Description
Beyond speed.
5G technology. A14 Bionic chip, the fastest in a smartphone. Edge-to-edge OLED display. Ceramic Shield, four times more resistant to drops. Night mode on each of the cameras.
The A14 Bionic chip is the fastest chip ever in a smartphone. It surpasses all expectations with its ability to process billions of operations in the Neural Engine or record in Dolby Vision, something that not even professional cameras can do. It also has high energy efficiency that ensures a long battery life. It is a revolutionary chip, ready for practically everything that the future holds.
The best iPhone display yet
Infinitely superior contrast. Stunning color accuracy. A giant leap forward in pixel density. You’ve never seen anything like it. With OLED technology, whites are brighter, blacks are deeper, and resolution is sky-high across the board. It’s the best iPhone display ever, the result of pushing innovation to the limit.
Dual camera system
Night mode now works with both Wide and Ultra Wide. But that's not all. We've also improved it so you can take great photos even in dim light. Because the new Wide angle lets in 27% more light, you'll get greater detail and unprecedented colour at any time of day, whether you're up early or late at night.
Automatic magic.
Smart HDR 3 balances the elements of the photo: here, for example, it highlights the details of the subject and the trees, and maintains the intense color of the sky, even when the sun is higher.
Portrait Mode. No one looks at you with such good eyes.
Portrait mode gives your photos an artistic touch by blurring the background to highlight the subject. The result is spectacular.
Go from photos to photons with any of six lighting effects, including High-Key Mono Light, Natural Light, and Studio Light.
Selfies with Night mode. Nothing overshadows you.
The best time to take selfies? After sunset, of course. The front camera now has Night mode, Deep Fusion, Smart HDR 3, Dolby Vision recording, and more. You'll look amazing even in the dark.
MagSafe accessories. Everything clicks.
Put a case or a MagSafe-enabled wallet on it. Or both. And don't worry: the wallet has a protection that prevents the credit card strip from demagnetizing.
Express Cargo
Magnets always align perfectly to give you ultra-fast wireless charging.
Privacy
iPhone is designed to protect your information. Face ID data never leaves your phone and isn’t stored in iCloud or anywhere else. iOS shows you the privacy practices of each app before you download it. Apple Pay doesn’t share your credit card number. The list goes on.
Ideas that leave a smaller footprint.
Across the iPhone lineup, we’ve chosen to include a USB-C to Lightning cable with ultra-fast charging that most people need instead of the power adapter and EarPods that often go unused. This reduces packaging and overall shipments by fitting more boxes into each batch. We’re also helping our manufacturing partners switch to renewable energy. Together, we’re helping us avoid emitting 2 million tons of CO₂ each year.
