Apple's new iPhone 18 Pro Max can see speeds fall to 1.1 MB/s, according to itavisen.no. The Norwegian tech outlet published the claim on Tuesday, September 22, 2026, the same day Apple's latest devices reached retail.
The report gives no further detail on what triggers the drop or which conditions produce it. The figure stands as reported by itavisen.no alone.
Separately, Tek.no reports that repair specialist iFixit is warning that the iPhone 18 Pro is harder to fix than earlier models. That assessment adds to a broader discussion about how repairable Apple's newest phones are.
Apple said its new iPhone, Apple Watch and AirPods models are now on sale in stores worldwide. In Trondheim, Norwegian outlet Nidaros described customers waiting outside a shop before it opened, with one buyer, Bjørn, saying he came prepared.
Not everyone is rushing in. Vietnam.vn published a piece asking why owners of the iPhone 17 Pro feel little urgency to move to the iPhone 18 Pro, suggesting the upgrade case is not obvious for last year's buyers.
Taken together, the coverage around launch day is mixed: strong retail interest in some places, questions about real-world performance, and scrutiny over how difficult the new Pro model is to repair.
What to watch next: whether Apple or independent testers confirm the reported 1.1 MB/s figure, and how iFixit's repair findings affect the iPhone 18 Pro's reception.
