iPhone sizes in centimeters. Comparison of overall dimensions, screen sizes and diagonals of iPhones of different models

I collected the screen resolutions of all iPhones, iPads and iPods into one table. It will be useful for web designers, layout designers, front-enders and everyone who is in one way or another connected with mobile development, in particular for iOS.

Last week I told you which smartphones my readers use most often. I needed to “calculate” iPhone models based on screen resolutions, because Yandex Metrica does not detail these statistics. It’s strange, but I couldn’t quickly google up-to-date information on permits. There were only some scraps from different years. And then I remembered that I have a table of all permissions, which I sometimes use when working with responsive design. I updated it as of today, and here you are.

In addition to the logical screen resolutions, the table shows their physical resolutions, screen sizes in inches, aspect ratios, pixel density, as well as the year of release of each model for a more vivid experience. In general, all comprehensive information in one place.

Overall dimensions of iPhones 7, 7 Plus, 6, 6S, 6 Plus, 5, 5S, 4 in centimeters

Last year, 2016, two new iPhones 7 and 7 Plus were presented to the world. They have many differences, but the most important thing is the size of the phone.

Overall dimensions of iPhones 7, 7 Plus, 6, 6S, 6 Plus, 5, 5S, 4 in centimeters

iPhone 7 has more modest dimensions, and its diagonal is only 4.7 inches. Please note that this size completely coincides with the size of the iPhone 6, all innovations are in the characteristics.

iPhone 7 size:

Case height - 13.83 cm

Case width - 6.71 cm

Case thickness - 0.71 cm

Screen size – 10.41*5.85 cm

Weight - 138 g

iPhone 7 Plus has more impressive dimensions:

Case height - 15.82 cm

Case width - 7.79 cm

Case thickness - 0.73 cm

Screen size – 12.18*6.85 cm

Weight - 188 g

For those who are currently looking for an older but no less reliable iPhone model, the parameters of earlier models will be useful.

iPhone 6 size

Case height - 13.83 cm

Case width - 6.71 cm

Case thickness - 0.71 cm

iPhone 6 Plus is naturally larger than iPhone 6, but completely identical in size to iPhone 7 Plus

Case height - 15.82 cm

Case width - 7.79 cm

Case thickness - 0.73 cm

Weight - 192 g

The iPhone 5 is made of a combination of ceramic and aluminum, which makes it lighter, but still quite decent in size.

Case height - 12.4 cm

Case width - 5.8 cm

Case thickness - 0.76 cm

Weight - 112 g

The iPhone 5s is only slightly different in size, so much so that it is not visible to the naked eye.

Case height - 12.38 cm

Case width - 5.86 cm

Case thickness - 0.76 cm

Weight - 112 g

And for example, let's compare with the iPhone 4 . Its characteristics, as well as its dimensions, are in many ways inferior to the latest models, but reliability, quality and, of course, the brand are undeniable. If you are not chasing new products, and your goal is a reliable device at an affordable price, the iPhone 4 is exactly what you need.

Case height - 11.52 cm

Case width - 5.86 cm

Comparison of iPhone 7 and 7 Plus sizes

For visual understanding, we also provide a photo comparison of the iPhone 7, iPhone 7 Plus, as well as their predecessors. Please note that despite the visual similarity, the characteristics of the iPhone 7 relative to the iPhone 6 are much higher, because this is another step into the future.

Sound!

The ringing speaker in the first generation iPhone was frankly weak, and the same Nokia E61/61i tore it to shreds. In the iPhone 3G the situation became a little better, in the 3GS there were no changes, but the iPhone 4 pleased us with its really high-quality and bassy sound. In the iPhone 4S, according to subjective sensations, the sound became flatter and louder. In iPhone 5, the company has improved the speakers, while reducing their size by 20%.

The design of the speakers has been changed, new magnets and coil design have obviously been used. The result is an extended frequency range. We'll find out after the release whether the iPhone really sounded better.

There are now three microphones in the gadget - but how could it be otherwise? Apple has changed absolutely everything about the device - it's a completely new iPhone. One microphone is located on the front panel, the second is on the bottom edge, and the third is on the rear panel. Such a harsh configuration is needed for an advanced noise reduction system and improved speech quality.

The headphones are brand new too. The unusual shape is designed to improve the comfort of wearing the droplets. Before achieving the desired result, more than a hundred prototypes were created and extensive testing was carried out on more than 600 people.

In addition, the sound quality has been improved. In particular, speakers with a composite diaphragm were used. In it, the company used two different materials - rigid and flexible. The design is such that it allows you to achieve a clear return with a sufficiently large amplitude of movement of the diaphragm. This expands the frequency range with minimal loss when transmitting sound through speakers.

Finally, the included Apple headphones should have bass! Cleverly located holes in the body of the droplets, or more precisely, in their lower part, are responsible for its formation. Thus, the company's engineers implemented a kind of acoustic chamber.

For those who are not yet ready to consider the very expensive but highly desirable iPhone 7 model, we suggest comparing and choosing earlier models.

We hope we have answered all your questions regarding iPhone sizes, and you have finally decided which model to order.

Honeycombs with 4G flavor

Surprisingly, Apple managed to squeeze an LTE module into such a thin, compact and light smartphone. It has long been no secret that competing “shovels” with such a modem owe their large dimensions to a certain extent to this gluttonous component, which requires a separate antenna and a capacious battery.

The Cupertino company was in no hurry to introduce 4G support to the iPhone, waiting for the availability of a universal radio module with support for HSPA+, DC-HSDPA and LTE. It's compact, it's energy efficient, it's truly VERSATILE.

Apple did not step on the rake, as it did with the new iPad, when only the Canadian and American LTE standard was supported. iPhone 5 will be able to provide high-speed data transfer in most countries where there are fourth-generation cellular networks. It is quite possible that Russia will also be on the list.

It is also worth noting that a single chip is used to transmit voice and data, which is also an achievement (saving energy and space on the motherboard). In addition, Schiller mentioned a certain “dynamic antenna”, but did not explain what it was.

The Wi-Fi module is also new and also fashionable, with support for two Wi-Fi frequency bands (2.4 and 5 GHz) and the IEEE 802.11n protocol.

Bluetooth 4.0 - everything is traditional, plus GPS, GLONASS and a digital compass.

Smartphone promotion

After the announcement, the company's shares rose in price. After just 2 days it was possible to place a pre-order. On September 14, the first batch of 2 million devices was ordered in just an hour. Previous models sold within a day. So this figure turned out to be a record.

Some resources conducted a social survey, which indicated that half of the buyers were generally dissatisfied with the new product. Although if you remember what year the iPhone 5 came out, it’s hard to imagine what users didn’t like. After all, at that time it was definitely the best smartphone on the market.

Later, information was collected that some turned out to be opponents of the new Lightning connector, others were not used to nano-sim, which had just appeared, and still others were upset by the lack of a 128 GB version. But almost 40% of buyers were absolutely satisfied with the purchase.

Innovations

Speaking of packaging, it’s worth mentioning the redesigned headphones. It was then that the now popular EarPods became known, of which a huge number of copies are now being made. Along with the new smartphone, the user saw for the first time a redesigned headset from Apple.

The shape of the droplet has changed, which now seems very convenient for any ear. Also on the ear pad there are several holes at once, from which sound comes. They are directed in different directions, which significantly improves sound quality.

But not only the shape and new holes affected the sound quality. The developers tried to improve it in other ways. This is probably why EarPods now seem like standard “droplets”.

The sound became better, high-quality bass appeared, which got rid of extraneous noise and a rattling tint.

"Stuffing" of the smartphone

For the new device, the company has prepared a redesigned A 6 processor. The appearance of this chip did not cause as much excitement as it did with the A 12 this year. The CPU ran on 2 cores, while many competitive smartphones already ran on four. The core frequency reached only 1 GHz. However, the manufacturer then said that productivity would have to double.

As always, Apple did not disclose any technical details, but later we learned that the CPU had become more powerful due to a specially developed architecture, and an improved GPU with an increased frequency was responsible for graphics.

Performance was also supported by increased RAM capacity. Now users have access to 1 GB of RAM. Later, benchmark tests began to talk about improved performance.

Appearance of the smartphone

Of course, then it was difficult to imagine what would be possible to come up with to create new products like the iPhone Xs. But changes with devices occurred gradually. Of course, if now after “Five” they showed the same “Ten” it would seem like a colossal breakthrough. But between these two models, about 10 modifications were released. In 5 years it was possible to move from those technologies to the current ones.

The same thing happened in the year the iPhone 5 was released. The appearance was similar to that of the 4s model. The manufacturer made the body a little thinner and made it taller.

Due to this modification, the smartphone became lighter and looked more modern in the hands. The designers decided to enlarge the screen. This would hardly have happened if Steve Jobs were alive. The Apple founder spent his entire life fighting to make the display smaller. He probably never expected that a 6.5-inch iPhone would appear in 2022.

Still, they did a good job on The Five. The new product was aimed at male and female audiences at the same time. Due to its strict shapes and classic colors, men definitely liked it, but the lightness and certain weightlessness of the device attracted women.

It was decided to change the body material. The iPhone 4s was made of glass, but the new product received an anodized aluminum cover. Now the surface of the case had a matte finish, and the black seemed less rich and looked more like dark gray.

In this model, it was decided to move the headphone jack from top to bottom, and also redesign the speakers.

Sales

What year did iPhone 5 come out? This happened in 2012. 10 days after the presentation, it was possible to purchase the phone from official dealers. Australia was the first to try out the new product.

It later turned out that usually the first in line were employees of mobile operators and representatives of the media who wanted to be the first to record a review. In Japan, resellers were seen in the forefront, who bought the device for 600 - 700 dollars, and resold it for a thousand “American rubles”.

There were also those who stood in line for a whole week. Thus, the first buyer in the USA was able to hold out for 7 days for the sake of his dream. Afterwards, in an interview, Hazim Said said that he was very pleased with the purchase.

When did iPhone 5 come out in Russia? This happened much later than in other countries - December 14. It’s difficult to guess what this is connected with, but such a delay did not prevent some fans from acquiring the “Five” earlier.

Many went abroad to buy a new smartphone. Some fell for the provocation of unscrupulous sellers who imported “gray” models into the country.

The emergence of the smartphone

In what year the iPhone 5 came out, many will no longer remember. But the presentation, as always, took place on September 12. This happened in 2012. On September 21, the phone was launched almost worldwide. Only Russia, which was able to sell the iPhone 5 from December 14, was deprived.

The presentation took place in San Francisco, California. The company's current engineer, Jonathan Ive, worked on the new product. Interestingly, data about this model began to appear even before the announcement of the 4s. The death of Steve Jobs led to even more active leaks, which was unusual for the company before.

Before the announcement took place, Apple decided to attract the attention of journalists. They sent out invitations to some members of the media, which showed the number 12 casting a shadow in the shape of the number 5.

During the announcement, not only a new smartphone was presented, but also an iPod, iOS 6, iTunes 11, as well as a new store in Barcelona. It became known that the music resource was closing.

Nano-Sim - oh no!

The completely new iPhone also has a completely new SIM slot, which in this case is not at all pleasing. There were many rumors about nano-SIM, now they are confirmed.

The new standard SIM card is 44% more compact than micro-SIM. This, of course, is good, it allows you to save space in the super-thin case of the iPhone 5. But cutting off the SIM cards used in the iPhone 4/4S will not help now. Most likely, you will have to get a new card. The problem is that nano-SIM is thinner than micro-SIM and mini-SIM. The last two have the same thickness.

We can only hope that the cunning Chinese will come up with a cunning device for cutting SIM cards not only at the edges, but also in thickness.

New cable

In the package you can also notice a new Lightning cable, which appeared in the package for the first time in the year of release of the iPhone 5. It was decided to change the docking device connector. It has become more compact and thinner. Probably, it was then that the idea of ​​making devices ultra-thin was born.

Some users were unhappy with this connector option because it was considered not universal. But now this problem does not seem serious, since developers have long ago transferred their devices to this type of cable.

There is never too much charge

The processor has become more powerful, an LTE module has appeared, the display diagonal has increased - all this requires greater energy consumption. But Apple managed to maintain the iPhone’s autonomy at a decent level, and in some places even improve it.

How the company achieved this - whether by increasing the battery capacity or by some other “shamanic” methods - is not clear. In addition, it is worth remembering that official battery test results may differ from actual operating experience. Although, Apple usually doesn't play around with this.

So, web surfing or talking using a 3G connection will drain the iPhone 5 battery to zero in eight hours. Web surfing when using the LTE module is also eight hours, which is excellent. Surfing the Internet via Wi-Fi increases battery life by a couple of hours. It is similar when watching videos, that is, 10 hours - slightly less than the new iPad. You can listen to music for up to 40 hours without recharging the battery, and in standby mode the device can work up to 225 hours.
