History and documentation
Apple announced the iPhone XS family in 2018 with iOS 12 and 64 / 256 / 512 GB capacities. This entry separates code A2098; finishes and capacities are not treated as new revisions without evidence. Announced availability does not prove actual sales of each regional version.
Design and specifications
It uses A12 Bionic and a 5.8-inch OLED HDR P3 screen, 2436 × 1125 pixels and 458 ppi, with True Tone and 3D Touch. It measures 143.6 × 70.9 × 7.7 mm and weighs 177 g. Face ID uses TrueDepth, without a Home button. IP68 is a laboratory rating, not permanent resistance.
Use and context
The rear system pairs a 12 MP f/1.8 wide camera with a 12 MP f/2.4 telephoto and dual optical stabilization. The TrueDepth front camera has 7 MP and f/2.2. It records 4K at 24, 30 or 60 fps and 1080p at 30 or 60 fps. Wireless charging uses the Qi standard.
Notes and image
The Japanese A2098 version lists CDMA, UMTS, GSM and FeliCa. Exact bands appear in the specifications, without promising current service. The documented configuration uses nano-SIM and eSIM, subject to carrier support. It includes 802.11ac Wi-Fi with MIMO, Bluetooth 5.0 and Lightning. The 2018 announcement deferred Dual SIM to a later update; it is not presented as active on day one.
