  • The last *good* iPhone.

    I'm not an iPhone person myself, but ever since I've been daily driving the iPhone XS, I am thoroughly impressed. I purchased the device in 2018 and other than the battery health being at 76%, I can get pretty around a day out of it as long as I use it strictly for just mobile payments and picture taking, although I have a digital camera for that. The speakers are nothing more than "okay". They have a decent bass response, but vocals are a little too trebly for me. The cameras still hold up pretty well and outdoor pictures have plenty of detail and color. The A12 CPU works great, even fully updated on iOS 18.

    Pros
    • Liquid Retina XDR OLED Panel
    • Great cameras
    • Decent speakers
    • Snappy performance on Apple A12
    • Great quality mics
    • eSIM and Dual SIM
    Cons
    • Poor battery life
    • Speakers are a little too treble-y
    • 64GB isn't much
    • 4GB of RAM is quite lacking
    • LTE isn't that fast, but that may be my coverage.
    • 5Ge is nothing more than a gimmick

What is a Ki score?
Ki is an automatic score based on the specifications and prices of devices. It is calculated using over 200 variables to rank smartphones, tablets and other devices from best to worst.
How do we calculate the Ki?

In this case, to determine the score we evaluate 5 general aspects:

  • Design and screen
  • Hardware and performance
  • Camera
  • Connectivity
  • Battery

Once these 5 factors have been rated, we introduce the price variable. This means that any two devices with the same ratings get a different Ki score for quality vs price.

Even a device objectively worse than another may have a higher Ki score if it has a better price.

Does the Ki score change?

The Ki varies as time goes by. As new devices with better specifications enter the market the Ki score of older devices will go down, always being compensated of their decrease in price.
