Editorial
(this is a pre-test listing based on reasonable expectation of battery, charging and imaging performance) After a major design re-shuffle with previous model Apple is back to it's "minimal upgrades" ways. 18 Pro gets a obligatory new chip and a variable exposure main camera... and that's pretty much it. Pay extra $100 for it.
