iPhone 18 Pro Max

The iPhone 18 Pro Max is a sight to behold

The standout feature of the iPhone 18 Pro Max is undoubtedly its large 6.9” Super Retina XDR OLED display with slim bezels, ProMotion technology with an adaptive refresh rate of up to 120Hz, and outdoor brightness reaching up to 3,000 nits. The Dynamic Island has received a significant upgrade; thanks to the integration of some Face ID sensors directly beneath the display panel, the cutout is noticeably smaller, intrudes less on content, and can now clearly display up to three Live Activities at once. The premium display is protected by a new generation of Ceramic Shield 2 glass, complemented on the back by an aluminium unibody design with a colour-matched rear panel.

Naturally, the Apple iPhone 18 Pro Max retains its dust and water resistance with an IP68 rating.

Apple iPhone 18 Pro Max with the longest battery life in history

Thanks to its large battery and the high efficiency of the A20 Pro processor, the iPhone 18 Pro Max boasts the longest battery life in Apple history. On a single charge, it can handle up to 43 hours of continuous video playback or up to 29 hours of streaming, gaming, or web browsing. Wired charging has also seen record-breaking speed improvements, allowing you to top up 50% of the battery capacity in just 15 minutes, while a mere 5 minutes on the cable provides enough power for approximately 7 hours of video playback. Naturally, up to 25W MagSafe wireless charging is also supported.

Premium connectivity for the iPhone 18 Pro Max is provided by the energy-efficient Apple C2 5G modem, combined with the N1 wireless chip supporting Wi-Fi 7 and Bluetooth 6 technologies.

Outstanding iPhone 18 Pro Max performance powered by a new chip

The top-tier performance of the iPhone 18 Pro Max is driven by the Apple A20 Pro chipset, manufactured using advanced 2nm technology. The chipset features a 6-core CPU, a 7-core GPU, and 50% higher memory bandwidth. Working in tandem with a new generation of evaporative cooling, it delivers up to 40% higher sustained graphics performance compared to the iPhone 17 Pro. AI processing is handled by a dual 16-core Neural Engine with a total of 32 cores. To maintain peak performance even during long sessions of demanding gaming or video editing, Apple has implemented a new generation of vapour chamber with three times the surface area, helping to dissipate heat more efficiently under sustained load.

Which configurations and colours is the iPhone 18 Pro Max available in?

You can choose the Apple iPhone 18 Pro Max in four colour options: Black, Silver, Glacier, and the brand-new Burgundy. Storage capacities available are 256GB, 512GB, 1TB, and 2TB.

A more secure environment and fluid performance with iOS 27

The flagship Apple iPhone 18 Pro Max comes with iOS 27 pre-installed, which, alongside a subtly redesigned Liquid Glass visual style, emphasises stability, sophisticated parental control tools for safer digital navigation for children, and the new iPhone Handoff feature for seamless switching between devices under a single phone number. A major evolutionary step is also the deep integration of Siri AI, which can draw from the user's personal context and instantly analyse content on the screen as well as what is happening in front of the camera lens.

However, due to legislative requirements stemming from the European Digital Markets Act, please note that this advanced AI assistance is currently unavailable to users in the Czech Republic and other European Union countries.

The iPhone 18 Pro Max excels with its camera system

Significant innovations in the top-tier iPhone 18 Pro Max also take place in the field of photography. For the first time, the main 48MP Fusion sensor integrates a mechanical rotor with six laser-cut blades, allowing you to transition smoothly between individual aperture values and adjust the amount of light hitting the sensor to suit the specific scene. It is accompanied by a 48MP ultra-wide-angle lens with macro mode and a 48MP telephoto lens offering 8× optical-quality zoom. In the Camera app, creators now have access to a fully manual Pro controls interface with a live histogram, manual shutter speed selection, and white balance.

Love shooting video? You will adore the iPhone 18 Pro Max

Video enthusiasts will appreciate 4K Dolby Vision recording at up to 120fps with support for ProRes and Apple Log2 formats, or the ability to adjust focus on finished footage. The authenticity of every shot is ensured by Apple Reference Image cryptographic technology, which creates an unalterable digital negative at the individual pixel level, protected against unauthorised tampering.
