I just tested the new iPhone XS (Max) camera for photography — and a huge fan. Here are my thoughts as compared to my prior iPhone XS (normal) review<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

When is bigger better?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"iPhone<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

For the most part, I don’t like bigger devices. But with the iPhone XS max it is different:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Having a bigger LCD screen for photography seems to be beneficial.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

What I mean is this:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When I see a scene that I want to photograph, and I have the massive ‘electric viewfinder’ of the iPhone XS max (the screen), I gain deep joy from seeing all the wonderful colors, tones, and contrast of the scene.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Vivid filter rocks.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

While in Denver (my new favorite American city) I shot everything in the vivid preset (default in iPhone). Super impressed with the colors \u00e2\u20ac\u201d all are straight out of the iPhone XS Max without additional processing (only vivid filter):<\/p>\n\n\n\n

iPhone XS vs XS Max?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The camera is the same, but I prefer the XS Max because the photos look bigger and more gorgeous both while you\u00e2\u20ac\u2122re shooting and also after the fact.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thus if you\u00e2\u20ac\u2122re looking to get an iPhone to shoot photos and want the best device for photography, choose the iPhone XS Max over the standard iPhone XS. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

iPhone XS Max or Pixel 3 or Huawei P20?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Practical suggestions:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
