Not in real life performance though. Check out app opening speed tests on YouTube. Xs Max and Note 9 are neck-and-neck, and Pocophone F1 (with its light skin) is actually faster than Xs Max in opening most apps.

am not a big fan of Apple phones specifically or other products generally but I admire Apple. I wish any company besides Apple to make a customer buy a phone blindly and even the price is crazy high. also am very certain that if Apple sold the phone with empty box and the customer should buy the device separately every apple fan will say it's new feature and they are to buy it.

I agree the price is high but I bet it will get updates for 5-6 years of iOS where most android phones will get 2 year if your lucky and lagging behind security patches. Depends how long people keep a phone for a lot of people still use the iPhone 6... I expect this is to get them to upgrade as they will lightly drop it from updates next year as they removed it from the line to buy. Everyone assume’s that this phone is aimed at people that keep a phone for 1 to 2 years.
Granted you could get a iPhone 7.. but Next year they will probs drop that to. So imo it’s for the iPhone users that like a simple iOS and rarely upgrade

No way I'm paying $750 starting for near 720p LCD.

Apple's own recommended solution is to get the 30W USB-C Power Adapter ($49) along with the USB-C to Lightning Cable ($35)
yeah guys just blindly buy buy buy buy.
Give them your money. For an adapter which probably cost less than 10$

Great phone. Affordable.
Looks like it’ll survive a few years as well with its build quality and updates.
Good to see the review recognise Apple’s superb after sales service. This is hugely important to many people when buying a phone and something other makers should implement.

But for everything else, i. e., real life usability, versatility, user experience, customization, file sharing and transfer, camera quality, etc., those android phones massacred the iPhone.

Looks like a great phone. Will sell heaps in markets where the price is no problem.
Shame about all the hate coming in for the review itself but trolling is huge nowadays.
Stick to your guns GSMARENA, you gave an iPhone a positive review and some people can not cope. That is their problem not yours.

Must have been hard, so much research into stereo sound recording, or how to put bigger sensor in a phone. Though all phones lags behind if considering what tech is and was introduced, better sensor tech, 3D stereo, or even loud sound rec/ p20pro hdr, AIS/ raw/OIS/color calibration, so even if iphone faults are most visible/hearable,
May we some day welcome even camera hw shutter(or other dedicated sensors for launching) in most phones, for now sony?

Apple are the biggest rip off merchants ever, when is a phone above 700 dollars a budget device? One day the millions of isheep eyes will open and it will all come crashing down for Apple just like it did with BlackBerry and Nokia, it's just a matter of time. Apple's castle of greed and exploitation won't last forever.
