The hardware basis of the model is the most powerful six-core mobile Apple A13 Bionic at the time of release, which can solve problems of any complexity, whether it is resource-intensive processing of captured videos or running demanding games like GRID Autosport or The Elder Scrolls: Blades.

The 5.8-inch Super Retina XDR display is amazing in every way, be it brightness, contrast, colour reproduction and viewing angles. Of course, it supports the much-loved True Tone feature, which adjusts the backlight of the display to the ambient light, so the picture never looks dull or overexposed. The 3D Touch function has been replaced by the new Haptic Touch technology, which improves tactile feedback after touching the device's display. For this, a tiny vibration motor is used.


The smartphone camera received the most significant update package. Apple decided to keep up with the competition and for the first time used three different modules in the camera instead of two. This list includes a 12MP main sensor (f/1.8, OIS), a 12MP wide-angle (120-degree, f/2.4) and a telephoto lens (f/2.0, OIS, 2x zoom). Machine learning is used for night mode: detail is preserved even at night due to automatic shooting of several frames into one. This thing is called Deep Fusion. The smartphone rightly occupies the top lines of the podium in the discipline of "mobile photography" and records video in 4K very well.

Other strengths of the smartphone include a premium waterproof body (materials: metal and glass), stereo speakers with Dolby Atmos support, wireless charging support, NFC, 30% faster Face ID, and Wi-Fi 6 and Bluetooth 5 connectivity. For once, the user will not have to buy basic accessories that Apple has never been cheap. In the box with the smartphone are EarPods and 18W fast charging with USB-C connector.
