his is a ‘tock’ year for the iPhone (or, in Apple
lingo, an ‘S’ update) and many of us expected a
relatively quiet and minor refresh for 2018 after
the fireworks of 2017’s iPhone X.
Of course, Apple doesn’t really do quiet phone
launches, and two of its late-2018 newbies are
fascinating: if nothing else the XS Max (read our review

and second-biggest Apple’s ever offered) and the
latter’s price tag offers a comparatively affordable entry
point to the new generation of all-screen iPhones.
But where does that leave the third new handset,
the iPhone XS? Rather outshone. Physically, it’s the
same design as the iPhone X, and the 5.8in edge-to-

features, speed testing, pricing and more, we’re going

from an iPhone 6s Plus or 7s Plus.
Price
Don’t let comparisons with the (truly eye-watering)
XS Max fool you: the XS is a seriously expensive
phone in its own right. It starts at a cool grand and you
can spend more on it than a MacBook if you get the
highest storage capacity.

Design
The iPhone XS is in most respects physically identical
to the X from last year. That will make X owners less
likely to upgrade, but for the rest of us it shouldn’t
be taken as a criticism: the X was a beautiful and
