Apple iPhone XS

RRP:£999 - deals from £749 (with trade-in)

The best iPhone available isn’t the most expensive, nor is it, sadly, the cheapest. The iPhone XS is the middle of the road with best combination of features, size and that premium feel that makes and iPhone special, which it has to have costing this much.

The 5.8in screen is stunning and both big enough for watching videos on the commute and small enough to easily hold and fit in your pocket. The dual camera system on the back is one of the best, the Face ID system works great (there’s no Touch ID or home button anymore) and Apple’s gesture navigation is the best in the business.

Performance is top-notch, but battery life is only about a day compared to almost two for competitors. It still has Apple’s Lightning connector, not the newer universal USB-C standard, but does have wireless charging and will get software support longer than any other phone here.

Verdict

If you want an Apple smartphone, the iPhone XS is the best, but it costs a pretty penny.
