Apple iPhone XS Max, 256GB, Gold - Fully Unlocked (Renewed)

Product Information

Power: All 3 phones are kitted out with the same processor, but the two XS versions offer 4 GB RAM. The XR makes do with 3 GB.

Headline feature and main reason to buy the Apple iPhone XS Max is the 6.5-inch True Tone OLED display. This is 0.1 inches larger than the screen on the Samsung Galaxy Note 9. Super Retina resolution (2.688 x 1.242) results in a pixel density of 458 ppi. The display supports both HDR 10 and Dolby Vision for an absolutely stunning viewing experience. The SIM card tray continues to be located below this key, but there's a new feature inside the iPhone XS Max (and XS). The handset is dual SIM enabled, with an eSIM embedded inside the handset.

Hearing Aid Compatible, Hands Free Communication, Voice Control, TTY Support, Adjustable Handset Volume, Adjustable Ringer Volume, Text-to-Speech, Vibrate Smart HDR: Smart HDR captures many photos at once, then selects the best few and uses them to create an optimised image with outstanding dynamic range. That said, it's getting increasingly hard to find new models of the iPhone XS Max, so if you really still want to buy it you might have to settle for a refurbished handset. Of course, the price of those is even lower.

If you find the gold a bit too much, the iPhone XS Max also comes in Silver and Space Gray. Available space is less and varies due to many factors.

While the iPhone XS Max does feel a little chunky in the hand there's no questioning the fact that you're getting a huge amount of display real estate crammed into a form factor which does a good job of keeping it usable. For those who crave more screen for video and gaming on the go, the expansive display of the iPhone XS Max (and newer iPhone 13 Pro Max) are a welcome part of Apple’s lineup, while those wanting a premium experience without the supersized dimensions can take comfort that it’s launched alongside the smaller iPhone XS– though if you want small, the iPhone 13 mini and iPhone 12 mini are the tiniest iPhones in years.

XS Max v. iPhone XS and XR

Apple has upped the protection to IP68, enabling the iPhone XS Max to be submerged to a depth of up to two meters for 30 minutes without suffering any ill effects. Apple claims it's tested the protection in a number of liquids, including salt water, chlorinated water, milk, wine and beer, although we wouldn't advise purposefully exposing the handset to any of these.
