But for now, this is what a privileged few thought of the to most expensive iPhones for 2018.

Anyway, its not an all bad review for the IPhones of 2018.  It is not defending the product or being protective of the iphone. But bringing up the some few hours of review and publish articles is just a preview thoughts . Not even a full review by the expertise and not even a real life review for few days. They are basically a mere review.

Now...I wonder why Apple gave those demo units to those 'reviewers' to try out a week before launch? Maybe there were popular and reputable reviewers from Cnet, Verge and CNBC with millions of readers. Maybe next year you should write to Apple to send you a unit of their latest Iphone for reviewing then.. This post has been edited by TOMEI-R: Sep 18 2018, 11:00 PM

Though I'm a bit skeptical, I prefer more on the youtube test and review. Youtubers has millions view as well.

But on a side note, the bigger screen on the max is really needed on the X, so it has to be Xs Max. This post has been edited by TOMEI-R: Sep 19 2018, 12:27 AM
