Was expecting it to be less bulky and heavy..

The camera quality has improved from the previous iPhone 7 that I was using but its night mode is still not great. The quality of the screen needs improvement as one drop is all it takes to leave cracks on the back. Battery life is significantly worse a year later so have your portable charger ready wherever you go. Apple needs to look at its price points to keep their product competitive.

The Ideal Combination of Technology and Style - Just a bit hard to get used to

published

The iPhone XS 256GB is an ideal choice if you're an iPhone user; with all of the elements and features that you know and love. The new feature of Face ID takes a little getting used to as does the complete lack of a control button. It's also worth noting that the control panel you used to have to swipe up for, you now have to swipe down for.

Really great

It is a great product and the quality is the best. I am so happy with the camera and taking photos is just another level. Easy to work with and excellent for transferring from android to iOS.

Good most of the time

Hubby and I both have this phone. I have no issues with mine and have a lot more apps than he does and a lot more photos and videos on mine. The phone that hubby has freezes every few days which frustrates him no end.

Very expensive phone, so far so good

published

Upgraded from iphone 6. The camera is Ok. But I guess the iphone 11 camera now is better. Apple cameras still have long way to go to compete with Huawai and some other brands. The battery is better than my iphone 6. I am a person who can't live without smartphones . Thus I choose iphone for the stability of system and easiness to use. But in this instance, I would recommend buying iphone 11 directly.

Excellent features but could be better with Battery life

published

I recently upgraded from a iPhone 6s plus. It's camera is definitely a big upgrade compared to The older models. It is really great for taking photos. However the battery life gets drained towards the early evening after a days use. Would be better if it had a stronger battery.

If you love iPhones then this is the perfect time to upgrade.

published

I have always used the iPhone camera and I find it to be absolutely amazing.
What I love about this iPhone is that it's thinner and it feels amazing to hold.
I use my iPhone for emails, phone calls, messages and social media. It's like having a laptop in your hand .
Updates are quick and apps rub smoothly.

I love my iPhone !

published

I love my iPhone - always have. I have upgraded from 5 to 6 to 7+ to my new xs.
It has taken a bit to get used to with no home button but at least the home button doesn’t wear out.
I’m still playing with all the functions but I like the fact I have a bigger screen but a smaller phone.

Everything is good, except for occasional lagging issues

published

The camera quality has proven to be good! Love the portrait mode of the camera function - easily create the bokeh / dslr effect. The cool thing is that you can edit the aperture for each photo after you have taken the photo too!

Night mode for photos are okay - as in the photos are not unclear, the details can be seen (but not in details).

I was considering whether to purchase Xr or Xs but because of the display - I chose Xs! No regrets, totally loving the clarity of Xs’ display!

There is some lagging on the phone that comes randomly. There is no way to solve this other than waiting for the lagging to end or restarting.

Cool new phone

published

I updated from a 6. The xs is much bigger and heavier than my old 6 and is missing the screen home button. Other than that the only differences are face recognition and wireless charging which I have found don’t always work correctly. There is a dual camera which delivers great snaps. Overall the phone is a quality piece. Definitely recommend

Loving the camera!

published

I purchased the iphone XS (256GB) from the apple store in September 2018. I love the upgraded camera and I really like taking photos, particularly in portrait mode. The display is bright and very clear. The battery life is great and all the apps work really well. I believe its also waterproof and the screen is almost unbreakable! I think it's worth it for the high price!
