Apple announced a collection of new iphones at the beginning of SEPTEMBER, with two new models that advance the iphone X launched in 2017. They are the iphone XS and the iphone XS max.

When taking the wraps off the latest iphones at APPLE’S launch event earlier this month, apple executive PHIL SCHILLER said the company’s goal with the iphone XS was to “take the iphone X to the next level.”

Now that we’ve had a chance to review both the iphone XS and the larger iphone XS max, it’s clear apple’s latest phones do more than just add some extra letters to the iphone X’S name

How do the iphone XS and the XS max compare to last year’s iphone X though? We have put the specifications of the 2018 models up against 2017’s iphone x to see exactly what the differences are?

While the XS maintains the look of the original iphone X, plenty of other features have undergone a noticeable change. From the display to the processor to the cameras, apple has made adjustments big and small so that its latest iphone X models stand out from the version that came before.

Here’s a closer look at what’s new with the iphone XS, along with a few things that haven’t changed from last year’s iphone X.

APPLE IPHONE XS V/S XS MAX V/S IPHONE X DESIGN

  • Similar design across all three models
  • Ip68 protection on XS models
  • XS MAX is largest
  • XS AND XS MAX come in gold

The apple iphone X features a stainless steel core with a glass front and back, allowing for wireless charging. There is a vertically aligned dual camera on the rear and a notch at the top of the display on the front.

The x comes in space grey and silver colour options, measures 143.6 x 70.9 x 7.7mm and weighs 174g. It is ip67 water and dust resistant.

The iphone XS AND XS MAX successors continue to offer a stainless steel core with a glass rear and front, a notched display and a vertically aligned dual camera on the back. The XS MAX is larger than both the iphone XS AND X, but the design remains the same across the three devices. Improvements have been made for wi-fi and cellular transmissions in the XS and XS max however.

The iphone XS measures 143.6 x 70.9 x 7.7mm and weighs 177g, making it almost identical to the iphone X, so it’s very much a replacement for that phone. The XS MAX meanwhile, measures 157.5 x 77.4 x 7.7mm and weighs 208g, so it’s more tailored towards the plus user.

Both are ip68 protected, and they come in space grey and silver colour options, as well as a new gold colour which is lovely.

APPLE IPHONE XS VS XS MAX VS IPHONE X DISPLAY

  • X: 5.8-inch, 458ppi
  • Xs: 5.8-inch, 458ppi
  • Xs: 6.5-inch, 458ppi

The apple IPHONE X has a 5.8-inch super retina HD display, which translates to a resolution of 2436 x 1125 pixels and a pixel density of 458ppi.

It’s an OLED PANEL that has a 19.5:9 aspect ratio and it features true tone technology, meaning it adapts to its surroundings, as well as 3d touch, which provides various options and shortcuts based on the force with which you press. All the phones have this in common.

The IPHONE XS retains the 5.8-inch size, as well as OLED technology. The 2018 iphone XS has the same resolution as its predecessor for a pixel density of 458ppi.

The IPHONE XS MAX has larger 6.5-inch display, increasing the resolution to 2688 x 1242 pixels, but that means it’s the same pixel density at 458ppi. In theory, all these phones should show the same detail on the display.

What’s really new, however, is apple embracing this move to bigger displays – the XS max has a larger display than the old plus models (hence the max name), and it’s a fabulous display at that. The details are sharp, text is crisp and the whites and colours are well balanced, as they are on the iphone XS and X.

APPLE IPHONE XS V/S XS MAX V/S IPHONE X FEATURES’ COMPARISON

DISPLAY: screen size hasn’t changed from the 5.8 inches that the iphone X offered, and the resolution on the OLED panel is still 2436 x 1125. But apple insists you’ll see improved colour on the XS screen in the form of 60 percent greater dynamic range than the original iphone X.

You’re no longer limited to 5.8 inches if you want more screen real estate. In addition to the iphone XS, apple is also introducing the 6.5-inch iphone XS max, which in spite of its larger display isn’t all that much bigger than an iphone 8 plus.

FACE ID: 

Apple’s face-scanning feature returns in the iphone XS, which is good since there’s no fingerprint sensor to unlock your phone or verify mobile payments. But the neural engine on the a12, combined with improved algorithms, should make face id go faster on the new phones than it did on the original iphone X.

WATER-RESISTANCE:

The iphone X carried an IP67 dust- and water-resistance rating, meaning you could drop it in around 3 feet of water for 30 minutes without damaging your phone. The XS is a little bit more durable, with an ip68 rating. Now, the new model will survive a swim in around 6 feet of water, and apple also says it can withstand splashes all sorts of sticky stuff like soda and beer. Independent drop tests also suggest the new Iphones can survive the occasional drop (though you’ll still want to invest in a protective case).

BATTERY LIFE:

Apple is usually close-mouthed about the size of the battery inside its phones, and that tradition of “who’s asking?” continues with the iphone XS. Teardowns by IFIXIT suggest the iphone XS’S battery has a capacity of 2,659 MAH, which would be smaller than the 2,716 MAH batteries reportedly inside last year’s iphone X. The XS max has the biggest battery ever in an iphone; IFIXIT says that translates to a 3,179 MAH power pack.

APPLE IPHONE XS V/S XS MAX V/S IPHONE X HARDWARE

  • New a12 bionic chip in iphone XS and XS max
  • 512gb storage capacity for XS and XS max
  • Increase in battery life for XS and XS max

The apple iphone X comes with the A11 bionic chip with 64-bit architecture, a neural engine and an embedded m11 motion coprocessor. There are two storage options of 64GB and 256GB.

The iphone XS and XS max come with a new chip called the A12 BIONIC. This a step forward, moving to a 7nm architecture with a next-gen neural engine, making it one of the most advanced chips you’ll find in a phone right now, so they are more efficient and more powerful.

Storage options have also changed slightly compared to last year with 64GB, 256GB and 512GB variants available.

Battery life is said to deliver up to 21-hours talk time on the iphone X, but that’s boosted to 21 hours and 30 minutes on the iphone XS, or 25 hours on the iphone XS max. Both the XS and XS max last longer than the iphone X in our experience with them, though it is the XS max that really shines. All offer wireless and fast charging.

The iphone xs and XS max also offer dual sim, meaning you can have two numbers or networks on the same device. Everywhere, except china, will do this via ESIM, a technology already available on the IPAD and apple watch. The iphone X only supports single SIM.

APPLE IPHONE XS V/S XS MAX V/S IPHONE X CAMERA

  • Dual rear camera on all three
  • Iphone XS and XS max offer adjustable BOKEH
  • Iphone XS models offer smart HDR
  • Iphone XS and XS max offer stereo audio on video

 

CAMERA:

The new a12 processor also includes a new image signal processor (ISP), and that’s going to drive a lot of the photographic improvements with the new iphone. Like the iphone X before it, the XS has a 12-megapixel wide-angle lens and a 12-mp telephoto shooter, while the 7-mp true depth camera up front handles selfies.

  • However, the size of the sensor has gone from 1.2 to 1.4 microns on the iphone XS and XS max, and the pixels are deeper as well. The result is a 50 improvement in light gathering capability.
  • With smart HDR, your iphone can capture multiple exposures in a short time frame for a balanced shot. The iphone XS is able to capture more exposures in a shorter amount of time, reducing shutter lag to the point where you shouldn’t notice it.
  • Apple says the sensor on the main rear camera is larger, which should help the iphone xs grab more light even in darker settings. That’s a necessary improvement, as the iphone x wasn’t particularly adept at low-light photography when stacked up against other leading flagship phones. And we found the iphone XS compared much more favourably to phones like the pixel 2 XL when we tested those phones’ cameras.
  • Other camera improvements on the XS and XS max include the ability to adjust a portrait’s depth of field after you’ve taken the shot — a feature you’ll find on some android smart phones, though not on the original iphone X. Video capabilities are improved too, with the larger sensor helping capture sharp footage even in low light. The new phones also offer extended dynamic range in video modes up to 30 frames per second.

The apple iphone X comes with a vertically-aligned dual-rear camera. This is made up of two 12-megapixel sensors, one wide-angle with an aperture of f/1.8 and one telephoto with an aperture of f/2.4.

It offers a range of features including optical and digital zoom, dual optical image stabilisation and portrait mode, along with 4k video recording. The front camera is a true depth 7-megapixel sensor with an aperture of f/2.2 and features like animoji and portrait mode.

The iphone XS and XS max continue to offer a dual rear camera, with both offering the same composition as the iphone X – the megapixels and apertures remain the same, but apple has introduced the ability to change the BOKEH EFFECT (“the way the lens renders out-of-focus points of light”) on portrait mode photos after you take the shot. The feature won’t be coming to the iphone X.

The iphone XS and XS max also offer a smart HDR system, which the iphone X doesn’t have either. This betters the previous HDR system thanks to more power, meaning it can give you better HDR photos in any conditions. Overall, the iphone XS and XS max offer better camera performance than the already great iphone X, including improvements in low light.

The iphone xs and xs max also add stereo audio capture to video, along with wider dynamic range, so video looks and sounds better than the iphone X.

All these iphones have the same front camera and FACE ID.

APPLE IPHONE XS VS XS MAX VS IPHONE X SOFTWARE

  • Ios 12
  • Same software experience

The apple iphone X launched on IOS 11, but it has now been updated to IOS 12.

The iphone XS and XS max both arrive with IOS 12, with all the new features this software brings with it, including enhancements to photos, SIRI and ARKIT to name but a few. The software experience between the old x and the new XS is therefore the same, aside from a few extra features here and there like the depth control within the portrait mode pictures.

You can read all the details on the new iphone XS and XS max in our separate feature if you want to know more.

APPLE IPHONE XS VS XS MAX VS IPHONE X PRICE AND CONCLUSIONS

The apple iphone X started at £999 when it first launched in 2017. As the iphone XS is a replacement for this model, the iphone X will no longer be available from apple – but there could be stock at other retailers.

The apple iphone XS starts at £999 (as a direct replacement for X) and the XS max starts at £1099, naturally making it more expensive as the biggest phone.

OTHER FEATURES:

Wireless charging, introduced with last year’s iphone updates, remains a feature with the iphone XS. The new phone also retains 3d touch, after rumours suggested that feature was headed out the door. (You won’t find 3d touch on the new iphone XR, however, as apple is opting for something called “HAPTIC TOUCH” instead.)

Should you upgrade?

The better processing performance and improved cameras apple promises with the iphone XS might make owners of the original iphone X contemplate an upgrade. But the one thing that remained the same between the two phones — that $999 price tag — might be a big enough deterrent to make you hold onto last year’s model. Unless you’re part of an annual upgrade program, dropping $999 every year on a new phone isn’t financially advisable.

If you skipped last year’s iphone X launch and held onto an older iphone, it’s a different story. Enough has changed from last year’s model to make the iphone XS a more compelling upgrade option, thanks to improvements to the processor and camera.
