Apple covered a lot of ground at today’s Surprise and Shine event, and the numbers help put the announcements in perspective.After every Apple event, we like to collect the notable specs, comparisons, and other stats from the presentation and Apple’s supporting materials (Tech Specs pages and Newsroom posts). This year, I wanted to make this article a little more special than usual, so I did two things: I set up a workflow to collect even more data during the event (a combination of transcription and, later, YouTube summarization), and I’ve created a few interactive widgets explore some of the latest specs and numbers in more detail.You can find the complete set of numbers below. Enjoy memorizing all of these.iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone 18 Pro MaxDimensions and Displays150 x 71.9 x 8.75 mm: Height, width, and depth of iPhone 18 Pro, respectively.211g: Weight of iPhone 18 Pro.163.4 x 78 x 8.75 mm: Height, width, and depth of iPhone 18 Pro Max, respectively.249g: Weight of iPhone 18 Pro Max.Camera48MP: Fusion Main camera resolution, with a 24mm-equivalent lens and variable aperture.6 blades: The Main camera uses laser-cut blades to adjust its aperture.4 settings: Manual Main-camera apertures: f/1.48, f/1.8, f/2.8, and f/4.0. Apple’s examples use f/1.48 for low light, f/1.8 for portraits, and f/4.0 for groups.Around 50% more light: Enters when the variable aperture opens in darker environments. 23:4812MP at 2x: Optical-quality Telephoto option from the Main camera, at a 48mm-equivalent focal length.48MP at 4x: Fusion Telephoto camera with a 100mm-equivalent f/2.8 lens.12MP at 8x: Optical-quality Telephoto option with a 200mm-equivalent f/2.8 lens.16x: Optical-quality zoom range: 8x optical-quality zoom in and 2x optical zoom out.Up to 40x / 24x: Digital zoom for photos and video, respectively.18MP: Center Stage front camera with an f/1.9 aperture.Up to 4K at 120 / 60 fps: ProRes recording from the rear and front cameras, respectively, with external recording.1080p at 30 fps: Spatial video recording.4 microphones: Studio-quality microphones for recording.A20 Pro and Performance3x more surface area: Vapor chamber comparison with iPhone 17 Pro.Up to 40% gain: Sustained performance with the redesigned thermal system, compared with the previous generation.Up to 2x better: Sustained performance compared with iPhone 16 Pro and older. 20:12Up to 120 fps: Monster Hunter Outlanders supports iOS-exclusive Cinematic Graphics using the A20 Pro GPU; the game is due later in 2026.
