On the evening of September 16, when most Vietnamese users were still waiting for the official opening day, a series of videos experiencing genuine Vietnamese iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone 18 Pro Max began to appear on technology channels.
The videos focus on real-world experience instead of just introducing specifications. Viewers can directly observe the design, color, feeling of holding the device, how Apple completes the product as well as changes compared to iPhone 17 Pro and iPhone 17 Pro Max.
The overall design of iPhone 18 Pro and 18 Pro Max still retains many familiar features from the previous generation. This is also a point mentioned by reviewers when placing the device next to iPhone 17 Pro and 17 Pro Max.
In the product unboxing experience video, reviewer Duy Tham assessed that the iPhone 18 Pro Max does not have too much change in appearance compared to the previous generation. More notable upgrades are in the hardware, including a miniaturized Dynamic Island, a new camera cluster and an upgraded indoor cooling system.
An easily noticeable detail right when opening the box is how Apple packages accessories. According to Duy Tham's video, the box no longer has a manual, the device only comes with a charging cable and a SIM pin.
When holding the device in hand, the surface is also noted by reviewers as being quite easy to leave fingerprints, especially in dark color versions.
On the front, the sensor cluster serving Face ID is located hidden below the screen, making the display area more seamless. This is one of the notable design changes on iPhone 18 Pro and Pro Max.
Regarding operating capabilities, Duy Tham focuses on upgrades in the camera and indoor cooling system. The cooling system has been upgraded compared to the previous generation, aiming to maintain more stable performance when the machine operates for a long time. The main camera has also been improved with the ability to adjust the aperture.
Having both iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone 18 Pro Max in hand, reviewer Vinh Xo said that color is one of the points that attracts attention when looking at the device in reality, especially in new color versions. This reviewer also mentioned improved battery life, heat dissipation and charging speed.
Besides the device, Vinh Xo introduced some new genuine accessories for iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone 18 Pro Max, including MagSafe back covers and accessories. These products are designed to be synchronized with the device in terms of material, color and connectivity.
Reviewers having the device experience before the opening day helps users have a more visual view of the product, from color, grip feeling to changes in design and hardware.
Meanwhile, many customers who have pre-ordered iPhone 18 Pro and Pro Max are still waiting for the delivery schedule, some versions have a delivery time extended to October 2026.
