In a way, these phones haven’t changed much from the iPhone X: you get an OLED with 458 pixels per inch (ppi) resolution. For the more compact iPhone XS that’s around 2436 x 1125.

However, you can bank on Apple’s patented True Tone technology, where sensors pick up ambient light colors and adjusts the color so you see the “real, natural image” even if you’re looking at it in glaring sun or a dark room. 

The Apple iPhone XS Max and XS screens are also slightly faster and more responsive than older models, though you won’t really notice the difference unless you’re playing an app that depends on lightning-fast reflexes.
