I’ve traveled all over the world with the iPhone 17 Pro Max during the past year, but I think the iPhone 18 Pro and Pro Max have made the right changes for someone like me who’s constantly on the go. The new Pro phones debuted last week at the company’s “Surprise and Shine” event , and I think three new features in particular will solve the gripes I’ve had with my orange 17 Pro Max as a traveling companion. While I am in awe of the Ceramic Shield 2 durability that impressively protected my screen, I wouldn’t call it the best travel phone. It gets warm to the touch in hot weather and doesn’t offer the same pleasing camera experience as Android heavyweights like the Vivo X300 Ultra , Xiaomi 17 Ultra or the Oppo Find X9 Ultra . That’s why I’m stoked for the camera upgrades on Apple’s new models. But I’m most excited about two comparatively minor upgrades, too
