- Analyst notes and reports point to an A20 Pro processor, Apple’s in‑house C2 modem and 12GB of RAM on the Pro models, with performance and efficiency gains widely expected.
- Camera testing reportedly includes a variable‑aperture main lens for improved low‑light and portrait results, potentially limited to the Pro Max.
