iPhone 11 Pro Max Review: Worthy of a “PRO” Label?

Four months after launch, we’ve gotten some software updates.

Expectations are SUPER high for this phone. Not only because it’s the most expensive 4G phone of 2019, but also because Apple’s done something bold here. Joining the Mac, MacBook, and iPad, there’s now a “PRO” version of the iPhone.
