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.

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

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.

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