Main idea of the article:
How all of the iPhone (X, XS, and XS MAX) are faster than the older iPhones even the
camera quality is already adding “filters” to the picture.
Information presented: List at least five points made by the author
1. The iPhone XS Max has the longest batter life in iPhones, it can last up to 314min
which is 5hrs and 14min.
2. The camera quality is supposedly in HDR and the video quality is in HD and can
record up to 1080p video at 60fps but the article also states that when taking a selfie
the camera “retouches” the picture automatically.
3. The iPhone XS MAX is about 0.2ounces heavier than the iPhone 8 plus which is 7.3
ounce.
4. There was a concern about there being “ghost effects” on iPhones when you see
something that is on the screen and not on your phone. Apple has come out with an
article on how to avoid is as much as possible.
5. On all iPhone x’s the cellular and Wi-Fi speed has increased. They tested download
speeds on Wi-Fi and it increased 45 percent versus just on cellular data Verizon speed
was 40% better on the iPhone XS MAX in San Francisco.
