CUPERTINO, Calif.βApple's new iPhone 18 Pro is an iterative update thatβas usualβfocuses 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.
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. It has a 6-core CPU, with two super-cores that are up to 20 percent faster, and four efficiency cores. A 7-core GPU offers up to 40 percent improved performance and increased bandwidth.
The A20 Pro also has a new Neural Engineβthe machine-learning processor on the system-on-chipβwhich the company says is basically two Neural Engines on one chip.
Appleβs "Surprise and shine" iPhone event is just around the corner, and the big unveiling is set to answer a ton of questions about the company's upcoming line of devices.
The standard iPhone 18 could get 12GB of RAM instead of the previously rumored 9GB, potentially giving it enough memory to run more of Appleβs on-device AI features.
Apple is expected to announce the new iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone 18 Pro Max in September, with its first foldable iPhone, dubbed iPhone Ultra, also in the cards.
