For those of you early adopters of the XS and XS Max - congratulations! Can you share your experience, good or bad, any ______ - gate, and/or issues.

I'm waiting (monitoring inventory) until Apple has in-store pickup to purchase an XS Max Gold 256GB. Thanks.
 
Yep. iPhone season goes like this.

Before Keynote: Wow that notch/antenna/name is so ugly, Apple would never release something that looks like that.

Keynote: This is the most boring keynote ever, it's terrible. What is Apple thinking? Those prices? Nothing is a surprise, we knew everything beforehand!

Day Before Preorder: Well I guess I'm gonna order it anyway, despite the price lol!

Preorder: I placed my order five minutes after it went live and my delivery is two weeks away. WTF APPLE!

Wait Period: When is my phone going to update from processing? OMG I switched to pickup at a UPS store and now my delivery date says MONDAY!!!!

Deliveries Arrive: I'm returning my iPhone because the screen is really bad, it's too yellow. My last iPhone had a better screen. And WTF are these scratches out of the box???

A Week After: Speculations for the iPhone 11????

The screen is really bad compared to the X. Blue shift when not looking dead on and yellow hue on whites.
I wonder if LG is making the screens for the Max. I believe the regular Xs is still being made by Samsung. The Pixel 2XL still has the worst LG screen of them all though.
