Dates and versions
Announced 2013-09-10; first retail availability 2013-09-20. The date field uses that first retail day, not the announcement.
Launch colours were white, pink, yellow, blue and green, with 16/32 GB storage. The table retains those launch capacities. The LTE example is A1507; consult Apple’s per-model list for other regions. It went on sale alongside 5s, with different hardware and no A7 or Touch ID.
RAM and labelled battery capacities use the linked physical inspections; Apple does not specify those values in these public sheets. Manufacturer battery-life figures are laboratory maximums, not measurements of an aged handset.
