What's new
The iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone 18 Pro Max stick to Apple's familiar playbook. They feature rigid enclosures, proven water resistance, and toughened glass surfaces that have repeatedly demonstrated they can take real-world abuse. Both phones offer rock solid reliability, so which phone you get depends on how big of a screen you want and how much battery life you require.
The former packs a 6.3-inch OLED display, whereas the iPhone 18 Pro Max sports a larger 6.9-inch OLED screen. Otherwise, they share the same triple-camera system — complete with a 48MP main sensor featuring a variable aperture.
Without putting them through proper benchmark testing, it’s hard to definitively say which phone will offer the greatest battery endurance. That said, Apple's spec sheet reveals that the iPhone 18 Pro Max will last for an astonishing 45 hours of video playback, easily outpacing the smaller iPhone 18 Pro's respectable 36 hours.
No matter which phone you get, you'll be in for a treat as they are Apple's flagship Pro devices. Stay tuned to Tom's Guide for our full review of both phones.
