Our take

The iPhone 18 Pro shares the Pro Max's camera system, including the new variable aperture and Pro controls. BGR called it the best camera smartphone of 2026. It's $100 more than the iPhone 17 Pro was, and MacRumors' review roundup sees no big reason to upgrade from a 17 Pro.

Good

  • Same cameras as the Pro Max
  • Smaller and lighter

Watch for

  • $100 price increase
  • 16 hours 17 minutes in Tom's Guide's battery test, behind the Pro Max
