What is the maximum usage altitude for an iPhone to proper use? What is the minimum air pressure on which iPhone can work correctly and is not dangerous for it (guarantee)
iPhone 11 Pro, iOS 18
Apple recommends use below 10,000 ft. Airplane cabins are pressurized to the equivalent of 10,000.
The specs below are for recent iPhones as far back as iPhone X. I didn’t research it any further.

What is the elevation height that you want to work at?
iPhones can connect to Airlines WiFi and work at over 35,000 feet during flight
What model iPhone do you have and I’ll pull it up, or just google iPhone (your model) tech specs and you’ll find the link to Apple’s site.
Here’s my iPhone 16 Pro Max specs, and exactly the same as I quoted above.

The manual lists the operating elevation. I’m confused where you’re 10,000 meters (~32,000 ft.)?
If you need something to operate within your stated altitude, buy a Rolex.
Jeff’s quoted specs are from the Apple link below. This is for the iPhone SE, but will be similar for other models.

This is not the point of my question What am i doing at that altitude ;) i just want to know what altitude is safe for iPhone in terms of warranty.
Jeff you already confirmed it that iphones are tested to max 10000ft. I couldnt find that information.
Yes, to the best of my knowledge all iPhone models have had these specs for at least the last decade.
Ive looked a multiple electronic devices in regard to specs for temperature, humidity, elevation etc. They all have one thing in common, lithium batteries. I think that’s the underlying limitation.
This is what i was looking for - operating altitude.
Many times a year i work between 7,000 to 10,000 metres(MSL). And my question is What the manual and WARRANTY says about that.
I have never had any issues using an iPhone up to elevations of about 14, 500 feet or about 4,400 meters. Whether or not that was "safe", I cannot say.
I found it right before you wrote. Thanks a lot.
All new models have the same environmental requirements as i see.
maybe it would be good opportunity to test it for Apple 🤔
Ive already tested my 11 pro for at least 15 times for now and it is still in good condition.
i dont think if it has bad effect but who knows
