The iPhone XS Max 256GB combines Apple's premium stainless-steel design with a large 6.5-inch Super Retina OLED display, A12 Bionic chip, Face ID and dual 12MP cameras. The 256GB storage is a major advantage over the 64GB version, giving you considerably more room for photos, videos, apps and other files.
📱 6.5-inch Super Retina OLED Display
The large 6.5-inch OLED display delivers sharp detail, vibrant colors and deep blacks. It's particularly enjoyable for Netflix, YouTube, TikTok, gaming, photos and browsing, giving you a more immersive viewing experience than smaller iPhones.
⚡ A12 Bionic Chip
The A12 Bionic processor provides smooth everyday performance for messaging, social media, browsing, streaming and apps. Despite being an older Apple chip, it remains capable for normal daily smartphone use.
💾 256GB Storage
The 256GB capacity is one of the strongest reasons to choose this version. It gives you substantially more space for high-resolution photos, 4K videos, apps, games, music and documents without constantly having to delete files or manage storage.
📸 Dual 12MP Camera System
The XS Max features a 12MP wide camera and 12MP telephoto camera, allowing 2x optical zoom and Portrait Mode. Optical image stabilization helps reduce camera shake for sharper photos and steadier videos.
🤳 7MP TrueDepth Front Camera
The TrueDepth front camera is designed for selfies, video calls and Portrait Mode. It also works with the Face ID system on a properly functioning device.
🔐 Face ID
Face ID provides secure facial authentication for unlocking the phone and accessing supported apps and services. It makes unlocking the XS Max quick without needing to enter a passcode every time.
🔋 Wireless Charging
The XS Max supports Qi wireless charging, allowing you to charge the phone on a compatible wireless charging pad. Wired charging is handled through the Lightning port.
📡 4G LTE Connectivity
4G LTE provides reliable mobile connectivity for browsing, social media, streaming, video calls and other everyday online activities.
🔊 Stereo Speakers
The built-in stereo speakers provide fuller audio for videos, music, games and calls, making the large display even more useful for media consumption.
💎 Premium Stainless-Steel Design
The glass front and back combined with the stainless-steel frame give the XS Max its distinctive premium feel. The large form factor also makes it a good option for people who prefer bigger phones.
The 256GB XS Max is arguably the more practical version of the XS Max if you intend to keep a lot of content on the phone. You get the same large OLED display, A12 Bionic performance, Face ID and dual-camera system as the 64GB model, but with four times the storage.
That extra space matters if you're someone who takes lots of photos, records videos, downloads games or keeps large WhatsApp and social-media files on the device. You can use the phone without constantly watching your storage fill up.
