The iPhone XS, iPhone XS Max and iPhone XR, Apple’s new iPhones for 2018, are officially here. While the iPhone XS and iPhone XS Max have virtually the same guts, just in two different sizes, the iPhone XR introduces a profound shift in Apple’s strategy by folding its “bargain” phone into the premium iPhone mix.

    Storage options: 64GB, 128GB, 512GB
    IP68 water-resistance rating (2 meters depth; up to 30 minutes in water)
    Battery life: iPhone XS should last 30 minutes longer than iPhone X; iPhone XS Max claims 1.5 hours longer than the iPhone X
    Dual-SIM card support through eSIM technology
    Face ID promises to work faster at unlocking the phones
