The iPhone XS Max is the biggest phone created by Apples. It’s 6.5 inch huge screen is quite an intimidating device in the hands plus it is a welcomed development for lovers of movies and for game playing.
The iPhone xs max is not just dominating in size but also in price. The prices varies according to its storage capacity. The 64GB iPhone XS Max model goes for $1,099. while the 256GB model goes for $1,249. If you want a bigger internal storage then you might consider the most expensive 512GB iPhone XS Max model which goes for a whopping $1,449! Quite the price to pay.
The 512GB IPHONE XS Max model price puts it in a league of its own as the most expensive smart phone. The question is; are you willing to pay that much for your dream phone ?
Like all phones, xs max has it’s disadvantages. The iPhone XS Max has the same design with iPhone X but a bit bigger. It has subtle rounded sides which makes it visibly thick. The outcome is that it doesn’t get to sit as comfortably as it should in your hands. This is no jokes as you would want your phone well placed in your hands considering the cost and size.
A comparison with Samsung Galaxy Note 9 (6.4-inch screen), OnePlus 6T (6.41-inch) and Sony Xperia XZ3 (6-inch), shows that the xs max felt thicker, and less comfortable to hold than all of them. The iPhone XS Max is actually thinner than these phones but the difference is that they were tapered at the rear edges giving them a thinner look which allows the users to hold them a bit more comfortably.
The XS Max is the best iPhone as it comes with a bit more protection. The new glass on its front and rear is tougher than what’s at iPhone X while it’s water and dust resistance has been highly enhanced.
There has also been significant improvement on its liquid protection which has been increased to IP68. The effect is that it enables it to remain intact if submersed in a depth of two meters for 30 minutes. It also provides protection to various other liquids like wine , beer, salt water milk, chlorinated water and so on. However, it is not advisable to consciously expose the phone to the above mentioned liquids because Apple’s warranty like most phones does not cover damages made by liquids. That means that if a damage is done to your phone due to exposure to water or any liquid, the iPhone XS Max warranty will not be applicable to it.
The new iPhone does not have headphone jack but you get a centralized speaker and microphone holes on the base of the iPhone. The iPhone XS Max supports wireless charging which allows you to multi task on various devices.
There is also ease in operating the XS Max as the lock/power button is located on the right side which makes it easy to navigate with the thumb or forefinger while the volume keys are located on the left side of the phone, directly below the mute button. The SIM tray is below this key but is now dual enabled.
The newest iPhone XS Max is by far the best iPhone manufactured. If you can go past the price and it’s uncomfortable physical features then you’re in for an amazing phone time.
