The video provides a concise first look at the brand new iPhone XS and XS Max in the gold color, both equipped with 512 GB of storage, highlighting the premium packaging and the glossy finish of the devices. The host walks through the unboxing steps, noting the inclusion of the paperwork, Apple stickers, a SIM ejector tool, and the quick start guide, then moves on to the device itself and its gold stainless steel frame. A recurring point is the box contents: the USB power brick and Lightning cable are present, but there is no fast charger in the box and no headphone dongle, a change that the host criticizes as outdated for such a premium phone. The video also comments on the omission of the headphone jack adapter, the ongoing debate about dongles versus wireless audio, and the broader context of Apple’s packaging choices, all while acknowledging the high price tag of around $1449 before tax. In addition to the unboxing, the host previews a forthcoming full review and teases new live wallpapers designed for the new OLED display, offering a glimpse of the device’s aesthetics and potential software features to watch for in the review.
