The iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone 18 Pro Max ship with iOS 27 with Apple Intelligence and the new Siri AI. They offer features like Spatial Reframing, Extend, and upgraded Clean Up. The Pro model features a 6.3-inch display, while the iPhone 18 Pro Max comes with a larger 6.9-inch display.

Apple's new A20 Pro processor powers the iPhone 18 Pro series, and this 2nm-generation chip has a six-core CPU with integrated Neural Accelerators, a seven-core GPU and a dual 16-core Neural Engine. The new chip is claimed to offer 50 percent more memory bandwidth than A19 Pro, up to 40 percent faster GPU performance, and double AI processing power.

Both smartphones feature a triple rear camera setup including a 48-megapixel Fusion primary sensor with variable aperture. This marks the first time Apple has brought adjustable aperture control to the iPhone. The new sensor is designed to improve low-light photography.
