Release year20242022
Display6.3-inch Super Retina XDR OLED; 2622 × 1206, 460 ppi; ProMotion adaptive refresh up to 120 Hz

ProMotion changes the refresh rate with the content: 120 Hz smoothness when scrolling and gaming, lower rates on still images to save power. Apple quotes 1000 nits typical, 1600 nits HDR peak, 2000 nits outdoor peak and 1 nit minimum; peaks are not sustained full-screen brightness.

Apple		6.1-inch Super Retina XDR OLED; ProMotion up to 120 Hz; always-on display; Dynamic Island

ProMotion changes the refresh rate with the content: scrolling looks smoother, and the rate drops on still images to save battery. Dynamic Island uses the front camera cut-out as an area for alerts and live activities.

ChipA18 Pro; 6-core CPU (2 performance, 4 efficiency); 6-core GPU; 16-core Neural Engine

Apple says A18 Pro, built on second-generation 3 nm technology, runs the same workload 15% faster with 20% less power than the previous generation; the GPU is up to 20% faster and hardware ray tracing up to 2× faster. The chip also enables faster USB 3 transfers and ProRes recording.

Storage128, 256, 512 GB or 1 TB Apple128 GB, 256 GB, 512 GB, 1 TB

Storage cannot be expanded later; ProRes video and 48 MP ProRAW photos take a lot of space.

Apple
Rear cameras48 MP Fusion (24 mm, ƒ/1.78, second-generation sensor-shift OIS); 48 MP Ultra Wide (13 mm, ƒ/2.2); 12 MP 5× Telephoto (120 mm, ƒ/2.8, tetraprism); 2× Telephoto option (48 mm, using the Fusion sensor)

The Pro system covers a 10× optical zoom range from 0.5× to 5×, with digital zoom up to 25×. The 2× image is a 12 MP crop from the centre of the 48 MP main sensor, not a separate camera.

Apple		48 MP main; 12 MP ultra wide (120°); 12 MP 2x and 12 MP 3x telephoto; up to 15x digital zoom

The 3x telephoto is a separate lens; values up to 15x are digital zoom and lose detail.

Apple
Video4K Dolby Vision up to 120 fps; Log recording and ACES; ProRes up to 4K 120 fps with external recording

4K at 120 fps allows high-frame-rate 4K footage that can be slowed down. Log recording produces a flat image that leaves more room for colour grading. High-bit-rate ProRes needs an external drive.

Apple		4K at 24/25/30/60 fps; Cinematic mode 4K HDR at 30 fps; ProRes 4K at 30 fps; Action mode 2.8K at 60 fps; Dolby Vision HDR 4K at 60 fps

Action mode reduces shake when filming while walking or running, using software stabilisation that crops the image to 2.8K.

Apple
Front camera and controls12 MP TrueDepth (ƒ/1.9, autofocus); Face ID; Camera Control; Action button

Apple says Camera Control combines a tactile switch, a force sensor and a capacitive surface: a click opens the camera, while a light press and finger slide adjust zoom, exposure or depth of field.
