iPhone ‘S' release years have always had an air of controversy to them. They're viewed by most as a stop-gap measure until the next true upgrade, despite sometimes selling better than numbered releases.

Display is stunning; Processor bump is substantial; Still a sleek-looking smartphone

Design is similar to last year's iPhone X; Expensive; especially in Canada; iPhone XR might be the better option for most people

It is that year when the new iPhone is distinguished from its predecessor by an initial – and in keeping with past tradition, that initial is an S. And just like many in the past that came with the "S tag" in their names (4S, 5S, 6s), the new iPhone XS is more about performance enhancements than...

Premium design; Faster; very smooth performance; Improved speakers and sound; Superb cameras

Slightly buggy software; Looks exactly like the X; Battery better but not comparable to the competition; The price

Apple's latest iPhones are now available . Or, at least two of them are. The iPhone XS and iPhone XS Max are here, but we're still waiting on the iPhone XR , a lower-priced version coming later in October. That's right: Apple's split the iPhone X lineup this year into three offerings .

The iPhone XS has a markedly improved dual camera, delivering better photos than the iPhone X in both dark and high-contrast environments; It has a faster processor, faster face ID, adds dual SIM support and it's now available in gold and 512GB versions

Its battery life is the shortest of the three new iPhones and only incrementally better than last year's; Despite its still-rich price tag, key extras such as increased storage, USB-C fast chargers and headphone dongles will have you spending even more

The iPhone XS launched earlier last month to huge fanfare, as is usual for an iPhone launch, and to nobody's surprise it looks pretty much the same as the iPhone X (apart from one physical difference). I've been using the iPhone XS ( starts at Rs.

Great cameras; Stereo speakers are loud and amazing; Beautiful display with HDR10 and Dolby Vision; Powerful performance; Dual SIM; Excellent build quality

Extremely pricey at a starting price of Rs; 99,900, No fast charger in the box, and the bundled charger is an atrocity beyond words, Some apps are still not optimised for the notched bezel-less display, Beauty Gate, Notch (but that's subjective, I guess

While we'd still recommend the iPhone XR first, the XS has some extras worth noting.

This is the iPhone XS – pronounced ‘10-S', not ‘excess' as you might think. It looks identical to last year's iPhone X , and you might think that not a lot has changed – but it's inside where the differences lie.

Smart HDR helps the camera; More powerful again; Fast operation in the hand

Battery life not world-beating; Design not altered in a year; Still very expensive
