Release year20242022
Display6.9-inch Super Retina XDR OLED; 2868 × 1320, 460 ppi; ProMotion up to 120 Hz; Always-On

ProMotion varies the refresh rate with content: 120 Hz for smooth scrolling, lower rates on static screens to save battery. Because of the rounded corners, the screen measures 6.86 inches as a rectangle.

Apple		6.7-inch Super Retina XDR OLED; 2778 × 1284 pixels, 458 ppi; HDR, True Tone, wide colour (P3)

Typical maximum brightness is 800 nits, with 1,200 nits peak for HDR content; typical contrast is 2,000,000:1. Because of the rounded corners the screen measures 6.68 inches as a rectangle and the viewable area is slightly smaller. Apple does not list a refresh rate; 120 Hz ProMotion is only on the Pro models.

Brightness1000 nits typical, 1600 nits peak HDR, 2000 nits peak outdoor, 1 nit minimum; 2,000,000:1 contrast

The outdoor peak is used briefly in strong sunlight; the 1-nit minimum is meant to reduce eye strain in a dark room.
