I've had an iPhone 6 Plus for 4 and a half years and I've been very happy with it. I checked out the new phones and saw that the XS Max was the same size as my 6 Plus but the whole screen was used. So I purchased it. It works a little different than the plus (no home button, shuts off differently, among a few things), but I've gotten used to the differences and I actually prefer them. I love the Face recognition feature, and I love swiping up to get out of an app. It's a lot faster than the Plus and Siri is easier to use. I haven't had any problems charging it because I charge it wirelessly. I love that feature. Apple products are great because I can back them up to my computer and when I get a new product just restore it from the backup and everything is there. My games are where I left off, all of my texts are there. It's great. The only downside is it's a little heavier but that's nothing. So all in all, I'm really glad I bought this phone.

This phone is by far the best phone I’ve had. I used to use the Samsung Galaxy S9+. I had all the Galaxy phones. I tried Apple a while ago but went back to Android. Now I’m back on Apple and love it. The interface is so easy to use. Everything about the phone is amazing too.

This phone is a game changer. Was instantly thankful for upgrading. The new phone works so much better with Apple CarPlay than my 7 plus. After getting a handle on not having a home screen button, use of the phone fairly easy. Be aware that all functions requiring a home button are different. I like the look and functionality of the messaging keyboard and the mic positioning is so convenient. I use it all the time. The Face ID is cool to.

I bought my wife and myself the Gold iPhone XS Max with 512GB. They were expensive, but you usually get what you pay for ... not just a brand. Great camera and many other features, such as a larger screen, that make it the best. I highly recommend this one over all the others models. We put them in clear cases to see the beauty of the iPhone.

Device (FaceID) was easy to set up and the camera works exceptionally well. I’m not sure the extra storage is worth the money but after many years of filling up 64GB I opted for the 256GB device.

Best overall phone on the market

The iPhone XS Max combines a big OLED screen, great speakers, great cameras, great battery life, and blazing fast speed into the best user experience on a smartphone. For the record...I also own the Galaxy Note 9 as my business phone and it’s a great phone too with all the things I just listed for the iPhone. Where the iPhone stands out is software and Apple will support this phone with software updates for 5 years...the Note 9 is a 2018 phone running 2017 Android software and Samsung gives software updates for 3 years. I’ll list some pros and cons and also what the tech media won’t tell you.
Pros:
- battery life is all day
- upgraded speakers get real loud
- Face ID is faster
- fast and smooth
- Siri has been given shortcuts
- upgraded cameras are just as good as Samsung cameras now and the front camera is better than the Note 9 front camera
Cons:
- expensive
- slow speed charger
- no headphone jack
- it’s made of glass on the front and back. A case is almost mandatory especially if you are clumsy
Bottom line...the iPhone and Galaxy phones are the best phones on the market right now. The iPhone is a step ahead because iOS gets frequent updates and starting with iOS 12 Apple actually sped up old iPhones and iPads which will allow users to keep their devices longer. An iPhone is now like a laptop and something you only need to upgrade once it breaks. The iPhone is also the ONLY smartphone that can stream all video apps in full screen. Android doesn’t have full screen built into the OS so video apps like HBO, Showtime, Cinemax, STARZ, Encore, and EPIC are all tiny on the Note 9...those apps are all full screen on the iPhone. Food for thought.

I get a new iPhone every 2 years. I never get those so-called mid new releases. I laughed at the iPhone X when it came out and I seen it. This XS Max isn’t that. Trust me! This is why I only upgrade, every 2 years only! I told myself, if they don’t make any extreme changes, that I would be keeping my 7 Plus. I was the first to have the iPhone XS Max. Best Buy was giving them out at 8 AM. Before the cellphone stores. It’s a refreshing change. I’m just wondering, what took them so long? It’s extremely expensive though. Lots of improvements! Great phone. Apple has always been good at taking what’s out there and making it better!

After charging it for 20 minutes before I could turn on to start the set up process. It is a really nice phone for my first iphone. I did have trouble with the shipping but all in all this was a good buy so far.
