Apple iPhone XS Max review: the best gets bigger

 

The iPhone XS Max takes an already amazing phone and soups up every part of it

Incredible camera ; Massively powerful and fast ; Fantastic HDR screen

Big without making especially good use of it ; Battery life only average ; Yeah, it's pretty expensive

iPhone XS Max review

 

Apple's biggest, priciest iPhone ever

Screen great for gaming & movies ; Camera is a strong offering ; Extremely fast

Price: most expensive iPhone ever ; Size can make it tricky to handle

Apple finally delivers an iPhone with a huge screen, and for movie-watching, game-playing fans the iPhone XS Max is an exciting new addition to the range. It certainly costs a lot, but if you can get past the price, the XS Max offers up a supersized...

Apple iPhone XS Max review: It's all about the display

 

With the Android market heating up, has the XS Max lost its appeal or is it still a worth purchase?

Beautiful design ; Great big screen ; Camera quality is excellent ; Battery lasts a full day comfortably

Too big for some ; No fast charger

As an overall experience, the iPhone XS Max is hard to fault. It's fluid, fast and effortless, and is a premium package that looks and feels great in the hand.

Apple iPhone XS Max

 

If the iPhone X or even an iPhone 8 Plus wasn't big enough for you, then the 6.5-inch iPhone XS Max should be right up your street. If you can afford it, that is. Here's our review.

iPhone XS Max review

 

UPDATED: New photo gallery included after a few weeks shooting with Apple's flagship blower

Gorgeous display ; Absurdly powerful ; Superb camera ; Great build quality

Expensive ; The notch still irks ; Wobbles when set on a table ; No headphone dongle in the box

A premium phone with a premium price tag. But for Plus fans who couldn’t commit to iPhone X last year, it’s worth the outlay

Apple iPhone XS Max mobile phone review

  (Rating Hidden)

Scarcely any different to the iPhone XS which in itself is hardly any different to the iPhone X, it would be naïve to expect the world of the iPhone XS Max. What we do expect, though, is a top choice handset that can provide a viable, if pricey,...

Review: Apple iPhone XS Max

 

How can Apple improve on the imposing and super premium 5.8-inch iPhone X on an 'S' year and at a time where flagship smartphone competition is at an all-time high? Adding a larger size, a new colour finish, improved processor and camera performance,...

iPhone Xs Max review: Your dream phone is here (if you have more money than sense)

 

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

Buy the iPhone Xs Max from Carphone Warehouse

Looking for a big iPhone but don't want a big price? We compare iPhone 7 Plus to the new iPhone XS Max

 

The iPhone XS Max has the biggest screen ever on an Apple phone, but there's a price tag to match. We see how one of the previous larger models, the iPhone 7 Plus, compares.
