Apple’s chief successor to last year’s batch of mobiles is the new iPhone 18 Pro.
Like before, it comes in two versions: a regular Pro model, and a slightly larger Pro Max version.
The back of the phone has also changed to feature a more smooth finish.
On last year’s model, the rear pane of the phone had a large cut-out area with a slightly different colour.

Powering the iPhone 18 Pro is Apple’s new and speedy A20 Pro chip.
It’s a brand new processor that should deliver more performance and better battery efficiency versus older chips.
And, importantly, Apple is talking it up as having powerful AI chops.
Apple is using three cameras on the back of the phone again this year.

And once again, they’ll sit on a raised, phone-wide plateau that sets the Pro apart from cheaper models.
The three lenses on offer are, once again, wide, ultra-wide, and telephoto.
Apple’s new mobiles run on the latest iOS 27 software, which isn’t out for general release yet.
It was unveiled back in June at Apple’s annual WWDC event, and likely arrives for the public early next week.
The biggest improvement comes to Siri, bringing the long-waited AI upgrade that transforms her into a super-powerful assistant.
You can now extend and even re-frame photos that you’ve already taken using AI.
And parental controls have received a major overhaul that gives you much broader powers to limit what your youngster can do with their iPhone.
As well as that, iOS 27 also makes the iPhone run faster generally, with some clever tweaks boosting app launch times, AirDrop transfer speeds, and even how quickly photos load after you’ve snapped them.
iCloud Shared Albums now support full-resolution photos – although they now take up iCloud Storage space, closing a longstanding loophole.
And the Health app adds support for perimenopause and menopause in the Cycle Tracking feature.
The big reveal took place at Apple’s special Surprise and Shine event in Cupertino, California today.
Apple hosts this iPhone launch event annually in the Steve Jobs Theatre at its Apple Park campus.
It’s an important time for Apple for several reasons.
Firstly, we’re fast-approaching the 20-year anniversary of the original iPhone launch in 2007.
And secondly, this event is the first hosted by brand new Apple chief John Ternus.
John took over from long-time CEO Tim Cook on September 1.
It marks a major shift for Apple, given that Tim had been hand-picked for the role by Steve Jobs before the founder died from pancreatic cancer in 2011.

Tim led Apple to phenomenal heights, taking the company to a valuation of $5 trillion earlier this year.

He remains employed by Apple, stepping away from daily operations but continuing as Executive Chairman.
The former boss appeared briefly in an opening sequence for the event, but Ternus hosted the bulk of the keynote.
