The latest iPhone models

iPhone Duo is the first foldable iPhone, featuring a breakthrough design that’s beautiful, versatile, and durable. iPhone Duo opens to a large 7.6-inch inner display for viewing content, gaming, and multitasking, and closes to a compact, pocketable 5.4-inch outer display. Built to last with an innovative hardware design and precision hinge, iPhone Duo is powered by A20 Pro to deliver pro performance and impressive all-day battery life, and offers an advanced camera system, with the folding design unlocking fun new ways to use the camera that aren’t possible on any other iPhone. iOS 27 is also reimagined for the versatile ways users can interact with iPhone Duo. iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone 18 Pro Max offer the new 48MP Fusion Main camera with variable aperture, the most advanced camera Apple has ever made, and new Pro controls let users customise their experience. Powered by A20 Pro, iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone 18 Pro Max deliver huge leaps in battery life and performance. iPhone Duo and iPhone 18 Pro models feature Apple Intelligence1 and Siri AI2, an entirely new version of Siri, rolling out in beta in English with iOS 27, to bring AI capabilities together with a user’s personal context to become an intelligent personal hub with privacy and security at the core. iPhone Duo is available in two refined colours: star white and night sky. iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone 18 Pro Max are available in four elegant finishes: black, silver, glacier, and an all-new burgundy.

iPhone Duo and iPhone 18 Pro models feature eSIM3, offering greater flexibility, better security, and seamless connectivity compared to traditional physical SIM cards. iPhone Duo features an eSIM-only design that saves internal space to maximise battery capacity.

With watchOS 27, Apple Intelligence comes to the wrist, bringing Siri AI to Apple Watch Series 12 and Apple Watch Ultra 4 with personal context understanding and broad world knowledge.5 Arriving later this year, new Audio Intelligence features roll out in beta in English to help users stay aware of the world around them, catch what they missed, and remember key moments — with user control, privacy, security, and accessibility at the centre of their design6.

AirPods 5

AirPods 5 deliver the industry’s best Active Noise Cancellation (ANC)7 in an open-ear design, powered by a new multiport acoustic architecture and next-generation Adaptive EQ for even more immersive sound. Their breakthrough open-ear ANC removes up to 50 percent more external noise compared to the previous generation, alongside a more natural Transparency mode. Combined with Siri AI and iPhone, AirPods enable users to draw on their personal context and get answers with broad world knowledge, entirely hands-free. Users can also respond to Siri using head gestures or use Live Translation to help connect across languages.
