Apple iPhone XS, iPhone XS Max and iPhone Xr Launched

The good news is Apple just announced iPhone XS and iPhone XS Max and iPhone Xr, the company’s latest flagship smartphones.

iPhone Xs

The iPhone Xs is an upgraded version of last year’s iPhone X, keeping the same design, 5.8″ OLED display and dimensions, but featuring upgraded internal components, like a new, ground-breaking A12 Bionic chipset.

iPhone Xs Max

The iPhone Xs Max is the largest iPhone in history with an expansive 6.5” AMOLED screen. The bezels have dissolved, giving the screen a tall 19.5:9 aspect ratio and leaving behind a notch. The new screen has essentially the same width as the 5.5” panel on the iPhone 8 Plus, but the extra height accommodates additional content.

There is a seriously upgrades dual-camera on both new iPhones as well. As before, there is a main 12 MP camera and a 12 MP telephoto camera for 2x optical zoom and Portrait mode photos. So, the number of megapixels is the same, but the camera sensor is new, ensuring more detailed and higher-quality images.

Touch ID is dead, long live Face ID. Apple has refused to move the fingerprint reader to the back, leaving the 3D face scanner as the only biometric authentication method.
