I picked up the new iPhone Xs, Gold, 512GB from the local Apple Store on Friday 21 September 2018. It was the first day the new model went on sale. For this upgrade I pre-ordered the new gold finish and the 512GB storage. My iPhone 7 has 256GB and last week a message popped up to let me know it was getting full!
My pick-up time was booked in the afternoon, car park at the mall was quite full but delivery at the store was friendly and smooth.
Below are photos of the unboxing to show all the accessories that were included with the iPhone Xs in the box. Enjoy!
