Your best iphone review yet, great use of words and fair criticism and noticed your tone changed when influenced by your bias, which i dont mind but its an improvement over the older iphone reviews
Yet he is the only one ive seen that praises its camera, bcs everyone else agrees its quite shit...smooths everything out, colors are bad and just no detail. Looks good only on the phones screen.
I would not say that iPhone cameras are bad at all. But I would argue that there are better smartphone cameras. Such as his favorite, the pixel 2. iPhone is not doing a bad job at all. It just seems that way since a lot of people don't buy apple for it's specs or camera. They mostly buy it due to the rising popularity in apple, or the "apple ecosystem".
@@Eternalsilence111 only in america and some middle east countries have the price tag of $1000. And rest of the world iphone is so expensive that it doesn't worth the money. Pixel 2xl and note 9 is cheaper than the iphone and worth for money too.
I've been a 7 year iphone user and gambled by getting the Samsung S10. Had it for under a week and already miss the smoothness of the iphone. I'm getting pop ups on the Samsung too which irritates the crap out of me. Yes I do like the colorful customization of the galaxy but I will be taking this back for another iPhone.
Seriously guys, we need to stop the trend of 1000$ phones. Not just iphone, but any phone. The more we take it for granted the more closer we get to 1500$ trend, which is exactly what we as the consumers do not want. Edit: Well it is more than a year later and $2000 flagships are already here. Also some people in the comments have overlooked the meaning of my comment that I am not hating on apple, I own an iphone myself and will continue to buy iphone flagship for years to come. Iphone 11 pro max 256gb already costs $1800 here in Canada. I know prices for latest tech will never stay the same and will only continue to rise and that is just how its going to be. Lets see what the future brings and what future smartphones will hold.
Apple is shooting for the "luxury" demographic, people who can afford that money. They don't want every crackhead carrying their phones. They want that cachet, that status symbol. It's why Apple changes *something* about the outside of the phone every year, so you can see who has the newest phone.
@@SuperGetoverhere Because its bad for your character to spend other peoples money. Also, product with bad price/performance should be avoided at all times.
This is a non-biased iPhone review and basically all the comments are either bashing Apple or praising their Android phone... How about you all stop fanboying over which phone you personally prefer and praise this great video Marques made instead of disliking the video because you dislike iPhones.
I am an iPhone user, have an iPhone 8+ and an Ipad 2. This review IS biased, he focuses way too much on the colors and slight increments on the phone, but it is not an essential upgrade. The unreasonable lack of dongles, which they included in my iphone 8 and now they are not in there. I mean what the hell? Why do people still defend a company that gives no crap about their consumers?!
Just upgraded from 6s to Xs. Camera quality is 🔥. Still getting used to it as i have a habit of clicking home button for no reason and kinda missing that in XS lol.
I like the new iPhones but at this point Apple should be ashamed of themselves for STILL not including the fast charger in the box. ESPECIALLY if they’re taking away the headphone adapter. That’s what’s keeping me on the fence on getting one
Blissful Martini I mean for me they don’t have to include the fast charger however what they should do is like lower each iPhone at least $100 less than right now
Blissful Martini agreed. Love the iPhone but fast charger not in the box pisses me off. Not a deal breaker but I think for $1000 they should at least include it
I use iphone se 2016 and it does everything i need. A phone is a tool, and the small improvements in newer models rarely give a significant value to owner’s life.
@@lmao9526 the regular 11 yes bcuz of display but not the 11 pros ... but you have to rmember just how much cheaper it is ... for faster chip but worse display ... better camera system ... iphone 11 is leagues better value
Andre Schmitz They also put themselve in fire for no reason.. I would not feel very well entering a car, that was reported to start fire more often recently..
Actually that happens not that often if you compare it to regular gasoline cars, you Literaly have a tank with highly flamable juice under your ass, and the batterys are under hardened steel soo... At least it gives me a better feel then a tank of gasoline
They didn't really remove any throttling, throttling is a reality for just about every battery-powered device unless you like yours hot and crisp. They just made the OS itself more efficient so it needs less computational power overall and the throttling isn't really visible. That's really the only way to go nowadays, Moore's law is stopping and batteries aren't getting any better, so improving software is all we have left.
No but certainly pro apple bias. Not to sheep levels, but the bias is definitely there. Although I'm not sure If his pixel bias is stronger than his apple bias or not...
@@joual9299 only 3 times less? Jerryrigeverything pointed out on his Note 9 "review" that Samsung has squeezed more features into the bottom of the phone chassis than apple has in their entire ecosystem XD
@@joual9299 agreed, I was gonna say that too. It's crazy how he didn't complain about one thing: USB C, Price, fast charger not included, literally the exact same design (instead he says "it's not exactly..." (-_-)), XR being released late, and I can go on
Mkbhd, I didn't even watch the video and the comments are telling me the story already. It's not the price that is the maddening factor, most of the people can buy the phone. It's just that how apple brainwashes people to buy these phones with no significant features at all for a day to day user. I mean really??? Are those super tiny features worth even upgrading even if this phone sells at same price as previous ones? Also this iPhone launch has exposed many TH-camrs as apple fan boys, who straight up ignore iPhones obvious flaws : no new features and ridiculous price.
@@itzcxhzy In India where I Live in Pune rent is INR 8500 ( USD 117 ) Per month for a 1 bedroom apartment with a large balcony. For two bedroom it's usually INR 12000 ( USD 165 ) per month.
Yup - $1999 + TAX in Canada for the 512 GB model. Sad to say that even the base iPhone XS Max costs about the same up here as a 13 inch (non touch bar) MacBook Pro!
I'm going to a XS from a 5S in around 3 weeks. The 5S was my first phone. Got it for my 13th birthday, 5 years and 2 months ago. I know it'll be a huge difference and a decent learning curve. I can imagine that I'll spend hours just trying to find all the things 3D touch can do, and I'll probably spend just as long just marvelling at the camera and screen upgrades. It's kinda funny. I'll be going from the first iPhone with a fingerprint scanner to the second one to have FaceID.
Christianna Moss Saaaaaaame. I'm graduating high school and it's my graduation gift. Hopefully we'll get over to the store sometime next week, as the ceremony's Wednesday - I'm actually much more excited for the phone than the walk lol, public school has been nasty and I just want to be done. I'm sick of running iOS 10. I can't update, since I have only 11.83 GB to use and I constantly only have like 100 MB open, so there's a lot of apps I can't use anymore for compatibility
Jake 3752 congrats on graduating! Glad you are getting out of there, and that you can get a new phone. You can get a fresh start now. Yes, worrying about storege is a pain. I have the 16gb and able to update but I had to delete a ton of apps. It's alright for minimalist usage now. Hopefully we won't have to worry about storage for a few years now 😅
i mean the thing is sure you could go swim at a lake or something with your phone, but it doesn't float. Sure its waterproof but when you lose it in the lake its gone anyway XD. But sure its waterproof but its only really water proof in fresh water.
Marques didnt explain IP rating properly .. IP 67 is meant to be splash proof or quick dunk in the water without any damage while IP 68 which is what this phone is rated means it is waterproof up to 1.5 m under water for 30 mins which should be fine if u want to take ur phone to the pool without worries . P.S My friend who had an older iphone 7 which is only rated IP 67 and he immersed in flowing water near a lake and froze his phone ..lucky for him he still had warranty for accidental damage..
@@kirHaz as of now IP 68 is the best thing that comes close to water proofing ur phone at limited depth of water and for limited time . of course true meaning of water proof means how long it stays under water shouldnt matter
The asymmetrical speaker holes really drive me nuts, haha. I also can't help but think that the cases not working on both phones is an intentional thing from Apple to sell more cases. :\
yunus y you’d be surprised the amount of people who upgrade every year to the new iPhone or Samsung. I try to upgrade every 3 years depending on what condition the phone is in after 2 years
I'm watching more and more of your videos, and I have to say, I love the format! So informative and to the point, with a great personality shining through. Keep it up, your videos are amazing!
Love my Xs Max, upgraded from the 7+ and the improvements between these two phones are insane. The screen alone is something to get used to and it’s so beautiful!
@@ashyp3761 and it has a big fucking notch that is useless and shouldn't exist in 2018 while everyone (even apple) wants to make infinity displays with no borders. They force you to use a slow and inefficient technology (face unlock) that takes up a lot of screen space while we could have an iPhone with only a front camera and every sensor underneath the display. Just take a look at Oppo phones.
To all those people who said that he is biased towards Apple for not criticising the same design, no headphone dongle etc. - He ain't biased. When all of the critics have complained the same design for Note 9, he didn't complain. He said it was in fact the best Android phone. So get your facts correct. He ain't biased.
Not much change but alot of people still want that truely big screen from Apple for a long time ! And that super damn good 4K HDR camera recording phone !
Crucial Muzic Just a pr3cautionary measure for if you drop it in water. But I definitely appreciate splash protection that allows me to take it into the shower and take pictures in the splash zone.
it’s definitely a life saver when you need it. I have an iPhone 7+, the first iPhone to have water resistance, and I do swim with it occasionally, but I also dropped it in oil once when changing the oil on my car and I just pulled it out and washed it and it was fine.
Apple caters to a particular crowd and that crowd for the most part doesn't watch these reviews. Apple makes their phones for people who don't want to think. Pleasing thinking people won't usually make much money.
Abnormal Mezzer well you use it for mobile games or whatever but most important for later iOS and for generally using it longer because apps will over time use more cpu and ios will also use more of it but also Apple iPhones have more than double as long support than all android phones ever will so that cpu will make sense if you use your phone with iOS (5years) while android only has 2years software support so i see a benefit that you don’t have to buy a new phone every 2years sooooo
Timothy J. Holloway so you are saying that only dumb people have much many and spend it carelessly on iPhone, I’m going ahead and putting it on my list of the dumbest things I’ve ever heard
The extra 2 LTE antenna bands are required for 4x4 MIMO. Unfortunately, the ideal design for 4x4 MIMO is to create as much spatial diversity as possible (basically set the antennas as far apart as possible). The smaller bands correspond to the mid and high LTE bands. No one else does this - not Samsung, LG, Google and all other CAT-15/16 and higher devices.
I've been using the iPhone XS Max for a while and I love it. I decided to keep it and not upgrade to the iPhone 11 Pro Max. There really is very little differences and there is a big price difference. I recommend it in 2020.
Pixel proved that you can use machine learning and a.i to capture stunning photos from ur phone .. Why is nobody learning and instead challenging each other with more and more cameras on the phone
Ryan Najam his work is definitely not “hard” But of course tech reviewers get paid for reviewing tech. The problem is that most of the reviewers are not honest and won’t tell you the truth
Kog Block being TH-camr is hard life. It's not about picking a camera and just recording. There is no easy job in this world. He got here through his hard work and constant improvement in the quality of his videos.
Never gonna happen with Apple flagship phones anymore, Apple doesn’t go backwards if it doesn’t break. Apple obly switched back to Magic keyboard because they got sue for butterfly keyboard
@@Toyeboy89 That's a legit point 🤣 but I'm sure the Pocophone will survive the urine cuz it's splash resistant, The certication comes from p2i, a company that uses a nano coating process to provide water resistance.
I love watching older tech videos that include the rumors about upcoming tech that hadn’t been released yet to see which ones of them came true, like the S10 finger print sensor under the glass rumor he mentioned in this video
Definitely my favorite review channel, such good content, great detail, and your video production is so sharp and vivid and well put together. Setting the bar high. Much appreciation and respect 👊🏻
@@egbtech8911 it looks horrible. It's so much better to look at phones whose next versions' chins get progressively slimmer. The notch is a flaw. And btw from the same Android you hate so much, look at vivo nex. Completely bezelless and in display fingerprint scanner. Lets see your Apple pull that off in the next 20 years
I’ve been watching you for about four years now, so I trust your review above the others. I bought the XS because I had the note 8 and got tired of the big phone after a year, I’ve had mine for three weeks and I don’t really have any complaints other than the notch, which only gets annoying when you play certain games full screen, other than that it fits in my hand like I wanted and does everything my Android did and more with less, so my hats off to you sir, I had to switch operating systems after many years as an Android user.
@@smokingzombie4880 so im guessing you think this is expesnive? Not at all bud. This is called overpriced. On the Android side there are not only company and os battles but also segement battles....and budget phones.....yeah no not the under $150 you get from TracFone and stuff...talking unlocked from other companies....those are really good for the price and question the real use of a phone that costs 1k more.
@@smokingzombie4880 Calling a rehash of a phone that released last year "the holy grail of phones". Cool, you can go support bad business practices while ignoring a competitive market with much better value products because of pointless brand loyalty. I'll buy an iPhone over an android in a heartbeat if the iPhone X actually sold at a reasonable price, too bad it doesn't.
I’ve just read through various comments, mostly Apple-supporting replies to genuine comments about how much Apple is ripping us off. Now, this isn’t a new concept for us, Apple have done it for years. Although being ripped off could be subjective, particularly if you don’t use many of the product features. I switched to Apple when the iPhone 4 was released, since then I’ve had fairly regular upgrades. Each year the new product took the price of last years product, with the old one being knocked down in price until phased out. That was until the iPhone X was released. I’m baffled at how the iPhone X gives Apple the leverage to charge so much more? It’s a new year, new tech, and should be about the same price as the previous years flagship. I think it was a test. A test to see how much consumers were willing to pay for a new design. Remember, the iPhone 4 was a brand new design over the 3GS, but the price wasn’t inflated by 50% (or so). 512gb in a phone is quite extreme, particularly with the advent of cloud storage. But, £1449 for a phone with this amount of storage is almost the same price as a current line MacBook. That’s just plain crazy. What it has done, though, is pave the way for hugely inflated iPad prices due any day now. Again, there’s no reason for a price hike based on my analogy above, it’s a new year, new products, old flagship prices should remain. But they won’t, you mark my words. Those ‘complaining’ and being told ‘well don’t buy them then’ are missing the point. The people now complaining are the ones who love Apple products, the ones who have spent thousands upon thousands over the years who are now being thanked by these ridiculous prices. £1449 for a phone. Just repeat that back to yourself. The iPhone 8 Plus, which incidentally is the one I use and won’t be upgrading again for quite some time, is kind of old for 2018. It’s price should reflect that, with the X and XS/XS Max taking its place at similar prices to the 8. It took days for Apple to run out of stock of the new phones for 2018 after release. Days. It used to take just hours, if that. So yeah, I agree with the complaints, and so should you. If you don’t, you’re part of the reason for yearly price increases to come. We all know Apple’s pricing is premium, but not this year, this year they’re taking the p**s out of you.
Couldn't agree more... the reason for the price hike is all the people who're still willing to buy a phone at that price. I could buy a bike for that sorta price. lol (FYI I had an 8Plus too, but i sold it to buy an android)

@@joual9299 only 3 times less? Jerryrigeverything pointed out on his Note 9 "review" that Samsung has squeezed more features into the bottom of the phone chassis than apple has in their entire ecosystem XD
Almost 2000 dollar phone? Bullshit.

I have this phone since october 2018 and it still works like a charm. The only thing is the battery that has degraded a bit, but still do-able.
September 2023: still going strong with this phone. Yes the battery is still a thing, but it never fails.

Mkbhd, I didn't even watch the video and the comments are telling me the story already. It's not the price that is the maddening factor, most of the people can buy the phone. It's just that how apple brainwashes people to buy these phones with no significant features at all for a day to day user. I mean really??? Are those super tiny features worth even upgrading even if this phone sells at same price as previous ones? Also this iPhone launch has exposed many TH-camrs as apple fan boys, who straight up ignore iPhones obvious flaws : no new features and ridiculous price.

The 512 GB iPhone XS Max is already $2000 in Canada.
Yup - $1999 + TAX in Canada for the 512 GB model. Sad to say that even the base iPhone XS Max costs about the same up here as a 13 inch (non touch bar) MacBook Pro!
Because of inflation and taxes probably
I'm going to a XS from a 5S in around 3 weeks. The 5S was my first phone. Got it for my 13th birthday, 5 years and 2 months ago. I know it'll be a huge difference and a decent learning curve. I can imagine that I'll spend hours just trying to find all the things 3D touch can do, and I'll probably spend just as long just marvelling at the camera and screen upgrades.
It's kinda funny. I'll be going from the first iPhone with a fingerprint scanner to the second one to have FaceID.
Jake 3752 I'm im the same boat. Been holding on to my 5s for so long. Getting the xs next week, I'm very excited!
I'm receiving mine next week as well... but I have an iPhone 5😂
Christianna Moss Saaaaaaame. I'm graduating high school and it's my graduation gift. Hopefully we'll get over to the store sometime next week, as the ceremony's Wednesday - I'm actually much more excited for the phone than the walk lol, public school has been nasty and I just want to be done. I'm sick of running iOS 10. I can't update, since I have only 11.83 GB to use and I constantly only have like 100 MB open, so there's a lot of apps I can't use anymore for compatibility
Jake 3752 congrats on graduating! Glad you are getting out of there, and that you can get a new phone. You can get a fresh start now. Yes, worrying about storege is a pain. I have the 16gb and able to update but I had to delete a ton of apps. It's alright for minimalist usage now. Hopefully we won't have to worry about storage for a few years now 😅

I typically swim at 1.25m depth so this phone is perfect for me! 🏊♂️
Chris D still don’t try to swim with it, it is not recommended
i mean the thing is sure you could go swim at a lake or something with your phone, but it doesn't float. Sure its waterproof but when you lose it in the lake its gone anyway XD. But sure its waterproof but its only really water proof in fresh water.
Marques didnt explain IP rating properly .. IP 67 is meant to be splash proof or quick dunk in the water without any damage while IP 68 which is what this phone is rated means it is waterproof up to 1.5 m under water for 30 mins which should be fine if u want to take ur phone to the pool without worries .
P.S
My friend who had an older iphone 7 which is only rated IP 67 and he immersed in flowing water near a lake and froze his phone ..lucky for him he still had warranty for accidental damage..
Not waterproof. Water resistant. Different things. Look it up. advi sesh
@@kirHaz as of now IP 68 is the best thing that comes close to water proofing ur phone at limited depth of water and for limited time . of course true meaning of water proof means how long it stays under water shouldnt matter
The asymmetrical speaker holes really drive me nuts, haha. I also can't help but think that the cases not working on both phones is an intentional thing from Apple to sell more cases. :\
I mean, they work, it's just as tight as fit as with last year's X. I'm pretty sure a couple of person won't mind that at all.
Totally, but apple tends to do little things like that, but yeah, some may not care.
Well nobody is going to upgrade from an x to the xs.
Your probably right

Agreed.
Yusuf Hassim what is wrong with this phone beside the price tag?
The fact that it's a clone of last year's phone...
Aschel Perera did he not practically imply that the entire video
@@ashyp3761 and it has a big fucking notch that is useless and shouldn't exist in 2018 while everyone (even apple) wants to make infinity displays with no borders. They force you to use a slow and inefficient technology (face unlock) that takes up a lot of screen space while we could have an iPhone with only a front camera and every sensor underneath the display. Just take a look at Oppo phones.
To all those people who said that he is biased towards Apple for not criticising the same design, no headphone dongle etc. -
He ain't biased. When all of the critics have complained the same design for Note 9, he didn't complain. He said it was in fact the best Android phone. So get your facts correct. He ain't biased.

Crucial Muzic Just a pr3cautionary measure for if you drop it in water. But I definitely appreciate splash protection that allows me to take it into the shower and take pictures in the splash zone.
I’ve been swimming with my iPhone, since I don’t know when?:)
Neither do I... WTF is wrong with Apple???
it’s definitely a life saver when you need it. I have an iPhone 7+, the first iPhone to have water resistance, and I do swim with it occasionally, but I also dropped it in oil once when changing the oil on my car and I just pulled it out and washed it and it was fine.
i actually do swim with my phone sometimes. So there is that :)

@@slimestoneexpert9804 but what do you do with all that power
Abnormal Mezzer well you use it for mobile games or whatever but most important for later iOS and for generally using it longer because apps will over time use more cpu and ios will also use more of it but also Apple iPhones have more than double as long support than all android phones ever will so that cpu will make sense if you use your phone with iOS (5years) while android only has 2years software support so i see a benefit that you don’t have to buy a new phone every 2years sooooo
Timothy J. Holloway so you are saying that only dumb people have much many and spend it carelessly on iPhone, I’m going ahead and putting it on my list of the dumbest things I’ve ever heard
The extra 2 LTE antenna bands are required for 4x4 MIMO. Unfortunately, the ideal design for 4x4 MIMO is to create as much spatial diversity as possible (basically set the antennas as far apart as possible). The smaller bands correspond to the mid and high LTE bands. No one else does this - not Samsung, LG, Google and all other CAT-15/16 and higher devices.

Queue the butthurt Samsung fanboys now:
So what exactly does this mean and how does it affect the average layman iPhone user. Are talking about when you are using 4G?
I've been using the iPhone XS Max for a while and I love it. I decided to keep it and not upgrade to the iPhone 11 Pro Max. There really is very little differences and there is a big price difference. I recommend it in 2020.
Also apple seem to have found the right blur filter for the fake bokeh because it looks a lot more realistic than before

Gustavo Gutierrez i honestly can see apple doing this but i doubt that’s the reason why on this phone
the sensor has an upgrade along with bigger pixels, so of course it's going to differ by a millimetre or so you fucking idiot.
Will it completely not fit (like buttons and stuff) or is it just less snug by the camera?

On the Android side there are not only company and os battles but also segement battles....and budget phones.....yeah no not the under $150 you get from TracFone and stuff...talking unlocked from other companies....those are really good for the price and question the real use of a phone that costs 1k more.
on the contrary, really rich people looks at value than money, tons of research have confirmed this, watch as sales plunge on this iPhone
@@smokingzombie4880 Calling a rehash of a phone that released last year "the holy grail of phones". Cool, you can go support bad business practices while ignoring a competitive market with much better value products because of pointless brand loyalty. I'll buy an iPhone over an android in a heartbeat if the iPhone X actually sold at a reasonable price, too bad it doesn't.
Eh even price aside I'd rather use Android devices.
I’ve just read through various comments, mostly Apple-supporting replies to genuine comments about how much Apple is ripping us off.
Now, this isn’t a new concept for us, Apple have done it for years. Although being ripped off could be subjective, particularly if you don’t use many of the product features.
I switched to Apple when the iPhone 4 was released, since then I’ve had fairly regular upgrades. Each year the new product took the price of last years product, with the old one being knocked down in price until phased out. That was until the iPhone X was released. I’m baffled at how the iPhone X gives Apple the leverage to charge so much more? It’s a new year, new tech, and should be about the same price as the previous years flagship.
I think it was a test. A test to see how much consumers were willing to pay for a new design. Remember, the iPhone 4 was a brand new design over the 3GS, but the price wasn’t inflated by 50% (or so).
512gb in a phone is quite extreme, particularly with the advent of cloud storage. But, £1449 for a phone with this amount of storage is almost the same price as a current line MacBook. That’s just plain crazy.
What it has done, though, is pave the way for hugely inflated iPad prices due any day now. Again, there’s no reason for a price hike based on my analogy above, it’s a new year, new products, old flagship prices should remain. But they won’t, you mark my words.
Those ‘complaining’ and being told ‘well don’t buy them then’ are missing the point. The people now complaining are the ones who love Apple products, the ones who have spent thousands upon thousands over the years who are now being thanked by these ridiculous prices. £1449 for a phone. Just repeat that back to yourself.
The iPhone 8 Plus, which incidentally is the one I use and won’t be upgrading again for quite some time, is kind of old for 2018. It’s price should reflect that, with the X and XS/XS Max taking its place at similar prices to the 8.
It took days for Apple to run out of stock of the new phones for 2018 after release. Days. It used to take just hours, if that.
So yeah, I agree with the complaints, and so should you. If you don’t, you’re part of the reason for yearly price increases to come. We all know Apple’s pricing is premium, but not this year, this year they’re taking the p**s out of you.
Well said.
Couldn't agree more... the reason for the price hike is all the people who're still willing to buy a phone at that price. I could buy a bike for that sorta price. lol (FYI I had an 8Plus too, but i sold it to buy an android)
They will have more profit or less profit. As simple as that.
