In iPhone XS new processor

Changes are not visible from the outside, but it does not mean, that Apple resting on its laurels. The new handset has been equipped with a new six-core processor Apple A12 Bionic supports up 4 GB RAM.

It is used, in particular, in camera applications, in conjunction with the new lenses on the iPhone XS allows you to do much better pictures. certainly, It is noteworthy new Smart HDR mode

The new processor – the best photos

After pressing the shutter button iPhone XS «on the fly" makes a series of photos with a resolution of 12 megapixels, which are then combined into one photo.

By cons should include battery

Battery, which is equipped with iPhone XS, less, than last year. Although the processor is more energy efficient, that would lead to a longer operating time on a single charge, but in practice no change, iPhone X in this case is not worse. The phone can be discharged before the end of the day.

People, who want to use the classic earphones, now you have to buy the adapter.

Should I buy an iPhone XS?

Personally, I use 8 iPhones, who acquired here https://www.istore.ua/catalog/iphone/iphone-8/, and it is not going to change it. But without a doubt answer, This is the best phone, that has ever been proposed by US company. However, you can not hide, he was rated terribly high – especially in the version with Max 6.5-inch display, and in embodiments with more internal memory.

It is worth noting, that Apple has removed this year from its iPhone product portfolio X, but this model is still available in many stores. With regard to the parameters, it does not differ diametrically from the new iPhone XS and much cheaper in terms of cost.

However, iPhone XS is a good choice for all Apple enthusiasts, who do not accept compromises. It is also a model, which should take into account people who decide to replace your old iPhone 8 or 8 Plus.
