The iPhone never leaves indifferent, for some it is always the best terminal of each year while for others an overrated option. For thirty days I have been using the iPhone XS Max , in its most expensive https://australiantech.site123.me/blog/iphone-xr-analysis-this-is-apple-s-best-selling configuration, and I am unable to position myself on one side or the other.

Because from the original iPhone and even the iPhone 6 I used Apple phones as the main terminal. And right now, after trying several Android terminals like the Huawei P10 I am using a Oneplus 5T as the main device. But let's go in parts and in the end I tell you my opinion about the iPhone XS Max.

IPhone XS Max part of the same base design view X iPhone . Which may not like those who want a constant renewal in design but you have to be consistent, at this point it is very difficult to continue sharpening a product that in essence is only a rectangle. And less now where the front all screen further reduce the options.

What Apple and its processors is another story. Its ability to make processors with such high performance is to applaud. And beware, the A12 Bionic is no longer the most powerful, that title is supported by the new A12X Bionic iPad Pro. But with the A12 is very difficult to find more powerful smartphone than this iPhone in general terms.

But the question is, is it really appreciated on a day-to-day basis? I have to say yes but in very specific situations . With games whose graphics are demanding, in apps that apply effects in real time or in tasks such as the export of video highlights. The feeling of power is overwhelming and that's what you like.


However in the usual tasks of everyday I admit that I have not felt an experience of exaggeratedly superior use with respect to terminals such as the Huawei Mate 20 Pro , Pixel 3 or even some mid-range proposals - I am sorry that this has to be qualified.

The iPhone XS Max is a blunt phone . I noticed it the first day I had it in my hand, during the next thirty years and even more when I returned to my usual smartphone. By construction, materials and assembly can not be put on. At least not until we reach the dimensions and weight, especially to that last section.

They are the drawbacks of glass as a construction material. The weight and that fragility, two details that bother me beyond the problem traces. Although it also has advantages such as wireless charging.


The dimension theme is very personal. I admit that I like the XS a lot more, but used to other Android terminals of similar diagonal, I do not find it problematic. What has bothered me the most has been the weight. You adapt but when you wear it or carry it in your pants pocket it can be uncomfortable .


And I used it without a case, because with it I felt that size and weight increased too much. Of course, in order not to increase them, I risked that by a fall or accidental blow I might suffer worse damage. Which with the price that the terminal has would be a problem.

The iPhone XS Max is the return to the past of Apple but with all the news of a design without frames and with OLED panel.

Although the proportion of the iPhone X in terms of dimensions and screen seemed very appropriate and definitive for a few years, the iPhone XS Max puts Apple back on the path of the terminals of huge and incomprehensible screen . In Engadget we have already tried it thoroughly to tell you what brings good and bad the new iPhone XS Max charger , a model that pilots fully in a diagonal of 6.5 inches and the controversy of its high price.


iPhone XS Max: returns the big screen iPhone

Last year, Apple introduced the biggest novelty at the design level on its iPhone since its launch. It was something symbolic to celebrate the 10 years of the introduction of the first iPhone, and meant the loss of some frames that penalized the Apple terminal for years, the arrival of Face ID and the interaction with the terminal based on gestures. on the screen.

In 2018 the iPhone with the most screen returns in a big way in every way: more powerful, with more screen, better camera and also a higher price . It also hosts the iPhone XS Max Dual SIM system, although in a hybrid way.

Apple has modified aspects of iOS 12 so that the user can manage that double line, being able to choose in the contacts with which number to make the calls by default, identify the line where the incoming call arrives or activate / deactivate the lines separately when the user wants


Apple releases the eSIM or virtual SIM in its phone to complement the physical nanoSIM, being able to have two different mobile lines active at the same time. This second line can be configured simply by scanning a QR code provided by the operator.

In that iPhone X , only, the screen was reduced to 5.8 inches. The Plus model was partially lost (it still existed in the iPhone 8 family ), which, among other improvements, offered a larger screen.

The doubts arise around the implementation of this functionality in third-party applications, where they will be the ones who decide when and how this possibility will be available.

The iPhone XS Max has dimensions almost nailed to those of the iPhone Plus of previous generations. It is practically as tall, barely wider and heavier (208 grams) but a little thinner .


All crystal and OLED screen

If it were not for its physical dimensions it would be impossible to detect the new iPhone XS Max among several iPhone X. The exterior is identical except for the detail of the gold color that is now available and small changes in the antennas.

On the iPhone XS Max in gold, you have to forget to think of it as something bizarre. It is a very pleasant tone to the eye , discreet and at the same time different.

The segment of the screen protectors has avoided many scares among users, and placing a sheet of this type has become a recommended and widespread practice. iphone Chargers

There are manufacturers whose protectors go beyond that facet, and in this Mobile World Congress we have been able to know solutions such as Panzerglass, which has a protector for iPhones that avoids prying eyes protecting privacy, but also has a cap system the front camera .

Do not spy on your mobile

The so-called PanzerGlass CamSlider is a protector for various iPhone models, including the recent iPhone Xr, which not only protects the device with tempered glass.

The interesting thing about this product is that in addition to that protective function it focuses on the privacy of the user , and it does so with two independent but complementary features.


The first, a privacy filter that makes looking at the screen from a side angle we can not read what it says, something that avoids prying eyes.


The second a small mechanism that allows to slide a part of the protector to cover or discover the front camera . Taking into account that there is a type of malware that sometimes controls the front camera of our mobile without us knowing, having it covered with this function is very interesting.


This type of protection has been widespread for some time among laptop users - until Zuckerberg puts means to avoid this invasion of privacy - and it seems that this type of measures could now be popularized among mobile users.

The interior of the mobiles is composed of hundreds of small pieces, all of them assembled with care. But if water or dust gets inside the components can be damaged and the device stop working. To avoid this the manufacturers seal the tickets and even in some models like the iPhone Xs we have IP68 resistance that allows us to submerge the mobile. However, as a result of a fortuitous accident it has become clear that the iPhone is vulnerable to helium .

The most striking is not only that it seriously affects the operation, but that it happens with other Apple devices such as the iPad or Apple Watch. Although the same does not seem to happen with most Android phones. We will explain what is the reason for this technical failure, why Apple's products are affected and what is the response that the company gives to this peculiar phenomenon.

Eric Woolridge is a systems administrator at the Morris Hospital in Illinois. Through a detailed text in the subreddit of Sysadmin, he describes how he discovered that the iPhone stopped working when it came into continuous contact with helium gas. On October 8, multiple hospital workers came to him because his iPhone had stopped working for no apparent reason. Just that day the hospital had installed a new magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) machine which led Eric to think that there was some kind of magnetic emission that damaged the iPhone. It was very strange, since only the Apple devices in the center were affected. All the iPhone, but also several iPads and Apple Watch, and up to 40 people, according to Woolridge. However, no Samsung, Motorola or Android mobile appeared with problems. Nor an old iPhone 5.

After this "discovery", several users have tried to replicate the problem in their homes and have seen how it effectively repeats itself. Helium affects the iPhone and blocks them completely . They do not connect to the mobile network, they do not load and they do not react to screen touches either. Although after a while they are slowly recovering . After the hospital incident, the system administrator comments that several of the Apple Watch still do not have the touch screen correctly even after a few days.


The answer to this situation is in the helium. And what does it have to do with the resonance machine? Basically that at the time of installation there was a helium leak and up to 120 liters were dispersed by the hospital for five hours. A significant amount of helium and enough to affect the devices.

But the rumor about the return of the iPhone X is not the only thing, since the WSJ also talks about Apple being down the price of the iPhone XR in Japan , which would be a strange move because we know that the company does not usually Cut prices to your devices, more if it has just been released.

The information tells us that Apple would have reached agreements with the operators of that country , this to subsidize part of the price and so the iPhone XR is offered to Japanese consumers at a more attractive price. With this, it would face the competition and boost the sales of its new "input" devices.

It should be noted that so far there is no official confirmation by Apple, so we will be alert to any developments.The Apple iPhone XR 128GB is a good iOS mobile with 2.25Ghz Hexa-Core processor that allows games and heavy applications to run.The Apple iPhone XR 256GB is a good iOS mobile with 2.25Ghz Hexa-Core processor that allows games and heavy applications to run.

The iPhone XR uses the Lightning connector for charging and syncing. Apple provides a basic 5W charger in the box with this iPhone which is adaquate but the XR iPhone and all iPhones from the iPhone 8 and have fast charging capabilities. As always ensure you buy an Apple certified MFI (Made For iPhone) charger. Must read here information on quality iPhone chargers.  

With a SIM card slot, the Apple iPhone XR 256GB allows download up to 1024 Mbps for Internet browsing, but this also depends on the mobile operator.


Great connectivity of this terminal that includes Bluetooth Version 5.0 with A2DP / LE, WiFi 802.11 a / b / g / n / ac + MIMO (2.4Ghz / 5Ghz) and NFC to make payments and allows connection to other terminals.


Including the battery, the Apple iPhone XR 256GB has 194 grams and is a very thin terminal with only 8.3 mm.

In the last keynote of September, where we met the new iPhone XS and XR , at the end of the presentation we learned that the iPhone X would stop producing after just one year in the market , as everything indicated that the company was looking to boost their new smartphones and the iPhone X was redundant in that equation.


Today, according to The Wall Street Journal , Apple is about to resume production of iPhone X , a decision that supposedly arises due to the low sales of the iPhone XS and XS Max. The funny thing is that this coincides with a previous report , which precisely pointed to a decrease in the production of the new iPhone.

You have to comply with the quota of OLED panels

According to the information, this move is due to the agreement that exists with Samsung for the manufacture and purchase of OLED panels , and as supposedly the demand is being less than expected, Apple would have decided to relaunch the iPhone X to add to the necessary panel quota to comply with the agreement with Samsung.

It is said that the iPhone X would come at an attractive price , thanks to the fact that it would be cheaper to produce when using components from last year, which would help boost the sales of devices, but especially those with OLED panel, which is where they would need increase sales.

In fact, there is also talk that the iPhone XR is suffering from low demand, and is that it is believed that most users are opting for the iPhone 8 , which remains in the market as the entry smartphone and that today It has a price that would be attractive to a large number of users.


The information points to that in the coming weeks will be the announcement of the new release for sale of the iPhone X, what is not known is whether it will reach to arrive for the Christmas season or will go until 2019.

Curious the move of Apple this year. Curious and with something of with an extra model of smartphone that adds with lower price and more colors to the "iPhone senior", and is the one that we will reel today in the analysis of the iPhone XR , the one-camera, the one of the colors.

A phone that a priori is quite juicy to those who intend to acquire a flagship to give much of what they incorporate their older brothers at a lower price , and with the addition of reaching an audience that seeks more casual finishes without prioritizing the double camera ( now that it's almost a thing of the past). The latest Apple processor with a somewhat different design and intermediate dimensions between one brother and another, we tell you how it behaves.

Design: a twin with aluminum edges and notorious frames

Last year Apple still gave a last breath to the aesthetic stoic that the iPhone manifested in its front from the first model in 2007 with the iPhone 8 . Small variations like the Home button, which evolved to Touch ID with the iPhone 5S , or the diagonal increase that was seen from the iPhone 5 (which was the big jump at the brand level with the Plus models), the frames were notorious Apple in smartphones until came the iPhone X and said, and notch 've had enough.

Thus, the iPhone 8 and 8 Plus were the last vestige of those frames and the iPhone XR, despite being the "smallest" or the "most basic", already incorporates the front with notch. Of course, as we said in the first impressions are frames thicker than those of his brothers, about 4.17 millimeters.


But symmetrical; here Apple is still unique in its kind and rewarding the friends of the TOC, without disparity in the thickness between horizontal and vertical frames as we usually see in manufacturers who have opted for a similar design. Although there is a slight breach of the absolute symmetry that often characterizes Apple's designs with a Lightning that is not aligned to the center of the edge, but is somewhat closer to the screen.
