iPhone 18 Pro and Pro Max Review: Fastest phones ever, variable aperture camera soars

The iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone 18 Pro Max raise the bar for performance in a phone with the new A20 Pro chip. You also get a versatile new variable aperture camera that takes brighter images and gives you more creative control. The battery life from both devices is awesome, too, and you get the fastest charging yet from an iPhone. You have to pay $100 more for both Pro phones, and they're heavier than their predecessors, but overall these are easily the best phones money can buy.
