Apple iPhone XS Max is much better than the Microsoft Lumia 950, with an 84.5 score against 74.1.

IPhone XS Max has a much better processing power than Microsoft Lumia 950, because it has a 64-bit processing unit, 1 GB more RAM and a larger number of cores (and they are faster).
Lumia 950 features a slightly better looking display than Apple iPhone XS Max, because although it has a way smaller display, it also counts with a slightly better resolution of 2560 x 1440 and a just a little greater pixels density. The Microsoft Lumia 950 features a better storage capacity to store more apps and games than Apple iPhone XS Max, because although it has less internal memory capacity, it also counts with an external memory slot that supports up to 200 GB.
Apple iPhone XS Max counts with just a bit longer battery duration than Lumia 950, because it has a 3179mAh battery size. Lumia 950 shoots slightly better photos and videos than Apple iPhone XS Max, because although it has a tinier aperture which is not recommended for low light photography and videos and worse 30 fps video frame rates, and they both have the same video quality, the Lumia 950 also counts with a way more mega pixels back facing camera and a bigger camera sensor taking more light and vivid colors.
Although iPhone XS Max is a better device, it costs a lot more than the Microsoft Lumia 950, and it doesn't have such a good price and quality relation as the Microsoft Lumia 950. If you want to save a few dollars, you can buy Microsoft Lumia 950, letting go a couple features and specs, but you will get the most out of your money.
