How Has the iPhone Evolved, from 2007 to 2017?

This article gives a clear answer about How Has the iPhone Evolved, from 2007 to 2017. It explains the main idea, practical context, and details that help readers understand the subject.

22 hours today (Vietnam time) Apple will introduce a new set of 3 iPhones. It is undeniable that the iPhone is a product line that makes Apple the most valuable company in the world. Before the launch of the new iPhone line, we look back at the iPhone's "evolution" process to see how it has grown and become the market leader.

You can refer to the article: How to watch Apple's iPhone 8 event directly? if you want to see the launch event of Apple directly.

iPhone (2007)

2007 was the year that the Black Bery Curve debuted with Nokia's N95 slider phone, which received high praise and appreciation from everyone. The first iPhone is unlike any other name mentioned above. It is a flat phone, has a 3.5-inch capacitive touchscreen, a round aluminum body and very few buttons to press. iPhone 2007 has 2 versions of internal memory of 4GB and 8GB with prices of $499 and 599 respectively. The iPhone is much more expensive than its competitors, so Apple dropped the 4GB version, made an 8GB version for $399.

Apple tried to create the best possible phone at the time and the aesthetic factor soon pushed device manufacturers to switch to multi-touch screens. However, some design and specifications of the early iPhone also make people skeptical. Do you remember the 3.5mm headphone jack, at that time if you wanted to use your favorite headphones, people had to use an adapter, which seemed quite inconvenient. Also, the phone only supports Cingular's EDGE data network, not faster 3G networks. Steve Jobs defended this view by pointing out that the 3G-enabled chipset consumes more battery power.

What really makes iPhone shine is software. Even when quite primitive, iOS has brought a significant difference compared to other smartphone operating systems. Its first WebKit-based browser is quite amazing when compared to similar applications on other devices. The way phones work with multitouch has changed the way users use phones. That doesn't mean that the operating system is perfect, it doesn't connect to most email servers, making it difficult for people who often have to work with email. Virtual keyboard is not as convenient and lovely as it is now, you have to make sure you don't type too fast because it only gets one touch at a time. iPhone is not able to send MMS messages, you can only send photos to your friends via email or unofficial applications created for jailbroken iPhones.

iPhone jailbreak story: from a time of intense fire to death.

iPhone 2007 is still a symbol in smartphone history, and many more iPhones are coming.

iPhone 3G (2008)

After iPhone 2007, Apple had to "fight" on two fronts: 1 is to launch the 2nd and 2nd generation iPhone to make sure people can do more things on the iPhone. In March 2008, Apple released a set of software development tools, at the same time a Silicon Valley company announced a $100 million fund to help promote iPhone software development. 4 months later, iPhone 3G launched with iOS 2.0 and Apple Store, only about 500 applications on it. Users are quite satisfied with the features on 3G and its appearance. 3G removed the aluminum frame, replaced by PC plastic, has two colors black and white, there are 2 types of memory is 8GB and 16 GB. Material changes have improved the speed of receiving signals but plastic shells tend to crack, especially around the Lightning port. The curvature of the iPhone 3G provides a comfortable grip. Other phone features like the screen, the camera remains the same.

This 3G name is set because the iPhone has 3G support and users can use the high-speed network, making browsing faster. The price of the iPhone 3G has dropped significantly, 8GB is only $199, 16GB is $299, so it has been more widely accepted.

iPhone 3GS (2009)

1 year later, 3G reappears with S, S tail here is speed - speed. 3GS has an updated processor, twice as much RAM as 3G and runs about 2 times faster. Although the performance has greatly improved, the appearance is not much different. You can guess from the name, this phone starts to update Apple's "tick-tock" plan, you will get new features wrapped in a new design, then will come to a phone. Voice with similar design but better performance.

Of course, performance is not the only improvement, the 3MP camera can autofocus, video recording, the screen has an extra coating to make the display color better, Bluetooth performance is also improved, battery pull a little bit longer. But because many people have bought 3G before with a 2-year contract, they are not very interested in 3GS.

iPhone 4 (2010)

While the 3GS order is still on the horizon, Apple has begun designing the iPhone 4. iPhone 4 is covered with flat glass both front and back, separated by a stainless steel tape, running around the phone and acting like its antenna. The iPhone 4 has achieved a great step forward in aesthetics, but a serious design flaw has arisen, the way you hold your phone will affect the cellular reception. Apple then came up with a way to fix this problem.

iPhone 4 brings many great improvements, maybe Steve Jobs has overreacted about the iPhone but it is true that the 960x540's Retina screen of the iPhone 4 at that time did not have a comparable phone. iPhone 4 has been equipped with front camera along with FaceTime feature to make video chat easier.

The A4 chipset (the first Apple designed itself) with 512MB of RAM has created a leap in performance. The advent of iOS 4 also means making multitasking applications on iPhone. Some small features like the second microphone to improve noise removal, gyroscopes allow for more precise motion control in games and applications.

iPhone 5S (2013)

The 5S's Home button is a little different, comes with TouchID, Apple's first fingerprint sensor, used to unlock the phone, authenticate purchases on iTunes. The iPhone 5S also has a new yellow and gray color, marking the change in Apple's hardware palette since the iPhone appeared.

On the hardware side, the A7 chipset is the first processor with a 64bit architecture on Apple's smartphone. Besides, it is also a combined processor called M7, which helps manage data from countless phone sensors. 8MP camera is updated with larger pixels, larger aperture, can shoot movies slowly at 120 frames per second.

In terms of software, iOS 7 has renewed all the previous classic designs of Apple, bringing a better, more intuitive aesthetic. Installation shortcuts are added to the Control Center, the Notification Center is redesigned and AirDrop helps to download files quickly from iOS devices.

After that, Apple launched the iPhone 5C version with no difference in performance compared to the iPhone 5, but the price was softer. Apple did this by creating plastic 5C shells with more colors and cheaper costs. The reason why users want to own this 5C version is because of the modest price and many color options. Although still bringing in $24 million, it seems to be unsuccessful as expected by Apple.

iPhone 6/Plus (2014)

When the smartphone market is flooded with big screen Android phones, Apple has introduced the iPhone 6 4.7-inch screen (1334 x 750 resolution) and the iPhone 6 Plus 5.5-inch screen with 1080p resolution.

Not only that, if the iPhone 5 looks like a flat metal plate, then the 6 and 6 Plus are more rounded and friendly, reminiscent of Apple's first iPhone. The power button from the top has been moved to the right side to make it easier to press and claw the shell to 6 vs 6 Plus slimmer than 5S. But it seems that this claw has affected the bearing capacity of iPhone 6/Plus, making them bend when subjected to high pressure.

Inside, all 6 vs 6 Plus are similar, with the improved A8 chipset and 1GB of RAM. iPhone 6 still has a 16GB, 32GB version and customers can pay extra for a 64GB or 128GB version. 6 and 6 Plus run on iOS 8, support connection with 3rd party keyboard and some new features.

Of course, the difference of 6 and 6 Plus is not only in size, the screen of 6 Plus has a higher pixel density, making text and images appear clearer and more beautiful. And only the 6 Plus camera has optical vibration resistance, but iPhone 6 camera does not.

iPhone 6S/Plus (2015)

By the time iPhone 6S and 6S Plus were released, Apple's update rate was well understood. Not surprisingly, both use the improved A9 chipset with 2GB of RAM and look exactly like the previous models. Fortunately, Apple has increased its resistance to bending under pressure for these two phones. This is also the year that Apple added pink gold to the iPhone and was popular with many users.

The camera has been raised to 12MP, capable of 4K video recording (which Android devices have done so long before). New Live Photos lets you take more interesting photos. 3D Touch has taken full advantage of the 6S screen advantage, you press lightly to show the shortcut and emphasize to access the context menu.

iOS 9 runs on iPhone 6S, 6S Plus with Siri is smarter and more useful. Search has improved significantly, the map is also more useful for users.

For users who still love the small screen, Apple brought the iPhone SE, a compact but powerful device. A9 chip provides excellent performance and impressive battery life.

iPhone 7/Plus (2016)

This is a surprise, for the first time in its history, Apple has retained the same design for two generations of phones. iPhone 7 and 7 Plus are not much different from iPhone 6S/Plus.

Both versions have no added IP67 headphone, water and dust jacks, this is the first time that iPhone devices have this capability, although Android devices have enhanced water resistance in the many years. Some changes related to chipset and RAM that you can see in the comparison table below.

The difference between 7 and 7 Plus is not much, mainly in the camera. iPhone 7 has a 12MP camera, with quad-LED flash and optical stabilization. 7 Plus has a more efficient dual camera, allowing users to zoom in optically and add bokeh to the photo background in portrait mode.
