List of all iPhone Models: Every iPhone Model Since 2007

When Steve Jobs launched the first-ever iPhone model, no one knew how far Apple would come by 2024. Be it LIDAR, better cameras, a secure operating system, or quality, Apple iPhones have excelled and continue to do so. In this article, we take you back to the giant tech journey of every iPhone ever launched since 2007, the list of all iPhone Models till 2024.

Apple’s simplicity is what makes it stand out, and it is wanted by more people. In the recent Apple event, Apple also showed how powerful iPhones have become with iOS 18 and user-intent-based usage. The introduction of Apple Intelligence, the more interconnected usability of Siri, and many more features have made the iPhone more powerful than before. No doubt, Apple’s collaboration with ChatGPT has now eliminated the need for several notes, reminders, and search apps; it’s all on your iPhone and your command. With iOS 18, Apple has also introduced a change in their UI, a more intrusive controlled center, and more options with the dark interface. But that’s all software.

iPhone’s hardware has also improved a lot; you can now play certain PC games on your iPhone, such as Assassins Creed, or connect a PS controller (Get Best Deal) and have all the fun. The GPU engines have become a lot more capable, and we can expect more improvement with the new iPhones launching in September 2024. We will talk more about the cameras, hardware, and software with each model for a better understanding.

List of iPhone Models: Every Single iPhone Since 2007

From the first iPhone to the iPhone 15 Pro Max, Apple has gone from a slow change to a rapid hit. One of the things about the iPhone is you may get a certain feature 2-5 years later than what the Android launched, but it is much steadier and better. For instance, the dynamic display island has been around for quite a time on Chinese phones, but only recently, with the iPhone 14 Pro, the feature was introduced on iPhones. But, a lot better, steadier, and available to more apps.

So, it is safe to say Apple may be late to a certain feature, but when it does, it tries to do a lot better.

There is a lot to talk about regarding the iPhone and iPad, but let us now jump right in with the list of every single iPhone model launched ever since 2007 in chronological order.

1. iPhone

The first-ever iPhone, the iPhone (aka First Generation iPhones), was one of the biggest hits. Launched in January 2007 and first available in the United States in June 2007, Apple made history. The device pictured fewer buttons and clutter to make it the best among its competitors. The first-generation iPhones were priced at $499 for a 4GB model and $599 for an 8GB model; a 3.5-inch diagonal screen size, a 2-megapixel camera, and sync with mail, notes, and bookmarks.

2. iPhone 3G

The next iPhone model on our list is the iPhone 3G launched a year after the first-ever iPhone. iPhone 3G made a significant impact in the mobile phone industry; it was the first phone to bring GPS into smartphones. The iPhone 3G resembled a lot like the first iPhone, with no extra clutter, the improvements were UI-based, and Apple also launched the IOS App Store for the very first time.

3. iPhone 3GS

From the beginning, Apple believed in making improvements to their iPhone devices. The “iPhone 3Gs” was a successor of the iPhone 3G with the same screen size and improved hardware specifications. One of the major changes that Apple made was the voice-control ability. What is now known as Siri was not Apple’s first voice control; it had a precursor of Siri that made the iPhone 3Gs stand out among its competitors. Besides, Apple also resolved one of the bigger user-based problems: the fingerprint marks. Since iPhones were some of the first mobile devices with a maximum touchscreen, users faced many problems with fingerprints. Apple solved this problem with oleophobic coating.

---

4. iPhone 4

The next device in our iPhone Models List is the appealing iPhone 4, launched in 2010. By the launch of the iPhone 4, Apple realized the need for the front camera and introduced it in the iPhone 4, which also featured a bigger screen size. The iPhone 4 was also one of the slimmest mobile devices in 2010, a smart move by Apple. Some of the other significant improvements include better noise quality (Dual Mics) and VGA resolution.

5. iPhone 4S

There were not many changes with the iPhone 4s that made it look different from the iPhone 4, but it was definitely how it works and the performance. With the iPhone 4s, Apple was the first-ever mobile device that launched the 1080p to the rear camera. Besides, the iPhone 4s was one of the fastest-selling mobile devices of its time before the next generation of iPhones, the iPhone 5, which made some bigger changes to the iPhone.

---

6. iPhone 5

With four elements: lens, illuminated sensor, three mics (for better noise cancellation), and IR filter, the iPhone 5 was one of the biggest redesigns of the iPhone lineup. The iPhone 5 also had one of the biggest changes in the broadband industry, the introduction of 4G and a 16:9 aspect screen ratio. This update to the iPhone models list was also significant because Apple improved the RAM capacity to 1 GB and CPU speed to 1.2 GHz; these were some of the first few steps to pace the mobile industry.

7. iPhone 5C

iPhone 5C didn’t have many hardware or software upgrades, but it was an innovative step. With iPhone 5C, Apple broke the Black and White mobile stereotypes and introduced colourful iPhones that were visually appealing. Additionally, the iPhone 5C was priced lesser than the earlier models to make it more available to common hands.

---

8. iPhone 5S

With the iPhone 5S, Apple’s innovative step was to change how the authentication system works. Apple made the home button work like a fingerprint sensor and changed the way one unlocks their iPhone. I believe, still, a lot of users love the fingerprint sensor and want it back on their iPhones; it is quick, efficient, and also much more secure. No doubt, there are a few Tech YouTubers that have cracked the fingerprint sensor.

iPhone 5S was a turning point for Apple, which landed it in a more premium and trusted phone category. It was the first smartphone with a 64-bit system.

---

9. iPhone 6

With the iPhone 6, Apple completely redesigned its Apple iPhone lineup; the iPhone 6 was relatively larger (6.9mm Screen Size), curvy, and had better redesigned, normalizing the power button to the side of the iPhones and powerful IOS. With more advanced processors and cameras, Apple made significant changes to their iPhone models list. In fact, the iPhone 6 lineup is still loved by Apple users who have owned it in those times.

10. iPhone 6 Plus

With the iPhone 6, Apple realized the demand for smartphones with bigger screen sizes, hence the iPhone 6 Plus. iPhone 6 Plus also introduced better camera optimizations, stability, and noise reduction. It was larger in size, and there weren’t other changes in looks compared to the iPhone 6.

---

11. iPhone 6S

Apple shifted from the label “mobile device” to a smart device with the introduction of the iPhone 6S. With 70% faster CPU power and 60% improved GPU performance, Apple built the iPhone 6S from scratch with core technologies and new materials. The aluminum mixed body, new UI, powerful A8 processors, and new features made it huge. I think theiPhone 6S is a significant addition to the list of iPhone models ever released since 2007. In fact, I still love it so much that I use the iPhone 6S as my secondary device, and the only problem is the battery degradation over time. Rest, it still works like a fine wine.

---

12. iPhone 6S Plus

Apple didn’t make any great changes to the iPhone 6S Plus in terms of design or how it looks, but it did come with some optimizations. The iPhone 6S Plus was the best in terms of optical image stabilization and a better 5-Megapixels camera. You might have noted that the display is brightened before the photo is captured; this is known as true tone retina flash, which was introduced with the iPhone 6S Plus model. The screen size was large in comparison to the iPhone 6s, but I have always found my palms to be small to hold it better.

13. iPhone SE

iPhone SE is one of the low-cost iPhones that Apple made for the iPhones to be accessible to everyone, and it has no less features. Offered at a lesser price than Apple’s flagship phones, the iPhone SE was stated as one of the world’s most powerful 4-inch smartphones during its launch.

---

14. iPhone 7

iPhone 7 was the first Apple device with no 3.5mm jack; this was when Apple replaced the wired earphones with AirPods. By far, this has been one of the best things that happened to Apple. The design change was also not limited to the earphone jack; the iPhone 7 was made with better water and dust resistance capabilities and a different home button. If you closely look at the home button on previous iPhones, you can feel the difference; the home button was now more pressure-sensitive, which made fingerprint authentication a better feature and resisted the damaging of home buttons, which was a big headache for Apple before the iPhone 7.

---

15. iPhone 7 Plus

Apple has constantly been improving the iPhone lineup, and there is no better thing than change. The iPhone 7 Plus featured the same design specifications as the iPhone 7 but with a better processor and camera quality. To boost the camera specs, Apple included a dual camera at the back of their iPhone for the very first time. Besides, the iPhone 7 Plus was much faster than Apple had until now; it recorded a 40% increase in speed compared to the iPhone 6 lineup.

17. iPhone 8 Plus

With better camera optimizations, performance boost, and image signal processing (Thanks to the A11 Bionic chip), the iPhone 8 saw a major demand in the smartphone industry.

iPhone 8 Plus was launched alongside the iPhone 8 and replicated the same design. Again, the idea was to improve the system performance and give a better experience to the users. It also featured low-light photography, which was fanciedby Android devices back then. iPhone 8 also came with an increase in RAM size; this ensured the iPhone 8 was faster than the previous iPhone models in the list.

---

18. iPhone X

iPhone X came with major design changes that said goodbye to the home button. With the iPhone X, Apple redesigned the iPhone; earlier, they had only removed the earphone jack, and with the iPhone X, they had also removed the home button. The users could find more screen space as there was less body-to-screen ratio and a large 5.8-inch OLED display. With the home button gone, the iPhone X took away the fingerprint sensor. So, what was the best way to unlock your iPhone? Facial recognition was introduced, which made unlocking your iPhone X quick and secure.

19. iPhone XR

iPhone XR is one of the budget-friendly iPhones made specifically for consumers who wanted to buy Apple but could not afford it as the prices for iPhones were shooting up.

Apple was too quick to stop the production of the iPhone X series, but it was loaded with massive changes, which were highlighted in the list of iPhone models. It had the sharpest OLEDs, Dolby vision, True depth camera system and enhanced FaceID. However, there were a lot of hardware challenges, and Apple had to stop production even before launching the next two iPhones, which was not typical Apple style.

---

21. iPhone XS Max

Apple previously allowed only a single SIM slot on their iPhones, be it any iPhone Model on the list, but the Apple iPhone XS Max changed the tradition. With the iPhone XS Max, Apple introduced dual SIM and a larger screen display (6.5′), which made a significant change. This was one of the largest screen sizes offered by Apple. It was one of the most powerful iPhones because of the A12 Bionic chip featuring 4-cores and efficient performance. Later, with the iPhone 14 Pro models, Apple allowed the use of E-sim and introduced dual physical sim slots with the 15 series in the US.

---

22. iPhone 11

iPhones have been known for constant camera improvements, and the iPhone 11 started a new phase of camera setup in iPhones. It features a standard wide-angle lens and an ultra-wide-angle lens. However, most of its competitors, such as Samsung, Xiaomi, and OnePlus, have Telephoto lenses, which was a major backslash for iPhones. 

With the iPhone 11, Apple also reconsidered the body material and added the haptic touch feature, which was supported along with all the IOS 13 devices. They claim it to be one of the toughest glasses and, yes, improved splash-resistance.

23. iPhone 11 Pro

Apart from these camera specifications, apple moved from a glassy body to a soft textured material that made iPhone 11 Pro more comfortable to use.

Despite the water resistance, you need to understand the IPXX rating, as it also signifies splash, wash, and dip resistance in the water, and if your iPhone is water damaged, Apple will not let you claim any warranty.
