[ad_1]

Love at first sight. This seems to be the most repeated comment when it comes to coping with a new iPhone. But Apple has always managed to be the undisputed winner of this corner. With the design inherited from its X model, October 26 begins today the official sale in Chile of its new iPhone XS and XS Max.

The usual question is how new devices can be compared to the previous version. And as always, in the case of Apple, it's worth it. First, with the arrival of XS Max, Apple fulfills the promise of its previous version. Remember that the iPhone X did not have a Plus version, leaving widescreen enthusiasts eager to have a phone with the new Apple design. Although, at the time, they had the iPhone 8 Plus which was a great team.

More than a big screen

However, and to get back to the news, the XS Max is more than a big screen. It's a more powerful team, with more screen and a better camera.

On the design, it is a brother of the X. The outside is identical, except for small changes antennas. Well, he has a new color: gold. Available for XS Max and XS.

Attention, this is not a "brilliant gold". We do not know how, but Apple has still managed to create an elegant and discreet color. If you want to get an idea of ​​its dimensions, XS Max is almost like an iPhone Plus from previous generations.

Almost as big, just wider and heavier (208 grams) but a bit thinner. Being a screen in the front, it looks bigger and uses space better.

The power of new admiral ships

We go with the general characteristics. We are facing a computer with a 6.5-inch Super Retina HD OLED display, with a resolution of 2,688 x 1,242 pixels at 458 dpi. If you do not understand the technical details, we'll say it: if your eyes were already unable to notice the pixels, the effect is almost like looking for "lines" in a liquid. Impossible

Your heart is the most powerful weapon. It is a Bionic A12 chip with 64-bit architecture and 7 nm, Neural Engine. This is present in both XS Max and XS, so we will now talk about both teams in parallel. As for its hearts, the processor is a Hexa Core. The graphic? Apple GPU 4-core.

Again, in practical terms, when you play a video game, with that screen and that power, you'll feel like you're in front of a 4k TV with a new generation console. No problem: there will be no delays, no latencies and the picture will be brighter than ever.

Complete these two 4GB works of art from Ram and the amazing iOS 12. Storage? Additional. Larger versions will have up to 512 GB, and remember that you can always count on the Magic iCloud.

The evolution of your camera, now smarter

In general, the teams present us what we expected from Apple: power, quality and design. But where they really surprised us, it's in the photo section. In trying to summarize, we could only write about this, the bet of the apple was to apply all the power of the "neural engine" in their cameras. We are now faced with a smarter camera.

Anyway, there were software improvements, hardware. All. First of all, we have a 12 megapixel rear camera. One is wide angle and the other is telephoto (f / 1.8 and f / 2.4). Optical zoom, 4k recording and 4 LED flash, complete a team that gives impressive results.

In the case of the front camera, we find 7 megapixels, f / 2.2 recording, 1080p, Retina Flash and 1080p video. How does all this combine to improve his photographs even more? There are two key elements: a larger sensor and image processing pushed by the A12 Bionic chip.

A photograph that looks and feels natural

This is the Apple chip that allows the portrait effect to apply a more refined bokeh. In addition, it allows the depth variation to adjust once you have already taken the picture. Photography time? reduced to being almost imperceptible. Something has also been achieved thanks to the processor.

An improved HDR and the ability to apply portrait mode to selfies with the TrueDepth camera are the perfect finishing touch for this awesome camera. In this regard, it should be noted that the photos of these iPhone have a very natural look. Other teams present powerful cameras, but in the end, the images look extremely retouched. Not here. The result of the image does not seem to be passed by Photoshop, it looks like an instant professional photograph.

Curiously, the A12 chip also allows to apply the effects of portrait mode in real time. Studio lighting, black and white effect, everything. It does not matter that your model moves a little, the artificial intelligence of the team makes it possible to achieve an incredible result.

Improved battery

The battery was somewhat in doubt with the iPhone X. Well, the XS gives 30 minutes more energy and the XS Max up to 1 hour and 30 minutes more. You will not have to worry about that anymore.

Like the previous phone, and thanks to its renewed rear design, both devices can be wirelessly charged. And the loading speed, through this system, is also faster than in its predecessor (verified by ourselves).

Other practical aspects

For its part, iOS 12 brings us a series of new features that shine in these teams, but which we will talk about later. By focusing on the two new flagship products of the block, we can say that our ability to amaze each time reaches a more powerful end with Apple. Both teams are the worthy heirs of the iPhone X and have come to improve with the growing doubt that could have subsisted with the previous team.

The pocket test? Clearly, the XS fits more into the pants pocket than the XS Max and its design is usually a bit slippery.

But calm. If that falls, it is difficult for something to happen to you, although it is always advisable to protect it with a beautiful hull. For the rest, Apple has brought them a wide variety of accessories of this type, with different colors. Keep this in mind.

Although, as far as their prices are concerned, they are once again exceeding the one million Chilean pesos without fear, the equipment has characteristics that speak to us of a robust, powerful and resistant equipment.

Additional data: their materials are much stronger than the iPhone X.

What note do we put? Well, we did not have a lot of time with him in our hands, but we could say that he is becoming the star student of his class. The two brothers. Welcome XS and XS Max!
