Designer Virgil Abloh tests new Apple iPhone XS Max – so what does he think?
Louis Vuitton’s artistic director of menswear and founder of Off White shares photos and views on model he took to Oasisfest
Designer Virgil Abloh, founder of Off-White, was one of the first individuals to give Apple’s brand new flagship smartphone, the iPhone XS Max, a real-world review.
Louis Vuitton’s artistic director of menswear was present at Apple’s exclusive “Gather Round” special event on September 12 and given an early model to test out, which he brought with him to Morocco for the dance festival Oasisfest.
Abloh then shot the first photos and videos using the coveted device and shared that footage – along with his thoughts – for an exclusive look at what the iPhone XS Max is capable of.
Technologically, the iPhone XS Max features dual 12MP cameras – one is a wide-angle lens equivalent to a 28 millimetres, and the other a telephoto rated nearly 56 millimetres.

The XS Max features new abilities to adjust the bokeh [aesthetic quality of an out-of-focus] blur, post-shooting, along with enhancements such Smart HDR and zero shutter lag for a crisp, “no moment missed” shot every time.
This latest generation houses the A12 Bionic chip, which Apple states is able to compute 5 trillion operations a second though its 7nm chip – a first of its kind in the industry.
