Summary
$1,199 iPhone 18 Pro and $1,299 Pro Max add Apple’s A20 Pro chip, USB-C, Apple Intelligence support, a smaller Dynamic Island and larger 6.3-inch and 6.9-inch displays.
Battery and camera upgrades drive the refresh: video playback rises to 36 hours on the Pro and 45 hours on the Pro Max, while the main camera gains a four-stop variable aperture and Pro controls.
Performance and connectivity also jump, with a 2nm A20 Pro, 12GB RAM, vapor-chamber cooling, Wi-Fi 7 and USB 3 speeds up to 10Gb/s replacing the iPhone 14 Pro’s Lightning-era setup.
For iPhone 14 Pro owners, Apple is pitching four generations of accumulated changes—better cameras, faster charging, longer battery life and AI features—though the new models cost $200 more than their 2022 predecessors.
