      At one minute 37 second mark . What do you mean about the iPhone 11 Pro Max $1300.? I’m very confuse. They still sell the iPhone 11 Pro Max? And are you saying more expensive? some of the newer ones?

    Did not recognise Patrick for a second but congrats on the weight loss. Also, the iPhone 18 Pro did make good improvements with having the 3x larger vapour chamber and the aperture lens which Samsung had previously

  3. @Mr98848

    September 10, 2026 at 4:25 pm

    Why do you even so excited for the tech that exisisted years back

  4. @Nomadicways

    September 10, 2026 at 4:25 pm

    Wtf, Whoa!

  5. @josesabat1710

    September 10, 2026 at 4:40 pm

    Wait you don’t look like Patrick. Looking great.

  6. @fluxem3908

    September 10, 2026 at 4:41 pm

    Auto aperture? – you don’t say. My point-n-shoot camera from 2005 has that

  7. @bgpbgdbgh

    September 10, 2026 at 4:47 pm

    Wow. Phenomenal. Successful losing weight. Way much impressive than iPhone 👍

  8. @FIL716

    September 10, 2026 at 4:48 pm

    I’m definitely sticking with my 16 Pro model.

  9. @jfr43

    September 10, 2026 at 5:07 pm

    Let’s put the iPhones at side for a second let’s talk about your secret. You’re looking good my guy😮

  11. @bdawg333

    THOSE PRICES THO!

  12. @0forintoskommentelő

    September 10, 2026 at 5:25 pm

    iPhone 17 is 899$ plus tax 929$ in TX

  13. @Andy1341000

    September 10, 2026 at 5:30 pm

    Aperture features are the very underwhelming especially on a phone. Hoping for better upgrades next year.

  14. @WorldTravelerNX01

    September 10, 2026 at 5:39 pm

    What in the Ozempic!!!

  15. @jamesroche6138

    September 10, 2026 at 5:47 pm

    Will video record actually focus on moving objects in background and will aperture work automatically deciding when to open close etc

  16. @chobedap5999

    September 10, 2026 at 6:07 pm

    That Camera start Samsung Galaxy S9

  17. @laborspy

    September 10, 2026 at 6:46 pm

    Samsung dropped the aperture years ago because nobody asked for it

  18. @volcalstone

    September 10, 2026 at 6:48 pm

    Apple had to raise the prices on the iPhone 17 and Air as well which is such an Apple move. They know people will buy those instead of paying a lot more now for the 18 Pro phones.

  19. @dazza9859

    September 10, 2026 at 6:49 pm

    Congrats to Patrick .He has lost a lot a weight and looks well.

  20. @Jaypolomayne

    September 10, 2026 at 7:11 pm

    Yay new colors and a slightly better cameras Apple yall need to step it up

  21. @Jaypolomayne

  22. @doug9434

    September 10, 2026 at 7:51 pm

    I am buying. Price is steep but coming from a 13 Pro. It’s time.

  23. @hamburglar83

    September 10, 2026 at 8:05 pm

    Losing weight make you sound different? Congrats

    Apple are having themselves on.
    Why release a phone every year if you don’t actually improve anything.
    I went from iPhone 12 to IPhone 17 last year.
    There was hardly any improvement.
    A little camera tweak
    Now this camera tweak and a price rise no thank you.

    I’ve defended Apple for years but since Steve Jobs you are not innovating at all.
    You’re following and not even doing that good.

    You better start making phones to hook up to Starlink asap or Elon will pull the rug.

    The future is Starlink satellite phones all the Telecommunication companies in the world will not be around in 10 years.

    Sell your shares now and get out.

  25. @SamD253

    September 10, 2026 at 8:53 pm

    Just 4 stops? Gimmick?

  26. @RandoCalrizzian67

    September 11, 2026 at 12:27 am

    He had every opportunity to describe aperture like your pupil because pupils grow and shrink depending on light and when you adjust aperture on a camera, mechanically it even looks like a pupil. But he went with eye lids which simply go up and down.

  27. @NK-GB6756

    September 11, 2026 at 12:52 am

    Whoa it that you Patrick ? You look incredible man .

  28. @Takcci

    September 11, 2026 at 12:53 am

    Patrick looking good man 😎👍

  29. @AdrianoJolivesi

    September 11, 2026 at 1:42 am

    Extra 1 stop:
    “I’m like a photographer now”
    😂😂😂
    Pathetic upgrade.
    Battery life? No one believes that.
    Vapor chamber? Wow big deal. 🙄
    Faster chip? Yeah we’ll notice the difference 🤔
    Not worth the upgrade.

  30. @paulcfyeung

    September 11, 2026 at 3:35 am

    O my, I could not recognise him! What a transformation! 😮

  31. @alensufli

    September 11, 2026 at 3:51 am

    if you don’t wait for iphone 20 year anniversary version and buy this then you don’t know what you are doing

  32. @EkachSahebPatilSaheb

    September 11, 2026 at 4:26 am

    iPhone 18 Pro is adult now😂

  33. @CorePixels

    September 11, 2026 at 5:41 am

    I haven’t been on this channel in a while and seen you. You get on ozempic or you just actually did the gym work? Also, your voice sounds SO much different than i remember, idk why that is. This stands out more than any iphone stuff to me here.

  34. @robdean1123

    September 11, 2026 at 5:57 am

    This is my next phone in 2028 and I will buy it 2nd hand.

  35. @JohnLeeXina

    September 11, 2026 at 8:22 am

    squinting and opening your eyes is not the best example to describe an aperture lol 0:21

  36. @TràĐặcNgôn

    September 11, 2026 at 8:34 am

    *What do you think is the charging capacity of this year’s iPhone 18 Pro Max? Which color is best worth buying when it comes to durability if the painted area is scratched?*

  37. @mephisto1025

    September 11, 2026 at 8:47 am

    It’s actually more like an eye pupil not an eyelid. Eyelids open an close . An eye pupils open wider due to light an decrease in size when light is reduced. Just a minor correction 😂

  38. @MohdFirdaus-lk2dm

    September 11, 2026 at 9:49 am

    You are awesome Patrick 😊❤

  39. @g7yphon

    September 11, 2026 at 10:15 am

    Will moving parts be future proof or it will be susceptible to wear and tear ?

  40. @realhamza2001

    September 11, 2026 at 10:16 am

    I know this is unrelated but give the Quran a read :)).

  41. @apluspressurecleaning3758

    September 11, 2026 at 11:42 am

    Amazing that the target of this video has NO concept of how the human eye, OR a SLR film camera actually works. “Squinting eyes” is the analogy.

  42. @allhndlestooken

    September 11, 2026 at 1:07 pm

    Correction: RAM prices are up because of *Surveillance centers and A.I.

  45. @KARAGJOZI

    September 11, 2026 at 3:46 pm

    What about the camera button control, they didnt mention it at the event

  46. @forrealitsjohnny

    September 11, 2026 at 4:15 pm

    The iPhone 18 is just a 17s

    September 11, 2026 at 7:48 pm

    All this phone did was make me excited for the air 2. I really hope they can add stereo speakers and the bigger camera sensor, and a bigger battery. Even the smaller pro is a BRICK.
