Performance – iPhone XS Max (Global)
It is powered by the now-classic A12 Bionic chip, a 7-nanometer piece of silicon that made its debut with this phone. It comes with an A15 Bionic processor which is a 6-core CPU, 4-core GPU and an 8-Core Neural Engine for machine learning. The result is spectacular speed and performance that can zip through everyday tasks as well as more demanding applications with ease.
That helps the phone run smoothly while juggling multiple apps and doing things like gaming, video editing, and AR experiences without feeling sluggish. In addition to the faster speeds, Apple’s also promising an improved energy efficiency from the A12 chips that it reckons will lead to up to 30% longer battery life with no performance hits.
The XS Max is one of the fastest-performing smartphones in benchmark tests and regularly competes with many newer high-end models. The machine learning Neural Engine also contributes to AI-driven features such as Face ID, photo processing, and Siri voice recognition across the iOS user experience.
The graphics achievement in this device is perhaps even more outstanding, allowing top-of-the-range gaming and media development. The thermal management of the device means it can remain cool even under load for longer periods of time, delivering more consistent operation having being pushed continuously.
In the end, there’s little that needs to be said as the iPhone XS Max exists as a flagship performance phone that holds up in today’s 2020 smartphone landscape delivering speed, power and energy efficiency wrapped up nicely.
