Apple iPhone XS, 64 GB, gold (Renewed)

Product Information

That's not to say it isn't impressive, and useful, new hardware in the iPhone XS, but most of the benefits won't be instantly discernible to the average user. The iPhone XS is a great leap forward from the iPhone 8 and X in LTE capabilities. The key is 4x4 MIMO, which uses four antennas rather than two to improve signal strength and speeds. We'll test that further in the weeks to come, but in our experience with other devices, 4x4 has had very dramatic effects on LTE performance. Take a look at the charts in our Fastest Mobile Networks story comparing iPhones with Galaxy phones and notice that even the Galaxy S8 was, on average, faster than the iPhone X: That's 4x4 MIMO. English, Chinese (Simplified, Traditional), Danish, Dutch, French, German, Hebrew, Hindi, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Norwegian, Portuguese, Russian, Spanish, Swedish, Thai, Turkish However, even those slower cores are still more powerful than any of those found in the iPhone 6, a handset that's only four years old, showing just how rapidly smartphone technology is progressing in terms of power and efficiency. The question on everyone's mind is the same as it is with every phone: Is the iPhone XS better in low light? The sensor is, without question. It manages to capture images with crisp detail and little noise through ISO 100. That's not a high number if you're talking about a full-frame camera, but for a phone? It's up there with the best we've tested, negating the one-stop advantage the Galaxy S9+ showed over last year's iPhones in our testing.

For the first time in years, there is one iPhone model for North America. That means any iPhone bought will work on any US or Canadian carrier, unlike with previous models, where AT&T and T-Mobile phones often had trouble with Sprint and Verizon. It's worth noting that this is the first iPhone to support T-Mobile's new Band 71, for rural coverage, and the first iPhone to support LAA, for additional speed in dense urban settings on AT&T, T-Mobile, and Verizon. The Apple One free trial includes only services that you are not currently using through a free trial or a subscription. Plan automatically renews after trial until cancelled. Restrictions and other terms apply. Video mirroring and video out support: Up to 1080p through Lightning Digital AV Adapter and Lightning to VGA Adapter (adapters sold separately) 6 This is a weird situation for a review; usually, when looking at an ‘S’ variant of an iPhone we’re asking the question of whether it’s better than the now-cheaper model from the previous year.Siri may not be available in all languages or in all areas, and features may vary by area. Internet access required. Mobile data charges may apply. Sound Recognition on iPhone sends you a notification when it detects an important sound, such as the doorbell or even a baby crying.

iPhone 14, iPhone 14 Pro, iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Pro can detect a serious car crash and call for help. Requires a mobile data connection or Wi‑Fi calling. Battery life claim refers to larger models. All battery claims depend on network configuration and many other factors; actual results will vary. Battery has limited recharge cycles and may eventually need to be replaced. Battery life and charge cycles vary by use and settings. See apple.com/uk/batteries and apple.com/uk/iphone/battery.html for more information. The A12 also increases available storage. The iPhone XS comes in 64GB, 256GB, and a new 512GB model, with built-in software taking up about 8GB. There's no removable storage, but that's a lot of space. On the front, the XS has a sharp 7-megapixel camera that also allows you to adjust bokeh after the fact, thanks to the infrared depth sensors used for Face ID. A Unique OS Available only in selected cities and public transport systems. Requires eligible device and OS version. See here for details.Like the iPhone 8 and X, but unlike previous iPhones, the XS supports the EVS voice encoding system for higher-quality calls. (For more on that, see our feature here.) If you're upgrading from an iPhone 7 or below, and you primarily call other EVS-capable phones on the same carrier, you'll get very noticeably better sound quality than previously. Audio formats supported: AAC‑LC, HE‑AAC, HE‑AAC v2, Protected AAC, MP3, Linear PCM, Apple Lossless, FLAC, Dolby Digital (AC‑3), Dolby Digital Plus (E‑AC‑3), Dolby Atmos, and Audible (formats 2, 3, 4, Audible Enhanced Audio, AAX, and AAX+)
