Apple iPhone XS Max (page 2 of 5)

I am moving from a Samsung S8+ and I’m not really happy with this phone. I bought it online and I should have walked into the store to get a feel of which one I liked the most. This phone is too big. It’s really wide.

Issues:

1) The speakers sound tinny. I play Spotify through my Samsung S8+ and it sounds great. I play it through my new iPhone XS Max and it sounds really tinny and awful. I will have to hotspot my old phone when I’m not in the house.

2) Apple doesn’t give as many free wallpapers as Samsung, who has a huge range of beautiful...Read more

I got my iPhone XS Max about a year ago. In less than two weeks I noticed a crack in the back camera lens and I thought ‘no way’ because I hadn’t actually dropped the phone and I had it in a case since day 1... I later find out this is a common issue - the glass covering the camera is very sensitive.

Other than that, things have been running smoothly since then, until recently. Now, on rare occasions, when I lock the phone and go back to it quickly to unlock, it will simply not turn back on. The screen will stay black for more than a minute or...Read more

I upgraded my phone from iPhone 7 Plus 32gb to the XS Max 64gb July 2022.

So far it has been okay, the better life is much better and lasts all day/night even though I am on social media or on the internet a lot. My main reason for the upgrade was a better camera and I can honestly this camera is way better! Photos are much sharper, colors are more vibrant and it takes great photos at night too. My photos don’t look all noisy with night photos and the colors are true to what I can physically see.

Sometimes apps randomly close or the touch ...Read more

After approximately 9 months, no sign of any noticeable degradation or issues. I have a standard Apple case and the phone has had some minor drops. I treat my phone as a tool and don't go out of my may baby it.

Battery life compared to previous apple models is at least 50% better, because I game on two phones at once, I find the old iphone 6S (it has a new battery) generally reaches 10% battery life, while the Max still has 50% or more. This despite the fact I am running the wifi-hotspot on the Max.

Apart from lack of headphone socket, it ...Read more

First of all, this phone is by far the most beautiful in my personal opinion. I was set on the XR in terms of functionality & camera qualities, however in store, I caught a glimpse of the store assistants XS Max as he got it out of his own pocket to show me, and I fell in love. The subtle gold colour for me was by far more pleasing to the eye than the more bold colours of the XR. So coming from the rose gold 6s, this was what initially took me in with this phone. Then the assistant explained to me other benefits, such as the sturdier materials ...Read more

Researching my new iPhone, I used the Apple website! So easy to navigate and then make a decision. After reviewing the facts of each phone, I made the decision to purchase a XS Max! Yes, I chose the larger phone, based on storage, camera quality, a 'one stop shop device' for home and away! Reduced my stress immediately, chose the larger storage, now free to take as many photos at home and trips overseas. Apps for meditation, apps for paying bills, apps for producing state of the art photos. New puppy shot enabled me to fade the background, ge...Read more

What a great update to an old favorite...
The new iPhone XS Max with the smart adaptive screen, incredible graphics and speed of system. This phone feels fantastic to hold light weight and solid construction with a full viewing screen. The camera is amazing and a massive improvement on the old cameras I have owned every iPhone since the first model and this is by far the most advanced yet.
I use the phone for business and run multiple business apps such as excel and word the phone handles the large work load without breaking a sweat. Apps run s...Read more
