Apple unveiled the iPhone 18 Pro, its latest compact flagship, alongside the iPhone Duo folding phone in a launch that targets both consumers and enterprise users The Guardian. Priced from £1,199, the device adds a 12 GB RAM configuration, a 6.3-inch 120 Hz OLED display and a suite of connectivity options including 5G, Wi-Fi 7 and USB-C.
The A20 Pro processor is claimed to be about 27 % faster than the A19 Pro, with graphics performance roughly 45 % quicker, and a redesigned cooling system that sustains peak performance for intensive tasks. Battery endurance improves by six hours, delivering about two days of typical use and still showing 40 % charge after a full day of heavy activity. A variable-aperture main camera and AI-enhanced Siri, built on Google’s technology, promise better low-light imaging and contextual assistance, though Siri’s deeper integrations work only with Apple’s own apps.
Our read: The upgrades are incremental rather than transformative, but the extended battery and on-device AI could reduce device turnover and streamline routine workflows for field staff, provided enterprises stay within the Apple ecosystem.
