Unlocked Gold iPhone XS 256GB

This unlocked Apple iPhone XS in Gold works on all major CDMA and GSM carriers including Verizon AT&T T-Mobile and Sprint. The 5.8 inch Super Retina OLED display delivers 1125 by 2436 pixel resolution at 458 ppi. Face ID and a full sensor suite handle authentication and motion tracking. It ships new with iOS and a six month warranty.

A12 Bionic hexa-core processor

The Apple A12 Bionic chip built on a 7 nm process pairs two 2.5 GHz Vortex cores with four 1.6 GHz Tempest cores alongside a four-core Apple GPU. This architecture drives the dual 12 MP rear cameras with 2x optical zoom OIS and 4K video at 60 fps. The 7 MP TrueDepth front camera enables Face ID and Portrait mode selfies. Performance scales with iOS updates.

256GB storage with 4GB RAM

The 256GB internal capacity stores large photo libraries 4K video clips and offline media without relying on cloud sync. Four gigabytes of RAM keeps multiple apps resident for fast switching and AR sessions. Heavy local video editing or very large game collections will eventually fill the fixed storage since expansion is not possible. Buyers who need more onboard space should consider the 512GB variant.
