After a long wait and a lot of leaks and rumors, the new iPhone is already among us. Apple has decided to baptize them as iPhone XS, iPhone XS Max, and iPhone XR, and each one comes with its respective peculiarities. The signature leaves the classic terminology that we have seen until the iPhone 8 and follows the path that began a year ago the iPhone X. But it is not only in the name where we find differences.
It is time to put the three new devices of the apple face to face and see what their differences are and what their points in common. Let’s see it carefully because although they are similar, some changes deserve to be pointed out.
