The iPhone XS is the logical successor to last year's iPhone X. The X ushered in the new era that the iPhones embarked on. It was all about building on the blend of some tried and tested blueprint, some modern touches and a whole lot of personality.

Apple iPhone XS goes on sale in India today, but it sports a premium price tag of Rs 99,900 in the market. Is it worth the hype Here's our review of the iPhone XS

I'm sick of buying iPhones . For the past decade, I've been buying them and loving them and breaking them and losing them and replacing them and, when September comes along, upgrading them.

More expensive than ever

Apple's new iPhone XS is a modest step up from last year's iPhone X, but remains a major technological leap forward for anyone who hasn't yet made the jump to the edge-to-edge design with Face ID.

Apple's latest iPhones are now available . Or, at least two of them are. The iPhone XS and iPhone XS Max are here, but we're still waiting on the iPhone XR , a lower-priced version coming later in October. That's right: Apple's split the iPhone X lineup this year into three offerings .

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, key extras such as increased storage, USB-C fast chargers and headphone dongles will have you spending even more

Apple has stuck with its "S" nomenclature even after its anniversary iPhone and has consequently followed the iPhone X with the iPhone XS. As with previous "S" models, the iPhone XS is more a technical refinement of its predecessor than a fundamental departure.

bright and color-true OLED display; broad mobile network frequency coverage; impressive main camera; excellent craftsmanship; eSIM support (per update; dust and liquid-resistant

non-expandable memory; no headphone jack; restricted NFC; only 12 months warranty; mediocre telephoto lens

The iPhone XS is a good phone, but I'm not awarding it our Editors' Choice. As I said at the beginning of this review, I think that with the 8, the XR, and the XS Max in Apple's lineup, the XS is in a less appealing place than some of the others.

Excellent camera; Powerful processor; Fast networking; First mainstream dual-SIM phone in the US

Expensive for the size and feature set

This is the iPhone XS – pronounced ‘10-S', not ‘excess' as you might think. It looks identical to last year's iPhone X , and you might think that not a lot has changed – but it's inside where the differences lie.

Smart HDR helps the camera; More powerful again; Fast operation in the hand

Battery life not world-beating; Design not altered in a year; Still very expensive
