iPhone 18 Pro narrowly misses out on Dxomark's top spot

The iPhone 18 Pro is still a strong device for photography enthusiasts.

The iPhone 18 Pro has landed in second place iin Dxomark’s camera testing, trailing Huawei’s Pura 80 Ultra despite class-leading low-light photography and strong video stabilization. Weaker telephoto performance, long-range zoom and occasional color inconsistencies keep it from the top spot.

I first became acquainted with computers in my early teens after a broken leg from a football (soccer) match temporarily condemned me to a predominately indoor lifestyle. Soon afterwards I was building my own systems. Having studied philosophy and anthropology, I am particularly fascinated by how computer technology has fundamentally and dramatically reshaped human culture, and how it continues to do so.
