The document itself is used, without claiming the latest registry version. The separate typed API response identifies version 1 and lastVersion false. No current maker fiche link was found and no conflicting newer numerical declaration was found. Section 18 separately requires a 15 W charger. That is distinct from the maker device maximum of 18 W and the regional QSG 10 to 18 W USB-PD label. No protocol or wattage reconciliation is inferred.

Battery endurance per cycle (EU test)iEU regulated endurance test duration for one full charge. It is not the maker's claimed video-playback runtime. Wi-Fi and cellular models have their own EU entries, so it is per variant.

Battery endurance in cycles (EU test)iEU declared charge cycles before the specified capacity threshold, typically 80 percent. The source states the exact regulatory model. EPREL prints this value in hundreds, so 10 there is stored as 1000.

Warranty

1 of 1 differ

Manufacturer warranty (source market)iThe maker's warranty period for the exact SKU or configuration and market named in the source note. It applies only to that stated market, not every regional variant. Statutory consumer rights are excluded. The base term is stored. An extension that needs registration goes in the source note.

1year10Maker product pageapple.com/legal/warranty/products/ios-warranty-document-us.htmlRead 5 October 2026US manufacturer warranty is one year from original retail purchase. Statutory rights are additional. Original maker EU sheets also state 12 months. Some older retailer copies of the EPREL sheet instead list 24 months, so those are not used to establish the manufacturer warranty.
