Apple's new iPhone XS is a modest step up from last year's iPhone X, but remains a major technological leap forward for anyone who hasn't yet made the jump to the edge-to-edge design with Face ID. As with the debut of the iPhone X, if you can stomach the sticker shock, the iPhone XS is a premium, polished, near-perfect handset that showcases Apple's marriage of hardware and software at its most sublime.

The iPhone XS may not be glamorous, but who needs glamour when you've got a 5.8in OLED screen and cameras to die for? We review Apple's forgotten smartphone, a great choice for anyone upgrading from a 6s Plus or 7 Plus - but the iPhone 11 Pro is here now.
