Every year ]Apple[/anchor] pleases its fans and releases a new iPhone model, which is sure to have several interesting new products. Sales of Apple smartphones are growing every year. 10 years ago the first original iPhone entered the market. This is quite an era in terms of technology. Do you remember what the first iPhone looked like, what functions it had, and what capabilities were built into subsequent generations? The online magazine Elgreloo.com decided to tell you the whole story of the iPhone. After reading this article, you will learn about all the iPhone models that have been released from the very beginning.
Apple's first phone (2007)
The history of Apple smartphones began on January 9, 2007, when Steve Jobs first showed the world the iPhone, which turned the whole world upside down. Until 2007, phones were large, most of the body was occupied by a keyboard, and control was carried out using a joystick. Later, devices with a touch screen appeared, but it was impossible to control them without a stylus.
Compare all features
Steve Jobs knew that stylus controls were not very convenient; in the past, they often got lost. Therefore, he introduced the world's first smartphone with a Multi-touch screen that could be controlled using your fingers. It was this kind of management that encouraged users to buy. By the way, the letter “i” in the name of the device stood for inspiration. The screen had a diagonal of 3.5 inches, which was an excellent indicator at that time. This version of the smartphone had a 2 MP main camera, but there was no ability to shoot video, and there was also no front camera. For 2007, the first version of Apple's phone was a breakthrough.
History of iPhone development
Work on the creation of the iPhone began in the early 2000s. At first, the creators planned to make the iPod player the basis, but the Click Wheel control did not justify itself, because typing by scrolling the wheel turned out to be very inconvenient. Therefore the project was stopped.
They returned to it in 2005, creating exactly the gadget that we today call the iPhone. Steve Jobs' idea was that the body materials should be glass and aluminum, and control should be solely at the touch of the fingers.
In July 2016, the billionth iPhone was sold - a gadget called in the press a pocket computer, which this “Apple” device essentially is. For 11 years, Apple continues to surprise, presenting a new modification of its smartphones every year. The iPhone has no competitors yet; on the contrary, it remains the flagship in the mobile technology market.
Version 3Gs (2009)
The next smartphone in order is 3Gs. The letter "s" stood for speed. This version of the phone was equipped with a 3 MP camera and was able to shoot video. Since video takes up more space in a smartphone’s storage, a version with 32 GB of memory has appeared.
Other features:
- Shooting video.
- Improved data protection.
- Built-in GPS receiver.
- Now you can copy and paste text.
- iTunes appeared.
This smartphone was distinguished by its speed and performance, so it quickly attracted the attention of many users.
Presentation and release date of all iPhone models
Fans are accustomed to the fact that Apple conducts a new smartphone update cycle in September. At least that's how it has been for the last few years. The big presentation will take place in early September. There is a lot of hype around this event both “before” and after several days of the event.
However, after the show and before the actual appearance of the smartphone in the hands of buyers, time always passed. So the deadlines could have been shifted due to one reason or another.
iPhone 4 (2010)
Continuing to disassemble the iPhone models in order, we move on to June 2010, when the world saw the new Apple smartphone, which made another evolution. It was the iPhone 4, which changed a lot. By the way, it still works and people use it. In this version, Apple used an in-house processor for the first time. Previous models were equipped with processors from Samsung.
Peculiarities:
- Full glass body.
- Retina display.
- Camera: 5 MP.
- The first 0.3 MP front camera appeared.
- The OS began to be called iOS for the first time for this model.
- The smartphone uses Micro-sim.
Comparing the iPhone, we can say for sure that the 4 brought with it many innovations, which were only further improved. Also in 2010, Apple 4 took first place in sales among all phones of that time. This was the last smartphone that Steve Jobs introduced during his lifetime. In 2011, Tim Cook presented the company’s equipment.
The new head of Apple
Jobs headed Apple for a long time, after which a new manager, Tim Cook, took his place. This is a very experienced manager who has also spent many years in the company. Experts, after he took up his post, debated for a long time over how the newcomer would show himself in the place of Jobs’ real guru. Someone predicted the collapse of the company, linking its success solely with the figure of Steve. However, as time has shown and the presentations of several new models of iPhones, iPads, iPods and even iWatch watches, Cook is able to strengthen Apple’s position in the market.
iPhone 4s (2011)
On October 4, 2011, the 4s version was presented at the Apple presentation. When comparing this model with 3, here the “s” no longer denoted speed, but the presence of Siri. Calling all the models in order, it was with the 4s that the development of the voice assistant began.
Peculiarities:
- Voice control.
- Main camera: 8 MP.
- Processor A5.
- 64 GB memory appeared.
- The price for this smartphone started at $200.
- This iPhone could shoot video in FullHD format.
The day after the presentation of this device, Steve Jobs left this world, but left behind a lot of developments and a company that continues to delight the world with new gadgets. Starting with the 4s model, company presentations began to take place in the fall.
Creating a Startup: Building Computers in a Garage
At the origins of Apple there were 2 key figures - college friends who had a common interest in electronics. After studying, they began their careers in Silicon Valley companies: Steve Jobs at Atari, Steve Wozniak at Hewlett-Packard.
The 2 comrades made a successful tandem. Wozniak was passionate about creating a revolutionary computing device, while Jobs had a commercial streak. After selling a couple of dozen devices collected by Wozniak, the decision was made to found Apple Computer Inc. The official date of registration is April 1, 1976.
Steve Jobs and Steve Wozniak
History also mentions a third founder, Ronald Wayne, who previously worked with Jobs at Atari. He owned a 10% stake in the company. After a short period of time, he sells his part for only $800.
Ronald Wayne
It was Wayne who created the first Apple Computer Inc. logo. – a picture with Newton and a falling apple. For obvious reasons, it was not suitable for mass sales.
In 1977, Rob Yanoff (art director of Regis MacKenna) develops a new logo - a bitten apple, painted in 6 colors. Thus, he translated the term byte (unit of information and the verb “to bite”). Next was a translucent blue apple, then monochrome, aqua and chrome versions. The modern logo is a monochrome version, used since 2014.
There are many versions regarding the company name. The most plausible look is being ahead of a competitor: Apple was shown above its main rival Atari in the telephone directory.
iPhone 5 (2012)
Continuing to analyze the device versions in order, let's talk about the model, which everyone also pleasantly remembers. It was already different in design when compared with the 4th. We are talking about the iPhone 5, which appeared on September 11, 2012. This device has a 4″ diagonal display and an elongated body. Initially, users did not like this design; the gadget was even compared to a TV remote control, but despite this, this version gained popularity.
Options:
- Screen 4″.
- LTE support.
- New Lightning connector.
- 1 GB RAM.
- Processor A
- The emergence of Nano-sim.
- The body became aluminum.
- Colors: silver and black.
If you are choosing a cable for your smartphone, then look at the powerful cables from various manufacturers on the website.
Failed developments: Apple III and Apple Lisa
In 1980, the company entered the global market, and its staff grew to several thousand people. Along with this comes a series of failures.
In May 1980, the Apple III computer was presented, which went on sale in November of this year. Depending on the modification, its cost was $4500-7800. The price did not meet expectations: the developers did not solve the problem of case overheating.
The Apple III was modernized over the course of 3 years, but it was not possible to repeat the success of the previous model. Its production was suspended at the end of 1983.
For comparison, Apple III was released only 75 thousand copies, Apple II - 1.3 million.
A similar situation occurred with the Apple Lisa. As planned, the computer was created for office work. It was powerful, with 1 MB of RAM. The company for the first time began to commercially use hard drives, a new Twiggy floppy drive with a capacity of 871 KB and a mouse-type manipulator appeared. Along with this, the cost also rises - almost $10 thousand. Despite the fact that in 1984 the modernized Lisa model was released, 2 times cheaper than its predecessor, it faced a similar failure.
Being on the verge of bankruptcy, Apple learned a lesson from unsuccessful developments and took a different direction - producing inexpensive models.
iPhone 5s (2013)
Comparing the iPhones in order, let's move on to the 2013 presentation at which the iPhone 5s was presented. It was visually similar to version 5. This device included many improvements, the color of the side edges was “space gray”, and its main feature was the presence of Touch ID. This new unlocking method allowed us to keep user data safe.
Options:
- Front camera: 1.2 MP.
- Slow motion video.
- A5 processor with M7 coprocessor.
- Memory: 16 GB, 32 GB and 64 GB.
- Added gold body color.
The prefix "s" in this version denoted safety.
At the same presentation, in addition to the 5s model, the 5C version was presented in bright body colors. They did not gain much popularity, although they were durable and held a charge even longer if compared with the 5s.
Apple overtakes IBM in sales
In 1989, Apple's developments became in demand in a variety of industries: from research centers to large industrial enterprises. The same year, the Macintosh Portable, the company's first laptop, was released. It didn't turn out to be a super popular new product. At a cost of $6.5 thousand, its technical characteristics were standard.
The Macintosh PowerBook, which appeared in 1992, gained popularity. By the end of that year, it became the best-selling laptop in the world. This success was largely due to the low price - $2.5 thousand.
Between the release of laptops, the Mac 7.0 operating system was presented in 1991, which became a revolutionary development on the market. For example, the Photoshop project was launched on Apple. At the same time, the production of “stylish” Macintosh LC was put into mass production - relatively budget computers in a flat case, which became one of the company’s most popular projects.
iPhone 6 (2014)
Already in 2014, the world was switching to smartphones with larger display diagonals. Apple, following the trends, presented 2 iPhone models at its presentation on September 19, 2014: 6 and 6 Plus. With diagonals 4.7″ and 5.5″. Comparing these gadgets, it can be noted that in addition to the screen size, the Plus version had optical stabilization, which the iPhone 6 did not have. When comparing smartphone models, it is worth noting that the 6 versions did not differ from the 5s in terms of basic parameters. They were distinguished only by design and screen size. The iPhone 6 also had a configuration available with 128 GB of memory for $399. Users liked the large size of the screen, because it was convenient to watch videos on it, but the body of the device was not durable and people often bent it when accidentally sitting on the phone.
iPhone 3G (2008)

iPhone 3G was introduced exactly a year later. The smartphone finally received support for 3G and GPS networks, a slightly improved processor was installed, and the main innovation was the App Store, where the user could download any of the presented applications. During the year of its existence, the developers wrote and published more than 50 thousand programs, and after 10 years their number exceeded the 2 million mark

The operating system received support for the Russian language, so the iPhone 3G became the first smartphone from Apple on the official Russian market. Contrary to the precepts of Steve Jobs that the case should be made of noble materials, the iPhone 3G became the company's first mobile device whose back panel was made of plastic.
iPhone 7 and 7 Plus (2016)
Also in 2016, but already in September, Apple presented versions 7 and 7 Plus. This model is still relevant and many people use it. This device has improved moisture protection, the “Home” button has become a touchscreen, and every press of the button gives a feedback. This smartphone now has stereo sound.
Options:
- Front camera: 7 MP.
- Lack of AUX connector.
- Memory: 32 GB, 128 GB, 256 GB.
- The 7 Plus model, in addition to the larger display, has a second main camera.

An attempt to overcome the crisis: the Macintosh project
The Macintosh computer did not have brilliant technical characteristics: a monochrome display, only 128 KB of RAM, a 400 KB hard drive, a built-in disk drive, and a graphics manipulator - a mouse. However, it did not work out on a budget. Although the IBM personal computer cost an order of magnitude higher: $5 thousand versus $2.5 thousand for the Macintosh.
In the fall of 1985, Steve Jobs left the post of chairman of the board of directors. In 1987, a modernized version of the Macintosh II was released, in which for the first time the monitor and system unit were created separately, and color graphics appeared.
Apple smartphones 2022
Continuing to compare all iPhone models in order, we move on to the iPhone 8 and 8 Plus, which were presented on September 12, 2022. Compared to the 7th, the design of the gadgets was not particularly different. The devices received True Tone technology and support for wireless charging.
Options:
- Displays: 4.7″ and 5.5″.
- Memory: 64 GB and 256 GB.
- The larger model was also equipped with a second camera, but it took better pictures than the 7th model.

We could see something completely different from iOS
When Fadell heard about the development of the telephone, which was proceeding by leaps and bounds, he took a prototype of a similar device based on the iPod and went to Steve Jobs.
On paper, Tony's logic looked flawless. He took Apple's most successful project, the iPod, transferred its click-wheel interface to a touch screen, and built a phone into the whole thing. According to him, such an approach would preserve brand recognition - this is the main thing.
“In the end we came to two options - make an iPod analog out of the phone or reduce the Mac interface to the size of a relatively small screen,” recalls Richard Williamson
Scott Forstall was responsible for the latter direction. And to get something cool, Steve decided to pit him and Fadell against each other. He approved two teams and organized a real competition, the winner of which is now well known.
But back then the iPod concept seemed viable. The corresponding team even made about a hundred prototypes of phones based on a similar operating system.
But the iPhone with the iPod interface failed. In the end, everyone came to the conclusion that no one wants a phone with a rotating wheel, like a disk-type device. This worked great for players, but a modern smartphone requires a different approach.
Launch of Xs, Xs Max and XR (2018)
Comparing the iPhone in order, we move on to the 2018 presentation, at which 3 new versions were presented: Xs, Xs Max and XR. The Xs Max model has achieved great popularity. This device had a screen diagonal of 6.5″ and it was the first such large frameless display.
Features of Xs and Xs Max:
- Super Retina OLED display.
- 2 cameras.
- In terms of functionality and characteristics, the 2 versions are absolutely identical; they are distinguished only by the diagonal of the display.
- New case color “gold”.
- A version with 512 GB storage has appeared.

Gadget XR:
- Screen: 6.1″,

- bright body colors.
- One camera.
- A12 Bionic processor.

The iPhone XR was Apple's most popular flagship in 2018.
The iPhone project was called a pressure cooker with an impossible mission
Over ten years, the iPhone has turned society’s attitude upside down not only towards mobile phones, but towards all consumer electronics en masse.
But before the release of the first smartphone, strange things happened inside Apple in the mid-2000s - for example, people disappeared. More and more empty chairs appeared in the company's offices, where key specialists had once sat. And this was surprising.
Many such employees were invited to work on a secret project. At the same time, they were not told anything specific and were not even given time to think.
Some (for example, Andre Boulle, who then worked at Apple for only a couple of months) agreed almost without persuasion. But many refused the unknown direction, remaining in their positions.
The lives of the most determined in the coming years turned 180 degrees. Now, in an atmosphere of absolute secrecy, they worked day and night on something new, putting aside thoughts about family and other delights of their personal life.
“We have created a pressure cooker with an impossible mission” and “iPhone is the main reason for my divorce” - these are the theses that lead Apple engineer Andy Grignon describes the project
Nevertheless, in the end, the team to work on the first iPhone included Apple's most stellar talents: design veterans, leading programmers, managers and engineers - this once again confirms that the company has always gathered around itself not just cool, but passionate specialists.
iPhone 11, 11 Pro and 11 Pro Max (2019)
In 2022, the corporation is introducing flagships with an even larger processor - these are 11, 11 Pro and 11 Pro Max. They work faster and produce much better quality images due to the fact that they process the images immediately during shooting. You can find out more about the cameras of these flagships in the blog article.
Peculiarities:
- Processor: A13 Bionic.
- The emergence of an ultra-wide-angle camera.
- Night mode.
- The case dimensions correspond to previous versions of the flagships.
- Super Retina HDR screen.
- Dolby Atmos technology.
- Front camera: 12 MP.
Find out the price
For models 11 Pro and 11 Pro Max there are no differences in functionality, the only difference is in the display diagonal and battery capacity. When comparing new models, it is worth noting that model 11 lacks a 3rd camera with 2x zoom, but this can be compensated for digitally. The cost of version 11 is also lower due to the aluminum body; in premium models it is made of steel.

Steve Jobs returns: iMac project makes a breakthrough
Until 1998, the company's debts were mounting, but everything changed with Jobs' return to the post of chief executive.
In the spring of 1998, production of a line of new devices began, the first of which was the iMac G3 computer. Then Apple shares rise by 19%. The 15-inch monitor, stylish design, translucent plastic body and several color options have made the device extremely popular among users.
In 1999, the iBook appeared, the price of which for the standard package was $1,599. The thickness of the device did not exceed 3.4 cm, weight – 2.2 kg. In terms of design, it outperformed all its competitors.
In 2000, the Mac OS X operating system was introduced, and the new PowerBook G4 and iMac G4 were released. In the case of the second development, the design turned out to be more than successful.

Conclusion: reasons for success
Many people believe that Apple's offerings are worth much less than their money. Perhaps, but consumers are willing to overpay for the sensations they get when interacting with Apple devices. Why?
- Simplicity and functionality of modern devices. Any gadget is easy to understand, it is intuitive and easy to learn, and its usability is always carefully designed.
- The main thing is to release a product better than that of competitors. Most of the company's developments were not pioneers in the technological field, not counting the personal computer. Apple focuses on quality at the expense of innovation.
- Attention to details. It's hard to compete with the design of Apple devices. All gadgets combine simplicity and original appearance without copying their rivals.
- Win-win advertising strategies. The concept of benchmarking the company against other technology corporations was conceived by Steve Jobs. More than once Apple has entered into competitive wars with other major brands and emerged victorious.
- Lack of a wide range. The company does not give much choice to its consumer audience. There are not 50 phones in the iPhone line with different functionality. But each new product arouses intense interest and the desire of a regular customer to become its owner.

Features of the 10th generation Intel Core processor in the MacBook Pro 13″ 2020
iPhone 15 years old: We remember how the legendary gadget was created
Photo: chip.ru
On January 9, 2007, Apple CEO Steve Jobs first announced the company's first gadget, the iPhone. Today, the phone has already become a cult device, changing the mobile device market and becoming the favorite of many users around the world.
Photo: mobidevice.ru
Around 2005-2007, Apple's iPod was the same as Apple's iPhone, accounting for most of its revenue. In 2005, development of the iPhone began. So, in January 2007, Steve Jobs presented a new phone during the Macworld Expo conference. As the general director explains, the name is derived from the English phone (telephone) with the addition of the letter i, which abbreviated as Internet. In addition to this translation, this letter was special for the company itself, meaning: individual, instruct, inform, inspire - personal, teach, inform and inspire.
First iPhone development:
So, in 2005, development of a new iPhone begins. To begin with, Steve Jobs decides to negotiate with AT&T. In order to release your phone, you need to establish a relationship with the operator. Despite the fact that Apple did not even have simple prototypes at the time of negotiations, the operator agrees. Then this processor is delayed by another factor: hiring engineers, discussing new ideas. For the creators, the priority was for the phone to have a touch screen and have a minimum of buttons. The user had to interact with the phone using a finger.
Design:
At the very beginning of the journey, it was thought that the phone would have a plastic screen, but Jobs did not support this idea. He wanted to make glass screens to make the phone itself seem more elegant and solid. Jobs didn’t like the first prototypes of the gadget and had to be redone. Eventually, a smartphone appeared with a metal body and a metal frame that connected the screen and body.
iPhone OS
The phone first went on sale in 2007 and very quickly was able to conquer part of the smartphone market in the United States. In the iPhone OS version, the gadget was inferior to its existing competitors in many functions. However, users assured that it was quite pleasant to work with, but some familiar things were still simplified. The distinctive thing was that the operating system was completely closed, as Steve Jobs wanted to take control of the entire phone.
iPhone 3G
Almost exactly a year later, at the Apple Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC), the company introduced a new model - the iPhone 3G. It was already more advanced and devoid of hardware and other shortcomings. Unlike its predecessors, this model supported mobile communication standards, and the App Store was also presented. In the same year, the company manages to take second place in the ranking of the most useful modern technologies.

iPhone 3GS
Again, a year later, the presentation of the third phone model, the iPhone 3GS, took place. It was a more advanced version of the iPhone 3G. It had twice the RAM, increased operating speed, and also had 32 GB of internal memory.

iPhone 4
In June 2010, the company announced a new iPhone 4 with an even more updated system. On the same day, it was decided to change the iPhone OS to the current iOS. Now there are a number of advantages: a powerful central processor, an LCD display with an IPS matrix and a resolution of 640x960 pixels, a 5-megapixel camera, as well as a 0.3-megapixel camera for Face Time video calling.
