It wasn't as ground-breaking or as special as the X or the XS, but a colored, more affordable option, which did succeed, but everyone agreed it wasn't as good as the X, XS, or the XS Max. The day a man Naruto Ran, in Area 51, Apple announced the least-expensive addition to its annual line, yet a running contender for 's most famous and popular phone. That same day, Apple released the iPhone 11 Pro, a slightly bigger iPhone with a prominent triple-camera back.
This phone made headlines as it released, mostly in the meme world. Also on this same day, Apple released its most expensive phone to date, the iPhone 11 Pro Max. The Pro Max featured a Super HD Retina XDR display, basically the same as the iPhones 11 and 11Pro, but with a considerably larger screen, proving to be just enough of an advance to rack up many buyers on its release, regardless of its price.
On October 13th, , Apple announced their follow-up to the iPhone 11, the 12 and 12 mini with edge-to-edge Super Retina XDR displays and a new Ceramic Shield cover which their press release stated was "the biggest jump in durability ever on iPhone". Powered by an A14 Bionic chip, and with a dual-camera system capable of shooting HDR video on Dolby Vision on an Ultra-Wide camera and a new Wide camera, the 12 boasted the best video quality of any smartphone on the market at that time.
Its 5G connectivity, a first for iPhones, also generated buzz with Apple's senior vice president of Worldwide Marketing, Greg Joswiak, calling it "the beginning of a new era for iPhone" in their release. The iPhone 13 is expected to launch in September , and there has been no shortage of rumors circulating in the meantime. In May, DigiTimes reported that production officially started for the new iPhone's A15 processor, which indicated that the release would not be delayed—as it was in for the launch of the iPhone Qasim is a young writer who aspires to be something big.

On June 9, , a year after the original iPhone went on sale, Apple rolled out its successor, the iPhone 3G.
The new model could connect to faster 3G-based networks, included built-in GPS, offered more storage and was cheaper. Although the form factor was unchanged from the previous version, the new iPhone was twice as fast as its predecessor and ran iPhone 3. The iPhone 3GS was available June 19, The redesigned iPhone 4 arrived on June 7, in tandem with the newly-renamed iOS 4, and marked the arrival of FaceTime video chat. In a change of pace, Apple unveiled the iPhone 4S on Oct.
The iPhone 5, the first version to have a 4-in. The iPhone 5 hit the streets on Sept. Last Sept. The iPhone 5C was basically a reskinned iPhone 5. The iPhone 5S got a faster, bit A7 SoC system on a chip , Touch ID, and a new motion data processor touted as the foundation for a new wave of health and fitness apps. Both went on sale Sept.
For the second year in a row, Apple unveiled two iPhones: the iPhone 6, which has a 4. Apple's iPhone 6S and 6S Plus represent meaty upgrades to the models on which they're based. The 6S and 6S plus get new force touch technology called 3D Touch, as well as a beefed up megapixel iSight camera that can shoot 4K video.
The 5-megapixel FaceTime camera is also new, and is designed to take better selfies. Both phones run on a faster A9 chip, and come in a new color for rose gold. The iPhone 7 and 7 Plus look much like the models with three major exceptions: Apple eliminated the audio jack, changed the home button into a haptic-based virtual button and added a dual-camera setup in the 7S.
The loss of the audio jack, a somewhat controversial move, means users will have to rely on the Apple-supplied earbuds or use their old headphones with the included adapter.
Both phones run on a quad-core A10 Fusion chip, and come in two new colors: Black a matte-finish charcoal color and the super shiny Jet Black. The front and back glass enclosure, which Apple claims is the most durable glass ever in a smartphone, is reminiscent of the design of the iPhone 4 and 4s. Essentially, the iPhone SE took many of the hardware upgrades that came from the iPhone 6 and 6S and put them into a phone that looked more like the iPhone 5, giving those who prefer smaller phones the best of both worlds.
Just about a year after the release of the iPhone 6 and 6 Plus, Apple once again unleashed a new set of its signature device. Apple got rid of the headphone jack. This was the first time in iPhone history that users would have to connect their headphones via BlueTooth, and the company was heavily criticized for this move. However, most people liked what Apple did with the rest of the phone. For example, this was the first iPhone to be water and dust resistant, and the introduction of iOS 10 made apps such as Maps, Photos, and Music run more smoothly, and it also introduced some new features to Messages, such as special effects for messages.
As for other upgrades, the iPhone 7 received the usual gambit of improvements, such as an improved processor and better battery life.
Screen sizes stayed basically the same, as did screen resolution and pixel density. In addition to screen size, the 7 Plus featured two rear cameras to help deliver even better quality images. However, beyond this, the two phones were pretty much the same.
Here is a summary of the what was new with the iPhone 7 and 7 Plus:. One thing to note here is the higher prices, which resulted from the decision by many wireless carriers to stop offering discounts for two-year contracts. Instead, customers had to pay for phones in full, either upfront or via monthly payments, which increased the cost to the customer, although these numbers were close to what the phones cost all throughout iPhone history.
Instead, they skipped right to the iPhone 8 and iPhone 8 Plus. Instead, Apple chose to simply install faster processors and better cameras, as these were the things the public demanded. With the iPhone 8, things were not much different. However, Apple did introduce one new thing with the iPhone 8 and 8 Plus: inductive charging, which is often referred to more commonly as wireless charging.
This feature allows the iPhone to be charged without being plugged in, although you need a special device to make this work. The only other major novelty to come with the iPhone 8 was an improved processor. This new version of the phone has an Apple A11 quad-core, bit, 2. The motion coprocessor was improved to an M11, and the camera lens was also upgraded slightly. Apple also broke with recent tradition when releasing this phone by only offeing one version of the device.
All versions of the iPhone that have been released since have been modeled off the iPhone X, and we can expect that to continue in the future. But no one really knows for sure. The first thing that jumps out about the iPhone X is that it is all screen.
Apple did away with much of the material surrounding the screen, and it put in an OLED display that covers the entire surface of the phone. Doing away with the Home button, though, means there is no more Touch ID. But to compensate, the iPhone X has facial recognition, meaning all you need to do is look at your phone to unlock it. Another new feature of the iPhone X are Aniemojis, which are emojis that move on the screen and that can be created using an avatar based on your own face.
While this is hardly a technological breakthrough, it certainly made the iPhone more fun. First, at 5. This allows it to have a screen resolution of x pixels, which provides ppi. Apple has dubbed this screen Super Retina. As you can see, these phones are getting more expensive. In short, phones are no longer just phones. They are mini-computers and people are willing to pay top dollar for them.
While the iPhone X was certainly a big step forward in iPhone history, some were skeptical it was the right move for the company. The device was expensive, and it marked a big change from all the phones it had released up until that point. The main goal of this upgrade was to improve upon the iPhone X, a phone which made considerable changes to the look and functionality of the iPhone, while also improving its speed.
In the process of doing this, Apple also made the phone almost completely water and dust resistant. Although Apple put quite a bit of work into making the XS and XS Max seem significantly different than the iPhone X, in reality, the phones are very similar.
The XS Max, by design, is larger. It has a 6. Both phones got an upgraded camera, largely with improved HDR and image stabilization technology, and although the front-facing camera remained the same, Apple updated the technology to make sure Face ID works more quickly. Probably the most significant upgrade is in the processor. Lastly, battery life was slightly improved. Battery life on the iPhone XR is similar to that of the XS, and in some areas, it is actually slightly better.
Many likely remember when Apple randomly jumped from the iPhone 8 to the iPhone X, which many assumed was a transition to Roman numerals. But what about the iPhone 9?
And are they really going to call the next one iPhone XI?? We are too. But thankfully, Apple decided to return back to its traditional numbering system quietly skipping over number 9 and on September 10, released the iPhone But there are of course some things to be excited about. As with the iPhone XR, the iPhone 11 has two rear cameras, but the newer version is equipped with a megapixel lens.
Other features include a new night mode to improve low-light photography and 4k video capability. The iPhone 11 also boasts better battery time than its predecessors, with Apple claiming it will last an additional hour. For the first time in iPhone history, an iPhone will have three cameras on the back of it, one of which is a telephoto lens and one of which is an ultra-wide-angle. This just shows how much Apple understands the importance of a good camera in a phone.
We live in an Instagram era, folks. But this camera is for more than just social media. One example presented by Apple is deep fusion, which actually takes nine photos using the three lenses almost at once, and then it processes these images to find the best version of your subject. Pretty cool stuff. Internally, the iPhone 11 Pro and Pro Max are the same. The only difference is the size. Although was a crazy year for many reasons, mainly because of the Coronavirus pandemic, some things stayed the same, such as Apple releasing a new iPhone.
This generation of iPhones, known collectively as the iPhone 12, marked a new era in the history of the iPhone. Pre-orders for the iPhone 12 and iPhone 12 Pro began on October 16, and hit stores on October 23, The event was an online presentation conducted from its headquarters in Apple Park the first online presentation in the history of the WWDC events and was streamed live to an audience of about 1. As the latest model of iPhone at the time, the iPhone 12 features a number of upgrades as compared to the iPhone 11, such as:.
This is a major departure from the rounded design used since the iPhone 6. The front and back ceramic glass panels are bound by an aluminum frame in the iPhone 12 and 12 mini, while the iPhone 12 Pro and Pro Max have a stainless steel frame. The speaker and the TrueDepth Camera are housed in a notch in the top section of the screen. The U. S models of the iPhone 12 have a new 5G mmWave antenna. S market. The iPhone 12 mini is 5. In the IP68 number, the 6 refers to dust resistance and means the iPhone 12 Pro can hold up to dirt, dust, and other particulates , while the 8 pertains to water resistance.
IP6x is the highest dust resistance rating in existence. The iPhone 12 and 12 mini are available in red, black, white, green, and blue. All features on these two devices are similar except for the size and weight. The mini weighs in at 4. The major issues that users might have with the iPhone 12 mini is battery life.
Being a smaller device compared to the previous versions, the battery is smaller to fit in the compact design. However, Apple claims that compared to the iPhone 12, the 12 mini can get 10 rather than 11 hours of streaming, and 50 rather than 65 hours of audio playback on a charge.
The iPhone 12 and iPhone 12 mini support fast charging and can charge to 50 percent within 30 minutes using a Lightning to USB-C cable and a 20W power adapter. Screenwise, the iPhone 12 and iPhone 12 mini spot a 6. Typical max brightness is nits on the iPhone 12 models. This, coupled with OLED technology, gives the iPhone 12 a much crisper picture experience and better viewing angles than any previous generation of iPhone. All iPhone 12 models have nano-ceramic crystals infused in the scratch-resistant glass fascia.
This means the device has 4 times better fall resistance compared to the iPhone This 5nm chipset has The GPU in the A14 chip also offers improved graphics performance for up to 8. Apple has also brought back the MagSafe charging technology. This means a MagSafe Charger snaps onto the back of an iPhone, much like a magnet snaps onto a refrigerator.
All iPhone 12 models also maintain Face ID for biometric identification. Since both the iPhone 12 and 12 mini lack a telephoto lens, they only support 5x digital zoom and 2x optical zoom out with the Ultra Wide lens but no optical zoom in.
This was the first iPhone to fully support 5G Networks. Apple responded to the request and claimed that by removing the charger from the packaging, the company was cutting back on carbon emissions produced especially when mining for precious materials that are used in the development of the chargers. However, Proton-SP was not satisfied by this response and claimed that Apple has no action on a possible application of reverse logistics for the collection of old devices and adapters for recycling and proper disposal, which would impact the protection of the environment.
This could mean that iPhone 12 users in Brazil might have the charger included when purchasing their devices in the coming months. There have also been reports by users of a much higher battery drain rate than expected.
Apple is yet to address this issue. Similarly, another group of users on the apple forums to complain about signal loss on their new iPhone 12 devices.
As per the users, many of them see a drop in the network just after a few minutes of usage. The biggest upgrade might be the smallest; the A12 bionic chip increased the processing power while decreasing battery drain.
The iPhone XR was also announced at the September event, but wasn't available right away. Because it was the cheaper of the new models, quite a few people decided to wait for the XR to be available. The iPhone 11 is the least expensive of Apple's annual line, but still has enough new features to be in the running for 's most popular iPhone. The device features a 6.
The most exciting addition may be the second camera on the back of the 11, both 12 MP, and offering wide and ultra-wide lenses. For Apple customers looking for a smaller phone with a top-of-the-line display, the iPhone 11 Pro was perfect.
The 5. This phone featured not two, but three, 12 MP HDR camera lenses, offering wide, ultra-wide, and telephoto lenses. The color options were more muted than the iPhone 11, but there was always the option to add a flashy case!
Apple's largest and most expensive phone of was the iPhone 11 Pro Max. The Pro Max featured the same, three-lens camera setup as the 11 Pro, as well as the same color choices, making size nearly the only difference between the devices. The iPhone SE is the second of its kind, and is loved by those who prefer smaller iPhones.
Apple takes a few cues from the past with this throwback iPhone. The 4. The second-generation SE offers many of the features of Apple's most expensive iPhones, including an A13 Bionic chip, advanced camera system with Portrait mode and Depth Control, high-definition video, wireless charging capability, and long battery life. The iPhone 12 mini is a surprisingly small but still very powerful addition to the iPhone family.
This thin and incredibly light smartphone measures in at just 5. The only notable differences between the iPhone 12 mini and the iPhone 12 are that the mini is smaller and has an estimated battery life that's 2 hours shorter than that of the larger iPhone The 6. This mid-range model also includes the dual-lens camera, which is good enough for everyday users.
However, Apple did include some impressive upgrades to their higher-end iPhone 12 Pro and Pro Max phones for those who choose their iPhones for their camera capabilities,.
The iPhone 12 Pro boasts some very fancy camera and color upgrades as compared to the 12 and the 12 mini, but comes in the same 6. New camera features introduced in include a triple-lens arrangement like we saw with the iPhone 11 Pro models, but with LiDAR scanning, improved Night Mode, and enhanced zoom range and lens functions.
Both iPhone 12 Pro models include the fastest aperture ever used in an iPhone. Apple has added RAW photos for superior pro editing capability, and has included Dolby Vision up to 60 frames per second in the Pro models.
The iPhone 12 Pro Max, features all of the benefits of the 12 Pro, but with some upgrades and a considerable size difference. The most distinguishing characteristic of this iPhone is its screen size.
The iPhone 13 line's base model maintains many of the design features re- introduced in the iPhone 12 series, but comes with a 20 percent smaller notch, accommodated by a new camera layout. It runs on the A15 chip, which is an upgrade over the previous generation of iPhones, and the camera features some significant improvements, including Cinematic mode and Photographic Styles.
A big selling point for the iPhone 13 is the price point: it starts at the same price as the iPhone 12 did when released, but its base model offers double the storage space. The screen size remains the same at 6. Like its bigger siblings, the iPhone 13 mini runs on Apple's A15 Bionic chip, making it a powerhouse in a small package.
Its battery life has improved up to an hour and a half a day over the iPhone 12 mini. As with other iPhone 13 models, the mini features big camera improvements, and the most storage available of any mini model at a maximum storage capacity of GB. Its design and physical size also largely mirror the iPhone 12 mini, clocking in with a screen size of 5. The iPhone 13 Pro features a 6.
