The iPhone 18 Pro, launched alongside Apple's first folding phone, introduces key upgrades for 2026. It features a redesigned cooling system and a new A20 Pro chip, approximately 27% faster than its predecessor, with a 45% boost in graphics performance.
Battery life has been extended by six hours, offering up to two days of use on a single charge with typical usage. The device runs iOS 27, which includes a significantly improved Siri, now referred to as Siri AI, leveraging Google's AI technologies for enhanced understanding and response capabilities.
A notable camera enhancement is the addition of a variable aperture to the main 48MP sensor, allowing for better low-light performance and creative control. Other camera improvements include AI-powered focus tracking and Apple Reference Image for authenticity verification.
The iPhone 18 Pro also features a refined design with a smaller notch for the Face ID camera, expanding the dynamic island's display capacity. The 6.3-inch Super Retina XDR display remains a highlight, praised for its brightness, clarity, and smooth 120Hz refresh rate.
The device incorporates over 40% recycled material and maintains a strong focus on repairability, receiving a seven out of ten from iFixit. Pricing starts at £1,199, reflecting an increase over previous models.
