the iphone 18 pro max fixed my 17 pro max nightmare.

My iPhone 17 Pro Max spent a year dropping signal, draining its battery and glitching out on iOS 27... so after almost two months with the iPhone 18 Pro Max, did Apple actually fix it? Here's what's better, what's still buggy, and whether it's worth YOUR money! I brought the Glacier Blue iPhone 18 Pro Max along for a few days of fun (yes, including an 80 km IKEA run) to talk through what actually changed in real life: the new modem and signal, battery life and fast charging, iOS 27, the variable aperture camera, shooting LOG with the Blackmagic Camera app, RAW photos, and why it still comes everywhere with me even though I switched to the iPhone Duo!
