The new iPhone 18 Pro Max has hit the shelves and immediately faces comparison against its predecessor. While the two devices share the same fundamental design and build, the iPhone 18 Pro Max brings meaningful upgrades across several key areas. Size comparison reveals the devices are nearly indistinguishable physically, though the iPhone 18 Pro Max is 15 grams heavier due to a larger battery and bigger heatsink. The most visible difference is the Dynamic Island, which has shrunk by 35% on the newer model as Apple moved the IR camera beneath the screen.
Display comparison shows both phones share the same 6.9-inch LTPO Super Retina XDR OLED panel with identical brightness specifications. However, the iPhone 18 Pro Max's smaller pill-shaped cutout offers a more refined aesthetic. Battery life represents the most significant practical improvement; the iPhone 18 Pro Max's 5,391mAh battery, combined with the new chip, achieved an Active Use Rating of 19:20h, surpassing the iPhone 17 Pro Max's 17:58h. Charging speed also sees tangible gains, with the newer model reaching 50% in just 15 minutes compared to 38% for the previous generation. Performance upgrades center on the new chipset, delivering noticeable speed improvements over the iPhone 17 Pro Max. Camera systems have also been refined, offering better overall capabilities while maintaining the established Pro Max format.
Speaker test results show the iPhone 18 Pro Max achieving 'Very Good' loudness ratings, an upgrade from the 'Good' rating of its predecessor. Both devices support identical fast wireless charging standards up to 25W via Mag Safe.
