Apple Intelligence and Siri AI are integrated throughout iOS 27, while Wi-Fi 7, Bluetooth 6, 5G, eSIM, USB-C, MagSafe charging, satellite communication features, Face ID, Camera Control, and the Action button are included for modern connectivity and everyday convenience.

Key Features

A20 Pro Chip with Advanced AI Processing

The A20 Pro chip is powered by a 6-core CPU with 2 super cores and 4 efficiency cores, a 7-core GPU with Neural Accelerators, and a Dual 16-core Neural Engine. Hardware-accelerated ray tracing is supported, while greater thermal efficiency is provided through an M-class-inspired packaging design and a larger next-generation vapor chamber.

Up to 40% better sustained performance than iPhone 17 Pro is stated to be delivered, while AI processing is supported through higher memory bandwidth, dedicated Neural Accelerators, and increased Neural Engine compute.

48MP Pro Fusion Triple-Camera System

Three 48MP rear cameras are included so high-resolution photography can be captured across multiple focal lengths.

The 48MP Fusion Main camera is equipped with a variable aperture system offering ƒ/1.48, ƒ/1.8, ƒ/2.8, and ƒ/4.0 settings. Lighting and depth of field can be automatically adjusted, while manual Pro controls can also be used.

The 48MP Fusion Ultra Wide camera provides a 13 mm focal length, 120° field of view, and macro photography support.

The 48MP Fusion Telephoto camera provides 4x and 8x optical-quality telephoto options with a tetraprism design and 3D sensor-shift optical image stabilization.

Variable Aperture Main Camera

The Main camera aperture can be adjusted between:

• ƒ/1.48

• ƒ/1.8

• ƒ/2.8

• ƒ/4.0

Better control over lighting, subject separation, portraits, low-light scenes, and cinematic footage can therefore be achieved.

Advanced Pro Camera Controls

Professional camera adjustments can be accessed directly in the Camera app. Controls are provided for:

• Lens aperture

• Shutter speed

• White balance

• Histogram viewing

Frequently used settings can also be brought forward for quicker access.

Photographic Styles 3

Color and tone can be customized while additional texture and grain adjustments are supported. Skin detail can be softened or film-inspired looks can be created, while applied effects can later be adjusted or reversed.

Intelligent Photo Editing

Apple Intelligence is used to support advanced photo editing features. Photos can be reframed with Spatial Reframing, image boundaries can be extended, and larger unwanted objects can be removed using the enhanced Clean Up tool.

Usage limits may apply.

Smart Focus Tracking

Subjects can be automatically tracked using on-device intelligence. Focus can continue to be maintained while a subject moves through a scene, including situations where the subject temporarily leaves and later reenters the frame.

8x Optical-Quality Zoom

Up to 8x optical-quality zoom is provided, while a total 16x optical-quality zoom range is supported. Digital zoom up to 40x is also available for photography.

48MP Macro Photography

The Fusion Ultra Wide camera can be used for high-resolution macro photography, allowing close-up subjects and fine details to be captured.
