Pro Cameras, Marathon Battery
Late light on a city street, a concert from the back row, a child's first steps across the kitchen: the Apple iPhone 18 Pro Max is built for the moments that refuse to wait. Three 48MP Fusion cameras, including a Telephoto with up to 8x optical-quality zoom, make sure you get the shot, while the 6.9-inch Super Retina XDR display with ProMotion up to 120Hz shows it off at up to 3,000 nits outdoors. Inside, the A20 Pro chip powers it all, 256GB of storage holds the lot, and Apple states up to 43 hours of video playback. Finished in Silver, the aluminium unibody is rated IP68 against water and dust.
Why Our Specialists at AD Love It
The variable aperture on the 48MP Fusion Main camera is the feature our team keeps talking about: moving between ƒ/1.48 and ƒ/4.0 gives real control over background blur straight from the camera. Pair that with up to 43 hours of video playback and the 6.9-inch ProMotion display, and this is the iPhone we reach for when photography matters.

Big, Bright ProMotion Display
The 6.9-inch Super Retina XDR OLED display has a resolution of 2868 x 1320 pixels at 460 ppi, so even small text stays crisp. ProMotion takes the refresh rate up to 120Hz, which makes scrolling and animation feel fluid while the Always-On display keeps information visible. Brightness is rated at 1,000 nits typical, 1,600 nits peak for HDR content and 3,000 nits peak outdoors, meaning you can frame a photo or read a map in bright sunlight. Ceramic Shield 2 covers the front.
Three 48MP Fusion Cameras
All three rear cameras are 48MP Fusion cameras. The Main camera at 24mm has a variable aperture from ƒ/1.48 to ƒ/4.0 for control over depth of field, the Ultra Wide at 13mm and ƒ/2.2 captures expansive scenes, and the Telephoto at 100mm and ƒ/2.8 reaches up to 8x optical-quality zoom at 200mm, with digital zoom up to 40x. Video records up to 4K Dolby Vision at 120 fps with ProRes RAW and Apple Log 2, and the 18MP Center Stage front camera handles calls and selfies.
All-Day Power, Fast Top-Ups
A 5,391 mAh battery gives up to 29 hours of typical use, up to 43 hours of video playback and up to 38 hours of streamed video, and it is designed to last at least 1,000 cycles. On the energy label the phone sits in class A with a battery endurance of 62 hours per cycle. Using a 60W-capable adapter and USB-C cable, the battery reaches up to 50% in around 15 minutes, while MagSafe and Qi2 wireless charging run at up to 25W.
Materials, Ratings and Updates
The aluminium unibody is fronted by Ceramic Shield 2, with Ceramic Shield on the back, and the whole phone weighs 249 g. An IP68 classification under IEC 60529 means it tolerates dust and submersion to a maximum depth of 6 metres for up to 30 minutes. It is also classed B for repeated free-fall reliability and C for repairability, and Apple commits to OS security and functionality updates for a minimum of 5 years.
