iPhone XS Max Design
Design-wise, it looks beautiful. I mean it better be looking good for the money you spend. The glass back plays with ambient light to shows a different shade. Apple guarantees that this phone the most durable glass ever on created on a smartphone. That should give you peace of mind, just in case you might drop it in the future. The phone also has dust and water resistance, to help the phone last longer. It can survive 2 meters of water for up to 30 minutes, pretty impressive.
The display sure feels much better than a smaller phone. Being able to watch videos at a larger resolution on your phone is great. Not just the bigger screen, image quality is top of the line. Brightness is high at 606 nits. Color is accurate and covering 123% sRGB color gamut, thanks to OLED display.
iPhone XS Max is huge. It’s the larger version of regular smartphones. More screen real estate even with the same bezels and home button design. It might be a problem if you want to carry it around in your hand or putting it into your pocket. Not only it’s large, but it’s also significantly heavier than most phones. You’d need to use two hands to use this phone comfortably.
iPhone XS Max Performance
Performance is top-notch. A12 Bionic processor is the first 7nm chip in a phone. Apple claims that the chip will perform 15% faster and the GPU is up to 50% faster. A really impressive number. In Geekbench 4 iPhone XS Max scores 11.515, that’s the highest score for a phone. Real-world tasks such as editing, it takes iPhone XS Max a mere 39 seconds to transcode a 2 minutes 4K clip to 1080p.
The camera is great but not a thousand dollars great. There is room for improvement in the camera department. Google’s Pixel 2 blow iPhone XS Max Specification out of the water. Sharpness, lighting, and details are behind the competitors. If you want a phone at a similar price range with the best camera, iPhone XS Max isn’t the phone to go.

iPhone XS Max Price
Just like with any luxury phones such as this one, there is no reason to get anything less than 512GB. Sure, it may be overkill for most people. But for some people, luxury and big capacity for saving photos or videos are everything. And the expensive price is not a problem. Neither the price of this iPhone XS Max.
