To be fair IOS 12 made my 8 run faster, but created other annoying bugs. My imessages show the same person listed twice, for example. Delete that one string of messages and it says the other string with the same name is "unknown". A reboot seems to fix it for a bit then it comes back.

Has anyone in this thread had a charging issue or other performance issue with THEIR actual phone?
I have the Xs Max and it's been great, just like every other iPhone I've had.

Like all the haters, you’re confusing isolated issues with poor QA. Their QA is AMAZING and I’m shocked there aren’t more issues with the volume of premium devices they ship. They support their devices when there are issues. The only XS issues now are some isolated LTE connectivity speed complaints, WiFi which was addressed, charging which was addressed and didn’t only impact XS, and some have complained the smoothing on the front camera is too aggressive. Again, Apple is high profile. You reading a story or reading 50 people on a forum say their LTE speed is worse than their iPhone does not make an international issue. I guarantee you if there was a hardware issue with the antennae, this issue could not and would not be “swept under the rug.” Apple is too high profile, too many people use their stuff, and their customers will complain until it’s resolved. These issues simply are not affecting enough users to matter on a large scale. Apple is an amazing company. You aren’t worth $1.1T without delighting your customers and crushing your competition. Get out of the weeds. |

I will agree that in terms of phones; its amazing what Apple did. In 2006, they did not make a single phone and 5 years prior to that they were about to go bankrupt. Today they are one of the most valuable companies in the world that are sitting on 100 Billion in cash. The way they integrated all of the features in a phone and simplified everything is something no one else has been able to do and revolutionized the smart phone market...
On the inverse; I think they are currently taking shortcuts. Its the nature of the game when you get this big; quality will fall. My ios12 update has again caused issues on my X and certain GUI changes that have been made have ruined the phone. The team behind facetime should not be allowed to even code a calculator. |

Your experience with iOS 12 as being the evidence for them taking “shortcuts” is totally irrelevant and the wrong approach. The numbers say iPhone has never been more in demand as people are willing to pay more and more for these devices. iOS 12 has been almost universally praised for resurrecting older devices and running smoother/faster than ever. Go to the Genius Bar if you still have issues with your X. I use an X with iOS 12 and no “GUI Changes” were made that could have ruined your phone. Utterly ridiculous. |

My company just got a number of us in IT test Xs devices for future rollout. I have to say the Max is a definite upgrade over the 8+. The screen is much larger but the phone is just slightly smaller than the 8+. It also seems to pop more, maybe because of the pixel density or color saturation, I’m not sure yet. FaceID is so fast it’s like you don’t even have a passcode. Fortunately we got a corporate discount so are not paying $1k for these. I think Verizon is already offering price discounts to consumers so it may make it more palatable.

I just got a xs max and the only issue I have is when I use this site in landscape and try to scroll the screen jumps around and makes it unusable IMO. Portrait mode it’s so damn small I find myself having to stop and make it bigger to read and type. I keep having to move the green around to make it work for me.
Maybe I am doing something wrong but I didn’t have this issue with my 8+ using landscape. |

Obviously the 6S Plus is a bit outdated, but the new XS Max is a huge improvement. If you're on the fence on upgrading or pulling the trigger on one of the new ones, my vote is to do it, you'll be glad you did. |

Look at the secondary market to see how well iPhones hold value versus Android competitors. Apple supports devices back to the iPhone 5. More secure, better support, better resale value, better build quality, etc. No clue what you’re talking about on battery life. You just made a statement. Great source. |
