Phone XS and iPhone XS Max (stylized as iPhone Xs and iPhone Xs Max, Roman numeral "X" pronounced "ten") are smartphones designed, developed and marketed by Apple Inc. It is the twelfth generation of the iPhone, succeeding the iPhone X as the flagship devices in the iPhone series.[3] They were announced on September 12, 2018 alongside the lower-priced iPhone XR at Steve Jobs Theater in Apple Park, Cupertino by Apple CEO Tim Cook, with pre-orders beginning September 14, 2018 and official release on September 21, 2018.[4]

The XS has a design similar to the X but includes upgraded hardware like the A12 Bionic chip, built with a 7 nanometer process.[5] It also features a 5.85-inch (149 mm) OLED screen and contains dual 12-megapixel rear cameras and a 7-megapixel front-facing camera. The XS Max features the same hardware and cameras, but has a larger 6.46-inch (164 mm) OLED screen and larger battery.

The XS and XS Max are rated IP68 for dust and water resistance under IEC standard 60529, with Apple specifying a maximum depth of 2 meters and up to 30 minutes of submersion.[6] This is an improvement in water resistance over the iPhone 8 and X.[7] Apple has performed tests in various liquids including chlorinated water, salt water, tea, wine, beer and juices.

Due to the release of the XS, XS Max and XR, the X was discontinued, meaning that it had the shortest ever tenure as flagship device in the history of the iPhone with a shelf life of only 10 months.

At release the XS and XS Max had starting prices of US$999/GB£999/€1149/RMB8699 and $1099/£1099/€1249/RMB9599 respectively in the United States/United Kingdom/Germany/China.

Internationally, the XS and XS Max will support dual SIMs through a Nano-SIM and an eSIM. In mainland China, Hong Kong and Macau, the XS Max will come with a dual Nano-SIM tray (and no eSIM) while the XS will support a single Nano-SIM. As the XS does not have a dual Nano-SIM tray, eSIM is supported only in Hong Kong and Macau but not in mainland China.[8][9][10]
