The iPhone, developed by Apple Inc., is a line of smartphones that combine a mobile phone, digital camera, personal computer, and music player into one device. Introduced by then-CEO Steve Jobs on January 9, 2007, the iPhone revolutionized the mobile phone industry with its multi-touch interface and lack of physical keyboard. Over the years, Apple has released numerous models, each iteration bringing changes in hardware, software,performance and design.
The iPhone series has expanded to include various models catering to different user needs and preferences, from entry-level options to high end devices. Key innovations across the generations have included improvements in processing power, camera capabilities, display technology, and battery life, as well as the introduction of new features such as Face ID, Touch ID, augmented reality (AR), LiDAR, and 5G connectivity.
