Take Apple's guided tour of the iPhone XS, iPhone XS Max and iPhone XR

Swiping up and pausing gives the user access to his open apps; close each app by swiping it off the screen.  Swiping down from the top right opens the control center (which closes with a swipe down). And notifications can be seen with a swipe down from the top. One hand can be used to control any of the new iPhone models by enabling "Reachability" in settings, and swiping down from the bottom edge of the display. This brings the screen down to where everything is a thumb's length away.

Everything that required a fingerprint scan with Touch ID can use Face ID, including verifying your identity for Apple Pay. And with Depth Control, you can add the bokeh effect to portraits even after the picture has been processed. It is up to you to determine how blurry you want the background to be. The video also discusses something new to the iPhone: dual-SIM capabilities.

Other new features include Memoji, which are animated and cartoonish versions of your face moving in real time with your facial expressions. And don't forget Group FaceTime, which allows as many as 32 people to video chat at once. This was delayed by Apple, but recently returned with the developer and public betas of iOS 12.1, so it shouldn't be too long before this becomes a feature that even non-beta testers can enjoy.
