Smart HDR. New secondary frames, a faster sensor and the powerful A12 Bionic chip bring more highlight and shadow detail to your photos.

Larger and deeper pixels. A new sensor creates a better image fidelity, greater colour accuracy and reduced noise in low-light shots.

Enhanced bokeh effect. Portrait mode photos look even more professional thanks to a sophisticated background blur.

All-new Depth Control. Now you can adjust the depth of field in portraits you shoot.

And this. iPhone Xs delivers LTE Advanced for superfast download speeds.5 And up to 512GB of storage, making this Apple’s highest-capacity iPhone yet.

No other phone is like iPhone. Every decision that goes into iPhone makes it stand apart. From the way it’s made, to the way privacy and security are built in from the start, to the way Apple responsibly recycles it.
