Hello everyone! Currently, I own the iPhone 7 Plus 128 GB but I have the chance to upgrade to a newer model. I can’t still decide between the Xs Max (256 GB at $890 discounted) or the iPhone 11 (128 GB $749) and the reasons are basically screen technology, Telephoto vs UltraWide lenses and battery life. What do think? Thanks

XS Max is more premium... OLED Display, Stainless steel and more storage

I would go with the 11 pro or 11 pro max.
 
What do you mean telephoto vs ultra wide lense? Which one do you want cause they both lack one or the other. But overall I would go for the regular iPhone 11 over a XS max any day. Much better camera and battery life and it’s cheaper. No brainer
 
Given those choices, it probably boils down to whether you actually need the extra memory you would get with the Xs, or whether you have a particular need for telephoto vs. ultra-wide-angle. Any of those specific needs would shift this strongly one way or the other.

For me, it would be an easy choice in favor of the 11. The processor is better, the camera technology is far improved, and while you can always get a digital zoom, you can't get a digital ultra-wide shot. But I also like the LED screen and the look of the 11.

Comes down to, do you want a better camera or a larger display?

Camera quality: iPhone 11 wins
Display size: iPhone XS Max wins
