Device Overview
Celebrating 20 years since the original iPhone, this Anniversary Edition is completely portless, features an invisible camera array, and is housed in a revolutionary Liquid Metal chassis.
Common Questions
Why is there no charging port?
Apple has fully embraced a wireless future. Removing the port makes the device perfectly sealed against water and dust, and allows for a completely uninterrupted, sleek metallic frame around the entire device.
How do I charge it or transfer data?
You use the new MagSafe 3.0, which snaps to the back to provide incredibly fast 50W wireless charging and utilizes high-frequency mmWave technology to transfer data to your Mac faster than a physical USB-C cable.
What is Liquid Metal?
The chassis is made of an amorphous metal alloy (Liquidmetal) that is twice as strong as titanium, highly resistant to scratches, and gives the phone an incredibly unique, seamless, mirror-like finish.
Is the screen OLED?
No, it upgrades to a Micro-LED display. This provides the infinite contrast of OLED but with significantly higher peak brightness, no risk of screen burn-in, and better power efficiency.
Where are the cameras?
Apple uses a new 'Electrochromic Glass' over the camera module. When the camera is off, the glass turns opaque and matches the body color, hiding the lenses completely. When you open the camera app, the glass instantly turns clear.
Does it still have Face ID?
Yes, but the entire TrueDepth camera system and the front selfie camera are now completely hidden beneath the Micro-LED display, giving you a 100% uninterrupted screen with no notch or Dynamic Island.
How powerful is the A22 Bionic chip?
It is built on a 1.5nm process, making it essentially as powerful as a desktop Mac Studio. It can run massive AAA games and process complex generative AI tasks instantly on-device.
What is the 'Vintage Mac Grey' color?
It is a special edition colorway that exactly matches the beige/grey tone of the original 1984 Macintosh computer, complete with a retro rainbow Apple logo on the back to celebrate Apple's history.
Is the refresh rate improved?
Yes, ProMotion has been upgraded to 144Hz, making iOS 22 feel impossibly smooth, and it can drop all the way down to 1Hz to display a constant always-on clock without draining the battery.
Does it support physical SIM cards?
No, this device is completely eSIM only globally. It can store up to 10 eSIM profiles simultaneously, making international travel and switching carriers seamless.
