Simply put, the XS is the most advanced Apple iPhone ever made!


The Bionic Phone

Apple calls the A12 Bionic, the chip used in the XS, "the most powerful chip in a smartphone". Meanwhile, the Neural Engine uses real-time machine learning to transform the way you experience photos, gaming, augmented reality and more. The two performance cores operate up to 15% faster while the four efficiency ones use up to 50% less power. As for graphics performance: it's up to 50% faster. What does all this tell you? That the XS operates at a far higher level than we've ever seen.


Seeing is disbelieving

The custom-engineered Super Retina OLED display is unbelievably stunning. OLED panels deliver the industry’s best colour accuracy, alongside true blacks and brightness and contrast that reaches new heights. Expect the sharpest displays with the highest pixel density on any Apple device.


A camera breakthrough

Apple is excited about Smart HDR which merges different technologies including faster sensors, an enhanced ISP and advanced algorithms, and the power of A12 Bionic and the Neural Engine. This means vastly superior shots in all settings and for all requirements: selfies, portraits, action shots, landscapes and more are captured in spectacular ways. Smart HDR shoots a 4-frame buffer in between each image, and also captures secondary images at different exposures. All these are combined to create the perfect image.


Brilliantly simple

Great phones should be easy to use and the XS fits the bill. The glass back allows for wireless and fast charging, while Face ID not only offers quick access to whatever you need but also uses advanced machine learning to recognise changes in your appearance.

A newer model iPhone 11 Pro 64GB was released in September 2019.

Don't be fooled: iPhone XS is not a boring ‘S' upgrade [Review]

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.

Apple iPhone XS (64GB, Silver) - Excellent review

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.

Apple iPhone XS

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.
Pros:
  • Excellent camera
  • Powerful processor
  • Fast networking
  • First mainstream dual-SIM phone in the US
Cons:
  • Expensive for the size and feature set

Apple iPhone XS Review

The Apple iPhone XS is a significant step forward for iPhones, but most iPhone buyers will probably prefer the XR or the XS Max. Glowing and glamorous, the Apple iPhone XS ($999) aims to be the sweet spot for iPhones this year. But while it's certainly an excellent phone, I find it to be the least distinguished of Apple's 2018 lineup. If the XS stood alone, I'd be judging it more highly. But it doesn't. I see where it fits in: The XS has a 2X zoom camera and an OLED screen, and it's not quite as big as the XS Max. But the Max is a bigger leap forward from previous iPhones in the Plus family, and a more striking device all around. Ultimately, I feel most people will want to pay an extra $100 for the iPhone XS Max, or save $250 on the iPhone XR. There's No Small iPhone Anymore At 5.65 by 2.79 by 0.30 inches (HWD), the iPhone XS is almost the exact same size as the iPhone X. Like the X, the design is basically a glass sandwich around metal. It has an edge-to-edge 5.8-inch, 19.5:9 OLED screen with the infamous notch at the top. I'm happy to see Apple finally getting rid of its gigantic bezels, but at 2.79 inch...
Pros:
  • Excellent camera
  • Powerful processor
  • Fast networking
  • First mainstream dual-SIM phone in the US
Cons:
  • Expensive for the size and feature set

The Apple iPhone Xs, just like the Xs Max, is a fabulous smartphone. If you're firmly an iPhone fan but prefer a smaller screen, then you won't be disappointed. It has much better battery life than the iPhone X, a better camera with better portrait photos, HDR capabilities and video, and it's a...
