The Verge Review Says iPhone 18 Pro Max's Camera Update Brings Incremental Gains
A new review from The Verge describes Apple's latest flagship as distinctive in design, with camera improvements characterized as modest rather than transformative.
The Verge has published a review of Apple's iPhone 18 Pro Max, describing it as a device unlike previous iPhones in design. According to the review, the phone's appearance has reportedly prompted other smartphone manufacturers to consider different design directions for their own flagship products.
The review credits Apple with software touches on the new device that it describes as the kind of "I can't believe they did that" features the company has periodically introduced in past products.
Despite the attention drawn by the phone's overall design, the review's focus, as reflected in its headline, centers on the device's camera system. The Verge characterizes the camera update as delivering "small gains" rather than a major overhaul, according to the piece's title and framing.
The publication's URL for the review references "aperture," suggesting the camera assessment may address changes related to the device's lens aperture, though further specifics were not detailed in the available excerpt of the article.
The Verge did not immediately provide additional technical specifications or comparative performance details regarding the camera system's exact changes in the portion of the review made available.
