Apple's latest flagships just hit the market, and things aren't going smoothly. The iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone 18 Pro Max launched to immediate reports of serious hardware and software glitches. Users are already complaining about display defects, Face ID failures, and camera problems that shouldn't exist on a phone at this price point.
The most common complaint is a green or pink line appearing on the display. That's exactly the kind of thing that kills the premium phone experience. Then there's the Face ID bug, which is causing phones to restart or freeze without warning. Imagine unlocking your phone and suddenly it just locks up on you. It's not just annoying, it's a productivity killer.
The camera issue might be the weirdest of the bunch. Apple's variable aperture lens has a 6-blade mechanism that's apparently getting triggered by magnets. If you're using a third-party MagSafe accessory, the magnetic field can actually close the camera shutter, blocking your shots entirely. That's a recipe for frustration if you've invested in MagSafe gear.
Despite these problems, the iPhone 18 Pro is already selling in India starting at Rs 1,64,900 for the base model, with the Pro Max variant coming in at Rs 1,79,900. At those prices, customers are definitely expecting a flawless experience right out of the box. Apple will likely need to address these issues quickly through software updates and potential hardware replacements before the situation gets worse. If you're thinking about upgrading, it might be worth waiting a bit for Apple to iron out these wrinkles.
