With the XS comes the latest processors, cameras, and display tech, Portrait mode, Animoji and much more.But, there is a huge price difference, especially now that the 7 has been discounted. As we said above the price difference is almost enough to buy an...

Most expensive iPhones, Battery on XS better but not enough
The iPhone XS is a decent, if identical-looking, upgrade to the iPhone X. If you like a larger-build phone, the XS Max is an amazing upgrade to the iPhone 8 Plus and a significant improvement on the iPhone X. None of these phones is cheap: the iPhone XS c...
Abstract: A classic beauty. The Grace Kelly of iPhone colours. You can’t really go wrong with a silver iPhone. Yes, they’re slightly more vulnerable to scuffs and scratches. But think of the style longevity! You’ll likely be touting this well into the latter half o...

The iPhone XS is, obviously, the best that Apple's ever created – that's no surprise, as it's the new flagship iPhone. However, the question is whether Apple has done enough to make this the most attractive to buy, and whether it's enough to stop anyone m...

The iPhone XS adds some impressive camera improvements to the already-great iPhone X. But you should seriously wait and see what the lower-priced XR coming in October is like...

Abstract: The first wave of verdicts from select reviewers given early access to Apple's latest iPhone XS and XS Max are live.Gone are the traditional iPhones of yesteryear, with three devices launched all with a design in line with last year's iPhone X. The iPhone...
On the basis of this evidence, it looks like the Pixel 3 is struggling in the battle of the flagship handsets. That said, it's hard to completely write-off a smartphone that hasn't even been officially announced yet.The iPhone definitely takes the crown i...

The iPhone XS is a lot more expensive than the 8 so you need a lot of reasons to upgrade or choose it out of the two.What you get is the modern bezel-free design with a large screen that also offers better tech. There's also a newer A12 processor, a secon...

If you're buying a new iPhone, the iPhone XR is the cheapest way to get Apple's latest tech. But at £749/$749, it's still not exactly cheap by definition. The colours are great though, and it's got a larger screen than the XS for less money.But then, the...
Apple has made it easy for customers to pick up the iPhone they really want this year. There are no trade-offs with cameras or other features, as both units are identical except for size of chassis and screen. True, you get a bit more battery life with th...
