About the Apple iPhone XS Max

The Apple iPhone XS Max launched alongside the standard iPhone XS in September 2018 as Apple's first genuinely large-screen flagship, pairing a 6.5-inch Super AMOLED display with the same 7nm A12 Bionic chip and dual 12MP camera system. Its bigger 3,179 mAh battery gave it the best battery life of any iPhone at the time, and the extra screen real estate made it well suited to media, multitasking and one-handed typing users who wanted more room. Build quality was excellent, with a stainless steel frame and glass front and back rated IP68 for water and dust resistance. Nearly eight years on, the same story applies to every phone from this generation: Apple capped it at iOS 18 and it no longer receives new features, only occasional security patches. The screen, camera and battery still hold up reasonably well for light daily use, but anyone buying one today should think of it as a large, cheap secondary phone rather than a long-term primary device, given its narrowing app compatibility.

Frequently asked questions

Is the Apple iPhone XS Max worth buying in 2026?
Only as a budget secondary phone or for someone who mainly wants a big screen for calls, texts and browsing. The iPhone XS Max is capped at iOS 18 with no further feature updates, so newer apps will gradually stop supporting it fully. It is not a sensible choice as a primary phone today.
Does the Apple iPhone XS Max support 5G?
No, the iPhone XS Max only supports 4G LTE. Apple did not introduce 5G to the iPhone lineup until the iPhone 12 in 2020.
How long will the Apple iPhone XS Max receive software updates?
The iPhone XS Max's final major software version is iOS 18, and it was excluded from iOS 26 in 2025. Apple continues to release occasional security-only patches for critical vulnerabilities, but no further feature updates are coming.
How good is the Apple iPhone XS Max battery?
The 3,179 mAh battery was the largest in any iPhone at launch and remains capable of a full day of light use even now, though capacity naturally degrades with age on units that have not had the battery replaced. It supports 15W wired fast charging and 7.5W Qi wireless charging.
Is the Apple iPhone XS Max camera any good?
The dual 12MP wide and telephoto camera system was among the best available in 2018 and still takes solid photos in good light, with 2x optical zoom and Smart HDR processing. It falls noticeably behind current iPhones in low light and video stabilisation, which have both improved significantly since.
Should I get the Apple iPhone XS Max or the iPhone XS?
Both share the same A12 Bionic chip, camera system and software ceiling, so the decision is really about size and battery life. The XS Max has a larger 6.5-inch display and a bigger 3,179 mAh battery, while the standard XS is lighter at 177g and easier to use one-handed. Compare Apple iPhone XS deals.
