iPhone 18 Pro Max review: same design, A20 Pro chip and smarter Siri

The iPhone 18 Pro Max review is out: the chassis and 2868×1320 display with up to 3,000 nits are unchanged, but the A20 Pro chip with 12GB RAM is noticeably faster than the A19 Pro. The main additions are a variable aperture camera with Pro controls and a reworked Siri powered by Apple Intelligence in iOS 27.

• A20 Pro with 12GB RAM beats the iPhone 17 Pro Max in tests
• Camera gains variable aperture and manual Pro controls
