Apple new iPhone Xs goes on sale on Friday, boasting a new big screen version called the XS Max, and a much improved camera system.

Former White House Photographer Pete Souza has released the first images taken using the new phone, showing off its new camera capabilities.

He took these shots exclusively for Dailymail.com around Washington DC, and any editing was done on the phone using Apple's tools.

'Smart phones have turned everyone into a photographer but they haven’t necessarily turned everyone into a “good” photographer,' he told Dailymail.com

'At the same time, the smart phone has also turned everyone into a visual journalist giving us at times an eyewitness account from breaking news events.'

Souza, who was the Chief Official White House photographer for U.S. Presidents Ronald Reagan and Barack Obama, and the former director of the White House Photography Office, recently said he has taken approximately two million pictures of President Barack Obama.

He captured the Commander-in-Chief in all situations - whether it is relaxing with his family or sitting in the situation room, waiting to hear the outcome of the May 2011 mission to kill Osama Bin Laden.

His new book, 'SHADE: A Tale of Two Presidents,' is now available for preorder.
