MagSafe and Qi2 wireless charging are both listed at up to 20 W with compatible accessories.
The display uses ProMotion with adaptive refresh up to 120 Hz and a published 3,000-nit outdoor peak.
The A19 Pro chip (6-core CPU, 5-core GPU) and an 18 MP Center Stage front camera that records 4K at up to 60 fps.
Before you buy

USB data is limited to USB 2 (up to 480 Mb/s), and Apple does not publish the RAM capacity.
This configuration requires an eSIM-capable carrier; it does not take a physical SIM.
No charger in the box: Apple lists only the iPhone and a USB-C charge cable.
Every specification. With its source.
