- Most leaks point to an A19 platform, while Jon Prosser says Apple may use a lower‑binned A19 paired with 8GB of RAM.
- A single 48‑megapixel rear camera is rumored, and the front design remains uncertain as reports split between keeping the notch or adopting Dynamic Island.
- MagSafe is tipped to return with up to 25W wireless charging, alongside connectivity upgrades like Apple’s in‑house C1X modem plus potential Wi‑Fi 7 and Bluetooth 6.
- Pricing is widely pegged around $599 with some chatter of a 256GB base, drawing comparisons to Google’s $499 Pixel 10a reportedly offering a 120Hz display and dual rear cameras.
