  "account": "Apple unveiled its newest iPhones, the iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone 18 Pro Max, highlighting substantial improvements in camera capabilities, battery efficiency, and artificial intelligence (AI) processing power. The flagship phones are driven by the A20 Pro chip, built on a 2-nanometer architecture. This marks the first iPhone with a main camera capable of variable aperture, a first for the iPhone line. Apple's Senior Vice President of Worldwide Marketing, Greg Joswiak, emphasized how this lineup represents a leap forward in camera, performance, and battery compared to previous models, quoting from the company's official website statement. The iPhone 18 Pro and 18 Pro Max share the same camera setup, featuring a 48MP Fusion main camera with a variable aperture that uses six laser blades for dynamic lighting and depth control. This camera system supports manual settings, 4K 120 fps Dolby Vision video, and Apple's new digital authentication of images. Under the hood, the A20 Pro chip offers a 6-core CPU, 7-core GPU, and a powerful dual 16-core Neural Engine for on-device AI processing. This upgrade delivers up to 40 percent more sustained performance and a new vapor chamber cooling system boasting 50 percent more surface area than before. Battery life is markedly improved with an iPhone 18 Pro lasting up to 34 hours of video playback and the iPhone 18 Pro Max up to 43 hours or 29 hours of daily use, with just a short charge delivering up to seven hours of video. The devices boast Super Retina XDR displays with a sleeker Dynamic Island, now capable of showing up to three Live Activities without disrupting Face ID. Connectivity includes Wi-Fi 7, Bluetooth 6, Thread, and an AI-enhanced C2 cellular modem, which is 15 percent more efficient. iOS 27 powers these devices, promising expanded safety features and a revamped interface. Storage options range from 256 GB to 2 TB, with the iPhone 18 Pro starting at US$1,199 (Rp21.1 million) and the iPhone 18 Pro Max priced at US$1,299 (Rp22.9 million) in the U.S. market.",
