iPhone XS, XS Max, X, XR – which one suits me best?

6 October 2018

Apple has introduced many different iPhone models to the market. We’ll tell you what makes iPhone XS, XS Max, X, XR, and iPhone 8 different, so you can make your choice easier.

iPhone XS

The iPhone XS is the successor of the iPhone X. The XS was introduced by Apple in September 2018. In contrast to the iPhone X, the A12 Bionic is a more powerful processor in the XS. The screen has remained the same size. The XS also has a 12 megapixel double camera with wide-angle and telephoto lens on the back, which takes even better pictures than the X camera due to the larger sensor and better aperture values.

If the iPhone X was water-protected to IP67, the iPhone XS is now water-protected to IP68 and can therefore endure not one but two meters deep under water for 30 minutes.

With alao, you can search for the best iPhone deal for you from a variety of mobile operators and determine how much you’re willing to pay once for the device before searching. You can also choose whether you want an iPhone XS with or without a contract. Alao will show you the best offer among mobile operators in Switzerland.

If you’re looking for a bigger screen, you should buy the iPhone XS Max, which has a screen diagonal of 6.5 inches.

How much does iPhone XS cost in Switzerland?

For the iPhone XS, the cheapest version with 64 GB storage capacity is 1199 Swiss francs. (256 GB = 1389 CHF and 512 GB = 1639 CHF)

The prices for the iPhone XS Max are slightly higher: 1299 CHF (64 GB), 1489 CHF (256 GB) or 1739 CHF (512 GB).

iPhone XR

If you are looking for a cheaper iPhone in the Xer series, you can use the iPhone XR. It has a screen diagonal of 6.1 inches. In contrast to the XS models, the XR doesn’t have a dual camera with a wide-angle and telephoto lens. With a resolution of 12 megapixels, the iPhone XR’s camera is still worth seeing. It also complies with IP67 certification and is therefore water-protected for up to 30 minutes at a depth of one meter.

Just like the XS, the XR has the face recognition function for unlocking the device. The A12 chip, which is also installed, promises great performance here as well.

In contrast to the XS, the XR has to do without, among other things, the 4K video function and the OLED screen. The XR only has an LCD screen. In addition, the frame of the XR is made of aluminum; stainless steel was used for the XS.

Radiation (SAR value): 0.99 (at the ear)

How much does iPhone XR cost in Switzerland?

The price for the iPhone XR is 879 Swiss francs with 64 GB storage capacity. (128 GB = 949 CHF and 256 GB = 1069 CHF)

iPhone X

The iPhone X came onto the market in 2017 and was the first iPhone to have an almost borderless screen with a screen diagonal of 5.8 inches. It no longer has a home button and unlocking works via face detection. The built-in dual camera with 12 megapixels each takes fantastic photos.

After the introduction of the successors iPhone XS and XS Max, the Xer is no longer available from Apple. But you can still buy it from some phone providers. See here at alao.ch if there is a suitable offer for you.

If you want a dual camera, you have to choose the iPhone 8 Plus, which with a screen diagonal of 5.5 inches is also larger than the 8th inch.

In addition to the true tone display, the iPhone 8 stands out from its predecessors in particular due to its stronger performance.
