The only feature which sets iPhone's apart from other devices is it's iOS and Chipsets. They are unique but not necessarily better. The A11 Bionic chipset has chart topping single core speed but it slows down and heats up within minutes. Due to poor RAM Management various background apps are forced to close to accommodate the next process. The cause is attributed to Apple's poorly designed Core Architecture. Some iPhone devotees will refute this but it's well documented.
Anandtech
"When we’re looking at competitor devices we see only the iPhone X able to compete with the last generation Snapdragon 845 devices – however with a catch. The A11 is severely thermally constrained and is only able to achieve these scores when the devices are cold. Indeed as seen from the smaller score of the iPhone 8, the SoC isn’t able to sustain maximum performance for even one benchmark run before having to throttle".
For the time being let's assume the A12 Bionic chipset has overcome these deficiencies, even though as yet there's little information in this regard. In practical UI functions, iPhones are losing ground to android devices with respect to performance. It's at the point where there's little or no difference in how quickly a device responds when moving through apps or programs. No doubt iPhone has butter smooth functionality however newer, top tier android devices have overcome past issues with lag or shuddering.
So with this in mind, unless you're a die hard Apple fanboy, it's getting harder and harder to justify price/value considerations for Apple's flagships. As previously mentioned the XS Max, 512 Gb is $1,449.00 USD. Add in AppleCare and tax, you're paying almost $1,800.00 USD and in box comes only one extra, earpods. I think it's safe to assume at this price point there will be a lot more Apple customers happy to cut ties and chose a comparable android device for close to half the price.

Dez, 15 Sep 2018for such a large display should be at least 550 ppi. There ... moreActually this is one of the cheapest amoled displays. Apple is trying to milk the idiots as much as they can. In my country iPhone X started over 1500 $ and now is on 1200-1300 $. How much do you think XS Max will cost ? F*uck apple :) Xperia XZ Premium is 500 $ and has ~800 ppi. And is a lot better.

for such a large display should be at least 550 ppi. There was a time Apple was leading and all others were following. Sonys xz3 and all samsung notes will blow this display out of the water
