The iPhone XS Max (pronounced ‘Ten S Max’) was the largest smartphone Apple had ever released when it launched in September 2018. With a 6.5-inch display, hardly any screen bezel, and the now-iconic top-screen notch, it was a dominating presence in the hand.
Sure, it’s no longer one of Apple’s latest phones after being superseded by the iPhone 11 range in 2019, the iPhone 12 range in 2020, and lastly the iPhone 13 lineup in 2021. Among those is the iPhone 13 Pro Max, the latest big iPhone which has stretched out to a 6.7-inch display in the same-sized frame, and improved the cameras and specs to boot.
While no longer the biggest and fastest iPhone out there, the iPhone XS Max is still an impressive piece of kit: It’s fast, has great cameras, and longer-lasting battery than most of Apple’s lineup. And after being on the market for a few years, you can pick it up for a bargain now.
Just don’t expect to pick it up from Apple directly: the tech giant dropped the iPhone XS Max from its stores to simplify the product range, but it’s still available from retailers and carriers – and at a significantly lower cost than when it launched.
While the iPhone XS Max was the largest and most expensive iPhone at launch with its 6.5-inch display, it’s been surpassed in both size and cost by premium Android flagships. The phone still dominates your pocket, which was a bold statement from a firm that had resisted expanding its phones’ screen sizes to the same enormous degree as its Android rivals.
For those who crave more screen for video and gaming on the go, the expansive display of the iPhone XS Max (and newer iPhone 12 Pro Max) are a welcome part of Apple’s lineup, while those wanting a premium experience without the supersized dimensions can take comfort that it’s launched alongside the smaller iPhone XS – though if you want small, the iPhone 12 mini is the tiniest iPhone in years.
And while it misses out on the iPhone 12 Pro Max’s truly impressive night photography, the iPhone XS Max retains nearly all the perks inherited by its replacement. For a lower cost, you’re still getting a plus-sized iPhone with the best iOS has to offer (with all the perks of iOS 14) and a great display for binging media.
Update: Apple has released iOS 15 and confirmed that the software will come to the iPhone XS Max. Highlights of iOS 15 include the ability to include Android users on FaceTime calls, additional details in Apple Maps, statuses for Messages, and much more.
