That's absolutely the case with iPhone XS, which gains the world's first 7-nanometer processor with A12 Bionic, faster Face ID, wider stereo speakers, Gigabit LTE, dual-SIM, Smart HDR, adjustable background blur, stereo video recording, IP68 water resistance, a new gold finish. And, oh yeah, an all-new 6.5-in Max model.

The iPhone XR’s exposure of faces in back-lit scenes is excellent, showing that its face detection algorithms are working well. Again, results are very comparable to those for the iPhone XS Max, and both devices display improved dynamic range in such conditions over the original iPhone X, with more bright highlight detail preserved in the background outside.
