Apple iPhone Xs Max (256GB)

Super Retina

The custom OLED displays on iPhone XS Max deliver the most accurate color in the industry, HDR, and true blacks. And iPhone XS Max has our largest display on an iPhone.

Exceptional Materials

The most durable glass ever in a smartphone. A beautiful new gold finish, achieved with an atomic-level process. Precision-machined, surgical-grade stainless steel bands. And a new level of water and dust resistance.Surgical-grade stainless steel. We used a special Apple-designed alloy that’s precisely machined to create structural bands in three finishes.Wireless charging. The glass back allows iPhone XS Max to charge wirelessly. And it charges even faster than iPhone X. PVD color process. Gold and space gray finishes use an advanced physical vapor deposition process on the stainless steel bands for colors and reflectivity that beautifully complement the glass.
