The iPhone 18 Pro is becoming a better tool. So why does it no longer feel like Apple’s most premium phone?

From Garmin and the gold Apple Watch Edition to the Sony FX3, this video explores how tools became status symbols, why we love capabilities we may never use, and what that means for the iPhone Pro and Duo.
