Our iPhone 18 Pro Max is here! We unbox the Glacier model and share updated hands-on impressions of the design, color, performance, Dynamic Island, and camera—and why a few things have already changed our minds since Apple’s event.
We take a closer look at Glacier next to last year’s iPhone, explore the new camera controls and variable aperture, and discuss what we’ll be testing ahead of our full review.
