There are some issues, though. This is a big phone and I feel that Apple should have done more to better deal with its size. For example, with the Galaxy Note 9, Samsung has used curves to almost disguise the size of the device and make it feel smaller. Related: Best smartphones The iPhone XS Max takes no such tack, and as a result feels thicker and more difficult to manage.

Holding it one-handed has proved an impossible feat for me, and reaching up to pull down the notification panel constantly leaves me with the feeling that I’m going to drop the device. While it’s no bigger than previous Plus-sized iPhones, the larger screen and lack of bezel makes it much trickier to get to parts of the screen. It’s heavy, too: weighing 209g. The XS Max is bulkier than the already weighty iPhone 8 Plus (202g), Samsung Galaxy Note 9 (201g) and OnePlus 6T (185g).

It remains glass, however, and if you were to drop this device on a hard surface it will almost certainly crack. I’d suggest using a case. The review unit I was testing was of the gold hue – an addition that joins the Silver and Space Grey options. It’s different to any gold product Apple has shipped before, with a softer, almost salmon-look on the rear and super-bright, shiny sides. After a week with the phone, I can’t decide whether it’s classy or tasteless.

It has a 70s vibe and wouldn’t look out of place at a disco. The way the gold colouring has been applied to the stainless steel sides makes them a little harder to grip than the silver version.

The XS Max doesn’t have a headphone jack and Apple also no longer includes a dongle in the box to add support for your older wired cans. iPhone XS Max – Display The standout feature on the iPhone XS Max is the display. At 6.5 inches, not only is it the biggest screen Apple has ever included on a phone, but it’s more sizeable than even those that feature in high-profile rivals. It’s larger than the 6.4-inch Samsung Galaxy Note 9, 6.3-inch OnePlus 6, and dwarfs the 5.5-inch display on the iPhone 8 Plus.

Like the iPhone X, the iPhone XS Max ditches LCD screen tech for OLED, and the benefits are immediately obvious. Blacks are deep and inky; colours pop with vibrancy; and viewing angles are excellent. Pair that with an (almost) edge-to-edge style and you’ve got one of the most immersive panels on the market. I’ve already lost countless hours watching Dolby Vision HDR content from iTunes and Netflix, and this isn’t something I’d usually do on a phone.

It’s likely that this phone might replace an iPad the next time I travel by plane. Related: Dolby Vision HDR The display also supports Apple’s favoured DCI-P3 wide-colour gamut and, for the XS and XS Max, can display 60% more dynamic range in photos shot with the device. Brightness has been bumped up next to the iPhone X, too. Where Apple’s display annoys is in the complete lack of customisations on offer. With a Samsung, Sony or LG device, I can tune colours to my personal preference.
