The iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone 18 Pro Max are now in reviewer hands, and 9to5Mac's first question is the right one: is the upgrade visible at all.
This video is an unboxing and first-impressions comparison, not a full review. The value is in the immediate, hands-on reaction to the physical hardware and out-of-box experience before benchmarks and long-term testing cloud the judgment.
If you are deciding whether to upgrade from an iPhone 16 Pro or earlier, watch this before the spec sheets convince you. The honest answer to whether you can tell the difference is exactly what the full video is built around.
