Release year20232022
Display6.1-inch Super Retina XDR OLED; 2556 × 1179 at 460 ppi; Dynamic Island

Dynamic Island turns the front camera cut-out into an area for alerts and live activities. Apple does not list ProMotion for this model, so the screen is not 120 Hz.

Apple		6.1-inch Super Retina XDR OLED; 2532 × 1170 pixels, 460 ppi; HDR, True Tone, wide colour (P3)

Typical maximum brightness is 800 nits, with a 1200-nit peak in HDR content; typical contrast is 2,000,000:1. Because the corners are rounded, the visible area is slightly smaller than a 6.06-inch rectangle.

Apple
Brightness and contrast1000 nits typical; 1600 nits HDR peak; 2000 nits outdoor peak; 2,000,000:1 contrast

The outdoor peak is used briefly in strong sunlight; the HDR peak applies to HDR video and photos.

BatteryUp to 20 hours of video playback, 16 hours streamed, 80 hours of audio Apple—
USB-C and chargingUSB-C, USB 2 (up to 480 Mb/s), DisplayPort; about 50% in 30 minutes with a 20 W or higher adapter; MagSafe and Qi2 up to 15 W, Qi up to 7.5 W

Although the connector is USB-C, data runs at USB 2 speed, so moving large video files by cable takes longer than over the USB 3 port on the Pro models.

Apple		—
SIMDual eSIM (two active eSIMs at once)

Apple’s page also shows a SIM tray on models sold outside the US, so physical SIM support depends on the country of purchase.

Apple		UK/Europe: nano-SIM + eSIM or dual eSIM; US: dual eSIM only (no physical SIM support)

Using eSIM requires carrier support. The US model is not compatible with physical SIM cards.

Apple
Durability and materialsIP68 (up to 6 m for up to 30 minutes, IEC 60529); aluminium frame, Ceramic Shield front, colour-infused glass back

IP68 protection can decrease with normal wear, and liquid damage is not covered by Apple’s warranty.
