The 1st iphone
The first iPhone was created by over 200 people, but the introducer and director was Steve Jobs. On January 9, 2007, Steve Jobs announced the new iPhone at the Macworld convention. On June 29, 2007, Apple began selling the new iPhone. -
The iphone 3G
This was the next model, created in 2008. The iPhone 3G came with a new, lower price thanks to its new plastic rear, but also gained 3G connectivity, GPS, third-party apps, and a white model to choose from. A rounded rear completed the look, and button placements stayed the same. -
iphone 3GS
The next year in 2009 the iphone 3GS was created, this model of the iPhone had video recording capabilities for the first time, and the camera itself got an upgrade too. The "S" ostensibly stood for speed and reflected the improvements in the internal components, and Voice Control that was not yet called siri. -
Iphone 4
This iphone was created in 2010 and it was a big step forward, it had a new, sleeker, more modern look, and massively increased the pixel count while keeping the same size. It was the first iPhone with a front-facing camera, the first iPhone with some level of multitasking, and one of the most significant iPhones Apple had ever made. -
Iphone 4S
Not much changed from the iphone 4 but in 2011, the camera did get an upgrade up to 8 megapixels and perhaps the biggest improvement on the software side was the arrival of Siri, the digital assistant that now plays such a big role on the iPhone. -
Iphone 5
The iPhone 5 was a major upgrade. It added an extra row of icons with an extra-tall screen, introduced the Lightning connector and had a lighter, aluminium casing. It really did usher in the modern iPhone era. On the iOS side, we got our first look at a rather buggy Apple Maps, taking over from Google Maps as the default option. -
iphone 5C
The iPhone 5C was very much a remade iPhone 5 with a few cosmetic changes, giving iPhone buyers an option that was cheaper but still brand new for the first time. iOS 7 was launched at the same time, bringing true multitasking for apps and introducing the Control Centre for more easy access to the iPhone's settings. -
iphone 5S
The iPhone 5S was the big model for 2013, with a new design and a feature called Touch ID introduced to the iPhone line-up for the first time. Another first was the 64-bit A7 processor inside the phone, an architecture change that other manufacturers have since followed. iOS 7 had a visual overhaul as well, introducing the bright icons and translucent menus that are still in place today.
