The iPhone XS and iPhone XS Max are now available to pre-order in the UK, with the handsets set to launch next Friday, the 21st of September.
There are three storage sizes available with each handset: 64GB, 256GB, and 512GB. Prices for the new iPhone XS start at £999 for the 64GB model. The 256GB model of the iPhone XS will set you back £1,149, and the 512GB model costs £1,349. The iPhone XS Max is slightly more expensive, with prices starting at £1,099.
The 64GB model of the XS Max costs £1,099, the 256GB model costs £1,249, and the top 512GB model costs £1,449. These are Apple’s most expensive iPhones to date.
Storage Options and Pricing
Apple has always been known for its premium pricing, but the iPhone XS and XS Max take it to a new level. The 64GB model is the entry-level option, but for those who need more storage, the 256GB and 512GB models provide ample space for apps, photos, videos, and other data. The significant price jump between the storage options reflects the increasing demand for more storage capacity in smartphones.
For example, the 256GB model is ideal for users who frequently download large apps or store high-resolution photos and videos. On the other hand, the 512GB model is perfect for power users who need extensive storage for 4K videos, large game files, and a vast music library. The high price tag of the 512GB model, at £1,449, makes it one of the most expensive smartphones on the market.
Features and Specifications
The iPhone XS and XS Max come with a host of new features and improvements over their predecessors. Both models are powered by Apple’s A12 Bionic chip, which promises faster performance and better energy efficiency. The Super Retina OLED display offers stunning visuals with deep blacks and vibrant colors, making it perfect for media consumption and gaming.
The camera system has also seen significant upgrades. The dual-camera setup on the back includes a 12MP wide-angle lens and a 12MP telephoto lens, both of which support optical image stabilization. This allows for better low-light performance and more detailed photos. The front-facing TrueDepth camera enables Face ID, Apple’s facial recognition technology, which is faster and more secure than ever.
Another notable feature is the improved water and dust resistance, with an IP68 rating. This means the iPhone XS and XS Max can withstand being submerged in up to 2 meters of water for 30 minutes. Additionally, the new iPhones support dual SIM functionality, with one physical SIM card and one eSIM, making it easier for users to switch between carriers or use two phone numbers simultaneously.
It will be interesting to see if people actually spend close to £1,500 on a mobile phone and whether the top model will end up selling well. The high price point may deter some potential buyers, but Apple’s loyal customer base and the allure of cutting-edge technology could drive strong sales.
