Apple’s iPhone 18 Pro could end up being one of its most effective weapons next year. Though it’s not because it will be cheap, but because the competition may be getting even more expensive.

But if you are a regular Android user, I would recommend installing it only on a secondary device, and not your daily driver Android phone.  This release supports system…
