Apple outs interactive iPhone XS launch site to tilt and play with on your phone

Today is iPhone XS and XS Max launch day, in case it has slipped your mind, and Apple celebrates in an unusual way. If you go to the source link below on your cell phone, you will be greeted with an interactive story about the two new handsets, complete with specs and size comparisons.

So far, so good, but the cool thing is that you can do with it things you couldn't do on a desktop version, like tilt to rotate the phones in a 360-degree view, or swipe to check the size comparisons. Tilt, swipe and rotate to your heart's desire to get a good 3D overview of the new iPhones before you buy.

It's not a free power bank while you queue in front of the Apple Store, but it's something. You can swap colors, size up with iPhones that still carry their home button, and so on, so go ahead and check it out. Gimmicky? Yes. A fun thing to do on your lunch break? Affirmative, too.

Apple’s 2024 flagship is still nothing to snark at. It has all the same software features, about the same cameras, save for super-pro modes like ProRes RAW Log 2 recording. If that didn’t mean anything to you, you’ll feel perfectly fine with an iPhone 16 Pro in your hands. And you save about $200 on what is essentially an excellent device that’s still hard to beat. Item prices vary by condition, color, and availability.
