ah hi everyone Aaron here for ZolloTech an iPhone has been out for almost 13
years at this point or at least 12 years and there have been a lot of design
changes over the years sometimes dramatically sometimes not so much
depending on the year but I thought we'd talk about what the design changes were
how they've changed over the years and then also which one is your favorite and
which one's my favorite so we'll start with the original iPhone since these
aren't in the past decade but the original iPhone had a nice aluminum feel
to it with plastic on the bottom for the antennas this was a phone that I used
for quite some time I really liked it but then we switched to the plastic
design with the 3G and the 3GS now some people I know really liked this design
but I thought it felt much cheaper than the original iPhone
despite its better features it did get better reception due to the plastic but
these were previous generation phones or previous decade phones when we're
talking about 2010 to 2020 and so with 2010 came the iPhone 4 it was leaked
quite a bit before it was released but the iPhone 4 is my personal favorite
design of all time now this varies of course based on when you started using
iPhone or some other people like the next version of phone more but the 4 and
4s were introduced in 2010 and 2011 and really up to the game as far as overall
feel design and construction of a phone at this point we have stainless steel
around the outside band we have glass front and back and we have a 3.5 inch
display it's still pretty small compared to today's phones but it held up well
and it felt very very durable we had the 30 pin adapter here in the
bottom and overall this was one of my favorite phones to use it just feels
very solid despite the many antenna issues it had when it first came out
now many people's favorite design is the iPhone 5 and 5s and this continues to be
the favorite of most people to this day when I run a poll on Twitter or places
like that where people say which phone design is their favorite it brought an
aluminum design with glass in the back on the top and bottom for the antennas
and then aluminum all the way around it's just one solid piece and then a 4
inch display that got a little bit bigger and this brought lightning as
well so this was the switch from the 30-pin
adapter of the iPods over to lightning which allowed for thinner phones but
also allowed for different designs and other things inside the phone and so
this was the favorite of many it was introduced in 2012 and for 2013 they
didn't do a whole lot other than up the processor speed and introduced touch ID
so that's why I included this one and along with 2012-2013 rather 5s and 5c
were introduced and a lot of people have fond memories of 5c this is sort of a
budget phone at the time it's not really cheap or it wasn't cheap but it was the
less expensive iPhone sort of like the iPhone XR
today it came in a bunch of colors and just has an all plastic outside frame
and then inside there's a little bit of aluminum for reinforcement but again
they had the same thing as the iPhone 5s - touch ID so it's a really nice phone a
lot of people really liked it then we moved on to something a little bit more
radical in 2014 a larger phone they also introduced a larger size similar to this
one I'll talk about that in a moment but this was an aluminum design curved edges
much like we see today and this also had touch ID but a much larger display so we
have all the same things that were introduced before but of a larger
display and this is when we had issues with the phone bending so a lot of
people were making videos about bending these I never had an issue this is the
original one I had never been or anything like that
now they also introduced a larger phone at the same time the six plus and this
is a 6s plus which just brought us a bigger display so we started with the
5.5 inch displays all the way to 6.5 it was really nice to have much larger
displays on phones so it gave us a bigger display and a bigger battery as
well no I did not have a 7 handy it was actually in use but the 7 all the 7 did
was take away the headphone jack so I didn't really want to include that
that's not a fond memory for me I still missed the headphone bent jack and then
they also made it so the home button doesn't press anymore so in between the
time of the 7 they introduced the iPhone se brought back this design with some
better specs as the 6s specs in it and it's just a better phone overall
compared to the 5s but then they perfect the original design from the six with
the eight and the eight gave us aluminum again but glass front and back and the
back glass allows us to wirelessly charge it so again we don't have that
home we don't have the headphone jack and we also have a home button that
doesn't move so we have some water protection and everything else so many
people consider the iPhone 8 and 8 plus to be the best overall design since the
six that kind of perfected everything and really made it just a perfection of
the home button designed phone also in the same year as the iPhone 8 and 8 plus
which was 2017 we saw the new design the iPhone X so we skipped the iPhone 9
some people think that will come this year but they skipped the iPhone 9 and
brought out the X with its new overall design and brought back the stainless
steel construction so I know a lot of people really love this phone and
consider it the best one they brought in two cameras but place them vertically
instead of horizontally and glass front and back with that design around the
edge and this just feels like a very premium device it also introduced the
notch and face ID so we've got a much bigger edge to edge display and a lot of
people really liked that then the following year or last year while two
years ago now 2018 we received a minor update to the iPhone X with the XS Max
a little bit larger size but also a X asked that's basically the same with a
little bit faster processor and also the XR this was the best seller and
still is to this day and a lot of people like this but it brought back a Lumina
Mon the outside edge and instead of having an OLED display it has an LCD
display so it's basically the same it's in between the size of the X and XS
max or the XS and it's really the perfect phone for most people apparently
based on its price and what it's selling like and then this year or last year now
Apple introduced the iPhone 11 11 Pro and 11 Pro max and really all that did
was bring in much larger batteries bring in a matte back change where the Apple
logo is placed and bring a triple camera setup so we have all of those things
with a speedier process sir and a little bit nicer display
that's a little bit brighter and more vibrant so that's all for these there's
a lot of small changes over the years little incremental changes some people
like a lot of the designs some people don't like them at all some people don't
like the notch the notches really never bothered me but some people really don't
like it but either way there is an iPhone for you over the years and I
would love to hear which one was your favorite and why like I said I liked the
4 4s and the 5 these are probably my favorite of all time and I would love to
see either one of these revived in the iPhone 12 but let me know which one is
your favorite in the comments below I'll also link a wallpaper for you in the
