There's also a new thermal management system, reducing overheating.

The short version

  • There’s also a new thermal management system, reducing overheating.
  • CUPERTINO, Calif.—Apple’s new iPhone 18 Pro is an iterative update that—as usual—focuses heavily on both performance and new camera features.
  • This time around, many of the new camera features are oriented around giving the user more direct control of the image, rather than depending entirely on Apple’s computational photography assumptions.

What happened

As usual, the new iPhone has a new chip. It’s called A20 Pro, and it’s the first 2 nm chip for the iPhone.

Why it matters

It has a 6-core CPU, with two super-cores that are up to 20 percent faster, and four efficiency cores.
