September is usually the month in which the new iPhone comes to light, so that it can be sold in conjunction with the approaching Christmas season (always very profitable for Apple's business). Also this year the month of September gave not one, not two but 3 new iPhones, which are candidates to be the heirs of the iPhone X: iPhone Xs, Xs Max and iPhone Xr .
But what are the differences between the various models and what will be the selling prices ">
It starts from the iPhone Xs (left), which presents a complete and refined design in a 5.8-inch display (with the inevitable notch at the top, now the trademark of the new Apple), passing through the larger model the iPhone Xs Max (central), which has a 6.5-inch display (really a "padellone") and the more "cheap" iPhone Xr model (on the right), which however has a slightly larger screen than the model Standard Xs: The iPhone Xr has a 6.1-inch screen.
Another particularity that immediately catches the eye is the rear camera: on the more expensive models (Xs and Xs Max) it is in Dual Camera mode, while on the economic model it is single.
The body materials are also different: on the iPhone Xs and Xs Max, steel (more resistant and heavier) was used, while on the iPhone Xr there is aluminum (much lighter, which has now become the least "precious" metal between high-end devices).
iPhone Xr wants to retrace the path (not lucky at the time) of the iPhone 5c in 2013, offering a huge variety of different colors for the body: the youngest will appreciate.
2) Hardware
What are the hardware innovations?
Let's start with the screens: on the top models (Xs and Xs Max) it is a high definition OLED screen, one of the best made so far for a smartphone in terms of colors and contrast; on the other hand, only a normal LCD screen is available on the Xr model, therefore with much lower yield and contrast (although still defensible when compared to many low-end models).
The iPhone XS Max has an enhanced battery compared to other models and is IP68 certified, so it can remain up to two hours underwater without fear of breaking (which is very welcome if we use this expensive smartphone in a sudden rain).
As CPU we find on all models the A12 Bionic chip ; Always a flagship for iPhone devices, this new processor marks the transition to 7 nanometer technology for transistors and offers 40% higher performance, despite being optimized to consume less than the previous chips.
The Dual camera is 12 Megapixel per sensor (on the Xr there is only one), and therefore allows you to take much more beautiful and creative photos (the Apple Camera app takes care of the rest).
On the notch we find the 7 Megapixel front camera for taking selfies.
Another novelty concerns the amount of internal memory that can be used: on the high-end models we can also choose the model with 512GB (a small hard disk in practice!), While as a basic capacity we will have 64 GB.
On the iPhone Xr many hardware features are preserved (like the CPU), but some have inevitably been removed (otherwise the price could not drop): for example, the 3D Touch is no longer present (which is instead exploitable on the Xs and Xs Max) and memory cuts are 64, 128 and 256 GB.
3) Operating system
The operating system is always iOS, which will be updated to take full advantage of the features of the new hardware offered by these new iPhones.
In addition to being faster, the addition of new emojis, new memojis, new camera filters, the new notification system, the new do not disturb mode, the Screen Time and FaceTime functionality with group chats should be noted .
Other news will certainly be revealed or added with subsequent updates of the operating system (usually at least 3-4 years of updates).
4) Selling price
And we come to the part that most interests users: how much the new iPhones cost ">
5) Conclusions
Those who love the products of the Apple ecosystem will surely line up at the launch and will buy their new iPhone without any problem, despite the high price increase: fashion and appearance can be bought by weight, until someone will spend these numbers without problems prices will only go up (next step to break the 2000 € wall).
For those who have an eye on the right balance between price and features offered, the 64 GB iPhone Xr is clearly the most convenient and interesting, which could become a real best-buy: price in line with the competition (indeed sometimes even cheaper than many Samsung and Google Pixels just released), all the main Apple features without sacrificing practically anything.
For those who can not do without a top model Apple we recommend the 256GB iPhone Xs model, which seems to be the most balanced among with a sale price above € 1000.
iPhone Xs Max looks more like a tablet than a smartphone, adapting to bigger and bigger screens could be difficult.
It should be remembered that with the release of the new iPhones it becomes convenient to buy a used and refurbished iPhone of the previous model.
