The XS and XS Max support dual SIMs through a nano-SIM and an eSIM. In mainland China, Hong Kong, and Macau, however, the XS Max comes with a dual nano-SIM tray (and no eSIM). The XS does not have a dual nano-SIM tray, so the eSIM functionality is enabled for use in Hong Kong and Macau, but not in mainland China.{{cite web|script-title=zh:iPhone XS - 技术规格|url=https://www.apple.com/cn/iphone-xs/specs|website=Apple|access-date=September 16, 2018|language=zh-CN|archive-date=September 14, 2018|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180914132036/https://www.apple.com/cn/iphone-xs/specs/|url-status=live}}{{cite web|title=iPhone XS – Technical Specifications|url=https://www.apple.com/hk/en/iphone-xs/specs|website=Apple|access-date=September 16, 2018|language=en-HK|archive-date=September 16, 2018|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180916061803/https://www.apple.com/hk/en/iphone-xs/specs/|url-status=live}}{{cite web|script-title=zh:iPhone XS - 技術規格|url=https://www.apple.com/mo/iphone-xs/specs|website=Apple|access-date=September 16, 2018|language=zh-MO|archive-date=September 16, 2018|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180916093033/https://www.apple.com/mo/iphone-xs/specs/|url-status=live}}

The iPhone XS and XS Max, alongside the iPhone XR, will not receive iOS 26 due to hardware limitations.{{cite web |url=https://www.digitaltrends.com/mobile/ios-26-supported-models/ |title=Will my iPhone get iOS 26?

The iPhone XS received generally positive reviews from critics after release. iPhone XS and XS Max users initially had issues with LTE, Wi-Fi reception and Bluetooth connections. Some experts claimed that a faulty antenna was to blame,{{Cite web|url=https://www.wiwavelength.com/2018/09/iphone-xs-and-xs-max-mostly-fail-to.html|title=[UPDATED] iPhone XS and XS Max mostly fail to impress in lab-tested RF power output|last=Andrew J Shepherd|language=en|access-date=January 28, 2019|archive-date=January 28, 2019|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190128135605/https://www.wiwavelength.com/2018/09/iphone-xs-and-xs-max-mostly-fail-to.html|url-status=live}} and in response to many consumer complaints about iPhone XS/XS Max connectivity problems, Apple contacted users for help with their investigation.{{Cite web|url=https://www.macrumors.com/2018/10/03/iphone-xs-lte-connectivity-apple-investigation/|title=Apple Looking Into LTE Connectivity Issues Affecting Some iPhone XS and XS Max Owners|last=Clover|first=Juli|website=www.macrumors.com|date=October 3, 2018 |language=en|access-date=January 28, 2019|archive-date=January 28, 2019|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190128140012/https://www.macrumors.com/2018/10/03/iphone-xs-lte-connectivity-apple-investigation/|url-status=live}} To resolve some problems with the XS/XS Max, Apple pushed the iOS 12.0.1 update on October 8, 2018, which, along with addressing the Chargegate issue, fixed a connectivity issue where Bluetooth could become temporarily unavailable on the XS/XS Max.{{Cite web|url=https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT209084|title=About iOS 12 Updates|website=Apple Support|language=en|access-date=January 28, 2019|archive-date=May 15, 2020|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200515012426/https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT209084|url-status=live}}

This technology combines multiple photos of varying exposures to increase dynamic range on the iPhones' photos, but can also reduce facial imperfections and highlights in selfies. Some, who speculated this was the result of a hidden "beauty mode" (an actual feature in some smartphones), dubbed the issue "Beautygate". There was a general dispute in the community as to whether the camera actual "intended" to "perfect" faces or if they just appeared that way as result of a better-quality camera.{{Cite news|url=https://www.cnet.com/news/iphone-xs-beauty-gate-heres-why-selfies-look-different/|title=iPhone XS beauty-gate|work=cnet|access-date=November 29, 2018|archive-date=November 29, 2018|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20181129143543/https://www.cnet.com/news/iphone-xs-beauty-gate-heres-why-selfies-look-different/|url-status=live}}

Apple said that these results were due to the Smart HDR algorithm incorrectly selecting the blurrier long exposure as its base frame instead of the sharpest short exposure.
