Apple iPhone Xs: Conclusion
Limited Recommendation!
Due to some Apple peculiarities, a general recommendation is not possible.
If you are willing to compromise and accept the disadvantages (maybe even because of the unbeatable advantages), you will get a very nice and solid smartphone!
Sufficient Storage Space only for a sizable Surcharge
The maximum memory expansion is worth the extra charge – with less memory an iPhone is completely useless for me!

And as a document scanner the iPhone with a matching app is perfectly suited. But the memory is not expandable, so the model with the largest built-in memory is a must.
