iPhone"An iPod, a phone, and an internet communicator" — three devices in one.
iPhone 3GThe model that turned the iPhone into a platform: the App Store opened the same week, 3G made the mobile web usable, and GPS put maps in your pocket.
iPhone 3GSThe iPhone hits its stride: double the speed, finally video recording and copy-paste, and a maturing App Store.
iPhone 4The iPhone’s most celebrated redesign — a flat glass-and-steel slab with a screen so sharp Apple coined "Retina." It also gave us "Antennagate," but the look defined Apple for years.
iPhone 4SUnveiled the day before Steve Jobs died, the 4S brought Siri, a much better 8 MP camera and dual-core speed in the familiar glass body.
iPhone 5Taller, lighter and aluminium-backed, the iPhone 5 retired the 30-pin dock for the reversible Lightning plug — annoying at first, indispensable for a decade.
iPhone 5CEssentially an iPhone 5 in cheerful plastic.
iPhone 5SA quiet landmark: the A7 made it the first 64-bit smartphone, catching rivals flat-footed, and Touch ID made fingerprint unlock effortless and normal.
iPhone 6Apple chased the big-screen trend with the 4.7" iPhone 6 (and 5.5" Plus) and was rewarded with the best-selling iPhones in history.
iPhone 6 PlusApple’s first true phablet: a 1080p 5.5" screen, OIS for steadier photos, and a landscape Home-screen layout borrowed from the iPad.
iPhone 6sA "tick" upgrade with real teeth: 2 GB of RAM, a faster A9, a 12 MP camera and the short-lived 3D Touch that let you press for shortcuts.
iPhone 6s PlusThe fully-loaded 6s: bigger 1080p screen, OIS, 3D Touch and 2 GB of RAM — the top iPhone of 2015.
iPhone 7"Courage." Apple removed the 3.5 mm jack, added water resistance and a pressure-sensitive non-moving Home button, and bumped the base to 32 GB.
iPhone 7 PlusThe dual-lens 7 Plus introduced optical zoom and the depth-blurred Portrait mode that reshaped phone photography.
iPhone SE (1st generation)A gift to small-phone fans: the guts of the 6s in the pocketable 5s shell, at the lowest iPhone price in years.
iPhone 8The classic Home-button design’s swan song: glass back for wireless charging, the powerful A11 Bionic, and a base storage bump to 64 GB.
iPhone 8 PlusThe last big Home-button iPhone, with wireless charging and a dual camera gaining studio-style Portrait Lighting.
iPhone XTen years in, Apple tore up its template: an all-screen OLED front (notch and all), Face ID instead of Touch ID, and gestures instead of a Home button.
iPhone XRThe "affordable" all-screen iPhone — an LCD instead of OLED and a single camera, but the same fast A12 — and it outsold every other 2018 iPhone.
iPhone XSThe iPhone X refined: the leading-edge 7 nm A12, dual cameras with Smart HDR, and a new gold finish.
iPhone XS MaxThe first "Max" — a 6.5" OLED giant that pushed the iPhone toward (and past) the four-figure price line.
iPhone 11Apple dropped the flagship price and added a second ultra-wide lens and excellent Night mode — and it became the world’s best-selling phone.
iPhone 11 ProThe "Pro" branding arrives with a matte glass back, a triple camera and a brighter XDR OLED — the template for every flagship since.
iPhone 11 Pro MaxThe biggest, longest-lasting iPhone of 2019: triple cameras, XDR OLED and famously strong battery life.
iPhone 12The iPhone went 5G and got its sharp, flat-edged frame back, with a ring of MagSafe magnets on the rear for snap-on accessories.
iPhone 12 miniA full flagship — 5G, A14, dual cameras, OLED — shrunk into one hand.
iPhone 12 ProThe Pro added a LiDAR scanner for instant low-light focus and AR depth, plus a shiny stainless frame and ProRAW photography.
iPhone 12 Pro MaxThe photography flagship: a bigger main sensor with sensor-shift stabilisation and a longer telephoto, in the largest 12-series body.
iPhone SE (2nd generation)The bargain of 2020: top-tier A13 performance, Touch ID and a great single camera in the familiar Home-button shell.
iPhone 13A polished refinement: a smaller notch, bigger battery, sensor-shift stabilisation trickled down, and 128 GB as standard.
iPhone 13 miniThe last small iPhone, with a smaller notch, better battery and the speedy A15 — a fond farewell to compact flagships.
iPhone 13 ProThe Pro finally got the buttery 120 Hz ProMotion display, plus macro photos and a brighter screen — and a new 1 TB storage tier.
iPhone 13 Pro MaxThe big Pro: 120 Hz ProMotion, the full Pro camera system, and class-leading battery life in a hefty package.
iPhone 14A cautious update that reused the A15 but added life-saving tricks: it can detect a car crash and text emergency services via satellite when off-grid.
iPhone 14 PlusThe "mini" replaced by its opposite: a big 6.7" screen and huge battery without the Pro price — for people who want size, not telephoto.
iPhone 14 ProThe notch became the playful "Dynamic Island," the screen learned to stay always-on, and the main camera jumped to 48 megapixels.
iPhone 14 Pro MaxThe flagship of flagships: Dynamic Island, 48 MP camera, always-on display and a screen bright enough to read in direct sun.
iPhone SE (3rd generation)The last Home-button iPhone: flagship A15 speed and 5G in the old iPhone 8 body, for the lowest current-iPhone price.
iPhone 15The mainstream iPhone finally got the Dynamic Island, a 48 MP camera and — thanks to EU law — USB-C, ending the Lightning era for the base model.
iPhone 15 PlusThe large, long-lasting standard iPhone — Dynamic Island, 48 MP camera and USB-C — for buyers who want size over telephoto zoom.
iPhone 15 ProApple swapped steel for lighter titanium, replaced Lightning with USB-C, turned the mute switch into a customisable Action Button, and brought console-grade ray tracing to a phone.
iPhone 15 Pro MaxThe titanium flagship added a folded "tetraprism" lens for true 5× optical zoom — the biggest camera leap of the 15 line.
iPhone 16Designed around Apple Intelligence, the 16 added a pressure-sensitive Camera Control button and bumped RAM to 8 GB to run on-device AI.
iPhone 16 PlusThe big standard iPhone with Camera Control, Apple Intelligence and an enormous battery, in fresh ultramarine and teal finishes.
iPhone 16 ProThe Pro grew slightly to 6.3", gained the Camera Control button and could shoot 4K at 120 fps — a serious video tool in titanium.
iPhone 16 Pro MaxThe biggest iPhone yet at 6.9", with the full Pro camera array including 5× zoom, Camera Control and 4K/120 video.
iPhone 16eThe 16e replaced the old SE idea with a full-screen, USB-C iPhone built around A18 and Apple Intelligence at a lower price.
iPhone 17iPhone 17 continues the mainstream line with the newest A-series chip, USB-C and Apple Intelligence as a default expectation.
iPhone 17 ProThe iPhone 17 Pro carries Apple’s pro camera, display and chip story into the current generation, aimed at creators who want the smaller Pro size.
iPhone 17 Pro MaxThe 17 Pro Max is the big-screen flagship tier, pairing Apple’s strongest iPhone camera system with the largest display and battery in the Pro line.
iPhone AiriPhone Air brings the Air idea to Apple’s phone lineup: a thinner, lighter model between the standard and Pro families.
iPhone 17eThe 17e keeps the lower-cost full-screen iPhone tier current, carrying forward the “e” family after iPhone 16e.Browse by year
