Apple iPhone
Apple iPhone is a line of smartphones designed and marketed by Apple Inc. It uses Apple's iOS mobile operating system.

History[edit | edit source]
The development of the iPhone began in 2004 when Apple started to gather a team of 1,000 employees to work on the highly confidential "Project Purple." Apple's first iPhone was a revolutionary product at the time of its release, combining a mobile phone, an iPod, and an Internet communicator.
Design[edit | edit source]
The design of the iPhone has changed significantly over the years. The original iPhone introduced a multi-touch screen interface and a minimal hardware interface, relying only on a few physical buttons and a large touchscreen. Over the years, the design has evolved to include larger screen sizes, the removal of the physical home button with the introduction of Face ID in the iPhone X, and improvements in water and dust resistance.
Software[edit | edit source]
The iPhone runs on Apple's iOS operating system. iOS provides a secure and intuitive interface for iPhone users and is regularly updated to introduce new features, security updates, and improvements. The App Store, launched in July 2008, allows users to download apps to extend the functionality of their iPhones.
Hardware[edit | edit source]
The hardware of the iPhone has also seen significant advancements, including the introduction of the custom-designed Apple A-series chips, which have significantly improved the performance and energy efficiency of the devices. The cameras on the iPhone have received substantial upgrades, making the iPhone a popular device for photography.
