tomsguide.com

Apple's new iPhone 18 Pro and Pro Max feature a variable aperture camera, faster A20 Pro chip, and longer battery life, but cost $100 more than their predecessors. The 48MP main camera offers adjustable apertures from f/1.48 to f/4.0 for depth-of-field control, while the 2nm A20 Pro chip delivers up to 40% faster graphics. Battery life is rated at 36 and 45 hours for the Pro and Pro Max respectively, with faster charging. Both models are heavier than the iPhone 17 series, and Siri lacks live conversational AI features found in competitors like Gemini Live. The Pro Max starts at $1,199, targeting power users who prefer traditional form factors over foldables.
