Buyers of iPhone XS and iPhone XS Max can avail 5% cashback on all purchases made via Citi Bank or Axis Bank credit cards. The cashback offer is not available on EMI purchases. Last year, Citi Bank offered buyers flat Rs 10,000 discount on purchase of iPhone X. Flipkart, Amazon and Reliance Jio too offered buyers discount on iPhone 8, iPhone 8 Plus and iPhone X. Flipkart and Reliance Jio also offered users upgrade options. This year, so far, there are no such offer available on iPhone XS and iPhone XS Max.<doc-sep>Apple iPhone XS Max review: The best phone has to come at a price but if you can afford it, the chances are you will not regret it one bit. Apple iPhone XS Max review: The best phone has to come at a price but if you can afford it, the chances are you will not regret it one bit. Picture this. There is a shiny chrome finish coffee maker on the table. Someone places another object near it and it starts reflecting on chrome. All very normal, till I tell you only the table is real here, the coffee maker as well as the very real, real-time reflections on it are all augmented reality being created by an app on the latest iPhone XS Max. A few years back most computers couldn’t dream of processing power that would make this happen. Today, it is possible within the smartphone in your hand. This is the era of super-computing in your hand, the era of the A12 Bionic processor.

That has been the tradition with iPhones. But the iPhone XS series parts from that logic as Apple has chosen to launch a processor that moves from 10 to 7 nanometer architecture this year.

Apple iPhone XS Max review: Apple iPhone XS Max is a S year iPhone, which means it’s an upgrade on a model that is already there and you should not expect much. That alone means this phone has a processor that packs in many more transistors and is capable of doing stuff its predecessors could not. So the iPhone XS and iPhone XS Max are more about the stuff you can’t see than those you can. And there is a lot here you can’t see, or should not really bother to understand. First, let’s look at the stuff you can see. The iPhone XS Max is technically the largest display Apple has ever offered. I will not call it the largest phone Apple has sold, because it is clearly the same size as the iPhone 8 Plus. So for users like me the iPhone XS Max, despite being a new form factor, offers a lot that is familiar — for instance the grip I am used to from the Plus devices which I preferred for the extra real estate they used to pack. Also read: Apple iPhone XS Max review blog: Who should buy this phone and why The iPhone XS Max is also about this extra real estate. This phone is for those who like to consume more, be it reading on the Super Retina display or just binging on videos with the HDR enabled screen. In fact, for those who love to watch video or hear music without earphone, this phone has the best speakers, that too stereo, Apple has ever packed in a phone.

I will not call it the largest phone Apple has sold, because it is clearly the same size as the iPhone 8 Plus. This was something waiting to happen as Apple had with the iPad Pros showed the world what can be done, or should I say heard, in a mobile device. In both smartphones and tablets, Apple now offers the gold standard in audio playback. Let me warn you, the speakers are loud enough to startle a meeting or get you thrown out of a cinema. I like the large body of this phone. At just above 200 grams this phone offers me the weight that comes as an assurance that this is a device that will be with you whatever you do. Remember this is water and dust proof, just in case the need arises. Also, the large body means this has a better battery than the iPhone X and the iPhone XS. However, this will be my biggest pain point with the iPhone. It is still woefully inadequate. I want a phone that lasts till late in the night, not till the evening. On Indian networks, which are all tower and no connectivity, I’m searching for a charger around sundown.

Apple iPhone XS Max review: If there is something excess in the XS Max, other than the 6.5-inch display, it has to be the extra power behind the hood. But for those on a power trip, the gold version of the new iPhones have enough to satisfy more than the urge for bling. But remember, there is quite a bit of glass on this phone and you will have to protect this with your life. This new iPhone is all about power, of the other kind. If there is something excess in the XS Max, other than the 6.5-inch display, it has to be the extra power behind the hood. The A12 Bionic processor is made to offer the power needed for the era of machine learning and augmented reality.<doc-sep>Apple iPhone XS review: The most premium iPhone is officially here in India, and here’s what we thought after using it. Apple iPhone XS review: The most premium iPhone is officially here in India, and here’s what we thought after using it. Apple iPhone XS and iPhone XS Max are officially on sale in India. Both of them sport OLED displays, improved dual-rear cameras and are powered by the powerful A12 Bionic chip coupled with an 8-core neural engine for AI and machine learning related tasks. Apple’s latest iPhone packs a lot of new features, but as always there’s a high cost for the most premium smartphone. The question though is: Should you upgrade and is it worth that Rs 1 lakh price? I’ve been using iPhone XS as a my primary device for a close over a week and here’s what I thought Apple iPhone XS specifications: 5.8-inch OLED display with 2436 X 1125 pixel resolution at 458 ppi | A12 Bionic chipset | 64GB/256GB/512GB storage | 12MP+12MP rear camera with ƒ/1.8 aperture on wide-angle and ƒ/2.4 aperture on telephoto + TrueDepth Front camera with 7MP Photos | iOS 12 Apple iPhone XS Price in India: Rs 99,900 for the 64GB version Apple iPhone XS: Design, Display If you were to put the new iPhone XS next to the older iPhone X, it might not seem so original or new. Plus, we have seen countless other phones launch since the iPhone X, which have copied that design with the notched display, and vertically stacked dual-rear camera. However, none of that makes the iPhone XS any less good-looking. And what Apple has done once again is gone for a colour, that rivals do not offer. That gold, especially the dark gold, stainless steel frame on the side, Apple just does it so well. They did popularise the gold colour starting with iPhone 5s, to the point that it is now commonplace, even on the cheapest Android phones. The dark gold frame on the iPhone XS looks premium and polished. The dark gold frame on the iPhone XS looks premium and polished. With the iPhone XS, this gold really stood out for me. It is dark on the side, has a hint of pink on the back and stands out from competition. Yes, some will find it too blingy, but this is a colour like no other. Sadly, the glass back of the iPhone XS is prone to smudges and you will need a case to protect this device, which hides those colours and that’s a shame. Apple iPhone XS continues with the full-screen 5.8-inch display we saw on the iPhone X, and this is a fantastic one. This OLED screen has the deepest blacks, excellent colour reproduction and will make any video watching experience great. It is right up there with the Samsung displays, and sets the standards high.

The bigger 5.8-inch display I feel is just the right size. People who prefer smaller phones might lean towards this, as the size is more manageable, especially with one-hand use. However, some of you might find that iPhone XS does fit so easily into jeans pockets. When it comes to the iPhone XS, you will just have to make your peace with the notch. When it comes to the iPhone XS, you will just have to make your peace with the notch. For me, the iPhone XS came with another big design change: the notch. In some apps it does make for a jarring experience. For instance in Youtube, when you do the pinch to zoom, the content gets wrapped around the notch. There’s no denying the notch does ruin some experiences, but if you are planning to upgrade to a iPhone XS, you will have to live with it. Apple iPhone XS: Performance, Face ID, Memoji Performance on iPhone has never been an issue for me. In benchmarks like GeekBench and Antutu, the iPhone XS scores are higher than what most Android flagships and it shows the kind of standards that Apple has set in this area. Given this has been primary device, I have had a smooth sailing so far. I am usually switching between multiple apps on this and I have not faced any stuttering or lag when running apps. Be it gaming or social media or even just endlessly scrolling on apps like Reddit, the iPhone XS can handle it all. The iPhone XS also comes with the A12 chipset, which has a dedicated neural engine. Apple has also launched its own AR app like Measure, and while the concept might not be unique, on the iPhone XS, the app works smoothly when it comes to detecting the object and measuring it out for you. In benchmarks like GeekBench and Antutu, the iPhone XS scores are higher than what most Android flagships and it shows the kind of standards that Apple has set in this area. In benchmarks like GeekBench and Antutu, the iPhone XS scores are higher than what most Android flagships and it shows the kind of standards that Apple has set in this area. With iPhone XS, Face ID is another major feature that one gets to experience, unless you have tried out the iPhone X. It is one of the more convenient ways of unlocking your iPhone. It works perfectly in the dark. It works 99 per cent of the time for me, with or without makeup or my glasses, which makes this far less frustrating than face unlock on other phones. Another feature of the new iPhone XS is the Memoji. Honestly, I don’t care for this as much, but I would say the Memoji is still the most acceptable Emoji version of myself I have seen compared to all the other variants of this.<doc-sep>
