Product lines

How the 43 Apple families here actually differ

These are not marketing tiers. Each group below behaves differently under diagnosis, which is why a procedure written for one does not transfer to another, and it is the first thing to settle before following any fix.

Apple iPhone family; connector, modem, camera, biometric and iOS eligibility vary by exact model.

Apple iPad family; connector, cellular option, camera, biometric and iPadOS eligibility vary by exact model.

Current Apple iPhone family; camera controls, modem, connector and iOS features vary by exact hardware/region identifier.
