For me, the iPhone is the single most important device in my life. With its increased speed and smarts, the iPhone XS makes all the little everyday tasks that much faster and easier. I'm addicted to speed. And if Apple can make each year's new iPhones this much better, I'll be hooked for life.

So, should you get the Apple iPhone Xs That depends on your needs. If you are so hooked with Apple's ecosystem especially if you are seeking to upgrade your aging iPhone, than this is the one to get. If it is too pricey for you, maybe you could take a look at the Apple iPhone XR.

While we'd still recommend the iPhone XR first, the XS has some extras worth noting.

The iPhone XS has a markedly improved dual camera, delivering better photos than the iPhone X in both dark and high-contrast environments; It has a faster processor, faster face ID, adds dual-SIM support and it’s now available in gold and 512GB versions.

Its battery life is the shortest of the three new iPhones and only incrementally better than last year's; Despite its still-rich price tag, increased storage, USB-C fast chargers and headphone dongles will have you spending even more.

From a photo-quality perspective, the iPhone XS is an excellent daylight camera that captures great pictures when the lighting conditions are favorable. This is without a doubt thanks to Apple’s camera software engineers who have done an excellent camera tuning job.

To be clear, the iPhone XS is every bit as good as the iPhone XS Max, save for battery life. It delivers on Apple's (now yearly) promise of being the best iPhone ever.
