ON THE BIG SCREEN

At 6.5 inches, Apple’s iPhone Xs Max has the largest screen of any high-performance smartphone on the market. It’s a feature that many techies have fallen in love with. “The Xs Max makes the iPad Mini, which I used to love, redundant; you can easily watch a film on this telephone,” writes Jonathan Margolis for How To Spend It. “Other things I love: after taking a portrait, you can tune the background out of focus to the equivalent of a wide-open f1.4 lens – you’ll be amazed how professional the shots look.” Adds mashable.com: “Don’t be fooled by the ‘S’ label - the iPhone Xs and iPhone Xs Max are the best and most powerful iPhones Apple’s ever made.”
