Exceptional materials. The most durable glass ever in a smartphone. A beautiful new gold finish, achieved with an atomic-level process. Precision-machined, surgical-grade stainless steel bands. And a new level of water and dust resistance.2
Surgical-grade stainless steel. Apple uses a special custom-designed alloy that’s precisely machined to create structural bands in three finishes.
PVD colour process. Gold and space grey finishes use an advanced physical vapour deposition process on the stainless steel bands for colours and reflectivity that beautifully complement the glass.
Wireless charging. The glass back allows iPhone XS to charge wirelessly.3 And it charges even faster than iPhone X.
Advanced Face ID. Security is simple when your face is your password. You can unlock your iPhone, log in to apps and pay for things with a glance. It’s the most secure facial authentication ever in a smartphone. And now it’s even faster.
Intelligent A12 Bionic. This is the smartest, most powerful chip in a smartphone, with Apple’s next‑generation Neural Engine. For amazing augmented reality experiences. Incredible portraits with Depth Control. And speed and fluidity in everything you do.

Apple iPhone Xs Max faq's
The Apple iPhone XS Max sports a 6.5-inch Super Retina HD display, which is surrounded by a thin steel frame. Measuring in 157.5 x 77.4 x 7.7mm, it does put one-handed use to the test and is more suited to a two-hand grip.
The iPhone XS Max has dual 12MP cameras on the back: one for wide-angle shots and one for telephoto. These work together to improve depth of field in your photos and provide more advanced photo editing effects. Both sensors have optical image stabilisation – so you’ll still get crisp, clear photos with shaky hands.
The XS Max comes packed with a number of cool camera features, like the new Smart HDR function. Using faster sensors and a clever algorithm, the XS Max can detect different scenes to provide more detail in your shots.
A lot of work has also been put in to improve the bokeh and depth control functions, this gives you more control over the blurry out of focus part of a photo; making it more like a full DSLR camera, so you can get high quality snaps straight from your pocket
The Apple iPhone XS Max is water-resistant to IP68 standard, so it’s built to withstand dust, dirt or sand particles, and can be submerged in up to 2metres of water for up to 30 minutes before getting into trouble.
That said, with dual speakers on the top and bottom of the device, we wouldn’t recommend you take it out for a swim.
Apple announced that the iPhone XS Max will last up to 1hour 30 minutes longer than the iPhone X on a single charge. This means you can expect to get a day out of the XS Max’s 3,400mAh battery before you need to pop it on charge.
The iPhone XS Max does come with wireless charging and is compatible with any QI charger. Unfortunately, it doesn’t come with a wireless charger as standard so you’ll need to pick one up if you want to use this feature. It also boasts a fast-charge feature, that gives you up to 50% charge in 30minutes, but again a fast-charger doesn’t come with the handset as standard.
No, if you want a 3.5mm jack to lightening port adaptor for your iPhone XS Max then you’ll need to pick one up separately. However it does come with EarPods with lightning connector as standard.
The Apple iPhone XS and iPhone XS Max are very similar, in fact, they’re near identical in every aspect. Both have the company’s A12 Bionic processor, longlist of smart camera features and run iOS 12. The only differing factor is size and weight.
The iPhone XS has a 5.8-inch display, while the XS Max boasts a 6.5-inch screen – although both sport True Tone OLED panels and 458 pixels-per-inch.
The iPhone XS is perfect for one-handed use at 143.6 x 70.9x 7.7mm and weighs 177g. The XS Max on the other hand is more suited to a two-handed hold measuring in at 157.5 x 77.4 x 7.7mm and weighing 208g.
