Reviews are now out for the iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone 18 Pro Max, just a couple of days before both phones arrive in stores on Friday, September 18.
After last year’s bigger iPhone 17 Pro redesign, this year’s Pro models are more of an iterative update. The biggest changes are the new 48MP Fusion main camera with variable aperture and Pro Controls, better battery life, especially on the Pro Max, and Apple’s new A20 Pro chip.
For anyone already using an iPhone 17 Pro, the early consensus is that there probably isn’t much reason to upgrade this year.
Apple.ca is still taking pre-orders for both models, with availability starting September 18. Canadian pricing starts at $1,749 for the iPhone 18 Pro with 256GB of storage, while the iPhone 18 Pro Max starts at $1,899.
If you still need to place an order, our iPhone 18 Pro pre-order guide covers buying directly from Apple, while pre-orders are also live through Canadian carriers including Rogers, Bell, Telus and more.
Apple has also been putting more attention on the new camera system, including through its What Holds Us exhibit.
So what do reviewers think after spending time with the new phones? Here’s a roundup of iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone 18 Pro Max reviews from around the web.
