A precision tool for the Apple-ecosystem buyer who still wants the best video on a phone.

Two generations of bigger sensors, refined haptics, and titanium have made the Pro Max what it should have been at launch. The A18 Pro pulls ahead on sustained loads; Apple Intelligence covers the AI-feature gap on paper. The two weak points — charging speed and entry pricing — are the same ones you would have flagged a year ago.
