Critic consensus
“This was Tim Cook’s last year as Apple’s CEO, and the iPhone 18 Pro is the quintessential iPhone of the Cook era: practical, pricey, loaded with features to cover ever more niche edge cases, and not especially bold in its design or ambitions—all to a high standard of quality. This is the formula that has made it the world’s most popular flagship smartphone. There’s nothing wrong with that formula.”
“If the budget allows and you are looking for a premium compact phone, the iPhone 18 Pro is definitely one of the best you can get right now.”
“Apple's iPhone 18 Pro combines blazing performance, exceptional battery life, and professional-level cameras into a compact, hand-friendly frame.”
“This year, the 18 Pro does not get a big battery size increase like the previous year, but I still found it to have improved battery life, likely thanks to Apple's first 2nm chip inside. And if you ask for my personal favorite new features — it's the much faster charging and new Photographic Styles. As usual, I would not recommend those on the iPhone 17 Pro to upgrade, but if you have an iPhone 16 Pro or older, I think the upgrades will be noticeable.”
