Apple Releases iPhone 18 Pro Max with A20 Pro Chip

Apple Inc. released the iPhone 18 Pro Max, a high-end smartphone equipped with a 6.9-inch Super Retina XDR display and the A20 Pro chip. The device introduces a significant battery upgrade that allows for up to three days of light usage and a new variable aperture on the 48MP main camera to enhance low-light and creative photography.

Running on iOS 27, the phone features a revamped Siri AI chatbot with screen and camera awareness. The device starts at $1,299, making it one of the company's most expensive slab phones for 2026, though it remains cheaper than the iPhone Duo.

Despite the performance and battery improvements, the phone weighs 249g, which may make one-handed use difficult for some users.
