Description
A Terabyte for Every Shot
Three 48MP Fusion cameras are the heart of the Apple iPhone 18 Pro Max, and with 1TB of storage there is space to use them freely. The Fusion Main camera adjusts its variable aperture from ƒ/1.48 to ƒ/4.0, the Fusion Telephoto reaches up to 8x optical-quality zoom, and video goes up to 4K Dolby Vision at 120 fps with ProRes RAW. Everything plays back on a 6.9-inch Super Retina XDR display with ProMotion up to 120Hz, driven by the A20 Pro chip. Finished in Burgundy, it is rated IP68 for water and dust resistance, and Apple quotes up to 43 hours of video playback.
Why the AD Team Recommends It
For anyone serious about video, this is the one our team points to. Recording up to 4K Dolby Vision at 120 fps with ProRes RAW and Apple Log 2 gives footage plenty of room for colour grading, and 1TB of storage means those large files always have somewhere to live.

ProMotion raises the refresh rate up to 120Hz for fluid motion, and the Always-On mode keeps essentials visible at a glance. Brightness reaches 1,000 nits typical, 1,600 nits peak for HDR content and 3,000 nits peak outdoors, so the screen stays clear in strong daylight, while Ceramic Shield 2 covers the front.
