Release year20232023
Display6.7-inch Super Retina XDR OLED; 2796 × 1290, 460 ppi; Dynamic Island, True Tone, Wide colour (P3)

Dynamic Island uses the front camera cut-out as an area for notifications and Live Activities. Apple does not list ProMotion for this model; the display is not 120 Hz. Because the corners are rounded, the actual viewable area is slightly smaller than the 6.69-inch rectangle.

Apple
6.1-inch Super Retina XDR OLED; 2556 × 1179 pixels, 460 ppi; Dynamic Island

On OLED each pixel emits its own light, so blacks turn fully off; typical contrast is listed as 2,000,000:1.

Apple
Brightness and contrast1,000 nits typical; 1,600 nits peak (HDR); 2,000 nits peak (outdoor); 2,000,000:1 contrast

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

Video4K at 24/25/30/60 fps; HDR video with Dolby Vision up to 4K at 60 fps; Cinematic mode up to 4K HDR at 30 fps; Action mode up to 2.8K at 60 fps

Action mode crops the image to apply strong digital stabilisation when running or in a vehicle, which is why it tops out at 2.8K.

Apple
4K at 24/25/30/60 fps; Dolby Vision HDR up to 4K 60 fps; ProRes 4K 60 fps (with external recording); Log video; spatial video at 1080p 30 fps

ProRes 4K at 60 fps requires recording to external storage over USB-C. Log records a flat profile for colour grading.

ColoursBlack, Blue, Green, Yellow, Pink Apple—
Refresh rate—ProMotion adaptive up to 120 Hz; Always-On display

The panel rises to 120 Hz when scrolling and gaming and drops its rate for static content to save power, which lets the lock screen stay on.

Apple
Brightness—1000 nits typical, 1600 nits HDR peak, 2000 nits outdoor peak

The outdoor figure is used only briefly in strong sunlight; normal use sits around 1000 nits.

Apple
Main camera—48 MP, 24 mm, ƒ/1.78; second-generation sensor-shift OIS; 24 MP and 48 MP photos

Sensor-shift stabilisation moves the sensor rather than the lens to counter hand shake; the default capture is 24 MP.

Apple
Telephoto and ultra wide—12 MP 3× telephoto (77 mm, ƒ/2.8, OIS); 12 MP ultra wide (13 mm, ƒ/2.2, 120°); 2× (48 mm) option from the main sensor

The 2× image is taken from the centre of the 48 MP sensor; the 15× digital zoom is not optical.

Apple
USB-C—USB 3 up to 10 Gb/s; DisplayPort video out up to 4K HDR (with a compatible adapter)

10 Gb/s needs a USB 3 cable; the 1 m cable in the box is a charge cable and does not guarantee that speed.

Apple
Battery and charging—Up to 23 hours video playback, 20 hours streamed; about 50% in 30 minutes with a 20 W adapter; MagSafe and Qi2 15 W, Qi 7.5 W

No adapter is included. Qi2 is a wireless charging standard with magnetic alignment like MagSafe.

Apple
Connectivity—5G (sub-6 GHz and mmWave), Wi-Fi 6E, Bluetooth 5.3, second-generation Ultra Wideband, Thread, NFC

mmWave support varies by region. Thread is for low-power networking with smart home devices.

Apple
Location—Dual-frequency GPS (GPS, GLONASS, Galileo, QZSS, BeiDou, NavIC); digital compass

Receiving satellite signals on two frequencies helps reduce position drift between tall buildings.

Apple
Action button—Assignable to Silent mode, Focus, Camera, Flashlight, Voice Memo, Translate, Magnifier, Shortcut or Accessibility

It replaces the old mute switch; pressing and holding runs the chosen function.
