If you are planning to upgrade to Apple’s new iPhone (iPhone XS or iPhone XS Max), then you need to become accustomed to the various features and the key differentiators between both these new iPhone versions. First, let’s examine the similarities between the two phones.
Both the iPhone XS and iPhone XS Max mirror the overall design of the iPhone X. They both boast the same glass back, surgical-grade stainless steel band in space grey, gold, and silver color options, OLED display, wireless charging, TrueDepth camera system, and satisfying click buttons.
However, there are also many differences between the iPhone XS and iPhone XS Max, including:

1. Display size
The biggest difference between these iPhones is the display size. The iPhone XS Max offers a much larger screen, at a whopping 6.5-inches with a 2,688 x 1,242 pixel resolution. The XS Max is also ideal addition for gamers and has been designed to provide a bigger and a better movie-watching experience.

2. Battery life and storage
There is also a difference in battery duration, as the iPhone XS has a 2800 mAh battery while the iPhone XS Max comes equipped with a massive 3400 mAh. The iPhone XS Max also comes with more storage at 64 GB, 256 GB, and 512 GB storage capacities.

3. Water and temperature resistance
With its “Ingress Protection” rating of IP68, iPhone XS Max is water resistant (not waterproof), which means it can be submerged in water as deep as two meters for up to 30 minutes. This model is also dust-proof and can continue to operate normally in temperatures above freezing and below 95-degrees Fahrenheit, surviving the most extreme temperature ranges when it’s turned off.

4. Price
The iPhone XS beats out the iPhone XS Max when it comes to price. The iPhone XS Max is Apple’s biggest and the priciest iPhone ever at $1,099 for 64GB to $1,449 for 512GB.

5. Performance
In recent years, Apple has increased RAM in all of its smartphones, but the iPhone XS Max sports a 4GB RAM with an A11 Bionic chipset, making it top in terms of improved performance and power saving capability.
