iPhone XS vs XS Max vs XR: Comparison & Review By InsideTech

Hi everyone and welcome back to inside tech, where, in this video, we'll be looking at the latest generation of iPhones for tennis, tennis, Max and 10r I'll be covering every single new feature to this year's lineup, including the improved displays, the cameras and, of course, the new, a 12th Bionic chip, supposedly the smartest and most powerful chip in any smartphone I'll, also be explaining the differences between each model, which one I think offers the best value for money. And, of course, whether you should upgrade to one of these new phones. Let's take a look so starting off with the unboxing. Everything here will be familiar, I'll be unboxing, both the Telus Max and a 10 R. At the same time, since we do have exactly the same accessories inside we have our envelope with all the usual paperwork, the sim ejector tool and a set of Apple stickers. Of course, then we have the phone itself, the fireboard wall, adapter, some airports with the lightning connector and finally, a USB, a two lightning charging cable.

So, despite charging a thousand pounds, apple's still isn't, including a fast charger in the box, say only together separately. If you want to fast charge your new iPhone but a further pushed towards Bluetooth earphones, we no longer have the Lightning to 3.5 millimeter headphone adapter included in the box, taking a look first at the iPhone 10 s, I actually have the max model here to look out, since this is essentially the same phone, but at a larger form factor with only a couple of small differences. So during the video all the tech, specs and features do apply to both the 10s and 10s Max and I specifically stated otherwise. And yes, since I am in the UK, you will be seeing the FCC logos on the back of the phones throughout the video, since they're required to still be there by law. An obvious change from last year's that we now have the new gold color option.

But we also have a larger and extortionate is priced 512 gigabyte capacity model, a maxed out 10s max, will cost you more than a 13-inch MacBook Pro externally. What we have is exactly the same design as last year's iPhone 10, just with a few small changes to 10s with identical dimensions and just three grams heavier. This could be explained by the new and improved glass used with the Front's of rear panels, which Apple claims to be the strongest and most durable glass ever used in a smartphone. Returning of the stainless steel band surrounding the phone and in an unusual move from Apple, these no longer all symmetrical speaker, grilles, making way for a couple of additional antenna bands. This change was more likely necessary in order to accommodate the new gigabit class LTE that the tennis model supports, which will allow for faster download speeds.

A more subtle change from the iPhone 10 is that the camera module is now ever so slightly larger, so those hoping to bring their old phone cases to the 10s are out of luck, as can be expected for the latest s. Iteration of the iPhone. Most of the upgrades are internal, and this year, they're led by the introduction of the a12 Bionic chip, the six core CPU and quad-core GPU, combined to deliver up to 15 percent, faster performance and 50%, faster graphics, but with much greater efficiency. They demand far less power and drain less battery life, exploiting the benefits of the processes, new 7 nanometer architecture. The tennis offers an extra 30 minutes of battery life from last year's model, whilst the 10s max gives an extra 1 hour.30 minutes, opening up scrolling and multitasking are noticeably faster. Although a lot of this apparent speed boost can be attributed to the faster iOS 12 software face.

I'd now has an advanced, secure and Clever new algorithms to give faster unlock speeds and during testing there was a noticeable speed increase, but nothing substantial one of the iPhone tens the biggest criticisms was the laggy multitasking and poor memory management and the tennis rectify this issue. By bumping the RAM up to 4 gigabytes, the phone does a much better job of handling multiple background apps they load more quickly from standby and the overall user. Experience is much smoother with the processor and RAM improvements. The tennis and tennis max are the fastest and most responsive iPhones ever made in a first for iPhone. This year's lineup will offer dual sim support.

This will take the form of the existing NATO, SIM, plus a configurable IOM that will become available that activation later next year. In China, however, there will be an additional physical sim instead of the e SIM. Moving on to the displays, the tennis is equipped with a slightly improved iteration of last year's 5.8 inch super retina HD OLED display with the 10s max getting a six and a half inch version. The majority of the specifications remain unchanged, but Apple claimed you'll see improved color on the new screens, thanks to a 60% increase in dynamic range. The HDR displays support HDR, 10 and Dolby Vision, so picture and video content, particularly on the 10s max, look absolutely stunning, and these screens are easily two of the best on the markets.

The phone speakers have also been improved with a wider stereo sound, so watching movies and mobile gaming has never been better. The displays are not only more durable and color rich, but there's also been a slight boost of water-resistant, with the tennis models rated to ip68, allowing for submersion at 2 meters. For up to 30 minutes, a number of changes have been made to the phone's cameras, the most significant of which is the introduction of smart HDR, utilizing new algorithms and faster sensors to enrich your images with greater highlights and shadows. Essentially, this is achieved by blending multiple exposures. If your image into a single photo to provide greater detail, low-light images have also been improved thanks to slightly larger sensors, one of the more noticeable improvements in real-world usage.

Although the iPhone still can't compete with the likes of the Google Pixel 3 portrait modes has also been rebound with advanced Baker and depth control, even after you shoot extended. Dynamic range is now available for video up to 30 frames per second, in both cameras and for the first time stereo recording is possible with the iPhones four mic setup. The FaceTime camera now supports 1080p 60, recording versus 1080p 30 in the iPhone 10, but the most significant improvement here is the cinematic stabilization drastically improving on last year's model, with the two features working together to produce much smoother video. The only other small changes that the 10s max brings back limited landscape mode support for some apps adds. An emphasis should be placed on the word limited there.

This doesn't apply to the home screen and in general, the phone really doesn't take advantage of that huge screen. Real estate and utilized landscape features like, for example, the iPad does so aside from this, the better battery life and obviously the screen size, the tennis antennas max are otherwise identical. Moving on to the iPhone 10 are the most obvious. Visual difference here is that we have a range of vibrant color options to choose from six to be exact. That is worth noting that the max storage size here is capped at 256 gigabytes in terms of size and weight.

The 10r sits right in the middle of the 10s antennas max, but it does have a slightly thicker body. We still have an all screen, notch design with glass front and rear panels. So that means we still get wireless charging, but we do have the iPhone 8 anodized aluminum borders rather than steel. Fortunately, these borders do still house symmetrical speaker, grilles thanks to not having as many antenna bands. The drawback here, though, is that the iPhone 10 R doesn't support gigabit LTE, but it will still support your SIM.

What's important, to note about the front panel is that the bezels are significantly thicker than in the 10s models. This was actually surprisingly noticeable when using the phone and is something that online photos do a good job of disguising. Of course, if you're coming from a pre iPhone 10 phone, then the all screen design is still going to be a huge step up. But it's still important to note here the difference from the 10s and 10s max. Equally important are the differences in water resistance.

The 10r doesn't receive the ip68 upgrade and instead retains the iPhone 10s ip67 rating Ally for submersion apps, only one meter for 30 minutes laying at the rear you can see. We have just a single camera lens which, just like the 10s models, does annoyingly protrude from the glass, so the phone's don't lay flat on a surface. I personally would definitely take a sacrifice to the camera quality to bring back that flush. Camera lens. This is actually the exact same camera as the 10s ?, the telephoto lens, but I'll talk more about what this means later on.

The 10r is packing the latest a 12 Bionic chip used in the 10s, so we won't need to take a performance hit when opting for the less expensive iPhone. The 10 R does, however, keep just the three gigabytes of RAM rather than four, but this is perfectly sufficient for the LCD and the 10 ours. Handling of memory tasks is far superior to the iPhone 10. Of course, the fundamental difference between the 10, R and 10s, and the main reason for that reduced price point is the different display type. Whilst the 10s models use OLED technology, the 10 R has a cheaper LCD, which Apple have affectionately named the liquid Retina display, of course, here moving from owner to LCD, you do lose the high dynamic range display, which means the contrast ratio is much lower and there are no deep blacks.

It also means you can't technically view the HDR photos you take with the 10r on the device itself. An issue we've seen before in older iPhones, but this display type is by no means bad. In fact, the 10r has the most color accurate LCD in the industry. Content still looks incredibly sharp and crisp, and this is easily the best-looking display on any non OLED iPhone. The 10 are still has the same: brightness white, color, display and true tone ability of the 10s but crucially, doesn't have 3d touch.

This is largely replaced with a long press instead, but it is slightly less convenient and there are no pits of view, control options, links or images now going back to that single lens camera, since this is the same faster lens used in the 10s, the 10 hour still has smart HDR for photos. Of course, without the secondary telescopic lens, the 10 art is missing the 2 times optical zoom, but surprisingly, still retains both portrait mode plus the new advanced depth control features brought to the 10s instead of using two lenses to create a sense of depth, the 10r utilizes software to mimic the same effect. The limitations of this mean that embryo world usage portrait mode isn't quite as accurate as the 10s in terms of detection and the lighting modes are slightly more restricted when using the rear camera. However, taking photos and video recording is otherwise completely unchanged. Also, one changes the front-facing FaceTime camera, so all the dynamic range and stabilization improvements are still present.

The battery life upgrades with the 10s models are welcome, but the improvements made here with the 10 are afforded the phone one of its most significant selling points. Not only do we still have wireless charging and fast charging, but we also get an additional one and a half hours against the previous best battery life iPhone. The eight plus giving the 10 are the best battery life of any iPhone to date. Practically speaking, this is one of the most useful and important features altogether. Certainly the aspect that's likely to affect you the most on a day-to-day basis, and it's definitely a great reason to choose the 10r over a 10 s overall.

I definitely say that the iPhone 10 R is the easiest phone to recommend upgrading to for anyone using a pre iPhone 10 phone with the 10s as performance. The same face idea in camera improvements plus the better battery life. The 10 R is certainly the better value for money. Essentially, whatever phone you're upgrading from you'll still be getting the largest and best-looking screen on any iPhone you've ever used, plus you'd still have the option to upgrade even further in the future, by switching to one of the OLED displays- and this is something else that's important to consider. If you upgrade to an OLED display now, it would be very difficult to ever downgrade back to an LCD in the future, which means you'll always be paying for the phones in that higher priced air range, once you've experienced, complete blacks and the fantastic contrast that OLED offers it'll be very disappointing to switch back to LCD.

On the other hand, this is obviously an argument for the 10s. If money isn't as much of an issue, then the tennis and tennis max are obviously better phones. Overall, the improved water resistance, thinner body, 3d touch and, of course, the thinner bezel OLED displays our cool features to have it's just that they aren't really worth the extra two hundred and fifty pounds. If you are going to be watching a lot of movies gaming or do need the added benefit of the telescopic camera lens, then the tennis models might be worthwhile for you, in terms of deciding between a tennis and tennis. Max Apple makes this choice a little easier in that you'd essentially spent a hundred pounds extra to get a larger version of the same phone.

The advantage of the Max is that your content looks even more incredible. The difference that extra 0.7 of an inch makes especially the video content, is quite surprising. Plus you tap the added benefit of the better battery life still practically speaking. The tennis max is not a one-handed device, and the tennis is a much more comfortable device to use reach ability is certainly going to be very important here. Of course, there are other practical factors to consider such as the added size and weight.

The 10 Max is much more difficult to fit inside your pockets using a 10 s max is like holding an iPhone, 7 or 8 plus in your hand. But, of course, now the entire front panel is all screen, whereas the 10 s as a form, fats are more closely resembling a 7 or an 8, but when they display even larger than the plus models, incidentally, for those thinking of upgrading to n8 or an 8 plus, then definitely consider skipping the + and going for the 10 are the extra 50 pounds easily justifies the h2 features better battery and the all screen design adjusting to no longer having a home button. Won't. Take you too long and face ID is a worthwhile successor to touch ID for those already using one of the iPhone 8 models. I'd say it's probably a bit too soon to be upgrading and lights are just skipping.

The new generation phones and waiting to see what next year has to offer. So that's it for this video, but please do let me know in the comments what you think the best iPhone of 2018 is or simply the best phone altogether.
