Reviews Roundup: iPhone 18 Pro Max, MW4, and AI Gadgets

Eight reviews dropped in a single day, led by the iPhone 18 Pro Max, which earned HotHardware's Editor's Choice for its A20 Pro chip, variable aperture camera, and Google-matching Siri AI at prices from $1,299. Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4 drew the boldest praise, with a reviewer calling it "possibly the best Call of Duty ever" thanks to its cinematic campaign, revived DMZ, and classic multiplayer. The loudest trend came from two AI peripherals, the $99.99 Logitech MX Keypad and the $169.99 Razer Basilisk V4 Pro, each adding programmable AI shortcuts to their designs. Tying the batch together are a push toward efficiency over raw specs, heavy reliance on ecosystem lock-in, and rising prices that make even strong drives like the Golden Award-winning KIOXIA EXCERIA G3 feel pricey.
