The first iPhone was announced in 2007 by Steve Jobs and changed the mobile phone industry forever
Since then Apple has improved its iPhones in many ways
This is the evolution of the iPhone
Back in 2007 the Nokia 1200 was one of the most popular mobile phones
Apple completely changed the industry when it launched the iPhone
It was a touchscreen phone with a 3.5 inch display, which was huge compared to Nokia’s 1.5 inch display
The iPhone was more than just another standard mobile phone
It also had many applications, a camera and good performance for a phone at the time
But all of this came at a high starting price of 499 dollars
For this price you could almost buy 10 Nokia’s
Besides being cheap, the Nokia had one other benefit
It was almost indestructible
Next came the iPhone 3G in 2008
It could connect to 3G networks, which significantly improved the speed of mobile internet
GPS was also built in, and the app store became available
In 2009 the iPhone 3GS was launched
The phone had a better camera, was a lot faster with 256 mb RAM
Which was roughly twice the speed of the previous iPhones
And the 3GS had a 32 gigabyte storage option, but the starting price was 599 dollars
In 2010 came the iPhone 4
The iPhone 4 had a front camera, so people could use facetime and make selfies
This was also the first iPhone with a high resolution retina screen
The iPhone 4 had a better camera, was a lot faster and 50 dollars more expensive
Then came the iPhone 4S in 2011
The iPhone 4S had a better camera with 8 megapixels and an option for 64 gigabyte storage
And Siri also became available
Hey Siri, what is zero divided by zero?
Imagine that you have 0 cookies and you split them evenly among 0 friends
How many cookies does each person get?
See, it doesn’t make sense
And Cookie Monster is sad that there are no cookies
And you are sad that you have no friends
Wow, I just got roasted by Siri…
In 2012 came the iPhone 5 with a bigger 4 inch display
The new lightning connector made the iPhone 5 charge faster
It also had a better front camera and it was faster again
In 2013 came the iPhone 5C and 5S
The iPhone 5C is basically a more colorful and a 100 dollar cheaper iPhone 5
And the iPhone 5S has touch ID
Which uses a fingerprint scanner in the home button, so you can login just by putting your finger on the home button
The iPhone 6 was released in 2014
The display got bigger and retina became HD
It had a storage option for 128 gigabytes
The iPhone 6 Plus was released at the same time
It was a larger version of the iPhone 6 and was 100 dollars more expensive
In 2015 came the iPhone 6S and 6S Plus
3D touch was introduced, the front and back cameras were improved and the speed increased even further
The iPhone SE, released in 2016, was basically a smaller and cheaper iPhone 6S
In the same year the iPhone 7 was released
The headphone jack was removed
Now you had to use a lightning cable headphone jack or use the wireless AirPods that were released at the same time
The iPhone 7 was water resistant, the front camera was improved and a 256 gigabyte storage became optional
At the same time the iPhone 7 Plus was released
The iPhone didn’t have one, but two cameras at the back
These dual cameras considerably improve the quality of photos and videos when zooming in
The iPhone 7 Plus was also faster
It was sold for 769 dollars
The iPhone 8 came in 2017
It had wireless charging
With the glass cover over on the back of the iPhone you can charge your phone on a wireless pad
Other than that the phone is almost the same as the iPhone 7, except for the price which went up by 50 dollars
At the same time the iPhone 8 Plus was released
The iPhone 8 Plus is a bigger version of the iPhone 8 with a dual camera at the back and costing 100 dollars more
The iPhone X was also released in 2017
The home button was removed to enable a larger display on a smaller phone
Face ID was added, this way you can unlock your phone using facial recognition
The iPhone X came at a very high starting price of 999 dollars
Making it the most expensive iPhone at the time
In 2018 the iPhone XR was released
It has a slightly bigger display
It was sold for 749 dollars
At the same time the iPhone XS was released
The iPhone XS is faster than the XR, has a storage option of 512 gigabytes and a starting price of 999 dollars
The iPhone XS Max has a slightly bigger screen and comes at 1099 dollars
The most recent iPhones are the 11, 11 Pro and the 11 Pro Max in 2019
The iPhone 11 offers a night mode for better images at low-light conditions and has a wide camera feature
The front camera was improved to 12 megapixels
The iPhone 11 Pro has as many as 3 cameras at the back
It is also faster and comes at 999 dollars
The iPhone 11 Pro Max has a larger display and is sold for 1099 dollars
Just when I was ready to upload this video, a new iPhone was announced
The second generation iPhone SE
It looks like a iPhone 8, with the speed of the iPhone 11
However, the price is 399 dollars, which is very cheap for an iPhone
Over the years Apple has made many iPhones
From the first iPhone in 2007 all the way to the second generation iPhone SE in 2020
And who knows what the iPhone will look like in the future
When we extrapolate existing trends of larger displays, adding cameras and price increases
The iPhone to be released in 2050 will have a 15.5 inch display with 10 cameras and cost around 2499 dollars
Of course joking, but I’m very curious to see what the future will hold
