All Things You Need To Know About The iPhone XS

Each of Apple products has a strong attraction to tech fans, and the iPhone XS is not an exception. Along with the iPhone XS Max, this product was first released on Sep 21 last year. What inside the 2018 smartphone may you not know?

It’s not difficult to look for all details about the Apple iPhone XS on the Internet; however, some of us must be curious about its special points. For example, what can the company’s latest processor – A12 Bionic – do?

Or what is the difference between this handset’s camera and others’ one? Or where in India to buy iPhone XS? All the answers will be given in the following article.

1. Instead of the “Ex Ess”, the letter X should be pronounced “ten”

If you just look at the name of this product, you may pronounce the letter “X” as the “Ex Ess”. However, it’s not exact at all. The correct pronunciation is “Ten Ess”. The similar situation also happens to the iPhone XS Max and the iPhone XR. You should call them “Ten Ess Max” and “Ten Arr”, respectively.

2. Impressively clever camera

The 2018 handset is designed with the latest Apple processor, A12 Bionic, which can allegedly conduct “one trillion operations on every photo you take.” The good news for those who love selfies is its camera can detect bodies and faces much better than the predecessors, as well as improve HDR shots and portraits, and analyze scenes actually impressively.

Also in the iPhone XS, pixel size is considerably improved compared to the iPhone X. Therefore, it can catch the light better and produce less-light images with higher quality.

Apple focuses on improving the depth of pixels in this handset to enhance the ability to autofocus. However, when compared to shots taken by the iPhone X, those by the iPhone XS are not much sharper.

3. What is special about the A12 Bionic processor?

While the A11 processor was enough to make a strong impression on Apple rivals, the A12 Bionic must be something even more outstanding. The power consumption for its cores is 40-50 percent lower than that in previous models, but the performance is 15 percent better.

We can easily realize that apps installed in the handset can launch 30 percent faster than those in other smartphones.

In addition, the latest processor includes a component called “Neural Engine” that is designed to tackle AI tasks and detect faces with Face ID. In terms of the Core ML framework, it helps developers leverage machine learning (ML) with just 1/10^th of the energy consumption, but can reach the speed 9 times faster.

4. Experience Augmented Reality Better

As mentioned in the first part of the article, the iPhoneXS has a lot of attractive new features, for instance, AR Quick Look on the Neural Engine. The new feature is really something you shouldn’t miss, especially in the era when the AR technology is getting more and more popular.

With AR Quick Look, you just need to choose any image from supported 3D objects on the Safari browser, and then the smartphone will show it vividly like in the real world. The feature must suit the taste of almost all of us.

5. 3D Touch is still alive

According to the predictions of many experts, the 3D Touch technology would disappear in Apple’s new products like the iPhone XS. It turned out that they were wrong!!! Both this model and the larger-screened version, the iPhone XS Max, support 3D Touch. Even one day the technology is wiped out, it can’t clearly happen in 2018.

Not all devices are equipped with 3D Touch, and the reasons behind it may be the fact that developers think it’s unnecessary to bring it to other iOS devices. Even so, it is obviously useful, especially for those who like to access favorite features via quick shortcuts.

6. More display size than other iOS models

The iPhone XS sports a 5.8-inch OLED display with a resolution of 2436x1125 pixels. Its water-resistant rating reaches IP68, which means the smartphone belongs to the list of the best waterproof devices at present. Compared to the XS Max, the XS has a lower resolution; however, the number of pixels per inch of both smartphones are equal, resulting in their similar sharpness.

7. The iPhone XS or two-in-one product

As all of us know, both the XS and XS Max are designed with DSDS – Dual Sim Dual Standby. That means owners can use two SIMs including a physical SIM and an eSIM at the same time. In other words, if you often have to contact with many others, the handset must be for you.

At present, not all carriers support eSIM; however, it may not be an issue in the near future. At least, providers plan to introduce a special dual-SIM version in the Chinese market.

8. The smarter Do Not Disturb feature

The Do Not Disturb or DND feature is a good option for Apple users to keep their devices silent at night, and thus, you won’t feel annoyed by messages and notifications. In iOS 12, the feature is even smarter and easier-to-customize.

With the updated DND feature, developers provide users with much more choices such as leaving DND on for 01 hour, until morning/afternoon/evening, until users move to another location, and more.

9. Where to buy the iPhone XS in India?

Users now have many different choices to buy a smartphone. For example, they can go to stores and direct brand distributors or you can look for another choice: search the iPhone XS online with corresponding keys such as buy iPhone XS or iPhone XS buy (both are OK), and buy it on online shopping sites. Some of the most popular sites in India include Amazon, Flipkart, Paytm mall, and Tata CLiQ.

The price of the Apple iPhone XS India may be different from that in other countries. Even in the Indian market, it may vary according to various shopping sites. More particularly, users can buy the new model for Rs 114,890 at Amazon (for the silver variant), Rs 114,900 at Flipkart, Rs 114,890 at Paytm mall, and Rs 102,994 at Tata CLiQ.

For those who are loyal fans of Apple, the iPhone XS India must be a must-have device. If you are not an exception, the article may be helpful for you.
