5 iPhone 18 Pro Max Features You'll Actually Use

I spent over $2,000 on the iPhone 18 Pro Max, so after using it for about a week, I wanted to know which features actually worth using. A week ago, I walked into the Apple Store trying to decide which one I wanted. I checked out the different colors, played around with them for a bit, and eventually made my decision. After bringing it home and actually using it for a week, I've discovered a few things that I didn't expect. So forget the long list of features you will probably never use. Here are five that you actually will. Starting with the camera. Number one. Control your background blur after you take a video. So I'm testing the new iPhone 18 Max Pro for you guys to see. I want to test a new feature to see if I can block my daughter out. I'm gonna blur you out of the frame, just as a test, just as a test. I really like this feature because it gives you more control over how your videos look. You can adjust the amount of blur in the background so you can keep it subtle or really separate yourself from everything behind you. It's simple, but it can completely change the look of your video. Number two. Limit your charging to 90% to help preserve your battery over time. This setting I changed immediately. Go into settings, scroll down and tap battery. From here, tap charging. This is where you can actually control how far your iPhone charges. Instead of charging it to 100% every single time, I have set mine to 90%. You can choose 80, 85, 90, 95 or 100%. The idea is simple. Spending less time sitting at full charge can help reduce your battery aging over time. I still get plenty of battery for one day, so 90% is the sweet spot for me. Number three might completely change the way you take photos. Have you ever recorded a video and realized afterwards that there was one perfect moment you wish you had taken as a picture? Now you don't have to take a screenshot of it. Find the exact frame you want, tap the three dots and select save video frame from your phone. Your iPhone takes that exact moment from the video and saves it directly to your photo library. And look at that, that's the photo straight from the video. Number four is one of those iPhone features you could own your phone for years and never know existed. You can actually turn the back of your iPhone into a button. Go to settings, accessibility, touch, then scroll all the way down to back tap. Here you can choose what happens when you double tap or triple tap the back of your iPhone. I'm setting my triple tap to screenshot. You can use the back tap for any other action too. So now instead of pressing two buttons every time I want to take a screenshot, three taps on the back and that's it. This is one of those features I'll actually use. And number five is perfect for traveling. Your iPhone camera can translate text right in front of you. Just point your camera at something like a menu, tap the live text icon, select the text and hit translate. And just like that, the menu is translated into English. No typing, no copying, just point your camera and translate. That was it guys. I hope you guys enjoy this video.
