The hardware of the iPhone has evolved over the years, with each new model introducing significant updates and improvements.

Processor[edit | edit source]

The iPhone uses Apple's custom-designed processors, starting with the Apple A4 in the iPhone 4. The latest models, as of 2021, use the Apple A14 Bionic chip.

Display[edit | edit source]

The iPhone's display has also seen significant improvements over the years. The original iPhone had a 3.5-inch display with a resolution of 320 x 480 pixels. The latest models feature larger displays with higher resolutions, such as the 6.7-inch Super Retina XDR display on the iPhone 12 Pro Max.

Camera[edit | edit source]

The iPhone's camera system has been a key selling point for the device. The original iPhone had a single 2-megapixel camera, while the latest models feature a more complex system with multiple lenses and sensors, capable of capturing high-quality photos and videos.

Battery[edit | edit source]

The iPhone's battery life has been a point of contention among users. While the battery life has improved with each new model, it is still a common complaint among users. The iPhone uses a built-in rechargeable lithium-ion battery.

Other Components[edit | edit source]

Other important hardware components of the iPhone include the Touch ID or Face ID for security, the Lightning connector for charging and data transfer, and various sensors such as the accelerometer, gyroscope, and proximity sensor.
