Key features
Design
- Aluminum Unibody Frame: Apple has shifted from the titanium frame of the
iPhone 16 Pro
models to a new heat-forged aluminum unibody enclosure for better thermal performance.
- Vapor Chamber Cooling: The internal redesign incorporates a new vapor chamber with deionized water to dissipate heat from the A19 Pro chip, allowing for higher and more sustained performance.
- Redesigned Camera Plateau: The rear camera bump, now called a “plateau” by Apple, extends across the entire width of the phone. The device also features a two-toned look, with the aluminum frame having a matte finish and the glass on the back having a different texture.
- Ceramic Shield 2: The new version of Apple’s tough glass-ceramic material protects both the front and back of the phone, with claims of 3x better scratch resistance and 4x better crack resistance.
- New Finishes: The phone is available in Silver, Deep Blue, and Cosmic Orange.
- E-SIM Only (Select Regions): In certain regions, including the U.S. and Canada, the
is only available as an e-SIM model. Removing the physical SIM card tray allowed for a larger battery.
