Few surprises compared with the previous model, which is very similar, even though we discover how the size of the Dynamic Island was reduced, thanks to the relocation of the infrared Face ID camera, now hidden under the screen behind a section that is almost invisible from certain angles.
48 MP camera and A20 Pro chip cooling
We can also observe in detail the new larger 48 MP camera, because of the aperture system. The main processor (A20 Pro) has meanwhile been moved so as to make direct contact with the cooling system, a vapor chamber that is also larger than that of the previous model to better dissipate heat.
The Apple iPhone 18 Pro is already available. Indicative price: from €1,229 (depending on storage capacity).
