Apple has celebrated its most popular Keynote of the year, in which it announces its new terminals and guides us a bit about what is going to be seen in the market during the rest of the year and much of the next. These are the features, price and availability of the new Apple iPhone Xs, iPhone Xs Max and iPhone Xr. We are going to show you everything you need to know about these terminals, including the new version of the "cheap" iPhone that Apple has released and that has a good chance of being a sales success.
iPhone XS and iPhone Xs Max: Everything you need to know
Now the iPhone is more powerful than ever, The processor is the heart of the device, so the iPhone Xs in both editions evolves to A12 Bionic 7 nanometer (eight core). Exactly the same model that will include its older brother the iPhone Xs Plus. In addition, thanks to this new 7-nanometer processor (the first of its kind), the Cupertino company promises autonomy results that are clearly superior to those of its predecessors. the iPhone Xs offers at least (in theory) half an hour more use and screen than the current iPhone X, and the iPhone Xs Max will offer up to 1h 30m longer than the current iPhone X.

Substantial camera improvements and nothing new on the screen
Now we have two 12 MP sensors that offer optical stabilization and aperture f / 1.4 for the upper one and f / 1.8 for the lower one. The same goes for the front cameras, slightly improved, although it remains only 7 MP with aperture f / 2.2.
However, they have opted for improvements through software such as Smart HDR, a portrait mode with more depth capabilities and even a fully manually variable rear aperture system. This at the photography level, however at the recording level we find that the iPhone we find the addition of four microphones that will allow us to record audio in stereo that can later be reproduced, a feature that will give an enormous hearing quality to the recordings we make with our iPhone Xs or Xs Max, by the way, both devices have exactly the same camera.
- IPhone Xs screen: 5,8 Inch Super Retina OLED - Resolution 2.436 x 1.125 pixels, 458 PPI

For its part, the screen that continues to offer a Samsung OLED panel with True Tone environment adaptive technology. We have a resolution of 2.436 x 1.125 pixels that offer a total 458 PPI for the 5,8 ″ model and a resolution of 2.688 x 1.242 pixels that offer exactly the same 458 PPI in the model larger than 6,5 ″. And this is all at the screen level, compatible with all versions of HDR such as HDR10 and Dolby Vision.
Immersive stereo sound and Dual SIM capability
The Cupertino company has now placed two more powerful and better positioned speakers for stereo sound to virtualize an immersive style, and it is that there have been few users who have complained about the "low" quality of the stereo audio present in the previous iPhone X. Now these problems are solved.
On the other hand, a Dual SIM system has been released that will allow us to include a single SIM card in physical format while we can use another one in eSIM format. However, a version fully compatible with two microSIM cards will be sold exclusively in China. Unfortunately, eSIM technology is not yet widespread. However, Apple claims to have patented a dual SIM management system that will foresee possible battery drains due to circumstances of data consumption and coverage.
