Two stunning cameras
Dual-camera system features wide and ultra-wide cameras (both shoot 12MP, and up to 4K video at up to 60fps), giving you a level of detail and colour that wasn’t possible before
Record 4K HDR video with Dolby Vision, edit in Photos or iMovie, then zap it to your TV using AirPlay to see all that colour and detail for a start-to-finish cinematic experience
Both cameras have Night mode, which senses when light is low and kicks in automatically, maintaining clarity while capturing beautifully vibrant colour
They also feature Deep Fusion, which in mid to low light analyses multiple exposures to maximise detail
Smart HDR 3 with Scene Detection balances all the elements in a shot for rich detail and colour,
Scene Detection uses machine-learning to recognise scenes, then adjusts sharpness, colour and white balance where needed
Take great photos even further by choosing from 6 creative lighting effects: Natural, Studio, Contour, Stage, Stage Mono, and High‑Key Mono
