Apple iPhone XS Max Announced with 6.5-inch Display - Specifications, Features, Price and Release Date

Apple recently announced its three new iPhones for the year 2018 and one of them is the iPhone XS Max. Just like the iPhone XS, the new iPhone XS Max also sticks to last year's iPhone X design language but with a much larger display.

The new iPhone Xs Max sports a massive 6.5-inch Oled display which is the biggest display on any iPhone till date. Due to the size of the display, It comes with a much higher resolution of 2688 x 1242 with a pixel density of 458PPI and an aspect ratio of 19.5:9. Even with the large display, the iPhone Xs Max is almost the same size as the iPhone 8plus or the iPhone 7 plus and this is due to the trimmed down bezels.

Under the hood of the iPhone XS Max is Apple's newest and most powerful chipset which is the A12 bionic. This is the first and currently the only 7nm chipset on the market. It features a 6-core design (2 high performance and 4 power efficient cores) as well as a 4-core GPU which offers 50% performance increase.

Just like on the iPhone XS, the iPhone XS Max features a dual rear 12MP camera setup. The main wide-angle shooter has an all-new sensor with larger pixels – 1.4µm, up from 1.22µm. The aperture remains at f/1.8. The telephoto camera uses a 12MP sensor, f/2.4 lens with 2x optical zoom (and it has OIS). It also comes with 7MP front facing camera as well as a more improved 3D scanner for Face ID.

Both the iPhone XS and iPhones XS Max comes with a stainless steel frame and a scratch resistant front and back glass which Apple claims is the most durable glass on any phone. You can get the iPhone Xs Max in either Space Gray, Silver or gold colour options.
