Apple says the iPhone 18 Pro Max lasts up to forty-five hours. So how long does it really last? And does it beat Android?
In an independent lab test, it ran for about nineteen hours of mixed use. That's over an hour more than last year's model, and almost three hours more than the Galaxy S26 Ultra.
After seven hours of YouTube streaming, it still had forty-two percent left. The Galaxy had twenty-seven.
It charges fast too. Fifty percent in about fifteen minutes, with the right adapter.
Apple's forty-five hours is a lab video test. In real life, expect a heavy day with plenty left over, or two days of light use.
All the numbers, and how to make it last longer, are on geekygoo dot com.
