iPhone XS/XS Max: top 20+ features

How are you doing, ladies and gentlemen? In this video we talk about the main maximum

features

of the iPhone 10 and 10, so without further ado, let's take a look. Here's the max 512 gigabyte model of the iPhone 10 in gold and we're going to unbox it. right now and I chose the 10s max because it is my favorite phone. I prefer the larger phone and the 10s and 10s max are virtually identical outside of the obvious differences in screen size, so we remove the top, remove the documentation package and there it is. the 10s max I'll just take it out of the box, we'll come back to that here in a second now let's focus on what's inside as far as the accessories go, of course you have headphones in there, your headphones and you have yes a 5 watt charger, yeah, I still can't get over the fact that Apple still includes this cheap charger after all these years, even though the phone supports fast charging, it's ridiculous and to be honest, it looks like a nickel.

Speaking of which, there's no longer the 3.5 millimeter Lightning 2 adapter, they've also removed that on the inside so you have to buy it separately if you want to plug in traditional headphones and there's also a Lightning cable inside the box as well. what .. here. it's the documentation package and in here you'll get a getting started guide which is right here so it just gives you some basic tips on using the phone. There's a useful front and back section if you're a new iPhone user, but I imagine most of you guys and gals won't use that at all.

There is also a SIM eject tool which is convenient and then they have regulatory information here on the front and back and as we always like to joke, the most important thing on the box of course the Apple stickers, now let's talk about the

features

, One of the most important features is the fact that the iPhone 10s and 10's max shared exactly the same internal components, so you get the same processor, the same cameras, you don't have to come to my house anymore if you prefer. the smallest device that's good now arguably the biggest new update for this year's iPhones is the inclusion of this 10s max with its massive 6.5-inch edge-to-edge screen it's a huge screen it's a bigger screen than the iPhone 8 plus in a slightly smaller body, like I said, it's a huge screen, it's great for reading the web, it's great for gaming, it's great for watching movies, it's great for composing photos and videos, and it's really nice when The applications take advantage of it with that 2 up interface.

Honestly, I've never been a big fan of traditional gold, but I have to say that only the iPhone 10s and 10's max look great; In my opinion, it is without a doubt the best color for this generation of iPhone. I mean, there have been others. Gold iPhones in the past, but having them with stainless steel makes all the difference in the world, in fact it looks like something I wouldn't even want to put a case on and honestly I think I'm going to stop using it because I like it. The finish is excellent and even the back of the phone looks great with that updated gold color.

The iPhone 10s and 10's max also offer new live wallpapers. You get these bubble wallpapers. These are not planets. In fact, we gave you a sneak peek at all of them. three of these on one Instagram page so if you haven't subscribed to us on Instagram make sure you do because we always post really cool stuff there right away although the live wallpapers are a bit gimmicky but I think of everyone the ones we have seen. so far these are the best ones talking about going bland Apple says the iPhone 10s and 10's max feature glass that's the most durable on any smartphone, meaning it's less prone to scratches and cracks, but I'll have to take their word for it because I'm certainly not going to drop my phone on video now here's something very exciting the new iPhones have a larger wide angle camera sensor what exactly does that mean well let me explain it using an illustration this is the iPhone 10 12 megapixel sensor this It's the iPhone 10 32% bigger yet 12 megapixels, so what does that mean?

It means that each individual pixel is actually larger and that means the sensor can collect more light naturally, which means less processing on the image and just an overall image. Cleaner picture, so let's explore, let's take a look at the pixels comparing the iPhone 10, last year's flagship iPhone, and the new iPhone 10s, side by side, so you can see from the beginning that you're looking at what's out there. more artifacts on the iPhone 10 side. because less light means more processing and therefore you will have a less precise image, one that is perhaps a little more grainy and you can see it, for example, the word resist, compare the two that actually They are gray in color.

It looks more gray on the iPhone 10 side, it looks almost black on the iPhone 10 side, so a less precise image also has more grain in that image. Now let's scroll to the top and look at the sprayer handle to see if we can zoom in. there and find something that obviously stands out. I think we found it right here, so you can see there, see the line where the handle part meets the body, see how much greener it is on the iPhone 10 compared to the 10. I have that nicer wide angle camera sensor and it will be even better when combined with some of the other improvements to the camera and one of those improvements is with the true tone flash, so I made sure the environment was dark here, maybe a little too dark, and I shot . a photo using the true tone flash on my iPhone 10 and then I did the same with my 10 and let's compare, so after looking at the iPhone 10 with two tone flash and then comparing it to the iPhone 10, the 10 looks more natural . and here's another improvement that went unnoticed: you now have 1080p 60 frames per second shooting capability with the front true depth camera, you now need to have your camera set to 1080p 60 frames per second in the Settings app now normally when you enter the Settings app and change the settings you're thinking about taking into account the rear cameras, you're not really thinking about that front camera, but the interesting thing about the iPhone 10s is that while you have that 1080p HD capability on the rear camera, if you switch to the front camera now, that same 1080p 60 frames per second profile as you can see applies to the true depth front camera now also Smart HDR, in my opinion this is the most interesting feature of the camera. the iPhone 10s now look at this particular setup here I have a very bright object, the light there and I also have a very dark object, the home speaker, and when I expose any of them, I turn off the lights or lose important shadow detail, this is the iPhone 10, now only the iPhone 10s smart HDR uses a four frame buffer and a secondary internal frame with different exposure levels and the best parts of each frame are combined to create a composite photo and the crazy thing is that this is all done on the It works without the user's knowledge, so here are photos taken with the iPhone 10.

You saw how the lights faded into the shadows. Details are missing. Now here on iPhone 10, Intelligent HDR creates a much better image that accentuates both shadow and highlight details. Another new feature exclusive to the iPhone 10 is the ability to adjust the depth of field in post, so if you take a photo in portrait mode and tap Edit when you view the photo, you get this new little slider right here that lets you do that on the progress. adjust the depth of field of that photo and you'll actually see it change there on the screen. This certainly isn't the first app to do this, but having that natively built into iOS is great now that the iPhone has stereo speakers, but above.

Until now you couldn't record stereo video directly from your iPhone and then play it back using those stereo speakers, but now you can. It's a little difficult to demonstrate in this video, but trust me, it works, the stereo separation is actually pretty good, the iPhone 10 and 10 have four built-in microphones to help with stereo capture. Another new feature is extended dynamic range, which you can find by going to the camera app and selecting 30 frames per second for 720p, 1080p, or 4k. You'll see this little option here auto low light fps. What this does is automatically reduce the frame rate from 30 frames per second to 24 frames per second when you encounter low light during video recording.

It does this dynamically on the fly, allowing for better low-light videos thanks to an advanced Secure Enclave and better algorithms. The iPhone 10s has advanced Face ID and that means Face ID unlocks faster. Notice the 10s max on the left unlocked before the 10, 7 nanometers, and 12 bionic on the iPhone 10. A major new advancement for Apple's chip design, but you'll have to look beyond pure speed because as soon as At speed, although faster than the 11, that's not what really stands out, for example, here's a geek bench comparison. The left side is the iPhone 10s max. On the right side, the iPhone 10 performs better with the 10s max, no doubt, however, it doesn't feature the kind of improvements we've seen in the past from Apple hardware.

What you'll want to focus on here is pretty much everything else, graphics performance. neural engine with eight cores the improvement is P better energy efficiency Apple's chip design is already world class, they showed that they can be the fastest, so what they did this time was improve other areas such as photography and videography, think about it, that neural engine combined with image signal processor upgrades enables things like smart HDR, which changes the way you take photos, changes the way you compose photos for the better and that's just the tip of the iceberg, it's good to remember it's not always about speed as far as I can remember. a time when we were grateful to have two gigabytes of RAM in an iPad, but now we have four gigabytes of RAM in an iPhone, that's crazy, but not only that you now have the option to configure a ridiculous amount of storage, yeah , 512 gigabytes of internal storage. storage on the iPhone 10 and 10 s max and there is improved water and dust resistance, the iPhone 10s and 10's max are now IP68 certified, which means submerging it in up to two meters of water for up to 30 minutes, you probably still shouldn't to do that. but an occasional accident, you know, a dip in the sink, accidentally dropping your phone in the toilet probably won't mean the end of the device, this time is even better and if you are ever in a very dusty environment, it is also better in keeping the dust out also now this feature has not been released yet, it should be available in a later iOS update, but there is now an ECM inside the iPhone 10 and 10s along with the standard SIM card, meaning you can have up to two lines on the same phone, which is something I've been waiting for a long time, which means that, let's say you have a business phone and a home phone, now you can combine them on the same device and the 10s snail supports gigabit class LTE , which means operator aggregation.

For a wider pipeline and then being able to stack multiple lanes of traffic simultaneously, that 4x4 MIMO also supports Band 71, which is great for rural T-Mobile users. Now, obviously, the speed test I'm showing you here isn't really that impressive. not at all, but again it will depend on your provider where you are, as you can imagine there are a lot of variables involved with cellular connectivity. Now Apple is touting faster wireless charging, but this doesn't appear to be any new technology upgrade, not quite. the result of a tighter coil design inside the phone allowing better contact with the charger and this was confirmed by the daring John Gruber fireballs.

Hey, I'll take any improvement I can get and last but not least better battery life, the iPhone 10s gets an extra 30 minutes of battery life compared to the iPhone 10 and the iPhone 10s max gets 1.5 additional hours of battery life compared to the iPhone 10, so ladies and gentlemen, we have taken a look at the main features of the iPhone 10s max and 10, what are they? your favorites let me know below in the comments section and like if you appreciate this video.
