Will the iPhone 18 Pro bend?

Since the iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone 18 Pro Max became available on Friday, we’ve seen not one but two video teardowns, but wait – there’s more! Zack from the JerryRigEverything YouTube channel has also got his hands on the new devices, and proceeded to subject them to his usual "durability test".

Apple announced the iPhone 18 Pro and ‌iPhone 18 Pro‌ Max earlier this month, arriving four years after the iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro Max. Four generations of changes make for a substantial upgrade, bringing larger displays, an all-new design, improvements to every camera, significantly longer battery life, faster charging, USB-C connectivity, and support for Apple Intelligence.

Apple’s major 20th-anniversary iPhone refresh is in the works for next year. A new rumor today reiterates expectations that the iPhone 20 Pro and iPhone 20 Pro Max will have even bigger screens than the current models.

The iPhone 15 Pro replaced the stainless steel frame with titanium, introduced the Action button and USB-C port, and added the A17 Pro chip. The iPhone 16 Pro introduced larger displays with thinner borders, the Camera Control, a 48-megapixel Ultra Wide camera, and improved video and audio recording.

The iPhone 17 Pro replaced the titanium frame and glass back with an aluminum unibody, added vapor chamber cooling and Ceramic Shield 2, and upgraded both the telephoto and front-facing cameras. This year’s refresh centers on the A20 Pro chip, a variable-aperture Main camera, a smaller Dynamic Island, and a further increase in battery capacity.

The X500 Pro Max headlines the lineup with 17EV Log video, 4K/240fps recording, a 200MP ZEISS telephoto camera, and an optional 400mm-equivalent extender. Sales begin in China on September 24, but global pricing and availability details are still unconfirmed.

For iPhone 14 Pro owners, all four sets of changes accumulate. The ‌iPhone 18 Pro‌ starts at $1,199 for 256GB, $200 more than the iPhone 14 Pro’s $999 launch price, although the entry storage tier has doubled from 128GB.

Vivo has spent the past few generations turning its X-series phones into some of the most ambitious camera phones on the market. The X300 Pro impressed us with its photography chops, while the X300 Ultra pushed things even further with a huge 200MP main camera and an almost ridiculous 400mm lens attachment.

The ‌iPhone 18 Pro‌ Max starts at $1,299, also $200 more than the iPhone 14 Pro Max’s $1,099 launch price, with the same increase in base storage.
