Granted, this is much higher than the 97 scored by the iPhone X, as they remark that the 6.5-inch display iPhone XS Max uses a larger 1.4µm pixels sensor with improved image processing, enabling zero shutter lag and real-time HDR preview.

Apple is quite notorious on their battery and RAM reveal whenever there is a new device released every year annually, but now that we know the real figures, some folks from Tomsguide.com decided to run a battery test on the new iPhone XS and iPhone XS Max.

Apple are rather infamous for not revealing the RAM or Battery tech specs for their devices. Instead we find out from sites like Forbes and GSMArena that that the iPhone XS and iPhone XS Max have 4GB RAM while the iPhone XR will have 3GB of RAM. All of them will utilize Apple’s new 7nm A12 Bionic Chipset with Neural Engine for more AI (Artificial Intelligence) driven features along with dual SIM (nano + eSIM) connectivity.
