About this machine
The notch housed the projector and infrared camera that made face recognition work, and set the shape of every iPhone for years afterward. It was also the first iPhone to reach a thousand dollars.

Figures for the whole machine
provisional A figure marked provisional is recorded but not accepted: its evidence is unsettled. It may rely on one source, an unconfirmed announcement, or a digit read from a damaged scan. The reason appears under the figure. The catalog shows the figure but never uses it in a multiplier. How records are judged.
| Metric | Value | Evidence | Basis | Method | Source |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Clock frequency cpu provisional | 2.39 GHz | Rumored | Vendor-rated | Nominal clock From community documentation Apple names the chip and states no frequency. Wikipedia gives 2.39 GHz for the two performance cores; the four efficiency cores of the same processor run slower, so this is the fast half of an asymmetric design rather than one clock for the phone. It is carried as rumored. | |
| Storage capacity storage | 256 GB | Confirmed | Vendor-rated | Design capacity Stated by the vendor One of the flash capacities Apple lists for this phone. Storage, not memory. Apple states flash capacity decimally, the way makers of flash and disk do, and this catalog reads it that way. | |
| Storage capacity storage | 64 GB | Confirmed | Vendor-rated | Design capacity Stated by the vendor One of the flash capacities Apple lists for this phone. Storage, not memory. Apple states flash capacity decimally, the way makers of flash and disk do, and this catalog reads it that way. | |
| Memory capacity whole-system provisional | 3 GiB | Reported | Measured | Design capacity Stated by the vendor iFixit reports 3 GiB in the A11 package. Apple lists flash storage rather than working memory. |

Editorial notes
Flash capacity and charger ratings are recorded as the quantities they are, and never stand in for working memory or whole-system power.
