The useful part.

Key strengths

Apple rates video playback at up to 27 hours, or 24 hours when streamed; actual battery life varies with use.

The UK configuration supports a physical nano-SIM as well as eSIM, including dual eSIM operation.

The main camera has optical stabilisation, and the 12 MP front camera supports autofocus and 4K recording up to 60 fps.

The checks that matter.

Before you buy

A power adapter and EarPods are not included in the box.

USB data transfer is limited to USB 2, rated up to 480 Mb/s; USB-C alone does not provide USB 3 speeds.

At 77.8 mm wide and 199 g, it is a sizeable phone to hold and carry.
