iPhone 18 is the upgrade everyone waited for. Apple has finally brought 120Hz ProMotion technology to the non-Pro models, making scrolling buttery smooth for everyone. It runs on the powerful A19 Bionic chip and features the Action Button, replacing the mute switch. The 48MP camera offers a 'lossless' 2x zoom by cropping the sensor, effectively giving you three focal lengths.
