Apple just announced three big, brand new iPhones at an event held Wednesday at the Steve Jobs Theater on its Cupertino campus, and none of them are made for people with small hands.
Apple’s flagship phones this year are the 5.8-inch iPhone Xs, an upgrade to last year’s $1,000 iPhone X, and the iPhone Xs Max (seriously), a larger version of the iPhone Xs with a 6.5-inch display.
Both phones come with FaceID and a big, bright, edge-to-edge display with no home button. They have OLED screens that are brighter and higher quality than the display on last year’s iPhone 8, a significantly faster and more efficient processor, a better camera with a more powerful sensor and better HDR, and a longer-lasting battery.
Besides the size, they don’t look any different from last year’s iPhone X — but you can now get them in a sleek new gold finish, in addition to silver and Space Gray.
Apple’s third new iPhone, the iPhone Xr, is a lower-cost version of the iPhone Xs. At 6.1 inches, it’s bigger than the Xs, but it comes with an LCD display — the same screen Apple has used on the iPhone 8 and every iPhone before it — instead of the higher quality OLED displays on the iPhone X. It also has aluminum edges instead of the stainless steel ones that the other iPhone X models have.
Unlike the iPhone Xs and Xr Max, the Xr comes in a bunch of funky colors — so if you want a coral or a yellow iPhone, you already know which one to get.
It also shares the same, beefy new processor with its pricier siblings.
Here's a little hands-on preview of how the Xr's camera works:
The iPhone Xs and Xs Max start at $999 and $1099, respectively, will be available to preorder this Friday, and they’ll ship Sept. 21.
The iPhone Xr will cost you $749 and will be available for preordering Oct. 19.
