Apple has unveiled four new iPhone models for 2025, alongside changes to the wider line-up. Here’s what you need to know.
The standard iPhone now has a larger 6.3-inch display with ProMotion for smoother scrolling and brighter outdoor performance.

It runs on the new A19 chip, with improved efficiency and battery life. A 48MP main camera delivers sharper photos and better low-light results, while the new 18MP Center Stage front camera widens selfies and stabilises video.
Apple’s thinnest and lightest iPhone yet at just 5.6mm.
Built from titanium with Ceramic Shield front and back, it has a 6.5-inch Super Retina XDR display with 120Hz refresh and 3,000-nit peak brightness.

The A19 Pro, N1 and C1X chips power pro-level performance and longer battery life. A 48MP Fusion rear camera and 18MP Center Stage front camera deliver upgraded photo and video.
Apple’s top-end models feature a new aluminium unibody design with a built-in vapor chamber for cooling. Both use the A19 Pro chip for sustained high performance and the longest battery life yet in an iPhone.
Three 48MP rear cameras — Main, Ultra Wide and a new Telephoto — offer the equivalent of eight lenses, with up to 8x optical zoom. The Center Stage front camera supports stabilised 4K HDR video and simultaneous front-and-rear recording.
