A wonderful smartphone, but the launch price should rule out a day-one purchase
Simply put, the XS is the most advanced Apple iPhone ever made!
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.
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.
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.
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.

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.
Faster than the iPhone X; Great camera and superb video recording; New gold colour looks fantastic
Pricey for a 5.8in smartphone
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.
