Charging tajes over 3hrs with provided charger Less with 12v Capable of fast charge but Not yet available in Australia

Apple's new iPhone XS Max is incredibly fast with a gorgeous display and very impressive cameras. Equally impressive is the price tag, comparable to a down-payment on a small car

IP-68 rated; A12-Bionic is the fastest SoC in the market as of now; Class-leading display with HDR10 and Dolby Vision certification

Unnecessarily expensive; No fast charger in the box; No Lightning-to-3.5mm converter in the box

Picture this. There is a shiny chrome finish coffee maker on the table. Someone places another object near it and it starts reflecting on chrome. All very normal, till I tell you only the table is real here, the coffee maker as well as the very real, real-time reflections on it are all augmented...

It's early days yet for the iPhone Xs Max. I haven't had the phone for a huge amount of time just yet, so inevitably my thoughts and feelings about it may evolve. But from what I've seen so far, I've been impressed with it.

Big; glorious; front-filling screen; Stupendous performance; Decent battery life

Expensive; Pricey; Costly

Bought this phone a couple of months ago. And i absolutely don't regret it. The build quality, looks and perfomace is perfect. I WOULD DEFINITELY RECOMEND THE MAX BECUASE YOU CANNOT SAY NO TO A 6.5 INCH OLED

The biggest and most powerful iPhone yet, and the perfect phone for on-the-move media consumers

iOS 12 is great; Camera is amazing; Epic screen

Might be too large for some; No fast charger in the box

The iPhone Xs Max has a silly name and an even sillier price, but it's as good as it gets

Perfect replacement for my tired 7 plus I was really happy with. No revolutionary difference, one recognizes himself, but still it is clear that one refines the right things. The screen is the most obvious. In zoom mode, the cinemascope fills the entire surface.

In some ways the XS Max could be your perfect phone. It brings the option of a larger screen to those for whom 5.8in just isn’t enough and is the first iPhone to cater for those who need two SIMs. It also brings upgrades to photos (Smart HDR), videos (extended dynamic range) and audio (better stereo). However, it remains tricky to justify the high price (from £1,099), especially if 64GB isn’t enough storage for you. Battery life could be better and while performance is great, it isn’t a huge jump up from the iPhone 8 or X. The upcoming iPhone XR could be a better alternative if you’re after something cheaper, too. And if your current phone isn’t an iPhone 6, 7 or 8 Plus, go to an Apple store and try out an XS Max for size before you buy.

One criticism we often used to hear about the iPhone X is that its 5.8-inch screen simply wasn’t big enough. In 2017, big-screen lovers had to opt for the less fully-featured iPhone 8 Plus to get the most real estate. Not anymore: Smartphone shoppers in 2018 and 2019 have the option of the Apple iPhone XS Max, which offers the biggest screen available in an iPhone to date, along with many top-shelf features such as Face ID. It’s the perfect option for people who want to upgrade from older Plus models. For the first time in a while, you no longer have to choose between features when looking at the iPhone XS and XS Max. In the past, opting for the smaller iPhone over the Plus model meant sacrificing some features such as the dual camera. With the iPhone XS and XS Max, that’s no longer the case. Both phones have the same features, except they differ in battery and screen size. As such, you’d hardly find any differences design-wise over last year’s iPhone X. The front carries the now-iconi...
