The ridiculous hype around the new iPhone Duo has somewhat overshadowed the iPhone 18 Pro and 18 Pro Max, but these devices are amazing in their own right. Crucially, you can also get a device delivered to your house right away without facing a several-month waiting list.
One of the best deals I’ve seen on these handsets is over at Boost Mobile. Right now, the carrier is offering a $200 discount on the iPhone 18 Pro Max when you pair it up with a new line on Boost’s Unlimited Premium plan. That’s a well-featured plan that comes in at just $60 per month for 50GB of premium data speeds, mobile hotspot, and global talk and text.
Considering you don’t have to trade in to be eligible for a discount, this deal is really flexible if you’re looking to pair up a premium device with a reasonably priced plan. If you do want to trade, though, that’s still an option at Boost if you want to drive those discounts up even further.

Is the iPhone 18 Pro Max better than the Duo?
Not exactly, but it is cheaper, and it features a few things that are missing from the iPhone Duo. For example, the iPhone 18 Pro and 18 Pro Max both feature a telephoto lens, a useful action button, and Face ID. They’re the natural choice if you’re an avid mobile photographer looking for the most versatile device possible.
The rest of the decision is likely to come down to taste and use case. If you’d prefer to have a larger screen for gaming or productivity tasks, then the iPhone Duo will be hard to beat. On the other hand, the iPhone 18 Pro Max will appeal to those looking for a more traditional device that’s still exceptionally premium.
