What the reviewers said

Trusted Reviews UK

4/5Oct 30, 2024

A good upgrade for owners of older iPhones thanks to the Action Button, Camera Control and A18 performance, though the 60Hz screen and lack of telephoto hold it back.

  • Action Button and Camera Control add useful new functionality
  • Two-generation processor jump handles demanding games
  • Compact and light at 170g
  • Bright, vivid OLED display
  • Strong main camera with detailed, true-to-life shots
  • Camera Control is fiddly and needs excessive pressure
  • Camera Control poorly placed for natural grip
  • Screen still limited to 60Hz refresh rate
  • No telephoto lens
  • Apple Intelligence not yet fully useful

Verdicts, pros and cons are short summaries in our words of each publisher's review; scores are as the publisher gave them. Specs are taken from the reviews' spec boxes — where they differ, we show the value most of them give; price is the US launch price of the base model. Read the originals for the full picture.
