![]() ![]() It matches the most important specs ( though not all ) of the iPhone XS and starts at $750. As for those upgrading from older iPhones, I’d suggest you take a long, hard look at the more colourful iPhone XR. So while there are numerous smart improvements internally, from the outside the only way to tell you have an iPhone XS is if you get the gold one.Ĭonsequently, my advice to iPhone X owners would be to hold tight for another year - you are not the target audience. While the naming may be new, the iPhone XS is the very definition of a typical iPhone ‘S year’. IPhone XS (left) is arguably less interesting than the new iPhone XS Max (middle) and iPhone XR. Something not even close to the 15W supported by the Qi-standard it uses. The aforementioned “faster” wireless charging is vague and doesn’t suggest much improvement over the 7.5W achieved by the iPhone X. In fact, battery life is the area where I have most complaints with the iPhone XS. This is surprising given the A12’s 50% increase in efficiency while idle and Apple really should’ve fitted a bigger battery: You’ll be less impressed to hear it’s just “30 minutes longer” according to Apple. The iPhone X didn’t have great battery life, so you’ll be pleased to hear the iPhone XS has more stamina.

This is another area where Apple has fallen behind Google so, hopefully, Smart HDR rides to the rescue here as well. Just like last year, the iPhone XS can also take Portrait photos with its front camera. IPhone XS camera improvements promise much improved low light performance Apple The iPhone XS is the first iPhone to support 600 MHz so this will be a big deal to people living in 600 MHz-only areas. 600 MHz is a slower network band, but it is one which covers great distances and is being used by networks to deliver coverage to areas previously without signal. Īs for 600 MHz support, this is a genuinely great addition. Useful at a time when Apple is unlikely to support 5G anytime soon. While both speeds are unlikely to be achieved in real-world scenarios, it helps future proof the iPhone XS. The Cat 16 leap is significant as it will achieve potential 4G speeds of one gigabit whereas Cat 12 was limited to 600 Mbit. In addition, the iPhone XS has “faster” wireless charging (another improvement Apple declined to define) as well as much faster 4G networking with a leap from Cat 12 to Cat 16 LTE and support of the 600MHz band. What does ‘Bionic’ mean? It’s marketing nonsense. A boost to 3GB of RAM should help multitasking as well, the one area where Apple has struggled against rivals. In terms of smarts, Apple says the A12 will also deliver improvements to image processing (more in the ‘Cameras’ section), while it is behind the iPhone XS’s aforementioned speed improvements with Face ID. The iPhone X has surprisingly loudspeakers (more so than the front firing, stereo supporting Pixel 2) so this should be a welcome increase for anyone who likes to listen to podcasts on the kitchen counter. Next up, and equally subtle, is a 25% increase in speaker volume and stereo support - the latter of which Apple promises deliver audibly clear left and right channels. You can read about the technicalities here, but essentially it means you can now submerge your iPhone in up to three metres of water instead of one. The first of these is increased IP68 water and dust resistance over the IP67 certification in the iPhone X. That said, Apple has made design improvements, you just won’t spot them with the naked eye. Yes, a 3g (0.1 oz) weight difference is it. While looking closely at the iPhone XS display will reveal its upgrades over the iPhone X, the same can’t be said of their designs: Read more - iPhone XS Vs iPhone XS Max: What's The Difference? But given Face ID on the iPhone X was slower than the Touch ID fingerprint recognition system it replaced and we unlock our phones dozens of times a day, all improvements here are welcome. ![]() #IPHONE XS GREEDFALL IMAGES SOFTWARE#No concrete figure was put on the difference, and the improvements are believed to be software based, as opposed to new hardware. Furthermore, while the notch remains (and is no smaller) on the iPhone XS, Apple claims the Face ID facial recognition system housed within it is “faster”. ![]()
