Abstract: We're used to Apple phones being expensive, but the iPhone Xs Max is something else. Starting at £1,099 for the 64GB model, and going all the way to £1,449 for the 512GB version, I can only assume the "Max" is not a reference to its size or power, but a r...

XS Max form factor, top performance, camera improvements
Battery life could be better, incremental upgrades
There is much to applaud the XS and XS Max. Better performance, better machine learning, better speakers and microphones, a bigger screen on the Max, camera improvements, dual SIM (nano-SIM and eSIM) capability and a better IP68 water and dust resistance...
In some ways the XS Max could be your perfect phone. It brings the option of a larger screen to those for whom 5.8in just isn't enough and is the first iPhone to cater for those who need two SIMs.It also brings upgrades to photos (Smart HDR), videos (exte...

massive, gorgeous screen, decent battery life, water resistance, great camera, Face ID
no fingerprint scanner, very expensive, no fast charger in the box, no headphone socket, massive body
The iPhone XS Max is big, beautiful and expensive. Its primary selling point is that enormous, gorgeous screen, which is really only useful for watching video or viewing photos.But in maximising the screen, Apple has lost some of the charm that made the i...

Incredible camera, Massively powerful and fast, Fantastic HDR screen
Big without making especially good use of it, Battery life only average, Yeah, it's pretty expensive
In the past, Apple's ‘S' phones have always been a little faster and more refined, like this year, but have also had a big new feature, such as Siri, or Touch ID. The lack of that in the XS can definitely be felt if you're weighing it up as an upgrade fro...
Awesome cameras, Attractive display, Strong design (like last year), Improved battery, Fast performer, Dual sim is a neat extra
Most expensive iPhones, Battery on XS better but not enough
The iPhone XS is a decent, if identical-looking, upgrade to the iPhone X. If you like a larger-build phone, the XS Max is an amazing upgrade to the iPhone 8 Plus and a significant improvement on the iPhone X. None of these phones is cheap: the iPhone XS c...
This isn't in any way a fair fight. The XS Max is the current flagship iPhone, and as such is loaded with the latest processors, cameras, and display technology. It's a far better smartphone than the iPhone 7 Plus.But, it has to be, because the price diff...
We have yet to get our hands on the Xs Max, so it's tough to deliver a comprehensive verdict on this matchup. The Note 9 is a fantastic phone, though our review notes that the improvements from the Note 8 are rather minor, making the price tag a bit steep...
Screen great for gaming & movies, Camera is a strong offering
Price: most expensive iPhone ever, Size can make it tricky to handle
The iPhone XS Max is something special. It's the first time Apple has really pushed its screen size boundaries, and by offering a huge 6.5-inch display it's made its smartphone line attractive to a new segment of potential customers.Apple's App Store and...
