Gruber questions whether iPhone 18 Pro is Apple's true flagship as Duo steals focus

Gruber publishes iPhone 18 Pro review questioning its flagship status

John Gruber publishes a review of the iPhone 18 Pro noting that it is the 20th new flagship iPhone model since 2007, with a complete historical list of all releases. He describes the device as "the best version of the most successful product ever made" but acknowledges it lacks excitement due to how it improved.

The Verge

“It's the best version of the most successful product ever made. And yet by nature of *how* the iPhone 18 Pro improved in the last year, it's not exciting at all.”
