iPhone XS and XS Max have already taken the internet by storm.
Apple’s September event was packed with exciting new products. People have been eagerly waiting for the launch of some of the most talked about iPhones throughout the year. the leaks and rumors kept us wondering how the actual iPhones will be like. Now that they have been released, we could not help but wait to pre-order one for ourselves. And guess what, you can officially pre-order iPhone XS and XS Max now. Instead of going with the count and introducing iPhone 11, the company came up with an interesting alternative; XS and XS Max. Given that the company has halted the production of iPhone X, 6S, and SE, we are expecting that the new ones are going to make the sales go on fire. Not only because of that but the sales are expected to be in big numbers due to the initial popularity that these iPhones have gotten. Out of everything that came out from the Apple’s latest event, there is no doubt that these iPhones have impressed us the most.

Quick review

While the XS has a display of 5.8-inch, XS Max has a 6.5-inch OLED display. The screen is humongous for a phone. Both the iPhones have a surgical steel finish that makes them look very edgy. Further, the phones also have a brand new glass formulation for a much better durability. Its OLED screen has a Super Retina Display. The company has also enhanced its range up to 60% than the previous ones. For the resolution, you get 458 pixels per inch. At the front screen’s top, there are a bunch of other things embedded in its bezel i.e., front camera, dot projector, flood illuminator, ambient light sensor, speaker, microphone, and proximity sensor. The phones are available in gold, silver, and space grey. XS has a 12-megapixel rear and 7-megapixel front camera. Its back camera is dual and its 12-megapixel camera is paired with 12-megapixel telephoto lens sensor. These lenses have f 1.8 and f 2.4 apertures respectively. The iPhone XS  is equipped with IP68 that does the job. The phone can stay up to two meters in water for several minutes and still work as good as new. And to our surprise, the phone also survives in liquids like orange juice, tea, and a couple of alcoholic drinks (beer and wine were tested).
