The current lineup includes standard models, Plus/Max large-screen variants, the high-end Pro series, and the budget-friendly SE series that retains legacy compact design with updated internal hardware.

Core Design and Technical Evolution

The iPhone has experienced multiple key design shifts: from the initial 3.5-inch small screen with physical home buttons, to the full-screen notch design introduced with iPhone X, then the Dynamic Island interactive display on iPhone 14 Pro, and the universal USB-C interface starting with iPhone 15. Each generation has brought consistent upgrades to processors, camera systems, battery efficiency and software compatibility.

Industry Impact

The iterative updates of iPhone models have heavily influenced the global smartphone industry, popularizing technologies like high-resolution Retina displays, facial recognition, multi-camera photography systems and adaptive refresh rates. Apple's product segmentation strategy has also become a benchmark for other smartphone manufacturers to follow.

The iPhone is a line of smartphones developed by Apple that use the iOS operating system. 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.

As of 2026, the most recent iPhone models are the iPhone 17, iPhone Air, iPhone 17 Pro, and iPhone 17 Pro Max, released on September 19, 2025, and the entry-level iPhone 17e, released on March 11, 2026.
