Editorial report

Apple iPhone 18 Pro Max technical sheet

The iPhone 18 Pro Max suits buyers after a large, feature-rich phone who can accept below-average battery capacity and wired charging. It has been on sale since September 18.

Its 6.9-inch LTPO OLED display reaches 3,000 nits peak brightness, above average for phones of its time, while 460 ppi is among the highest pixel densities. The AnTuTu score of 3,010,000 is better than most. This version pairs 12 GB of RAM with 256 GB of storage; other configurations come with 512 GB, 1 TB or up to 2 TB.

For photography, the 1/1.28″ main sensor and 4x optical zoom are among the best of their time, and the camera system overall is among the best. Connectivity also stands among the best, with 5G, Wi-Fi 7, Bluetooth 6.0 and satellite connectivity. Its 5,567 mAh battery and 40 W wired charging are below average, while 25 W wireless charging is better than most.

Overall, it ranks among the best phones launched around the same time. Its NeoScore of 8.8 reflects a well-rounded choice for buyers prioritizing the display, performance, cameras and connectivity, provided they are comfortable with its 249 g weight and less competitive battery capacity and wired charging.
