What's up everyone, my name is Ben and welcome to my full review of the Apple
iPhone Xs Max.
This is the latest and greatest in the world of iPhone and
today I'll be doing my full review I won't be going over the specs, the camera
megapixels and all the details that don't really matter, but I'll be dividing
this review into two sections, the first will be the pros of the phone, the things
that I really liked enjoyed and that I will miss after I go from this phone to
some other phone and also the second part will be about the cons, stuff that
didn't really impress me or that I didn't like and that I wouldn't mind to
be improved in the next version of this phone, so sit back relax and enjoy the
video.
Right at the top of the pros list my favorite thing about the Xs Max is the
giant display, now I'm coming from the iPhone 7 Plus and the display on that
thing is good but compared to the display on
the Xs max it's a big big difference.
First off, the size, the size of the display is absolutely incredible, you can
see so much on your display and the colors are absolutely brilliant, I can
tell a big difference coming from the 7 Plus to the Xs
Max, the colors are much more vibrant the screen gets brighter, the whole
experience is much better.
We all know that when you buy an Apple product you
will be familiar with the excellent design and there's exactly that on the
iPhone Xs Max, the design of the Xs max is absolutely incredible, as soon as
you pick this phone up you will notice the metal or the aluminum bezels the
shiny bezels, the glass back and the exceptional color on the back, so this
new gold color is, well on the back it's actually not gold.
As you see from the clips it's more of a very very like
yellowish white, but on the bezel the bezels are very very shiny and they're
painted in gold, of course, it's not really gold it's just
the color, but the phone looks extremely extremely premium and you just like
holding this phone in the hand as you do with any other Apple product.
My biggest concern before getting this phone coming
from the iPhone 7 plus is the size or was the size.
Coming from the 7 plus I was extremely worried that the Xs Max
or I thought that the Xs max is even bigger than these 7 plus and I already
had some issues with the 7 plus, because it's so big that I couldn't reach the
top of the display at times or, well the phone is just quite big, so
initially I wanted to go with the iPhone Xs, but luckily I went with the Xs max and
I'm not regretting my decision, the Xs max is exactly the same size and dimensions as
the iPhone 7 plus or the iPhone 8 plus, but you will get a bigger
display, essentially there are no bezels on the top or bottom, that are on the 7
and 8 plus and essentially you're getting the exact same dimensions of the
phone, but with a much bigger display and that's something that I really like and
appreciate.
Another Pro that I wasn't expecting is the or are the incredible
speakers the Xs max has stereo speakers with a speaker built into the
earpiece and another speaker on the bottom of the phone and not only that
the speakers are much much louder.
Coming from the iPhone 7 Plus, the speakers on
the Xs Max are about I would say 50 to 60 percent louder at top volume and
what I really liked, compared to some other phones, usually when you have a
phone and you adjust the volume to the maximum setting, you will notice a little
bit of distortion the sound the sound will become distorted, a bit crackly,
the bass and the quality of the sound won't be as good but with the Xs max
that was not the case.
The sound coming from the speaker's even at maximum volume was absolutely
incredible, no distortion, no sound quality issues, no loss in quality, still
absolutely perfect and I give huge props to Apple for doing that, another Pro of
the Xs Max, in my opinion, is the operating system, here we'll go into the
debate of Android versus iOS, no we won't be doing that, I'll just be giving you
some of my reasons on why I really like iOS, why I prefer iOS and why I'm just
really pleased, with the operating system on the iPhone Xs max, first off the
simplicity and organization of the whole operating system.
At any moment in time I'm able to pull up the phone, go into
settings and immediately find what I'm looking for, with Android phones
there that's simply not the case, it takes me a lot longer there are so many
features and things which is not necessarily a bad thing, but the only bad
thing is in my opinion the organization of them, versus here on the Xs max on
iOS 12, everything is really well organized you can just use either
spotlight or you can go into settings and go to one of the menus and you will
find, whatever you're looking for in about 30 seconds or less even if it's
extremely complicated, another thing that I wanted to mention is the fact that
with other phones, I'm not going to name any names, but with other phones so
Android phones I spend about 45 minutes setting that phone up, so setting up all
the apps setting up the settings and everything else on the Xs max from
basically zero to fully set up, it took me about 10 to 15 minutes and I set
this phone up as new, so I didn't copy anything from my backup or anything like
that I just signed in into my Apple account just like with my Google account,
I downloaded the apps say, set up the settings and that was it
it was that simple versus Android, that it takes me about three times longer and
that's one of the reasons why I'm a big fan of iOS, no matter how customizable it
is in my opinion, it is the best operating system out there, at the moment.
Another thing that really surprised me is the excellent battery life on the Xs
max, sure I was expecting battery life on this one to be quite good, but I heard
some bad news regarding the display on the Xs max being really well
power-hungry, so that the battery apparently was not
as good, but I didn't experience that, in my opinion the battery in the Xs max
is super awesome, it will last you easily throughout the day I'm a big and heavy
user of social media and everything along those lines and constantly on the
phone and at the end of the day, I still had 25% of battery life left I also
think that this phone charges a bit quicker than my 7 plus, using the
same charger, I don't know if that's possible but what I'm saying is that
this phone or maybe just iOS 12 is extremely well optimized, that could also
be due to the new A12 chip, that is more power efficient, the battery extremely
good extremely, happy with it and the battery life, that you get out of this
phone is absolutely superb.
Coming to the end of the pros list, is the camera the
camera on this phone the Xs max is of course as Apple says the best camera on any iPhone
to date, but coming from the 7 plus and already being
used to iPhone cameras, I'm not that impressed, don't get me wrong the camera
on the Xs max is really really good, it will always get you pictures that you
can instantly post to Instagram, Facebook or anywhere you would like, but you won't
get that much of an improvement from last year's model again that is not a
bad thing I'm just saying that maybe I expected a little bit more, the pictures
coming out of this phone or out of the camera on this phone are absolutely
stunning, they give you that natural feel that and basically
anyone who will look at these photos they'll say that they look incredible
maybe I will just expect a little bit too much.
Starting with some of the things I do not like about the iPhone
Xs max, first off the price point, in my opinion this phone is overpriced Apple
is really pushing those prices and even with the iPhone X, the price was already
too high and with the Xs max, it's even more dramatic, this is the iPhone Xs
max in 256 gigabyte variant or model here in Europe, this phone retails for
1500€ that is 1500 euros or $1700.
First off that's absolutely crazy it's overpriced, there are other phones that I
would pick over this if I wasn't so attached to Apple and caught up in
their ecosystem, but there's another problem that really bugs me, if you go to
the US you will pay 200 bucks less for the exact same model and that is
something I do not understand.
Here in Europe this phone cost one thousand and seven hundred dollars in
the US it costs one thousand and five hundred or even less in some cases, I do
not understand the price difference I'm a bit confused by that, so let's just
leave it at that, but then again you this phone compares directly to the note 9
and the Huawei mate 20 Pro, those phones in the same gig variant cost around just
one thousand dollars or one thousand euros and once again I do not understand
why this phone has to be 50% more expensive than those two, why, something
that I don't understand and basically this phone, in my opinion, is overpriced.
Glass back this phone looks absolutely incredible, but the glass on the back is
a bit of a downside for me, for some reason I still don't trust Apple even if
they say this is the most durable glass they have ever put
an iPhone, if this falls done for from I don't know a meter or two it will most
likely crack, also this phone is incredibly slippery if you're laying
down in bed at night using it, this one is quite big so there's a big chance
that will just slip out of your hand, therefore you will have to use a case if
you want to keep this phone, 1500 euro phone protected the last thing on the
list is the fact that Apple does not include a fast charger in the box, when
you buy this phone, don't get me wrong this phone does support
wireless and also fast charging, but because you don't get the fast charger
you are essentially not getting that feature, if you want it you have to pay
an additional $100 for the cable and fast charger and with a price point of
1500 euros that's absolutely crazy and quite I don't I don't even know what
word to say, that's a bad move from Apple and I'm very disappointed by that fact,
but other than that I give this phone an excellent rating, it gives you everything
you need, you want, it will check all the boxes, except maybe the affordable price
point one but other than that, this was my full review of the iPhone Xs max in 256 gigabyte
variant in the gold color.
Thank you so much for watching, hopefully, you enjoyed this video,
if you did drop me like and I'll see you
all next time.
