iPhone XS and XS Max review roundup: you might want to wait

Early consensus from tech press is these are best iPhones to date. But is it worth holding on for the cheaper iPhone XR?

The first wave of verdicts from select reviewers given early access to Apple's latest iPhone XS and XS Max are live.

Gone are the traditional iPhones of yesteryear, with three devices launched all with a design in line with last year's iPhone X. The iPhone XS is a direct replacement for the 2017 iPhone X, complete with a 5.8in screen costing 999. The iPhone XS Max is a larger, more expensive phone costing 1,099 and with a 6.5in screen, the largest on an iPhone.
