Camera Review

The iPhone XS camera had a big part to play at this year’s iPhone launch – and for good reason. Apple has been making great strides in the camera space with its smartphones, creating a massive marketing push with the Shot on iPhone campaign and there’s even a How To Shoot on iPhone dedicated section on its official website.

The problem is, Apple has some big competition in this space. Huawei has been pushing its camera technology in the Huawei P20 Pro – offering effective image stabilisation, superb detail and decent bokeh effects from its triple lens setup (in partnership with Leica).

Couple this with its boast that it has a 40MP sensor measuring 1/1.7 inches (compared to the iPhone X’s 1/2.9 inches) and Apple has a little work to keep up with the Joneses

Both the iPhone XS and iPhone XS Max cameras are built around what seems to be the same hardware as the iPhone X, but the setup is somewhat different.

There’s a 12MP camera on the phone, which is now backed by a bigger sensor than that seen in the iPhone X. Here the sensor measures 1.4µm, while the iPhone X’s only managed 1.22µm. What that means is that the camera should be able to stand stronger when the conditions aren’t the best for shooting.
