Is the iPhone XS still worth it in 2023?

Although no longer the new model in town, there’s a lot still to love about 2018’s iPhone XS. Not only does it have the same all-screen design as the iPhone 11 range, it’s also got a comparable dual-lens camera that’s only slightly less impressive than the newer models.

The XS is and will be compatible with new versions of Apple’s iOS software, so you can expect to get a suite of new features, as well as performance and security improvements.

The iPhone XS comes in a lot cheaper than newer iPhones and offers about ten hours of battery life on a single charge, with a fast-charge mode for when you need to power-up in a hurry.

If you’re after a new handset but don’t want to fork out for the latest model, the iPhone XS could be a good choice for you.
