Pros
Our editorial view of this model’s strengths and limitations.
A high-contrast screen
The Apple iPhone XS Max has a 6.5-inch OLED screen with deep blacks that give photos and video more depth. It also suits reading with a dark theme.
A separate telephoto camera
The Apple iPhone XS Max includes a dedicated telephoto camera. It gives you a tighter view of a person or detail without immediately cropping a small part of the main camera image, which is handy for portraits.
4K video recording
The camera can record 4K video. That gives you more detail for a larger screen and some room for cropping during editing, though the files take up more storage.
