by about an inch in a man's front shirt or a half inch over the top of a sports coat front pocket, and is too tall to tip over sideways in an inside pocket, and won't bulge or slide around the front pocket of a pair of khakis unless you add a thick case. More importantly for potential 7 Plus/8 Plus upgraders, the Max is actually a smidge smaller (albeit a smidge heavier, 2 grams more than the 8 Plus, 20 grams more than the 7 Plus) than these older larger iPhones. And you'll hardly notice the 15 percent weight increase, from the X/XS' 6.24 ounces (177 grams) to 7.34 ounces (208 grams) for the Max. 3 inches (143.6 x 70.9 x 7.7 mm) for the XS/X – roughly 10 percent larger, and the same width. Physically, Max isn't much bigger than its smaller X or XS siblings (which are all the same dimensions) or the slightly larger pending XR: 6.2 x 3.05 x. The iPhone XS Max still has the same notch as the iPhone X GearBrain What makes the Max possibly the last iPhone you'll need to buy for a long while? Yes, as usual, it's incrementally faster and more powerful than previous iPhones thanks to Apple's new A12 Bionic processor, it's sturdier thanks to its stainless steel enclosure instead of aluminum and more durable glass than in past models, its camera captures slightly brighter images in low light, it's available in a luxurious gold finish, and adds support for next-gen augmented reality shopping and gaming, along with other advanced under-the-hood functions.īut we've identified seven practical considerations – along with three potential drawbacks – that, combined, should help you decide if the iPhone XS Max is worth its hefty price tag and an upgrade from a non-X iPhone. Even I, a serial annual iPhone updater, am seriously considering the XS Max the last iPhone I'll buy, at least until a model powered by next-generation long-distance wireless "air" power appears. But anyone who owns a suddenly old-fashioned LCD screen- and fingerprint Home button-equipped Arabic-numbered Plus iPhone edition may want to consider an XS Max upgrade. Maybe not even owners of an iPhone 8 or 8 Plus. If you own a current iPhone X, probably not. But that price! Costing between $1,099 and $1,449 for 512GB capacity, you're asking yourself what you'd really gain to justify spending that steeply. ![]() The fact you are reading this review reveals you are intrigued, if not outright tempted, by Apple's new extra-large cellular objet de désir. This assertion, by extension, arguably makes the Apple's new iPhone XS Max the best smartphone ever made.Īdmit it. Apple's new iPhone XS Max is the best smartphone the company that invented the modern smartphone has ever made.
