The now annual refresh of the iPhone has been announced, and this year we get to pick from three phones. Apple may have ditched the "s" version last year to get the iPhone X out on the 10-year anniversary of its smartphone, but this year it's back. The most interesting of the three phones on offer – the iPhone Xs, Xs Max and Xr – is the Xs Max. That's mainly due to its 6.5-inch super Retina display. The Xs Max comes with the familiar dual cameras on the rear, is water resistant up to two metres thanks to its new IP68 rating, and has wireless charging. Just don't drop it. The costs for replacing the smashed bits are eyewatering.
