My sister just bought her iPhone XS Max on July 11, 2019, then she decided to trade her iPhone XS Max for her iPhone 8 Plus on July 15, 2019, due to a bad front camera.

Bad front camera for All iPhones 2018 was not resolved on iOS 12.1 which is look like fixed Excessive smoothing in selfies! Excessive smoothing in selfies might not be resolved in iOS 12.1 because Ella's iPhone XS Max might have Excessive smoothing in selfies in iOS 12.3.1.

I have my iPhone XS Max from Christmas 2018 but, I may have a free upgrade to iPhone 2019 which have a triple-lens square-shaped camera or even iPhone 2020 which have 5G support due to a bad front camera on my iPhone XS Max like all iPhones 2018.

Right, All iPhones 2018's Front cameras are the bad camera for beauty.

I am very disappointed.

Mine works fine. I don’t spend a lot of time taking selfies though, so even if it didn’t I wouldn’t care.
 
There was an uproar about excessive smoothing, but I believe Apple tweaked the software. I'm happy with *both* front and back cameras on my max....now on 12.4.
 
She still says iPhone XR/XS/XS Max have their bad front camera. She says iPhone 8 Plus is the best phone for her.
[doublepost=1564338392][/doublepost]Her iPhone XS Max had run iOS 12.3.1 and same bad front camera as All iPhone XR/XS/XS Max.

Very happy with mine and from the looks of the vote . . . You and your sister have no idea what they are looking at.

My opinion, is I disagree the front camera is bad. We could have a discussion on how good it actually is, but the pictures it produces in most lighting situations are imo, on the acceptable side.
