It runs iOS 27 and ships in four finishes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat makes the variable aperture camera different?\u003c\/strong\u003e This is the headline change. \u003cstrong\u003eSix laser-cut blades physically move between four aperture settings\u003c\/strong\u003e, adjusting depth of field and light intake the way a real camera lens does. Until now, every iPhone had a fixed aperture and simulated background blur in software. This is mechanical.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eYou can leave it automatic or take manual control through a new Pro controls panel that also exposes shutter speed, white balance and a live histogram. Apple has opened an API so third-party camera apps can drive the aperture range directly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow fast is the A20 Pro chip?\u003c\/strong\u003e It is Apple's first processor built on a \u003cstrong\u003e2-nanometre process\u003c\/strong\u003e, with a 6-core CPU split into 2 performance cores and 4 efficiency cores, plus a 6-core GPU. Apple has added a \u003cstrong\u003esecond Neural Engine\u003c\/strong\u003e, positioning this as its most capable on-device AI hardware to date.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDoes it run hot under load?\u003c\/strong\u003e A redesigned thermal system with a \u003cstrong\u003evapor chamber\u003c\/strong\u003e moves heat away from the processor far more effectively than previous generations. The practical result is sustained performance during long video recording, gaming sessions or exports, rather than throttling after a few minutes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow long does the battery last?\u003c\/strong\u003e Up to \u003cstrong\u003e36 hours of video playback\u003c\/strong\u003e on the eSIM-only model. Removing the physical SIM tray freed internal space for a larger cell, adding roughly two hours over a tray-equipped equivalent. Charging reaches 50% in about 15 minutes wired, or around 30 minutes wirelessly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat changed with the Dynamic Island?\u003c\/strong\u003e It is physically smaller, and now displays \u003cstrong\u003ethree Live Activities simultaneously\u003c\/strong\u003e rather than one. If you track a flight, a delivery and a timer at once, all three stay visible without switching between them.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat colours does it come in?\u003c\/strong\u003e Four: \u003cstrong\u003eblack, silver, glacier (blue) and burgundy (red)\u003c\/strong\u003e. Burgundy is new this generation and is typically the first finish to sell out.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat storage options are available?\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cstrong\u003e256GB, 512GB, 1TB and 2TB.\u003c\/strong\u003e The base tier is 256GB — Apple no longer sells a 128GB Pro model.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs it eSIM only in the UAE?\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eYes.\u003c\/strong\u003e UAE iPhone 18 Pro models have \u003cstrong\u003eno physical SIM tray\u003c\/strong\u003e and activate by eSIM only.
