Right?īoth phones also have eSIMs tucked away inside, though it'll be a while before you can actually use them.Įven better, the XS and XS Max are (finally) rated IP68 for water and dust resistance, meaning you can leave one of these phones in as much as seven feet of water for up to 30 minutes. (Unless you live in China, where regional versions of the XS make you do just that.) The idea here is to offer dual SIM support - so you can attach multiple lines of services to a single device - without having to juggle two tiny pieces of plastic. This is a concession for international users who often have separate lines of service for voice and data, but Apple says you'll eventually be able to activate just the eSIM and skip traditional SIM cards entirely. That's not exactly unheard of - Samsung also offers its massive Galaxy Note 9 with that much storage - but it's a great, if expensive, way to make sure you'll never run out of room for your offline Netflix movies.Ĭhris Velazco/Engadget The Max difference Lastly, in addition to the usual 64GB and 256GB storage options, you can now get an iPhone XS or an XS Max with a whopping 512GB of storage. The iPhone XS has the exact same 5.8-inch Super Retina OLED screen as the iPhone X, and the XS's body is also more or less a dead ringer for last year's flagship. (MacOtakara rightly points out that the XS's dual camera hump is slightly larger.) The only way you'd be able to tell an iPhone XS from its predecessor is if the unit in question sported a handsome gold finish. I can't say the same about the iPhone XS Max.Īfter using the iPhone X for nearly a year, I can safely say that getting used to this design doesn't take long, and the XS's more compact footprint makes it the safer choice for most people.
