Steve Jobs, the mastermind, launched the iPhone years ago. He defined the device as a widescreen iPod with touch control, a unique mobile phone with digital communications. 

The iPhone has developed so much more than since it was initially introduced. It has elevated Apple to the position of being the largest company in the world in the terms of market and serves as status among people. 

The consistent advances Apple has made to keep the iPhone forefront of the competition helped it stand out. 

The iPhone is still in news today, even 15 years later. Let’s have a look at the evolution of the iPhone over time:  

The first iPhone launched was in 2007, which served as a model for later smartphones. 

Introducing the iconic icon grid, one home button, multitouch display and ditching a hardware keyboard, which was a regular feature in phones back then.

The App Store, the final piece of the puzzle was included in the launch of the 3G phone.

This provided programmers with the opportunity to create their own programmes, and the iPhone’s worth soared as practical apps and games populated its digital forms.

The first-ever ‘S’ model launched offered new upgrades. The company said that ‘S’ stands for speed, as it is twice quick as its predecessor.

Stainless steel and glass were added to the iPhone 4 (2010) in its first design, giving it a squarer shape with rounder corners. It was the first thinnest product to have a ‘Retina display,’ a front camera for video calling and launched on iOS.

The next iPhone came in a series of iPhone5, 5S and 5C.

The iPhone 5 with a bit larger screen, is still manageable with one hand, and it's aluminium chassis it making it a bit lighter with its durability. 

The iPhone 5S keeps the same design, but touch ID, Apple’s fingerprint scanner taking place of the home button. 

For the first time in 2013, Apple unveiled two phones on the same day.

Avoiding any major redesign, the iPhone 7 and 7 Plus improved by introducing better water and camera resistance.

By eliminating the OG, physical home button and putting an edge-to-edge OLED display on a brand-new stainless steel chassis, iPhone X 2017 model broke the visual template of every iPhone before it.

Apple this time for 11 launched an ultrawide camera allowing users to include more in a photo scene.

Compared to its previous one, iPhone 12 pro offers a few extra features like a telescopic camera, a matte glass finish on the back, and a stainless-steel frame.

iPhone 13, much similar to 12, could have been an S model as there were not many changes made. 

The 13 pro initially resembles 12 pros only the camera lenses are enlarged, hinting at the variety of camera changes in these models.
