Score Breakdown
Editorial
After last year's major design re-shuffle Apple is back to minimal upgrades. 18 Pro gets an obligatory new chip, faster (but overall on a slow side) charging, smaller selfie camera island and a variable exposure main camera... but the redemption lies in endurance gains brought by A20 Pro, Apple's first 2nm chip. It makes 18 Pro finish a day of use with 10-20% battery life - and that makes it a TOP Compact contender.
Pros & Cons
PROs
excellent build with great feel, good A20 Pro (2nm) chip with NVMe performance, ~30hr endurance, a <1000nits 460ppi 120Hz LTPO OLED screen with Dolby Vision, IP68 protection, very good 48MP 24mm OIS f/1.5-4.0 main + 48MP 100mm OIS periscope telephoto + 48MP 13mm ultrawide (all 3 with PDAF) setup, good "center stage" 18MP 20mm selfie, great video recording, rich OS with improved (Google) AI integration and 6+ years of updates, fast USB-C 3.2 port with Display Port, globally available
CONs
A20 Pro throttles under heavy load, small 4000mAh (4200mAh on eSIM-only version) old-tech lithium battery with 60min (from 0-100%) ~45W (25W wireless) charging, sub-1000nits bright screen could be a liability in bright conditions, no expandable memory, no desktop replacement functionality despite having Display Port tech, speaker sound could be louder, $1400 (512GB) for a minimal investment in innovation
