3.5/5Oct 17, 2025
Impressive slim design, display and performance, but compromised camera zoom, speakers, charging and value make it hard to recommend over the iPhone 17.
Remarkably thin and durable with strong A19 Pro performance, but the single camera and pricey $999 start involve real trade-offs; battery trails the 17 Pro Max.
Stunningly thin, light design
Durable titanium build with strong bend resistance
Apple's thinnest iPhone is a stunning design statement with a solid but not class-leading battery and a single rear camera; best for those prioritizing design and portability.
Extremely thin and light design at 5.64mm and 165g
Excellent 6.5-inch ProMotion display with high brightness
A19 Pro chip is fast and smooth
Premium titanium and Ceramic Shield build feels durable
Battery life good but not class-leading
Single 48MP rear camera lacks telephoto and ultrawide flexibility
Phone gets warm during fast charging or heavy gaming
