Apple announced the new iPhone Xs, Xs Max and Xr on Wednesday 12th September, here’s a quick round up on case compatibility.The Trillion Dollar company dropped their revamped lineup of iPhones and there were a few surprises but notably, the predicted 3 devices were announced. Show These come in the form of the iPhone Xs, iPhone Xs MAX and iPhone XR. Below we will go through the devices and give you the important details for deciding on phone case options. The iPhone XsQuestion: “Will iPhone X cases fit the new iPhone Xs?” Easy answer: Yes. Important Answer: The iPhone Xs is the same size as the iPhone X. There are 2 differences to note. The first is the alignment of the microphone on the bottom of the device. We believe they have modified this slightly. This won’t really have an impact on current iPhone X cases although if the case has precision cutouts, it may cover parts of the speaker/microphone. Will this affect use? probably not. The second aspect to note is weight. The iPhone Xs is 3g heavier. Again, no impact on cases however if you drop an iPhone X and Xs from the same height, the Xs is more likely to get to the ground quicker. 😀 View iPhone Xs cases The iPhone Xs MAXQuestion: “Are there any previous cases that will fit the new iPhone Xs Max?” Easy Answer: No. Detailed Answer: Well, technically yes there are. Moulded cases and form factor cases are out the question. Because of the new size and design of the iPhone Xs Max, there hasn’t been a previous model of iPhone to share this factor so these types of cases won’t fit. However, there may be some pouch, clutch or bag style cases that may fit. These tend to be universal type cases and can protect the device but are far from ideal. Play it safe and get an iPhone Xs Max case. View iPhone Xs Max Cases The iPhone XRNo question required. This is a completely new device with no existing form factor. As mentioned above, you may find some pouch style cases will fit the XR but it will be hit and miss. The iPhone XR will most likely become the popular iPhone model of 2019. Its price point is the most accessible, it carries the stylings of the iPhone X, utilises Face ID, has the AR tech and comes in a range of bold colours.

With the announcement of the new iPhone XR, iPhone XS, and iPhone XS Max you may be wondering if you can use your old iPhone case with one of the new models. After all, a phone case that you just absolutely love can be hard to come by, and if you're looking to upgrade your phone, it's certainly a plus to not have to spend money on a case. Well, I'm here to break it all down for you, I'll take you through each model and let you know which (if any) older cases may work. iPhone XRThe iPhone XR is a totally new type of iPhone that we haven't seen before. Not only is it fairly large, measuring 5.94 x 2.98 x 0.30 inches, it also only has one camera cutout on the back, unlike the iPhone XS and iPhone XS Max. Due to the size and design of the iPhone XR being different than any previous iPhone, old cases will not fit on the iPhone XR. Of course, there are plenty of case manufacturers who haven't got their new line up in place yet, but if you want to see a few iPhone XR cases you can buy right now for launch day, check out the link below!

The iPhone XS is a refresh of last year's iPhone X, and appears to have the exact same design and dimensions. This means that you should be able to use your old iPhone X case with your iPhone XS. So all those great cases already available for the iPhone X are ripe for the picking! That being said, the microphone layout on the bottom of the iPhone XS is slightly different than the iPhone X, which means cases that have precise cutouts for those microphone holes in the iPhone X, may be slightly misaligned on an iPhone XS. It's also worth noting that the iPhone XS is a tad heavier than the iPhone X. While this shouldn't affect the ability to use an older case with the new phone, there's a slight possibility cases with kickstands or clips may not be tested for the added weight of the iPhone XS. It's only a difference of three grams, but it's always better to know all the facts. While you it looks like you can use older cases with the iPhone XS, that hasn't stopped companies — including Apple itself — from releasing new cases for the iPhone XS anyways. Peruse the cases we found so far with the link below! Read: Best Cases for iPhone XS iPhone XS MaxThe biggest phone of the bunch, the iPhone XS Max is just a hair smaller than the footprint of last year's iPhone 8 Plus. However, it's massive 6.5-inch OLED display will make it appear much larger than the iPhone 8 Plus did. Just like the iPhone XS, the iPhone XS Max has a dual camera system on the back of the phone in a vertical stack. It also uses the same super-thin bezel front display with the True Depth front-facing camera and all those fancy sensors, just like the iPhone XS, but the iPhone XS Max is much larger. Due to its size, no older cases will fit the iPhone XS Max, meaning you'll need to buy a new one if you don't like walking around with your phone naked.
