iPhone 18 Pro and the foldable iPhone Duo launch with the A20 Pro Three new iPhones on one chip, with a dual 16-core Neural Engine and a CPU that has no performance cores at all — and a Pro Max that differs from the Pro on silicon for the first time. Apple Watch Series 12 and Ultra 4 get the S11 The same dual-core CPU and 4-core Neural Engine as the S10, with on-device Audio Intelligence on top — and no W-series chip on either spec sheet. AirPods 5 arrives with the H2 A fourth year of AirPods on the same chip — the claimed 1.5x noise cancellation comes from a new driver and amplifier, not new silicon.
