Which one is best for you?
By contrast, iPhone XS Max adopts OLED technology for a Super Retina HD 6.5-inch screen display. That’s a full inch bigger than the screen of its predecessor, iPhone 8. iPhone SE’s single rear 12-megapixel camera and 7-megapixel front camera have a range of Portrait Lighting effects, including bokeh and Depth Control for better detail and focus. iPhone XS Max boasts dual 12-megapixel Wide and Telephoto cameras, and a 7-megapixel True Depth front camera for Face ID unlock, as well as all the same Portrait features as iPhone SE.
In terms of processors, iPhone SE has an A13 Bionic Chip – a slightly faster chipset than iPhone XS Max’s A12 processor. iPhone XS Max boasts a more powerful battery and is available with more storage.
