2 It Max-ed out the iPhone
This year, we didn’t see any massive design changes or updates to the iPhone. In other words, it was thoroughly an “S” year. But that doesn’t mean that 2018 was inconsequential for Apple’s flagship device. Just think of how powerful the A12 Bionic actually is. Apple outdid itself with the iPhone XS Max, packing a massive 6.5-inch display into the same factor of previous Plus models. And while the iPhone XR isn’t quite as cheap as we thought it would be, it likely helped bring the future of iPhones to a wider market than the iPhone X.
