iPhone XS and XS Max review
Вставка
- Опубліковано 17 вер 2018
- Apple's new iPhone XS and XS Max are familiar territory with two key updates: a faster processor and an upgraded camera. Oh, and the XS Max has the largest screen ever found on an iPhone. But is that enough to justify the very high cost of the best iPhones you can buy?
Correction: Nilay misspoke! The iPhone XS Max has a 6.5-inch display, not 6.8. The XS has a 5.8, and the XR has a 6.1.

There is something known as EDITING right? Why not use it instead of making mistakes across most of your videos.

WHY APPLE WINS AND REVIEWERS LOSE:
iPhone XS & XS Max AREN'T for people who *already* use an 'iPhone X'. They are, as is the case with every new iPhone, aimed at people coming from OLDER iPhones (such as 7, 6s or even 5s/5).
The idea that Apple makes iPhones ONLY for those who bought *last year's* iPhone is INSANE. You don't buy an iPhone *every year* (!) unless you are a famous UA-camr or are filthy rich.
MOST people that buy one use their iPhone for AT LEAST 2-3 years (some for '5' years, even) before upgrading. Unlike Android flagships, iPhones are traditionally extremely future-proof: the '5S', which released all the way back in *2013*, is STILL getting software updates & running smooth as butter in '2018'.
So.. The industry-first '7 nm processor', the '8-core ML neural engine', the crazy-powerful GPU & ALL the other super hardware upgrades that might seem 'overkill' *today* are actually there, IRONICALLY enough, so 'people WON'T need to buy a new iPhone for the next few years'..
Reviewers always fail to take all that into account & end up judging the latest iPhone *purely* in relation to how it stacks up against its immediate predecessor: So they simply quote the '15%' jump in this and '30%' boost in that. They don't see the '300%' jump that someone coming from a 5S or 6 would experience. Shallow AH.
While long-time customers, aka the MAJORITY of iPhone buyers, understand Apple's long-term approach & ignore these reviews.
Which is *precisely* why iPhone sales are NEVER affected by reviews, however negative or even positive they might be. Cuz for the most part, they're 'unrelatable'.
That is exactly what is happening every year. Most of the sales come from people who upgrade their phone after 3-5 years. And that has nothing to do with great software support, as many apple fans always say, because the normal buyers, people who don't watch tech videos, don't give a damn about them. They want their phone to work like the day they bought it, and often even prevent updates because the last one e.g. broke their bluetooth until a hotfix arrived. Apple is good at making phones that last a long time, and even better at making people believe they have to pay 1000+ dollars for it.
Exactly, I’m upgrading from a 6s so it’s a big change
Yeah I’ve pre order a iPhone xs max and I’m upgrading from a 6 plus
Abdul Basit Shaikh true that
Yeah ur right. plus its just an "s" upgrade. Reviews expect a companies like apple to come out with a completely different phone in terms of performance and design every year.
Just went from an Android to iPhone XS Max I honestly love how fast everything is. Wow have I been missing out
I’m going to buy this phone next week upgrading from the Samsung note 5 hahahaha
@@Justrvbi you're not gonna regret it. Im still using mine and it was like the first time I bought it. Just handle it with care. (installing heavy games...)
@@snoopcat7866 heavy games won't work on it ?
@@staywithme2491 its sarcasm bro. Its apple of course you can install heavy games. Their OS is smooth and optimize enough. Im currently playing BDM at max graphics.
“That’s 2 swipes for one thing” first world problems. What ever will we do
I don't wanna live anymore
I prefer to have this type of problems instead of starving.
It's such an expensive phone from a trillion dollar company. You'd expect them to not have these little annoyances. It's called capitalism, get used to it.
@@PrabhablyAGoodUA-camr exactly
😆
You truly know that Apple needs to step up their game next year when even The Verge and EverythingApplePro is underwhelmed with these new phones.
Adeeyn Deeyb it’s an s upgrade, we haven’t had one of those since 2015, so of course it’s going to seem slightly underwhelming
@@Thomashorsman for the outrageous price it should be overwhelming, not underwhelming....
Doesn't matter what they do rn.
We don't need Apple in our future.
@@Thomashorsman Yeah, no.
4s: Siri, Dual core CPU (vs single core in iPhone 4)
5s: 1st 64bit CPU, Touch ID
6s: 3D touch, 12MP + 5MP cameras (vs 8MP + 1.2MP), better aluminum body.
Every S model introduced something that made an upgrade justifiable.
Let's be real. This year's iPhones are underwhelming even for "s upgrade" standards.
RR Sharizam may not need them, but they will definitely be in our future

Still the most beautiful phone even after iphone 11 come out
Terrence Nanai the xs looks more elegant than the tuff looking 11 Pro
Even to this day
iPhone X series was the best looking phones for a minute but the 12 series is the best looking phone in general bro they look so good
what is the game he is playing that snow skating any one knows ? i wana play on my iphone 7 :(
Alto’s Odyssey
It is free on Android but paid on Apple’s App Store
Tim doesn't know currency conversion properly. Buying an iPhone anywhere other than the US is ridiculously expensive.
H. Kashyap These are premium phones, they have cheaper ones available.
Exactly!
They’re normal here in Germany
Its not about currency conversion, but about sales tax. Depending on where you're from, sales tax might already be included in your price when you see it. Most states in the US (and therefore their retailers) don't have to include sales tax when they advertise their prizes for products.
TL:DR When you buy an iPhone in a store in the US, you pay way more then the advertised 999$ because of taxes.
@@noobz4hire290 the point missed your head very badly.
So iphone xs max should be read "iphone 10 s ma 10" right??
Martian Rajpal Yadav ya
Actually you're wrong. it's iPhone XS Max, which should be read as "iPhone 10s 1000 a 10". ;)

Great review. All substance, sleek and understated aesthetic presentation. Thanks
*THERE WERE NO ADS IN UR VIDEO :/*

This video was an ad 🙄
What you watch here is a voluntary ads for Apple.
In the beginning only, infinity war Hindi trailer popped up- Thor in starlord's ship. Banda ye nhi, Banda Tu hai😁
No i got two ads on mine
Why am I watching this even tho I can't afford these phones? 🤔
Same
My also same
Even if you could you wouldn't buy these phones
Same except that I just upgraded from a 7 Plus to a X last week.
You have reasons, and so am I.
Probably because it’s _Mordern_ _Technology_ ?
I pre-ordered, thanks for the reasonable review! Verge keep it up buddy!
In India it costs 1500$ for XS base variant and 1900$ for 512GB
It's not luxury. It's madness.
Holy hell...it’s bad enough I spent $1500 for the max but I could never imagine spending 2 grand on a phone....
4 months later. Yes I’d like to buy your iPhone 12 XlRHD for $2299 please.
Twisted Melody ur taxes are Madness.
It's bcoz of taxation structure
Not Apple‘s fault
In turkey its %180 of US price but xs is 1000$ now in turkey i will buy it
They've completely lost their minds with the price this time too.
.
.
.
.

But people will buy it nevertheless.
Devansh Kamdar So if people will still buy it... did Apple really lose it’s mind?
Ik I did
I did😂
As Samsung lost their minds as well? The $1000+ smartphone isnt going away.
Exactly, apple knows what they're doing. The iPhone xr will sell like hot cakes.....and most of the iPhone users won't even know about the fact that it can't play full HD videos. The iPhone tennis match is going to be a status phone for teenagers.
I would really love to marry an iPhone user cause they seem to be happy with absolutely nothing
Lmfao i just got back from seeing my lawyer, but that comment made my morning!
Oof
So you're saying you're a zero?
Lmao
@@brunomoreira-jones6043 unless you're heavy into mobile gaming that amazing processor isn't affecting your experience with the phone at all.
One of the best reviews. Very structured and just the adequate amount of details for non-tech people. And quite unbiased.
I’ve watched so many new iPhone videos and you explain it the best. Love it thanks for the great info
gotta give you creds, the quality of your reviews is 💯
I love your reviews. Straight to the point
Linkin park 😍😍😍😍😍😍🤟🤟🤟🤟🤟🤟
Best, thorough and detailed review on youtube, hands down
Nilay is a great reviewer and delivered one of the least biased mainstream iPhone reviews I’ve ever seen. 👍🏼 I like that he gives credit where it’s due and doesn’t bash Android or Apple unnecessarily.
The Memoji host and fish tank water resistance demonstration were pretty damn creative too, so props to the technical team for the slick edits!
An unbiased Verge review of an apple product. Officially shocked.
DB Jayawardena even EverythingApplePro was admittedly more underwhelmed. THAT is the real shocker
They needed to win back some cred with people after that horrible misguided computer building tutorial
DB Jayawardena Apple running out of ideas they just make screen bigger
DB Jayawardena "unbiased" it's clear that he doesn't like it
Alessandro Cornacchia yes as a result of an unbiased review, someone can dislike it. Just because he dislikes the product doesn’t make the review biased.

I'm still wondering why there's no iPhone 9?
JhoSa VLOGS 9 is in the price lmfao
Joshua Jones loooool
There’s no 9 cuz it got eaten. 7, 8 9 lol
10 came after 8 because apple turned 10 years at that time so they named it 10

Besides battery, performance, speaker quality, and cameras?
It would br an upgrade from my Galaxy 8 that's for sure

15% better performance 5% better battery 10% louder speaker something percent better something and nothing actually feels improved

That blurry 1080p though...
2011 is calling and wants their HD video back.
I was thinking the same thing lol

That could be because of UA-cam video compression. Though it looked too bad.

Thanks for the honest review bro!! I really appreciate the unbiased review! Keep doing an awesome job!
Candid review. Talked specs and showed/compared specs. Great video.
I think Apple should slow down on the release of new phones, last year no one got to enjoy the 8 because they released the x and now this.
Adriana Busani but if you got the 8 and then the X you’re just stupid.
Finally, one time for The Verge to put honest review of iPhone, no matter what. I am looking forward for your next honest review, amazingly done

One of the best review I watched in my whole life
Why not iPhone XS And iPhone XL? Missed a Nice name play there
They probably didn't want to use the same name as the Pixel..
Halla It would probably have to be XSL so people know it’s the newer version of the iPhone X.
Halla I was thinking the same thing.
I had thought after the iPhone 5c 5s came out that it would be so fun for the 6 to have 6s (success) and 6c (succeed) they never did the c...rude
Because XS would imply it to be 'Extra Small' and 'Extra Large'. The XS is supposed to be a 'better' version of the X, not a smaller version

gNightrow he meant the screen is bigger filling the whole front of the phone but the actual size is the same as old S models.
;))
Thank you so much for comparing the camera to a Full Frame DSLR. I am constantly arguing with people that you can be a "photographer" with just a phone, which, yes they take good photos, but you did good to point out the differences between professional equipment and mobile devices. I really appreciate that because I still don't agree that you can be a photographer without understanding the way that professional equipment works. Also, I am coming from an iPhone 8 and I am very glad that you covered the focusing process of the new camera, as I have ALWAYS complained and had issues with it before with previous models. I have issues reaching the top of the screen already, with just the 8, so I definitely think the Max is out of question for me, if you had trouble with it as well. Great review.
EPIC review
Love it
At 1:06, it's not 6.8" 10S Max but rather 6.5"
Good to see a non-biased non-applefanboy review ,keep it that way Verge!

Good job on the presentation
6:36 - what is this setup for? Is the phone taking the picture, or is the phone used as a larger display for the Canon camera?
Iphone Xs plus has 6.5inch display, not a 6.8 inch.
I love how we’ve gotten to a point where we can complain about the tiniest inconvenience. “I have to swipe twice for one thing?!” Like dude, when we were kids we had to wait half an hour for a picture to show up on our desktops.
i scoffed at that too like seriously? We didn't even have cell phones when i grew up. i remember the first one i saw, huge brick thing, but men was i amazed because rotary was the standard back in the 90s.
