Apple has finally released its new lineup of the iPhone(s). During the exclusive launch event today, Apple unveiled the iPhone Xs Max, iPhone Xs, and the iPhone Xr. The iPhone Xs is the successor of last year’s iPhone X. The iPhone Xr is the successor of the iPhone 8 and iPhone 8 Plus. The third iPhone is a completely new device and it looks like Apple has launched it for a special purpose. I personally suspect the Apple iPhone Xs Max to be a direct competitor to the Galaxy Note 9. The iPhone Xs Max comes in with a 6.5-inch Super AMOLED display which is slightly bigger than the Galaxy Note 9. This is the biggest iPhone that Apple has ever manufactured. The new iPhone is all set to make its space in the phablet market.

The iPhone Xs Max has Apple’s Retina Display. Apple has added its infamous notch once again. The phone comes with a dual rear camera setup. It has a better battery than all the previous iPhone(s). The part that Apple highlighted the most was its chip. The new iPhone handsets are powered by Apple’s A12 Bionic chip coupled with the Neural Engine. Apple calls it the most powerful chip for any smartphone device over. The iPhone Xs Max is packed with a couple of other nice features as well.

So, if you were recently planning of picking up a device with a big display, the Galaxy Note 9 may have been so far. If you still haven’t picked up a phone, you now have one more phone to consider. Before making a purchase, consider taking a look at a specs comparison between the iPhone Xs Max and the Galaxy Note 9.
