Iphone Xs What's In The Box

So the iPhone XS launched earlier this month aslope the bigger iPhone XS Max, and the "affordable" iPhone XR. Well, we recently got our hands on an iPhone XS, and here's what y'all'll discover (and what you'll not find) inside the box of the new Rs 99,990 iPhone from Apple tree.

iPhone XS: What'due south In the Box?

The iPhone XS comes in the usual iPhone-y box that has remained the aforementioned for the last, I don't know how many years, and that's perfectly fine. The Gold variant that we got (which looks gorgeous, by the way) comes in a standard white box with the 'iPhone' text and the Apple logo washed in gold — that'due south a overnice bear upon. I'm not sure if the other colors come with the text and logo in their respective colors as well, but they probably do.

Anyway, opening the box is the usual Apple affair with easy to slide-out lids, a pull tab for the phone, and some in-box accessories nether it. Hither's what you'll get:

• The iPhone XS (because you paid for it)
• Lots and lots of manuals and certification cards that you won't always read.
• Apple stickers (whatever you do, please don't stick these on your car? Please?)
• SIM ejector tool
• Lightning EarPods (because of the courage Apple tree showed 2 years dorsum)
• USB Type-A to Lightning cable
• Charger (not a fast charger, so it takes forever to charge your new iPhone)
• No headphone dongle (considering apparently it'south impossible to include a $ix accessory with a $999 iPhone)

A Modest Rant… Probably

Note: You can skip this if yous're non interested in reading anything bad about Apple or the way it tries to earn more money from its customers.

So the iPhone XS is an accented beauty, and I'll not go into further detail nigh it here because then what will I write in the total review? Heh. Anyway, the issue I have (and so does almost everyone else on the planet other than the Cupertino staff) is with two things. First, the lack of a headphone dongle in the box. That'due south just actually petty from Apple, particularly on a smartphone that is priced at a whopping $999 or Rs 99,990 in Bharat. Just for the record, you wouldn't get a dongle even if you bought the 512GB iPhone XS Max for $1,449 or Rs ane,44,990 in India, and it makes no sense.

Of class, there'southward the argument that if y'all're spending $999 on a smartphone, you can probably afford to spend $9 extra on a dongle, but that's stupid. The signal is, if I'thou spending $999 on a smartphone that has no headphone jack, information technology's almost the moral responsibility of the mettlesome company to put in a headphone dongle inside it, specially when the company is using a proprietary port on its phone instead of USB-C.

The other thing I'thou pissed off virtually is the lack of a fast charger in the box. I hateful, c'mon! That's just downright insane. The battery on the iPhone X isn't huge by whatever ways, it'south barely even up there with Android flagships, and information technology still takes far longer than any other Android smartphone in the marketplace to charge this thing.

Then Apple made information technology possible to charge the iPhone faster, only then thought "I don't think anyone really wants a fast charger… Why not keep your iPhone plugged in the whole twenty-four hour period, or go out it on the AirPower mat that nosotros won't launch for a whole frikkin' twelvemonth."

Anyway, we tin can't do anything about this, other than buy a headphone dongle, a pair of Bluetooth earphones, and a fast charger on our own, because apparently $999 doesn't warrant proficient accessories in the box.

That wasn't really a small, quick bluster, was it? Allow me know if you think Apple took the courageous path again with the accessories (or lack thereof) in the iPhone XS box.
