What's new about the iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone 18 Pro Max?
There's plenty for Apple fanatics to get excited about.
Take the iPhone 18 Pro's camera system for instance, which Apple claims is its best ever.
We're talking a 48MP Fusion Main camera, designed to capture brighter, sharper and clearer footage.
And for those of us with clumsy hands, there’s good news: the new iPhone boasts three times better scratch resistance than the iPhone 16 Pro, thanks to a strong aluminium shield.
So, if you do happen to send it flying, it might just survive the fall.
Meanwhile, the Pro Max packs Apple’s biggest battery-life boost to date - excellent news for anyone who's constantly forgetting to pack their charger. You can find out more on the official Raylo website here.
