I had iPhone 6 then just got iPhone XS in Gold just yesterday and I love it! Even do it is a bit weird without a home button but I got use to it already 😁
I don’t like how you have to press down on the screen for the live wall paper to activate. I’d rather see it in motion every time the screen turns on
Just got my XS love it!!
I have the xs max

Dyod uhsti no one asked
Got my XS in gold too, I love it
Queen Gelli factual
Finally upgraded from 6s to xs max !
Upgraded from my 7 plus gold of 2 years to an Xs max gold and omg I’m in love. I didn’t think it would be that much of a difference but holy hell... blown me away this device.
We all agree that not including a fast charger is cheap on Apple’s part, why do we still support them lol? I rather them not include the earphones at this point in exchange for a fast charger.
It's such a shitty thing to do, but damn do they do a lot right.
Well, the fast charger is much more expensive than the standard charger, look at the fine prints under the iPhone xs page, you'd see that their fast charging test is conducted via MacBook type c chargers, for xs is 30w, for xs max is 87w, the price tag? B-E-A-Utiful as a new iPhone, $49 and $79 respectively, and you have to purchase a USB-C to lightning cable, which costs $35. I bought an iPhone Xs Max, so I had to spend $114 on the fast charger itself and $50 on a phone case. Accessories made for the company big as Apple will usually result in more than 70% of the profit goes to Apple's pocket. (So $114 retail vs. $34.2 cost) I worked in the cell phone accessories industry for quite a few years, and I can tell you, based on the amount apple acquire, their regular phone charger's cost is under $2.50/unit, and the cable itself will not exceed $1.75 to make, the headphone will not exceed $2/unit either, it's their best interest to keep the what they are packing, under the good name of simplistic ideas and betterment for environment. ($2.5+$1.75+$2=$6.25 cost at most) $34.2 vs. $6.25, which helps apple makes more money? And I have to say the cult of iPhone and the shaming of not using iPhone in my friend circle is ridiculous. I used to own a note 8, and it was an excellent phone, but people give you that look for not holding one, especially you spend an almost same amount of money to buy a smartphone. So here I am, purchased an iPhone, ironically, the fastest wireless charging pad available in the market is the ones Samsung send it to me for free when I bought the note 8, which is $99 market price.
r0mediddy I have some 3rd party chargers thatvis smaller then the block Apple sakes for its iPads and I tried to mock up the change in packaging it would require... it’s rough 2.3xs the size of the 5w charger that apple ships and when it comes to charging accessories I think all the resources are being used on AirPower instead of making a smaller quick charger to include in the box
r0mediddy I agree. For the price, they probably should be including that in the box. I’d rather they just lower the price though since I don’t use my lightning port anyway.
i just need a phone honestly i don't care if headphones cable or charger is included at all
I put a clear case on mine cuz I love the gold finish so much too!!! ❤️
Arguably, the best (and concise) review yet! Well done and thank you!!
I upgraded from a 6s plus to a XS plus. Great choice!!
xs max bro
Noman Khan Lol woops! My bad. 😂 I’m usually the one who corrects people
Blows my mind that Apple wouldn’t at least update to the 12w charger that ships with iPads. It literally costs $2 more. But then again they got cheap about the headphone dongle this year too.
Future is wireless charging.
@@alexeysamokhin9629 yes it is but Apple doesn't currently sell a wireless charger and definitely doesn't include one in the Box.
Not putting the dongle in is really cheap! Not impressed!
Tim R that’s what I use to charge my iPhone XS MAX it charges the phone FAST ! I feel u though apple could at least do that much they already charging people $1000 🙄
moose185 Not needed. I always buy earbuds any way so I bought earbuds with lightning connector so don't see the big deal. If I can afford to buy the max I can afford to buy earbuds.
Great video!!! I just upgraded to the 10s Max from 8 plus and it is well worth it.
Great video! Just gone from a 6S to an XS. Super tips. Thank you 😎
just ordered one! upgrading from a 6s plus to this, i’m so excited! 😄😊
"I honestly think i'm just gonna go caseless..." said by someone who can afford to just buy another iPhone or pay to have the XS Max fixed.
This was an amazing, amazing review! Keep the reviews just like this please!👌👌👌
This is the educational videos I love to watch keep up the good work 👍🏽
Just about to pick up one of the XS Max, used but at approximately half current new price. Your comparisons were so helpful and don't require a PhD in Nerdology. I'm upgrading from a 7 Plus which I still think of a quite new. I went for the 512 primarily because it was about £50 difference ($50 approx). I shoot lots of video and I'm starting to use iPhone as secondary camera, tending towards higher framerates, which will fill up a phone quicker. Thanks again for the wonderful explanations that anybody can understand!
6plus to max. $700 down payment... money Well spent
Kareim Hanna same
literally the best iPhone XS (max) video available! Great Job!
aldeen1982 because it’s a paid review
you really think one of these you tubers is not paid? lol :D Watch the video from potato jet... he also reviews the camera and its actually really that good! He really knows what he is talking about.
He- Man it’s not a paid review
Like Always the best! A Real Review with no review word on the title of video 👌🏼
Great video. Learned alot about the camera settings Thanks!
eek! I’m watching this and my Xs is coming tomorrow !!
Finally a really good comparison of the x and xs 👍🏻👍🏻 Didnt expect that the photo quality would be so impressive
By combining wireless charging and non wireless, will it charge faster?
upgraded from iPhone 7 Plus and it has been amazing! I love the gestures and Face ID so much!
Upgrading from 7+ to a iPhone XS Max . I’ll update when it’s delivered !
guess you never got the phone
@@isaiah3888 lmao
Yazmin Arizpe umm it’s been 4 months
damn this post takes ages
Any luck bro ? Been a year did it arrive ?
Nice video.
Thats so much, I am getting the XS Max for my birthday and was curious about how good it actually was, very excited now! :)
I’m soon upgrading from 7 to XS MAX. so excited!
5 watt charger included with $1449 phone? Thanks Apple 🤬
Kenny G that is okay. The Future is wireless! I have three Mophi Qi Charger and don‘t use any cable.
$1,600 with tax. Not complaining. 😅
Dirk Mönnigmann lol u can have 10 wireless chargers but sometimes u still need to use the phone while charging so adding a I pad charging port wouldn’t be a bad idea , they charge I phones extremely fast
I mean you can get the X for $900 at tmobile
If you feel you're getting robbed, buy some company stock (AAPL) and stop complaining.
Getting my xs max tomorrow 😁
Thanks, nice video 👍🏻,I just got mine just last week and it's awesome,I just Love it❤❤❤
Probably my fav video on the subject so far! Great work!!!
Upgraded from a $200 android to this, never looking back
Then your dumb
My thumb permanently clicks now from hyperextending it for years with my 7 plus. So I got the xs and it feels sooo good. The screen is bigger anyway
Jeff, please make a comparison video between iPhone 8 Plus and Xs Max. Feel like checking out some new hardware and getting best possible camera performance on iOS, but at the same time such upgrade feels like too much compromise (and hardly any to no value while at it). Thank you for the review!
Just upgraded from a SE to XS 512gb silver. Love the gold band on the gold version but the back is more pinky beige. Hence why I went for silver. People mainly go for gold just to show it’s the latest version lol. I also think the max is to wide to be comfortable in the hand and even worse in a case. I use my iPhone XS naked as I have insurance. I don’t see the point of having a beautiful phone then hide it with a case.
Scott D how much of a difference is it going from SE To XS??
U right Bro.
Kirk170153 a lot
Scott D You are right! 😂😂 That’s why I choose XS Gold lol
Get a clear case
Glaxy s8 plus to iphone xs😍😍❤❤❤
Same story here ...soon buying a xs max gold 512gb❤
From 0 to 100 how much is better than s8+
Thx i got my xs today its just amazing
I totally agree with you on the color-I just went back to this IPhone XS Max
I got my iPhone XS Max from Hong Kong, and it has the two nano sim socket. just looks a little fatter. and work beautifully. I can use either as DATA, and there is a choice of three options when first install. I think this is much better than a not even working e-Sim option. This will be the main reason there was not a Ton of Asian people in the lines waiting for the new iPhones around the globe, The upgrade for this option alone is worth it, when I see in China many people always with two phones.
Michael Archer yah it’s my main reason.
Where did you buy it? I also want a XS max but I am not sure where to buy it.
My model, as I said, is from HONG KONG! mainland China model is also the same but will cost more. Otherwise, you unlikely to find it outside these parts of the world without a bigger price tag.
@@michaeljarcher I knew that you bought from HK but I wouls like to know the SHOP that you bought it.
Goto Monkok computer centre, In-Smart 2nd Floor. Shop 211-213. Ask for Gareth Li, mention my name I was the first customer. It's a proper Apple dealer.
6s to Xs Max in silver 😍🤩🤪
I like the review, It sums up everything i need to know! Thumbs up! 👏 (Done subscribing)
I’m coming from Android to iPhone for the first time im 1 week in with my Xs max so far I love it

Upgrading from an iPhone 6s to the iPhone XS Max incredible experience 🥳
The real spec ! Thnx dude for this video !
Not upgrading ASAP . Already got my X I’ll wait sometime for these prices to drop 😂
thats the thing, the prices wont drop till next year when the new iphone comes out. its a never ending game lol
I’m chillin while I read this on my XSM 😂😂
@@wuiicy4084 Stop, it's not funny, get some help.
Why would u upgrade from x to xs/xs max🙃
Are you serious, the one time I actually buy the bigger phone I find out it's not any better than the smaller version...
It has a higher display resolution
It has HDR True Tone
Cameraaa
Timothy Gillis equals out because it eats more battery
I upgraded from an iPhone SE this July to an iPhone 8+. Yesterday I upgraded to the Xs Max and this is truly the nicest phone I’ve ever had lol.
Excellent review!
Wow this phone is a fingerprint magnet! Going case-less is easier because the phone has more grip than the aluminum but I have to keep wiping it off because it shows off fingerprints so well...funny because there’s no touch-ID
iPhone 3GS to iPhone XS Max I am in love!
Jesus how did that old phone still work
Great video! Getting my XS in 5 days😃
I just got my iPhone XS Max today! Merry Christmas!
Stainless still
Well you could get a clear case that’s what I do
I’m getting an xs for Christmas 🎄 so exited!😊
Good video I just got my XS max today
same :D
OMG your voice! 😍
It is sooo 😍😍
The rumored split view feature in iphone max is not available?
But it is oñ galaxy.. this was like a downfrade from my s8+ glad i didn't do a trade in
king maneej yeah I got the S8+ and iPhone XS max because I paid off the galaxy. SO GLAD I DIDN’T TRADE IN!!
These Eyes See Darkness Clearly sammeeee lol
One of the main things I was hoping for. Hopefully they can do it with a software update.
You idiots. It’s just a matter of an update. Wait and see
Love the video but the text background just made me think my mac was on night shift :D
what case should I buy? Mine gets here friday
Whoever watching without having an iPhone?
I love my new Xs!
King Slinky how do you like it?
King Slinky yes, definitely a big upgrade! I upgraded from a 7 Plus.
@@Vicki_Benji hows the front camera, isn't the smoothing a bit annoying it feels like a snap filter
Ghosty the smoothing effect is better since the last update.

Hey Jeff, on 9:24 were you looking at them one-by-one or focusing kind of in the middle? NIce job on the photos comparison!
Б Н probably middle. I THINK I’ve noticed even better angled unlocks on my Max.
getting the XS MAX for my birthday, i have the 8 plus right now
The number one feature it has that no other phone has: being expensive
Because new technology always gets cheaper.... Rolls eyes.... Oh sorry. you wanted cutting edge design and performance at half the cost. My bad. Also, inflation. Hopefully you were wise enough to ask for a raise every year to counter act that.
Except there are phones out there that are almost better in every way with a significantly cheaper price. This doesn't have anything to do with new tech costing more, it has to do with Apple being greedy so they price their products way more than it actually needs to be and there are several other examples of their greediness in a lot of their products, and not including a dongle in this $1000+ phone is just one of the many things Apple has done to keep milking their customers. Justifying the price point because it's "newer" tech proves you know nothing about how things actually work. There's absolutely almost no changes to the newer iPhones. The only things that's actually changed are their size and price.
MRsjovealek - I did defend Apple for not including a fast charger. I do have their products. I still don’t think a fast charger is necessary because of the direction charging is going. Wireless. To be critical of Apple, if they’re not going to include a fast charger they should release that power mat for wireless charging. Also, I use an iPad power brick for “fast charging”. But seriously. How can you complain about things getting more expensive? Gum cost a nickel in the 70s. It’s called inflation. And while that’s only a part of it, technology is not cheap to produce...
MRsjovealek I’ll mostly agree but I think AAPL is betting on the value of their ecosystem, which is difficult to quantify. Nothing integrates more seamlessly than apple products. Samsung doesn’t even come close or I’d have their products. And I don’t think Samsung phones are faster. Apple has full control over device software and hardware optimization. Android phones are Frankenstein’ed together w Google OS and Samsung hardware. Samsung/android phones have more processing power and RAM because the units aren’t optimized. You need faster processors to deliver same geekbench scores. Requires more power and android phones have lower battery life. Apple takes the other route: more optimization = less power = longer battery.
eM There's several things wrong with your comment. Android phones have always had better battery life. This has actually been proven with actual evidence. The only reason why the XS Max beats the note 9 in battery life is because it has a much higher screen resolution but you can easily turn that down if you prefer batter life. "Slower" like you can actually tell the difference. The majority of the reviews from both phones don't actually say any of them are slow. Both of them are super fast so that's not actually something that really matters when choosing which phone to get. I guess it's okay for Apple to keep raising the price because of this "ecosystem" you keep talking about but if you actually ask people all around the world why they bought an iPhone, the majority of them won't even say anything of what you mentioned here.The main reason why most people actually get an iPhone is because everyone else has them which is where you get the term "iSheep" from and that's not just a joke, that's actually true, and I'm not criticizing anyone for doing that because if they like the phone and they're happy with it then hey good on them. I'm just pointing something out that most people only buy iPhones because that's what everyone else has, and it's not actually for any of the reasons you mentioned. If you go up to anyone you know and ask them why they got am iPhone, I'm willing to bet that the reason why they got an iPhone won't be any of the reasons you just mentioned here.
it's price tag isn't justifiable , you are paying for customer service not for quality
MrProTechHD What do you mean? Apple care isn’t included with base pay.
Thanks sir..i have bought iphone xs max.thanks for your advice & suggestion.
I’m upgrading to the XS MAX this Friday from a 6s really really really excited!
Owen Auble hope you like it, getting mine this weekend
Skylar Neyses I actually got the XR today but I’m loving it right now. The size difference between the XR and my previous 6 is crazy😂
Owen Auble oh yeah, nice!!
Actually watching this on my XS 512gb
Got mine, 2 days ago. Love it!
I bought the 256 as the 512 was out of stock
i still have a 6 plus :((
This is a really great video and I'm gonna get the iPhone XS Max because I've never had a iPhone before only android's so this video is very helpful and when I get this cool phone this is gonna change my android world to a Apple world
I love everything about my XSMax switched from i6+ last night and I can’t put this dam thing down lol I’m good for the next decade hahaaa 📲👍🏽🔋🥳
Nice video Jeff! Tim Cook consistently reminds us, with his overly enthusiastic voice intonations, that Apple is ALL ABOUT the customer experience. So I find it ironic that the very first experience customers have with the new iPhones is seeing that sorry-butt P.O.S. 5W slow charging cube! By all that is good and holy, stop this Apple, just stop this! 🤬
What was the asteroid game called?
Thanks so very much...learned several new tricks😜
Finally upgrading from Iphone 5s to Iphone XS!!! 🥰 Can't wait for it to arrive!
I do not care what you say the iPhone XS gold has Saturn as default lock/home screen.
There's not enough to tempt me to upgrade to the Xs from my X mate I only use the camera to capture family photos and to be honest the X does this no drama I'm not after the fancy camera stuff, now if they had teased me with more of a raw performance boost or a doubling of RAM or a systemwide darkmode exclusive to the device or all 3 I would have been straight onto it. Until then I'll stick with my jailbroken X with darkmode everywhere. 😀
I don’t see why people would upgrade every year. Seems like you would upgrade after your phone no longer works good. Hopefully that’s at least 3-4 years.
Have a note 8 want to know should I upgrade to the max ?
I just got mine XS max today , although it is fuxxking expensive but I really love it😍😍
Watching on my Xs Max xD
robogameshd same

I upgrade from 5s to Xs😀😀
Watching on my 6s Plus...still a beast.
Definitely loving my new iPhone XS Max!
