IPhone

iPhone is the phone series that Apple, inc. sells. Since 2007, the iPhone has been regularly updated each year with constant innovation and hard work put into it. 13 generations of iPhone later, and Apple continues to innovate, despite controversy by the internet, and always brings something new.

The iPhone was announced in the summer of 2007 by Steve Jobs. At this time, the best-selling phones have had very small screens with plastic keyboards attached with them. So Steve decided to change that by releasing a device that had a huge screen where you could interact it with it through your finger. This also introduced a software-built keyboard and just one button to work with. This button would later be used as a fingerprint sensor, a way to activate Siri, multitask, activate accessibility, reachability, and more. The original iPhone was also known for being more than just a device to make calls and texts. It worked as an iPod and internet communicator.

This device shifted the phone market for years to come, as all flagship phones now come with little to no buttons, and a huge touchscreen. The iPhone itself grew with the phone market to eventually become a "all-screen" display with no buttons other than the volume rockers, mute switch, and power indicator.

Currently, Apple sells two flagships a year with a refreshed baseline model. With three times the cameras and large displays, the iPhone has came a long way.

iPhone 2G
The original iPhone. This product was announced and launched in 2007, and is commonly known for changing the phone market into the Digital Age. This introduced many things a phone hasn't seen up until this device's release. Such as a huge display, very few buttons, being a phone, iPod, and internet communicator mixed into one, and many more.

iPhone 3G
From the previous years' success, Steve Jobs decided to introduce another iPhone model known as the iPhone [3G]. This introduced a 3G modem to the iPhone, and re-worked internals.

iPhone 3GS
In 2009, Steve Jobs introduced the iPhone [3G]S, with reworked internals to function better than the previous generation.

iPhone 4
This device is known for its massive design refresh. This featured a "box" look to it, and its sleek design. The overall device has been reworked, and is complimented as one of the best-looking iPhones out there. This also introduced the FaceTime HD camera where you can now take photos from the front of the device, and use FaceTime.

iPhone 4S
From the previous generation's massive design refresh, Steve Jobs decided to re-work the internals to function better than the previous, while still maintaining it's beautiful design.

iPhone 5
This is known as the last device Steve Jobs worked on before his passing. This phone kept the box design, reworked some internals, and brought some minor design changes. This also had a larger display, and is the first iPhone to upgrade the display size, while maintaining reachability. This was the first device worked on under Tim Cook's administration.

iPhone 5S
In 2013, Apple once more reworked the internals on this device while maintaining the iPhone 5's unique design.

iPhone 5C
This is the first "budget" iPhone released by Apple. However, this device is also considered one of Apple's failures as it did not sell well despite of it's cheap cost. This year was also the first year where Apple sold more than one iPhone in one year.

iPhone 6
The iPhone 6 had another massive design refresh. Now the box-design was gone for good. There was lots of controversy around this iPhone. This introduced a problem known as bend-gate, where the iPhone was too thin, and was prone to bending. This also brought controversy around the camera bump, which this is the first iPhone to have the camera stick out of the phone.

iPhone 6 Plus
This is the first "plus" iPhone that Apple has created. This was the same exact phone as the 6 Plus, but the display was bigger.

iPhone 6S
This model took the iPhone 6 and re-worked the internals to improve its functionability.

iPhone 6S Plus
This model took the iPhone 6 Plus and re-worked the internals to improve its functionability.

iPhone SE (1st Gen)
iPhone SE (1st Generation) is a true budget-device for people who do not care about the new things. This would be the only iPhone to recycle old iPhone models and be launched in the Spring.

iPhone 7
This iPhone brought a minor design change. The antenna bands covering the phone were gone, and the camera bump was moved to be more over to the left of the device, and becoming a bit bigger. These displays were a little bigger, but not significantly.

iPhone 7 Plus
This brought a bigger display to the already-large iPhone 7. This also introduced a second camera for the iPhone, which would start the trend in smartphones of having more than one camera.

iPhone 8
This was a very minor upgrade from the iPhone 7. This introduced wireless charging and a glass finish on the back, as well as 4K/60 recording.

iPhone 8 Plus
This was a very minor upgrade from the iPhone 7 Plus. This introduced the concept of wireless charging and a new finish on the back.

iPhone X
This is the most massive design refresh of all iPhone history. This model removed the home button in favor of software-built gestures. This was also considered an all-display device, where it introduced the notch. The cameras throughout the phone have been re-worked. This removed Touch ID in favor of the simpler Face ID, which would remove the Facetime HD camera for the TrueDepth camera. The overall function of the iPhone was changed from this massive design refresh.

iPhone Xs
This iPhone upgraded the internals inside the iPhone X.

iPhone Xs Max
This model removed the "Plus" naming and replaced it with "Max". This device is known for having the largest display on an iPhone ever.

iPhone 11
This phone became the successor of the iPhone XR, where it introduced a wide-angle lens and a brand new design on the back.

iPhone 11 Pro
This is the first iPhone to come with three cameras, and revamped the back design.
