The next generation of iPhone
Get to know iPhone XS, iPhone XS Max, and iPhone XR. Learn intuitive gestures, use your face as your password, and see what’s possible with the amazing TrueDepth camera.
It’s all screen
The device is the display—an edge-to-edge screen you can quickly navigate with familiar gestures. Swipe up from the bottom edge to return to the Home screen, swipe up and pause to see your open apps, or swipe down from the top right to reveal Control Center.
Unlock with a glance
Use Face ID to unlock your iPhone, authenticate purchases, and use Apple Pay. Face ID is a powerful and secure authentication system that’s even more convenient than Touch ID.
To set up Face ID, go to Settings > Face ID & Passcode.
Fun with the front-facing camera
With the TrueDepth camera, you can create your own Memoji in Messages to match your personality and mood, and take photos with striking studio‑quality lighting effects.
To take a selfie in Portrait mode, where the background blurs and you stay sharp, open Camera, tap 
, tap Portrait, then drag 
for Portrait Lighting options like Contour Light or Studio Light.
