Unboxing the iPhone XS Max #Helpful Post

hey guys this is austin and welcome to

launch of the iPhone 10s and the 10s max

this is gonna be a fun one

so of course not only do we have the S

model update to the standard iPhone 10

but we also have the much larger max

edition and I think a lot of people were

kind of expecting this when the iPhone

10 first came out but what you're

getting here is something that is much

closer to the iPhone 7 plus 8 plus and

size open this guy up and what we're

going to find is well probably the exact

same thing as you find with every iPhone

since the dawn of time some paperwork

with our obligatory Apple stickers and

the max so there's actually first time

I've held the max it's big it's pretty

big on top of having a max edition

available there's also a new gold color

for the 10s as well as the 10s max I'm

usually not a fan of gold I had to say

though this doesn't look so bad a little

bit more of a what would you call this

like a taupe I call like a band-aid

color taupe it's like you know brownish

like like like beige even though it's a

much larger phone you know what else

we're gonna find in the box these same 5

watt charger that they've been shipping

since 2007 yes my friends even though

you've got a massive battery and a huge

display it's still going to take you

like what two three hours to charge the

phone for real it's totally ridiculous

that they ship such a tiny cheap adapter

in the box when they actually sell other

alternatives which will charge the

iPhone much faster if you want to shell

out $50 for the USBC adapter and another

20 for the USBC to lightning cable you

can get your phone charged much much

quicker but instead they put this in the

box so yeah what I like to see on my

thousand dollar plus phone the 10s also

does come with Apple earpods

so as a surprise to no one there's no

headphone jack here instead it does take

advantage of lightning I don't know why

that flop open like that what you're not

going to find here is a headphone jack

adapter yes my friends the thing that's

been included on I post last couple

years that's 35 cent part to manufacture

a little adapter that will make your

headphones work on your iPhone not

including the box that's gonna run you

know the 20 bucks or is it 15 is it 10

it's still $10 now they should include

it I don't mind the idea that they are

still

shipping a lightning cable with USB a

but I mean this is an expensive phone

why are they cutting out things why are

they removing things when they should be

making it better if we open up the

standard 10s we're going to find is

iPhone that is very very similar to the

10 when I'm mostly curious about though

is the actual size difference put the

tenets side-by-side with the max and you

do get a much much larger display

whereas this has a 5 point 8 inch panel

you're getting a full six and a half

inches do you remember the days where a

7 inch phone was called a tablet

difference min booth the original iPhone

versus the max I mean that's that's

ridiculous but you know what it kind of

works I feel like everyone's kind of

gotten on board with a large phone train

and a big reason we're here is because

of the good old galaxy note even though

we have such a larger display the actual

footprint of the iPhone 10's max isn't

really all that much larger than say an

iPhone 6 plus 7 plus what have you it is

going to be a little bit shorter than

the note but it's not as crazy as I was

anticipating it to be when it comes to

telling the iPhone 10 apart from the 10s

they're very similar except for one

major difference if you look on the

bottom of the phone where the 10 is

nicely symmetrical with the speaker and

the microphones the 10s has a little bit

of an antenna line which sort of cuts

that short the main reason for this is

that it should give you better reception

I'm actually going to test that a little

bit later supposedly we're going to be

getting more antennas for better Wi-Fi

as well as LTE reception but it looks a

little uh a little ugly not sure how

this past Johnny I've and the boys

there's also a slight difference in the

size of the camera bump so to illustrate

this I have a 10 s Max and a 10 s max

case you can see there goes pretty much

fully around the camera but if you'd put

an iPhone 10 and a 10 s case you can see

it's going to be a little bit misshapen

specifically on the bottom it doesn't

quite line up most iPhone 10 cases

should work with a 10 s and vice versa

but you might want to keep an eye on

that the camera bump is going to be just

a little bit bigger one of the big

upgrades this year is the a12 Bionic

chip so they've claimed some pretty

decent performance improvements but the

first thing I've noticed as soon as I

open up Geekbench is we have more memory

before we had three gigs of RAM on the

iPhone 10 but this year we have four

gigs on both the 10s as well as the Macs

interesting so whereas the 10 is a

little bit slower than the 10s and

as well as the 10s it's by a pretty

small difference the single core is a

little bit higher but the multi-core is

actually very similar the days of seeing

50% CPU performance every year might

just be over although to be fair these

are still like the fastest phones I've

ever tested so yeah one of the bigger

upgrades this year is with the camera so

the main shooter has been upgraded on

both the 10s as well as the Mac's with a

larger sensor and it also has smart HDR

functionality there's a big Wow look at

the difference in range so with the 10s

we're actually getting all of the detail

on your face whereas the max is blowing

out not only Matt's place in the

background but also like stuff like your

cheek the portrait mode also does look a

fair bit better so not only do we have

that better dynamic range but we're also

seeing it's a little bit more accurate

as far as cutting people out of the

photo and the ability to adjust the

depth of field after the fact is really

nice not perfect definitely has some

more work to do but it does look a lot

more natural than the ten as well as the

eight plus so is the iPhone 10s max

worth it where you have to stay tuned my

friends because we're going to be doing

an entire video all about that make sure

to subscribe and stay tuned otherwise

you have to spend $1,100 in the phone
