Questions and answers

What is the difference between the iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone 18 Pro Max?

The Pro has a 6.3-inch screen and weighs 211 g. The Pro Max has a 6.9-inch screen, weighs 249 g and lasts longer: up to 43 hours of video playback versus 34 hours. Chip and cameras are the same.

Is the iPhone 18 Pro worth it over the iPhone 17 Pro?

Reviewers call it a modest step up: a variable-aperture main camera, a smaller Dynamic Island, longer battery life and faster charging. If you own an iPhone 17 Pro, most reviewers advise skipping this generation.

Does the iPhone 18 Pro come with a charger?

No. Only a USB-C cable is in the box. For the fastest wired charging you need an adapter of at least 60 W.
