IPhone XS Max's design is noticeably newer than the LG G5's, although it's a little bit thicker and way heavier. Apple iPhone XS Max counts with a better processing power than LG G5, and although they both have a 4 GB RAM, the Apple iPhone XS Max also has a 64 bits processor and a larger number of cores.
Apple iPhone XS Max features a little bit better looking screen than LG G5, because although it has a little bit worse resolution of 1242 x 2688px and a little bit lower display pixel density, it also counts with a larger display. The LG G5 features a lot bigger storage capacity for games and applications than Apple iPhone XS Max, because although it has only 32 GB internal memory capacity, it also counts with a slot for an external memory card that supports a maximum of 1,95 TB.
IPhone XS Max has just a little bit longer battery performance than LG G5, because it has a 3179mAh battery size instead of 2800mAh. The iPhone XS Max has a slightly better camera than LG G5, because although it has a camera with a lot worse resolution and a worse (4K) video resolution, and they both have a same size diafragm aperture, the iPhone XS Max also counts with a larger back camera sensor providing a better image quality.
Although iPhone XS Max is a better device, it costs a lot more money than the LG G5, and it doesn't have such a good relation between it's price and quality as the LG G5. If you are trying to save some dollars, you can buy the LG G5, and give up some specs and features, but you'll get the most out of your budget.
