When you held the iPhone X, released just a year ago, numerous questions might have flooded your mind at the moment Apple announced the trio: iPhone Xr, iPhone Xs, and iPhone Xs Max. Apple has made it clear during the event that there are distinct differences between the iPhone X and the 2018 lineup, promising significantly enhanced processing speeds and modern features. However, to provide a comprehensive overview of these smartphones, in this article, Mytour will dissect the strengths and weaknesses of the three hottest iPhones on the market today.
Evaluating the Downsides of iPhone Xr, iPhone Xs, and iPhone Xs Max
There's an old saying that to truly understand someone's strengths, you must first identify their weaknesses. Unlike other leading experts, I'll delve into the shortcomings of the iPhone Xr, iPhone Xs, and iPhone Xs Max first:
+ Lack of Headphone Jack
Apple's failure to include a headphone adapter in the box has been a source of inconvenience for users. Now, to listen to music or watch movies on the new trio of iPhones, users have two options: use Bluetooth headphones or purchase a separate adapter for €7.70. Although this price is not high, it will undoubtedly cause some inconvenience for users.
+ Lackluster Accessories
Despite the hefty price tags reaching thousands of USD, Apple remains stingy by only providing a 5W charger in the box, despite all three iPhones supporting fast charging technology. Users still have to begrudgingly use the 5W brick supplied by Apple.
Previous rumors suggested that the new iPhones would come with an 18W charger. With this 5W charger instead, many users are disappointed considering the amount they've paid.
+ Stagnant Bunny Ear Design
A year ago, Apple introduced the 'notch' design with the iPhone X, and since then, numerous other manufacturers have adopted it. However, many users dislike this design, and even some smartphone manufacturers are seeking solutions to minimize or eliminate the notch altogether.
+ Excessive Pricing of iPhone Xs Max Puts Users in a Bind
Last year, Apple's iPhone X set a new standard with a price tag of €855.03, and this year, the iPhone XS Max surpasses that benchmark.
The iPhone XS Max starts at €940.53. This price tag is truly no less than that of a base-level MacBook Pro, but in exchange, the iPhone XS Max is a device with powerful hardware and long-term software support, so you won't need to upgrade your smartphone every year.
Evaluating the Advantages of the iPhone Xr, iPhone Xs, and iPhone Xs Max Trio
After overlooking the drawbacks of the 2018 iPhone trio, let's focus on the outstanding advantages of these premium smartphones, and draw more accurate conclusions.
Disregarding the shortcomings of the phone iPhone Xr, iPhone Xs, and iPhone Xs Max. Here, we will look at the superior advantages of these high-end smartphones, and draw more sensible opinions for ourselves.
+ Wide Range of Color Options for iPhone Xr
When it comes to providing color options for the iPhone, Apple has been quite conservative. However, the company has made changes with its latest iPhone generation.
The iPhone XR is unveiled with six eye-catching colors: black, white, yellow, coral, blue, and red. As for the iPhone XS and XS Max duo, in addition to the traditional black and white colors, Apple introduces new options this year including space gray, silver, and gold.
+ Improved Storage Capacity
This year, Apple has been generous in increasing the internal storage capacities for the new generation of iPhones. Both the iPhone XS and XS Max come with three storage options: 64GB, 256GB, and 512GB. Meanwhile, the iPhone XR offers three memory options: 64GB, 128GB, and 256GB.
Despite having ample storage space, there are still many users who want Apple to provide external memory card slots.
+ Enhanced Battery Life for Better Usage Quality
If you're looking for an impressive battery life in an iPhone, consider one of the three recently launched models. Thanks to hardware and software optimizations, the iPhone XS, XS Max, and XR all boast significantly better battery life compared to their predecessors.
Apple states that the iPhone XS has a battery life that's 30 minutes longer than the iPhone X. Meanwhile, the trio of iPhone XS Max and iPhone XR provides up to 1.5 hours of extra battery life.
+ Dual SIM Dual Standby Support
One of the major advantages of the iPhone XS and XS Max over previous generations is the support for dual SIM capability. Instead of a hybrid SIM slot, the iPhone XS and XS Max feature a traditional SIM slot and an eSIM.
In the Chinese market variant, there will be two traditional SIM slots, allowing users to easily utilize two SIM cards on a single iPhone without needing an additional phone.
+ Dual Screen Mode on iPhone Xs Max
The iPhone XS Max is Apple's largest smartphone ever released. This allows for a larger display area and conditions for Apple to introduce a very interesting feature to this new iPhone.
After being integrated into the iPad and receiving positive feedback from users, Apple has also brought split-screen mode (allowing users to use 2 apps simultaneously) to the iPhone XS Max. This is the first time Apple has introduced split-screen mode on the iPhone, but it's a feature that has been available on most Android smartphones.
=> Conclusion: With the evaluations above, you will certainly have different opinions. So what is your favorite feature on these 2018 Apple iPhones!
