Introduction
Last year’s [guide|98975|iPhone X|new_window=true] had a weird name and the most advanced internals we’ved ever seen in a teardown. This year Apple turns it up to eleven with the bafflingly-named iPhone XS and XS Max. In a teardown first, we’re taking apart both phones simultaneously—so grab ahold of your Roman numerals and let’s get started.
''Huge thanks to our friends at [https://www.circuitwise.com.au|Circuitwise] for hosting us in Sydney, Australia, where iPhones launch early and all the Apple Stores are upside-down—and to our pals at [guide|40655|Creative Electron|new_window=true], for their incredible imagery and appropriate use of the letter X.''
