Loving it so far,Face ID works really well but like the guy above I keep trying to press the button

Messing around on my new Max, absolutely loving it. Didn’t get on with the X last year as the screen was too small but apple have nailed it this year

Yep. Last year I went from the 7+ to the X, loved the X but really missed the bigger form factor. The XS Max is perfect.

The swipe up from the bottom gesture that replaces the button, feels so much more faster and smoother. It’s so simple yet so brilliant.

So big the max compared to my x. Not sure which size I prefer

 

[Combat Fighter]

So has the UI real estate problem been fixed then?

I am still undecided too. Loving the max for it better keyboard size etc I use to love the plus but it seem I’ve grown onto the X. Will give it a few days see if I adjust if not it goes back

Only frustrating issue - not iPhone Xs specific to be fair - is Messages in iCloud seem to take forever to sync.

I've noticed that too, tis annoying

I’ve gone iPhone 8+ to Xs and I love it. I know most seem to be going the other way but I’m liking the ability to reach more of the screen and fit it in my pockets. Can’t decide if the Lavender Grey case is a little too feminine though.

I've got an iPhone 6, had a 3/4 before that so its time to make an upgrade.

I was gonna get the XS but maybe I should just get the XS Max for extra battery life and better phone.

Is the camera and performance a big improvement over iPhone 6, I assume the price is same everywhere, so just find somewhere with stock and grab one? I am with 02 so shall just put my SIM into it, don't want a contract just want to buy the unit upfront.

Anyone got any photos they can post up taken with XS Max camera?

 

[Phemo]

It'll be a huge step up over a 6 that's for sure. Camera was a big step up even from the 6 to the 7, let alone taking into account all the incremental upgrades since then so you should be happy with it. Specs of XS and XS Max are exactly the same but a longer lasting battery is a big part of my reason for considering the Max too. Price does indeed seem to be the same everywhere.

I had a play in the Apple store with the Max. When I put my 6s next to it, it didn’t seem that much bigger, and I started thinking maybe I should go for that instead of the Xs. However, as soon as I picked it up, it was clear that it was too big for my girly hands.

The Xs is just right, very similar size to the 6s but with more screen — I really like it so far.

 

[Rooky007]

Didn’t realise battery last longer on max how much longer.

For £99 more it good value extra screen size and better battery. I can’t work out this duel sim???

 

[BeeP]

Why doesn’t the screen rotate on home pages now?
Is it just me?

I found that too but strange

OK shall just grab an Xs Max then.
Can I just remove the SIM from my 6 and put it in the new one and it work?

How do I get my photos, videos, logins, etc. over to the new one?

 

[UberTiger]

Backup to iCloud remotely or iTunes locally, then restore to the new phone.
Yep, straight swim swap should work.

Cheers best get iTunes installed then, not used that for years.

It's one of these annoying Apple things, there is no manual sync button! But oddly on macOS there is in the Messages app but it doesn't do anything
