Apple doesn't publish an end date, but iPhones have a consistent ~3-year update track record — on that basis the P1 Pro should be supported until around April 2027. Buying it today still gets you about 0.9 years of safe use (Apple's written legal minimum is 5 years).

Frequently asked questions

What chipset does the Realme P1 Pro use?

It runs the Qualcomm Snapdragon 6 Gen 1, not the Dimensity 7050 found in the standard Realme P1.

Does the P1 Pro have water resistance?

Yes. It carries an IP65 rating for dust and splash protection, which is rare at its budget price.

Does the P1 Pro support NFC?

No. The P1 Pro 5G lacks NFC, so it does not support contactless tap-to-pay.
