Notes: Battery 4,005 mAh from secondary sources (press coverage, sir-apfelot.de 15.556 Wh); not on Apple's India page. Apple publishes no wired charging wattage (50% in 30 min with 20W+ adapter), so wiredW null. MagSafe/Qi2 up to 15W. Refresh rate 60Hz (no ProMotion) not explicitly re-confirmed this session. Peak nits = 1200 HDR peak (800 typical). Uses an A19 variant with a 4-core GPU (iPhone 17's A19 has 5 GPU cores). Weight: 170 g on Apple India page, 169 g on US page. RAM not published by Apple; 8GB entered because the schema requires a value. Prices rose in September 2026 after the iPhone 18 Pro launch.
