Just FYI.
iPhone 4:
Sensor size: 1/3.2"
Lens: 4 elements
iPhone 4s and 5:
Sensor size: 1/3.2"
Lens: 5 elements
iPhone 5s and 6 and 6s:
Sensor size: 1/3.0"
Lens: 5 elements
iPhone 7/8/X:
Sensor size: 1/3.0"
Lens: 6 elements
iPhone XS/Xr:
Sensor size: 1/2.55"
Lens: 6 elements
Note above: elements count does NOT include the glass/sapphire covering. Of course, throughout the years, BSI, OIS, deep trenching with pixels, and IR filter improvements were all introduced along the way. Etc. But above is the basic camera design.

just got the xs max, I had a 7 plus. what I am seeing so far...
- people can hear me when I call them
- phone size is the same, but there is more useable screen size
- I can read the screen without glasses
- sound is amazing, phone is loud
- zoom is great
- compared side by side with xr, xr is good, slightly smaller, camera is not as good
- it was interesting going from a button to all gestures to say the least
what I am not liking is the size of the cases, yes I get its there to protect me, I have dropped a phone once, the day before my contract was up (alcohol was involved). the case makes the phone 3x the original size.

Try Ringke Air case on Amazon. Nice protection, thin, and clear TPU case. The TPU will yellow over time, but it is cheap enough that you can just get a new one.

Just picked up a 256gb XS. So far I like it. Having no home button didn't take as long to transition to as I was thinking. Still getting used to it being bigger. Not sure if the slight size bump is more noticeable or the weight of it.
I do wish they'd make a smaller version of it, but I'm probably in the minority of consumer wants/needs. It just seems with the edge to edge screens these days, that it would be possible. Like the SE but with the screen of an XS.

I am with you on the size. The "regular" sized phones now are bigger than I'd typically want. The "max" sized phones are just gigantic.

For me, the XS is the Goldilocks. Perfect screen size/actual size ratio...fit in my jeans/pants pocket.
The camera improvement is huge...enjoy it!

Haven't played around with it too much, but so far impressed. I really never thought they'd be able to cram a decent camera into a phone. Makes me wonder what we'll have in 10 years.

Actually, as far as i know, XS is the ONLY camera system in the world that controls highlights AND bring out details from the shadow...as soon as you press the shutter button. Basically, Smart HDR does the photo editing for you in a few milliseconds!

That's only in HDR mode, right? Because there are some odd times where I don't want it to try and control highlights or shadows.

Smart HDR is always ON. If you want to turn it off, then go to SETTINGS...CAMERA...and turn off Smart HDR. After that you will see HDR ON/OFF option in your camera app.
Personally, Smart HDR is ON for me.

Perfect. I just don't like it when I don't have the option to toggle something like that on and off if I want. I'm sure I'll leave it on and only switch it off on the rare occasion I don't want it.
