Did anyone else notice this.
In previous review for iPhone X & Xs, they compared the numbers under sunlight legibility, which would make anyone believe that it's better than, say, Samsung's Amoled's on large devices.
But here for the first time (correct me if I am wrong), they cleared that the sunlight legibility is lower because of how Amoled's behave when stretched in size.
So earlier, this made me, and I am sure many others, that Apple's display is better in this regard, now I know that it's because of the smaller size

Well apple way to remove everything but increase price and for a 1650 price they offer what laggy buggy device with charging problems.
Well apple way how to show how grateful is to its loyal customers :-)

FOR that much I'd expect much more. Truely disappointed in terms of endurance!

Horrendous battery life... Nothing new.

After reading the review, I can confidently say that this iPhone has been beaten at almost everything by Samsung Galaxy Note 9. The only thing it has superior to Note 9 is only the benchmark result which in real life do not matter. You're paying $1.1K+ for 64 gigs version and still, you get a 79-hour battery endurance????, You get an ugly looking notch, no headphone jack, no headphone jack dongle, no fast charger in the box, even no sim ejection tool, No SD card slot for content makers. An ugly looking iOS with no widgets customization and app drawer. No split-screen mode, no fingerprint sensor as anyone can see your pin when you're with friends. We don't want any beauty mode or we need charge gate controversy that we're paying 1400 dollars and your iPhone refuses to charge. We don't want to look like ladies holding our phone in the air just to have that face unlock triggered. No innovation at all. You just implemented dual sim capability in your iPhones and think that it's a big achievement? Android phones had iP68 rating years ago and you're implementing that now??? Sorry Apple, enough playing with our hard earned money. No more Apple products from now on.

And again, not even one sample, where we can hear audio quality.
First iPhone that should record decent sound, but no sample ...
Seriously who cares if the image quality is 3% better than older gen, sound quality should be like +300% better.
That needs attention!
It is probably the only serious upgrade over older gen.

Anonymous, 01 Oct 2018Note 8 = 3300mAh and 89h. 1h required 37.07mAh IPho... moreI dont know why but the tests done on youtube show much better battery life for the Xs Max compared to the Note 8. Its battery life is actually similar to that of the Note 9 in FHD+ mode.

Usually iPhones inspire your inner feelings to go for it; last two iterations they are very underwhelming for me, never makes me to go for it! Probably lots of Android knock-offs (Notched ones especially) with better specs distracts me enough..

Well about the review.
You pay 1650 for a phone in the box but to be exact.
1000 goes to phone. 50 goes to cardboard box, 20 for needle to undo sim trays, 100 for plug into electricity, 100 for cable, another 80 for instructions and 300 to fill your warranty card.
And thats we have 1650 for XS Max with 512GB disk space and faulty phone with charging problems and other usual prebulescent apple laggs and buggs as a happy to give you a gift for being loayal customer.
Apple thanks :-((((((((((((((((((

Nech, 01 Oct 2018Only getting this for the huge screen. Everything else has... moreActually next year's iPhones are supposed to come with a triple-camera setup. You might want to hold off if you care about that sort of thing. Other than that though, it likely won't have much else to offer. One area that Apple should really consider improving is battery size. 79 hours of estimated endurance rating is pretty low.

WAIT "The demand is THROUGH THE ROOF"???
Seriously? They're actually saying that they're selling less than what they expected....

Only getting this for the huge screen.
Everything else has been great already. (SoC/screen quality/battery/performance, etc)
as nothing else in the future of iPhones will provide a worthy upgrade; not for another 2-3 years.

Gsmarena, thank you for the tele camera low-light comparison with the portrait mode trick. That's pretty useful.
In my opinion Apple's decision to use digital zoom is often bad.

Note 8 = 3300mAh and 89h. 1h required 37.07mAh
IPhone Max = 3174 mAh and 79h .... 1h required 40.17mAh
Difference is 8.3% in favor of old Note 8.
Both have almost same screen size, but Note has Qhd+ and 10nm CPU.
Which translate to poor endurance by iPhone...

As far as iPhones go, this is probably one of the best in recent years. A complete package with very little compromises (by Apple's standards). I can see why iPhone users would line up to buy this.
As for the rest of us Android users, this is just another iPhone that is irrelevant to us.

They should do a version with 13,3 cm tall.
