iPhone XS Max vs iPhone 6s
Which phone is best for you?
Three years separate the releases of iPhone 6s and iPhone XS Max, and Apple have not rested on their laurels. Constant innovation has led to a phone that is all but unrecognisable as a successor to 2015’s flagship iPhone.
The adoption of OLED technology has not only provided a vivid display with vibrant colours and pin-sharp resolution, but has removed the need for a bezel, enabling an edge-to-edge display on iPhone XS Max that makes the most of the available space, and measures a hefty 6.5 inches – perfect for gamers and film fans.
There have been huge improvements in camera technology too, with the single lens camera on iPhone 6s giving way to iPhone XS Max’s outstanding dual-lens camera with Smart HDR. This impressive new feature offers improved low-light capability, and crisper photos with better contrast.
iPhone 6s remains an excellent phone with premium features, but the new generation of iPhone models represent an entirely different proposition.
