Apple iPhone Xs Max
Key specs
Critic consensus
“The largest screen on an iPhone, the biggest battery in an iPhone, the fastest mobile chip on the planet, the best stereo speakers, all-round flagship-grade camera skills. That's the iPhone XS Max and it's quite different from the iPhone X, alright.”
“In some ways the XS Max could be your perfect phone. It brings the option of a larger screen to those for whom 5.8in just isn’t enough and is the first iPhone to cater for those who need two SIMs. It also brings upgrades to photos (Smart HDR), videos (extended dynamic range) and audio (better stereo). However, it remains tricky to justify the high price (from £1,099), especially if 64GB isn’t enough storage for you. Battery life could be better and while performance is great, it isn’t a huge jump up from the iPhone 8 or X.”
“Before writing off the size of the iPhone XS Max, I recommend visiting a store where you can spend a few minutes and get a better idea of what the XS Max is all about. If you recently upgraded to an iPhone X, or maybe even an iPhone 8 or 8 Plus, don't feel left out if aren't ready to upgrade. It's an expensive decision! The future of the iPhone is big and bright, and the iPhone XS Max is the embodiment of that future.”
“The iPhone XS and XS Max are your best choice if you’re looking for a no-compromise smartphone experience (and money’s not an issue). They are not perfect, but their few imperfections are vastly outnumbered by the many, many things they get just right.”
Watch before you decide
In Depth
The Apple iPhone Xs Max marks the top end of Apple’s 2018 phone line-up. But unlike previous years, the Max doesn’t offer features you can’t find in other iPhones.
It’s the same phone as the iPhone Xs — just with a larger 6.5-inch screen. However, the larger screen also includes a higher resolution of 2688-by-1242 pixels. This means you don’t have to sacrifice clarity or detail to enjoy the larger screen.
The increase in the phone’s size adds just over an ounce to the weight of the device. So it’s still ultra portable. However, the larger size made it harder for reviewers to use in one hand. Even those with larger hands might struggle.
Otherwise, it’s the same blazing performance, beautiful screen, and powerful camera you’ll find in the Xs. For a full summary of what to expect, check out our iPhone Xs summary.

Hi Pablo. Since Boost Mobile currently offers Apple iPhone X, I think it's safe to assume that Apple iPhone Xs Max should work fine.
