Finally upgraded to a 512gb pro max. This color is so sick. coming from a 13 pro this feels like a substantial upgrade

I upgraded from the iPhone 14 Pro (which I absolutely loved) to the iPhone 18 Pro Max two weeks ago, and how do I put it… this thing is an absolute beast! I couldn’t be happier with it!

First things first, the looks. This burgundy color looks so premium. I didn’t hesitate for a single second when choosing the color. (Then again, burgundy is kind of my favorite color, as you can probably tell from the other things surrounding the iPhone in this picture, haha.)

Second, the size. I’ve always owned regular-sized iPhones because I thought the Max would be way too bulky and cumbersome. Well… turns out I was completely wrong! The Max experience is genuinely impressive. Taking photos and videos, watching movies or TV shows… everything feels so much more comfortable on that bigger display. I have fairly large hands, so I don’t find it uncomfortable to use at all, but I can definitely understand why some people might find it too big.

Third, the battery life. Just WOW! It’s incredible. I use my iPhone heavily throughout the entire day, and I still have around 50% battery left when I get home in the evening. Honestly, that’s mind-blowing!

Fourth, the camera. The new variable aperture on the main camera does a great job. It might seem like a small detail, but it can make a real difference depending on the lighting conditions, allowing you to achieve some really nice effects. Same goes for the shutter speed controls!

Fifth, performance. I did some light photo editing and multitasked with several apps running at the same time just to put it through its paces, and it didn’t even break a sweat. No noticeable overheating whatsoever!

And last but not least, I’m now living with just one kidney since buying this iPhone. 😂 (Just kidding, haha.)
Honestly, the only real downside is the price. Other than that, this thing is an absolute powerhouse, and I’m genuinely thrilled with it!

Traded in my 14PM using ATT $1,200 trade in any condition offer. Had it for just about a month now. No complaints. This is my first iPhone that isn’t gold since the iPhone 7 Plus. Honestly, I would’ve kept my 14PM if it wasn’t for this weird glitch where apps would restart when switching between them, and the fact it wasn’t USB-C. I was just as excited to get a color matching Anker battery pack!

As a true benchmark of growth and development, this year, when I upgrade my phone, I will be disposing of the box immediately. Thank you for listening.

After using the 14PM since launch and being very much in doubt whether I would get the 18PM, the Duo, or wait another year, I ended up deciding on the 18PM in Glacier.

My 14PM could certainly be used for at least another year, but its battery was unusable. the phone would heat up like crazy for no apparent reason and by the middle of the day I already had to charge it to last until the end of the day. This is without a doubt the highlight of this upgrade for me: the battery. I've never had a phone with a battery that lasts as long as the 18PM. With relatively heavy use I get about 10 hours of SOT. With more moderate/light use it easily surpasses that.

Besides the battery, having Apple Intelligence is also a bonus for me. I use the text/search tools quite a bit.

Other than that, there really isn't a huge difference in day-to-day use, in my perception. I hope to keep this phone for at least 4 years, as prices are already at absurd levels.

After 7 years of daily service it’s finally time to retire my 11 Pro Max. I still love the Midnight Green, still the best colour ever but the Burgundy is a worthy replacement.

I wonder if I’ll still have the 18 PM 7 years from now? Still not used to the idea of changing but excited to get into the differences and improvements on the new phone. A lot of people will be waiting on a Duo but I don’t want a folding phone right now, I’m very happy with a candy bar style phone for the foreseeable.

Visited the DWA today

Bought this 18 Pro for my mom about a month ago. It’s been smooth sailing, except this camera issue that occurs when attempting to take a picture of a paper. Any possible solutions other than bringing it back to Apple?

Long overdue. I always rock my phone naked and unless the phone feels barely there I won’t use it. This one’s nice. Very thin case overall. Great material, feels great to hold.

The area to the camera plateau has a gradual slope that makes it pretty comfortable to the hand unlike the previous iterations, which are just flat till the camera bump. Camera button’s overall responsive, kinda iffy if you have swipe enabled.

I will say though, the edges around the charging port cutout are still quite sharp, which is probably unavoidable given how thin it is. So if you’re a pinky-under-the-phone user, you’ll feel like something’s cutting your pinky.

I’ll give this case a 9/10, try it out if you want a thin case.

9 hr shift and pretty much steady constant usage all day. To say the least , this battery is more than enough.

Hi i got 18 pro 2 weeks ago. Battery life seems not normal. Indexing has done already. I have checked with apple support as well and they said there is a no issue. Any advice?

Lately, after since a week of getting the phone on September 18th , I have noticed the software crashes while using different apps like Google Maps, Facebook and others and then reboots. Has anyone faced this issue?

To be honest, I have dropped my 18PM several times and cracked the screen protector, yet the case has performed well. I feared drops might damage the edges, but overall it has held up nicely.

So currently I'm waiting on my next up at&t upgrade to iPhone 18 pro max thru the mail order placed on October 4th still in preorder on 17th of October I was wondering if I wanted to get a different iPhone 18 pro max and better storage if I send my current Samsung s26 ultra in thru mail if I can exchange at at&t store and order a different iPhone 18 pro max or will they take the iPhone 18 pro max that I ordered and I won't have no phone for the wait

Please tell me my battery will get better after a few days?!

I’ve been loving playing around with photographic styles while taking pictures. And if you customise the styles in the camera app they will be remembered when you select them again a second time.

But as you know you can also change them after taking a photo, but I found that the settings I set in the camera app are not the same I found in the Photos app afterwards.
And once personalised in a photo on the Photos app and saved then if you edit another photo the styles will be reset.

Is there a way to actually save the custom styles?

Workaround: take a photo for each of the syles you like in the camera app and then copy paste the edits on other pics.

(I’m also posting this to [r/iOS27](r/iOS27) as I’m not sure if it’s just iPhone 18 pro related or if iPhone 16/17 have this too)

I just received my 18 pro max in the mail this week and the power button does not feel as clicky as the volume buttons. It almost feels like it gets stuck then goes back to normal. I have an Apple Tech Woven case on it but I tried it with another case from Amazon and with no case and it seems to be doing the same thing with or without a case. I’m thinking of taking it down to the Genius Bar for a replacement. It’s ridiculous that such an expensive brand-new phone would have this issue only a few days in. Has anybody else also had to deal with this?

I haven’t had a pro before but it is nice only having to charge every other day 🪫

Hey everyone!
I’ve noticed that my iPhone 18 Pro Max drops to around 24 FPS as soon as there’s even a slight decrease in lighting when recording video with Auto FPS enabled.
In almost every other scenario, the camera works perfectly, including when I disable Auto FPS. However, with Auto FPS enabled, it seems to drop to 24 FPS most of the time, even when recording a completely static scene.
Has anyone else experienced this? Could someone with an iPhone 18 Pro Max test this on their device and let me know if they get the same results? I’d really appreciate it!
A couple of things I’ve noticed:
Auto FPS does seem to capture more detail in low light, but the frame rate drops to 24 FPS very easily.
Compared to the iPhone 17 Pro Max, why does the frame rate seem so much more sensitive to lighting conditions on the 18 Pro Max?
I’ve attached two examples. They might not be the most aesthetically pleasing videos, but they’re practical enough to demonstrate the issue.
I’m trying to figure out whether this is normal behavior with Apple’s Auto FPS processing or whether my unit might be defective.
Thanks in advance to anyone willing to test this please.
The examples are gonna be on the comments down below.

I have the iphone 18 pro max from iphone 11 upgrade ordered and wondering what is a good powerbank of it just in case. I am actually thinking a wired and magsafe powerbank in one. Appreciated all advice and sorry for my ignorance

Has anyone experiencing speaker popping/crackling issues on the iPhone 18 tried iOS 27.2 Beta 4? Can you tell me if it fixed the problem?

Elegí el color Glacier por que me parece serio y a la vez diferente . ¿Cuál es el color favorito de ustedes?
