Apple

Apple designs the iPhone as a closed hardware-and-software system: it makes the chip, the operating system, and the phone, and it does not license iOS to anyone else. That single fact explains most of what looks strange about iPhone spec sheets. RAM figures are lower than Android flagships at the same price because iOS manages memory differently. There is no memory card slot on any iPhone ever made. Benchmarks and megapixel counts translate poorly across the iOS/Android line, which is why people end up comparing iPhones on camera processing, software support years, and resale value instead of raw numbers.

The current line-up splits four ways. The base iPhone is the volume model. The Plus is the same phone with a larger screen and battery. The Pro adds the better chipset, the telephoto camera, the LTPO display that can drop to a low refresh rate, and a stainless or titanium frame. The Pro Max is the Pro with more screen and more battery. Apple also keeps an SE-class model in rotation that reuses an older body with a current chip. When a spec sheet on this site says 'Pro Max', it is the largest phone in that year's range, not a separate line.

Software support is the specification Apple competes on hardest and the one that never appears in a hardware table. Apple has historically shipped major iOS updates to phones five or more years old. We do not print a guaranteed number on our pages because Apple does not publish one as a commitment, and a promise we invent is worse than a blank field.

Regional differences are smaller for iPhone than for most brands, but they exist. US models have been eSIM-only since the iPhone 14, while models sold elsewhere keep a physical SIM tray. Model numbers (A2849, A3106 and so on) identify which cellular variant you have. If you are importing, that number matters more than the marketing name.

AllMobileSpecs lists iPhone models using the same spec groups we use for Android phones, so you can line up storage, display size, battery, and charging without switching mental models. We are not affiliated with Apple, we are not an Apple reseller, and we do not have access to unreleased products. Prices shown are typical launch-era USD figures for orientation, not an offer to sell a device. Check Apple or a licensed retailer for current availability and pricing in your country.
