Apple unveils iPhone 18 Pro series; Pro Max loses signal on AT&T
Apple unveiled the iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone 18 Pro Max at its “Surprise and Shine” event. This was the first presentation attended by John Ternus as CEO. The foldable iPhone Duo was also shown at the event. The Pro models primarily differ in screen size, battery life, and price, with a difference of 100 dollars (170 manat).
The iPhone 18 Pro has a 6.3-inch screen, while the iPhone 18 Pro Max has a 6.9-inch screen. Both feature a Super Retina XDR display and the new A20 Pro processor. According to Apple, the processor runs faster in games and artificial intelligence tasks while also conserving energy. The smartphones also have similar cameras. Both models feature 48 MP sensors, optical zoom, and a variable aperture. The variable aperture regulates the amount of light entering the camera. This helps capture higher-quality images in low-light conditions. The models will be sold in Silver, Black, Glacier, and Burgundy. The iPhone 18 Pro can provide up to 36 hours of video playback on a single charge. The previous iPhone 17 Pro offered 33 hours. A 60 W USB-C cable charges the battery to 50% in 15 minutes. A certified MagSafe device requires 30 minutes for a 50% charge. The iPhone 18 Pro Max provides 45 hours of video playback on a single charge and lasts 6 hours longer than the previous model. Charging the phone by cable for just 5 minutes provides enough power for an additional 7 hours of video playback. Apple claims this is the largest increase in battery life in iPhone history. The maximum figure for the iPhone Duo’s external display is 44 hours. This means the foldable model falls behind the Pro Max.
After sales began, some AT&T customers encountered a cellular network problem on the iPhone 18 Pro Max. When the malfunction occurs, calls, messages, and mobile internet do not work, and “SOS” appears on the screen. Although the problem has not been reported on every device, many users have complained. The malfunction has appeared on the Pro Max model with a Qualcomm modem. The same problem has not appeared on the iPhone 18 Pro with the Apple C2 modem. AT&T advised users to install the iOS 27.0.1 update immediately. The carrier drew particular attention to potential difficulties when calling 911. The update’s official notes mention only fixes for Face ID and camera errors. According to some users who installed the update on Monday, the network problem is still continuing. The carrier said it is working with Apple to resolve the malfunction.
