Display & Design

• Screen: 6.9-inch Super Retina XDR OLED with 120Hz ProMotion.

• Brightness: 1000 nits typical, 1600 nits HDR, and a massive 3000 nits peak outdoor brightness — ideal for reviewing color-accurate proofs in bright studio or outdoor lighting.

• Build: Heat-forged aluminum unibody (a shift away from the previous generation’s titanium), Ceramic Shield 2 front and back glass, and IP68 water/dust resistance.

• Dimensions & Weight: 163.4 x 78.0 x 8.75 mm; weighs 233g (8.22 oz).

Pro Camera System

• Main (Wide): 48MP Fusion (ƒ/1.78) with second-generation sensor-shift optical image stabilization.

• Ultra Wide: 48MP Fusion (ƒ/2.2) with a 120° field of view.

• Telephoto: 48MP Fusion (ƒ/2.8) with 3D sensor-shift stabilization. The upgrade to a 48MP sensor here significantly improves detail retention for tight product or macro shots, enabling up to 8x optical-quality zoom.

• Front Camera: 18MP Center Stage camera featuring a unique square sensor designed for automatic landscape/portrait reframing without rotating the device.

• Formats: Full ProRAW support, up to 4K 120fps ProRes recording, Apple Log 2, and Academy Color Encoding System (ACES) integration.

Performance & Core Hardware

• Processor: A19 Pro chip (3nm) featuring a 6-core CPU, a 6-core GPU with hardware-accelerated ray tracing, and a 16-core Neural Engine.

• Cooling: Introduction of a vapor chamber thermal system. This prevents thermal throttling during sustained high-load tasks, like batch-exporting RAW files.

• Memory & Storage: 12GB RAM. Available in 256GB, 512GB, 1TB, and 2TB configurations (the 128GB tier was dropped).

Connectivity & Power

• Battery: 4,832 mAh capacity.

• Charging: 40W fast charging (up to 50% in roughly 20 minutes) via USB-C.

• Data & Wireless: USB-C 3.2 (crucial for rapid, high-bandwidth tethering to a workstation), Wi-Fi 7, Bluetooth 6.0, and a Qualcomm Snapdragon X80 modem.
