The DeanBeat: Apple’s iPhone XS Max is great for games, but they’re still catching up

The first thing I did when I got the flagship iPhone XS Max was try out some games. I’ve been playing around with Apple’s latest device for a few weeks, and I’ve got some impressions about how well it runs games. This report is timely given the iPhone XS Max will soon have some competition from the upcoming Razer Phone 2.

As you may know, this isn’t a cheap phone, and so hopefully you’re going to be purchasing it for more than just games. At $1,100 for a 64GB version, you could be spending the same amount of money for a pretty good PC or gamer laptop. The iPhone has an awesome main camera with 12 megapixel resolution and 2X optical zoom. It has HDR, and the images look so good that I’ve used this camera to replace my Nikon point-and-shoot Coolpix P610 camera when I’m taking portraits of people or speakers on a distant stage.
