To refresh your memory, the iPhone XS is an incremental update of the iPhone X. While it shares a similar exterior, it runs on a newer 7nm Apple A12 Bionic Chip. It still retains a dual 12MP setup but it actually uses a new camera sensor that has a larger 1.4-micron pixel size for better low light performance. Apple has also added depth-control for portrait mode as well as a new Smart HDR feature.
The iPhone XS Max is their larger alternative with a 6.5″ screen and it also comes with a larger 3,174mAh battery. You can learn more about the iPhone XS and iPhone XS Max in our recap post. If you haven’t seen it yet, do check out our iPhone XS hands-on video below:
The official Malaysian release should be happening soon and we think it could go on sale as early as mid-October based on last year’s release. Several telcos have started teasing the iPhone XS on their website and both models have also gotten the green light from SIRIM. – Soya Cincau
