- 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
