@@danandlaundryI mean…it’s better when the narrator says more information about it. Though,I guess he can make another video like this removing the extra descriptions
Hi, guys. I'm Korean. Please excuse my beginner English. 14 years ago, I was a high school student. Back then, Korea was transitioning from feature phones to smartphones. One day, my classmate brought an iPhone 4 to school, and I still remember how shocked I was. It was the first time I had ever seen a 'smartphone,' and I was really amazed by its smooth touchscreen. The iPhone 4 was the pinnacle of smartphone design. It established the blueprint for smartphone design, and I believe later products are derivatives of the iPhone 4. It truly represents the essence of compact, practical, and elegant minimalism.
If the iPhone X was $1149 for 256gb model and the 16 Pro Max’s price is $1199 for 256gb, there hasn’t really been much of a price increase for 7 years.
One thing Apple has done is cut costs by getting rid of the power brick. Then getting rid of earbuds and stickers. Which all of this also shrinks the box, which means Apple can load the plane with more phones. So a price increase is coming.
@@ThatIceChampion it is over priced, but the S24 ultra has higher nits and ppi, actually does 120Hz no matter how fast you scroll, better camera and can record in 8K, more RAM so it won't be obsolete in a couple years once Apple says you need more for the AI, better speakers, WAY more features than the iPhone and Android is superior to iOS.
Now _this_ I like. I appreciate your narration on each model, along with their successes, drawbacks and competition, along with any noteworthy points. It makes this, by far, your most definitive History of iPhone. :)
Some of my personal observations - the OG iPhone was soo cool that whenever I took it out in public, people actually came up to me and asked about the phone - I queued for the first time for iPhone 3G which was soo in demand that it sold out like hot cakes - Siri was soo cool on 4S, everyone wanted her to open the pod bay doors. Sadly that was the last phone from Steve Job and many dedicated calling it iPhone 4 Steve (iPhone4S) - Apple Pay was soo cool that first time I used in Marks & Spencer, the store lady called her colleagues so they can watch as well - iPhone 6 was soo slim and light that it legit felt like a case, the very first time you held it! - iPhone X with it all screen design and awesome FaceID really felt like it was from the future
Looking back on all the 1st times we had and how much technology constantly changed for the better I really miss those times. New releases are no longer exciting because we know there’s only so much they can add. There are small exciting changes every now and then sure, but it’s never as it used to be back then.
He also doesn’t address how people are complaining about how the last 4 phones have been the same and how Apple shorten their box while discussing iPhone 12.
I think my all-time favorite is the 6 plus. I recently got it in a drawer and it still turns on hahaha. It's one of the best. And well, the 15pro is also in my top.
Mine was the 5s because of the way its back was, it seemed very different compared to the others and I have the same opinion as you about the 15, only I want to change the case to try to make it look new.
I have a near pristine iPhone 6s in my drawer too!!! It stopped working after I dropped it in the toilet so I just left it there for a couple years. About a years ago I tried to turn it on and it did! But it got locked bc of too many incorrect passwords.
Sticking with my iPhone 13 Mini until it dies, I might get the battery replaced this year. I love small phones, the original SE was my favorite before I got the Mini and this is now my favorite. RIP Mini’s you will be forever missed.
The purpose of an iPhone mini (12 and 13) was never to meet consumer demand for a smaller form-factor. Apple knew that market is small enough to be neglected (much like every other major smartphone maker), but they were smart enough to realize iPhone mini’s long term potential in up-selling bigger iPhones to their customers and get them to pay more for the long term. For the same price as an iPhone 11 ($700), you got an iPhone 12 mini. If you want the same form-factor as before, you had to fork out an additional $100 to upgrade for more or less same features. They took the operational hit that came with the mini, but received record profits thanks to everyone paying more for the same iPhone form-factor. Once their customers got used to paying $800 for the base iPhone, they killed off the mini. They used similar strategy to create an additional $100 gap between the two iPad Pros, and did it again last year for iPhone 15 Pro and Pro Max by making the “base” storage for Pro Max as 256gb. People say Apple is so longer innovative. I say they’re just as innovative as before, just that their priorities have changed. Lagging behind in the field of AI is just the start. Kinda like for other phonemakers back in 2007.
I love videos like this but sometimes they can be like 3 hours long and include a lot of opinions. this video is a great summary of the most important points. love it
Nice video Greg 👍. In the first years of the iPhone jailbreak was pretty big. I remember having the option to record video with sound before the option was available. I still have videos from that time. I also remember being able to drive to work with the phone on the passenger seat and me saying “play x” an it would open Spotify and start playing the music out of the cars speakers. I think this was around 2010. When the 4 or 4s came I was in line to buy it just pass midnight, an early premiere. I was the last one in line, customer 49. I paid about $100 and they would send me the contact and sim for a 6 month period. The first thing I did when I got home around 1am was to jailbreak the device so I could unlock it from the cellular network. After I inserted the SIM card from my other phone and I could use it on different network straight away. For some unknown reason I never received the contract so it costed me about $100 😀
4:56 speaking of Siri, I just learned the voice actress of Siri got paid no royalties from Apple and made nothing from the sale. Apple bought her voice from another company and she made nothing after becoming the most famous voice in the world. Great Job, Apple!
If Apple bought her voice from another company, then why would they pay her? Did she not get paid by the original company that bought it from her in the first place?
Pretty remarkable that the original iPhone was 3.5” and the Pro Max model is now nearly double at 6.9”. The iPhone 5 will always hold a special place in my heart… Unboxing mine in 2012 I was truly blown away that it was 20% lighter despite having a larger screen with an additional row of apps
My first iPhone was the 4S and then switched back to Android. Then in March 2019 I was issued a 7+ and was ripping on my coworker about his X the entire notch and the no home button. He kept saying how nice the lack of a home button was and you get used to the notch. Well in 2020 I upgraded to an XR and saw what he meant, meanwhile I had my trustee Android for personal uses. Fast Forward to 11/2021 and I learned my friends all switched from Android to iPhone and I had a S21+ at the time and we had a group chat so I used my XR for personal use and I really started to use iOS and fall in love with it. 12/2021 I finally traded in my less than a year old S21+ for an iPhone 13PM, and in early 2022 work gave me a 12. I love iPhone everything works, I can transfer between my work and personal phone, face it the 13PM camera beats the 12 and hot spotting iOS to iOS is easy. It’s now 9/30/2024, I have a 14PM and am eyeballing the 16P (non max) for when I can upgrade. I do not see myself switching back to Android. iPhone just works, and when I use my iPad on the go the hotspot is easy to use and iCloud syncs all my data without missing a beat.
What fun this video is! I do remember when the iPhone 10 came out with the $1,000 price tag, thinking, "Who would ever spend that much for a phone?" Four years later when the 14 Pro arrived with the new 48 Megapixel camera sensor, I bought it complete with Apple Care and 1TB of storage. It's cost with tax was over $1,800. And to beat it all, a week ago I acquired a 16 Pro Max. I just looked at the invoice, and out-the- door it came to $1,983.93. Hmmm, I who wouldn't even think of spending even a thousand dollars for a phone.
the first iPhone i’ve seen was the 4. one of my dad’s colleagues showed it to me during a party. for comparison, i was still using a nokia with a physical keyboard so i was amazed at it. a fully touch screen device that looked so sleek. the first iPhone i’ve owned was the 5s. that stuck with me until the X series of iPhones released. that’s when my uncle bought me a 6s+. good times.
I noticed it jumps from 12 to 14... Probably because 13 didn't have much change... And the buttons are on the wrong side at the end... Or the cameras are on the wrong side... Possibly to show the camera control button...
14:00 I am so sad the modern iPhones don’t have 3D Touch. In a sense, it seems like throw away color tv by thinking black and white does the work just fine.
The problem is that 3D touch isn't the most obvious thing, you discover it by: someone telling your straight on, knowing the specs, or you noticed it did something else when you pressed hard
One of the best UA-cams I’ve ever watched! And the best one about the history of the iPhone. Please update this in a year (every year?!) when the iPhone 17 comes out. Really so well done - great images and videos, you have a super presentation voice - factual without drowning us in details - very much appreciated and will be subscribing now. Thanks! (I’d forgotten that there was no iPhone 9 and that “X” is really the “10”!) Steve on Monday 9 December 2024
iPhone is stuck in time loop since 2019. But I appreciate their genius marketing and yapping skills to sell the same product for 4-5 years, and I salute for their bold move to sell without chargers.
People are underestimating the iPhone 16 and 16 Plus. Subtract the camera control button and it's actually a really nice phone. Especially now with decently sized battery packs for a change.
The iPhone X days were goated. I remember the leaks of people saying Touch ID may be on the bottom of the Apple logo because they had difficulty of making the Face ID tech. When it first came out also it was sick to see people open their phone by just looking at it.
@@lasteep iphone x base model was $999, which adjusted for inflation comes to $1278+. iphone 16 pro max is $1199 for base model. more storage for base model and 7 years of performance difference and yet it’s cheaper. It’s not exclusive to iphones, the same logic applies to samsung and other android companies.
@@TheMrJaggasingh12 No base models have lightning ports anymore, nor are they really bad, but it's a fair point for recent years past. I'd argue none of these things matter to "average Joe" very much, and to pros, well, they get the Pro and Pro Max, so perhaps a bit of moot point on a historical point that's now also a moot point.
I just loooove my iPhone 13 mini!!! I wish Apple would bring the mini back!!! With the new stacked battery, battery life should not be an issue anymore. Also, the pricing of the mini was bad and it was very unfortunate that Apple released the SE just shortly before the mini came out, otherwise I think it would have been more of a success! I‘m still dreaming of a mini Pro version! Would buy that in a nano second!!!
I Like both iPhone and android, but iPhone will have a special place in my heart. My first iPhone was a 5S my grammas old phone, I used it for music and games, then I got my first iPhone, a very crappy iPhone 7 (battery sucked preowned phones are trash lol.) then an 11, but I “lost said privilege” of having an iPhone and had to get a Samsung. S23. I havent had a Samsung since the S7, used an s9 for a few months for some reason then got an 11. I am currently commenting on an iPad 6th gen, (still allowed to have an iPad for some reason, probably because I bought it.) I still have my moms old 4S, the 5S, my 7, my iPhone 11, Samsung S7 & S9 (gramma uses it now.) I think I had an iPod at some point, but I was quite young and my memory has since disappeared, it was a blue iPod 5th gen.
12:48 upgrading from iPhone 5 to 6s Plus was perfect for my duties at a startup in San Francisco. Visual detail & compatibility w/ the GoogleDrive docs we used at the time, made it easy for me to add items in spreadsheet while on the go, get feedback on Asan and/or update inventory Also recently added capacity was a tapping-to-zoom in feature, which used to be limited to photo/image editing app, but this was universal over all txt & content on other apps. I got around some of the limitations with the camera, by simply selecting video, then filming a penal or serial number patch in an odd corner, & then screenshot the moment it was best captured in the footage of said video short. I still use this method to this very day -of videoing a pose & then getting the best shot which you can slowly advance the footage, give it try; it’s easy to edit the image afterwards for great justice!
I know it's a big ask but I'd love a version of this for the MacBook. I sat through all of this and was throughly entertained; it would be fascinating to see the same for Apple's evolution of other devices across the ages.
"Courage" (headphone jack removal on iPhone 7 context) and "Apple made it reluctantly" (USB-C implementation on iPhone 15 context) is the best and my favourite part of this video
Yeah but it kinda missed the point. (1) It doesn't credit Apple for bringing on the era of waterproof mobile phones. Remember when you destroyed that phone by dropping it in water? Those days are gone because we finally lost our wires and chains of slavery to wired headphones. A year or two later everyone copied Apple on this, yet to this day everyone looks back at JackGate as if it's a black mark on Apple's record. (2) Apple got so much flack for the change to Lightning Port that it calmed down the angry critics by committing to 10 years of Lightning. The result? Angry critics moaning about NOT switching to USB-C. Sometimes no matter what you do, someone will bitch and moan and turn it into an evil conspiracy about you. With that said, I'm glad we're finally almost in the age of USB-C. Here's looking at YOU, magic keyboard and magic trackpad.
@@Äpple-pie-5k Headphone jack allowing waterproofing is wrong, how did Samsung get IP68 resistance on the S7, S8, S9, and S10, which did have a headphone jack? Apple never committed to ten years of Lightning, they simply said "A modern connector for the next decade". There was no guarantee it would be around for a decade, just that it was far more future-proof than the 30-pin had become. They were almost too eager to put USB-C in the mac, and that completely changes the transition compared to the 30-pin, as people would have their mac cables already, whereas the iPhone was the first device to receive Lightning. So no, there was no reason they needed to keep Lightning for 11 years.
@@CMurdoch-n3t They worked harder at it but it's still a point of failure on the water resistance, and they gave up on it. Apple just has a different philosophy: sacrifice the inferior lesser used things to make the more frequently used better things, even better. Let's break it down for you. You got two kinds of listeners. Wired and wireless. 1. WIRED. It's worse in every way except lossless sound quality, but this requires a high quality EXTERNAL DAC separated from the electromagnetic noise in the environment inside a mobile computing device. So, give them a simple dongle high quality 24 bit DAC away from that noise, make it better than any internal DAC, and make it cheap. 1. WIRELESS. Most people prefer the convenience of wireless bluetooth and can barely hear the difference with lossy. Get rid of the headphone jack, internal DAC/AMP, free up space and battery suckers, and release a best in class wireless ecosystem through AirPods. EVERYONE classy is a winner. The sacrifice is the poor sheep who used wired listening while still wanting cheap inferior quality. And Apple was able to do it by catering to a higher level of clientele. Sacrifice the bad to improve the even better. And now you see how they have been a success story. They think different.
@@Äpple-pie-5k That wasn't what you were arguing before. Also, a wired connection does have the upside of reliability (No batteries or connection drops) and lower cost, which a number of people still value. At the end of the day, the point was Apple was very quick to remove the headphone jack, but slow to remove Lightning. Your argument of not wanting to repeat the flack from switching to Lightning kinda misses the fact that Lightning was proprietary, whereas USB-C is a widely used standard. And if Apple is so concerned about convenience and constantly making the internals better, why did they stick so long with a less-used, USB 2.0, proprietary plug (Lightning), than putting the same Thunderbolt 3 USB-C port they had in Macs and iPads (and is in so many other products) in the iPhone, back in the mid-late 2010s when they did on the ipads and macs?
@@CMurdoch-n3t It is indeed what I've always argued, and don't fluster up the takeaway. Dumb people criticizing Apple for the double genius magnum opus of brilliance in removing the headphone jack. What you are saying about the advantages of wired connections proves you have read, learned, and know nothing. Apple didn't get rid of wired connections. They got rid of the dumpster dung fire in audio quality known as the internalized DAC-to-AMP-to-headphone jack circuit. Go to any audiophile site to learn why headphone jacks in any kind of iDevice are a pile of burning dung. For $9 Apple provided a first class 24 bit external DAC for superlative wired audio quality. Giving wired listeners a tour de force that absolutely stomps the 💩 out of your cheap headphone jack. AT THE SAME TIME they innovated a superior solution for convenient wireless listening, taking it from the lower levels of crap to a level of quality that even audiophiles begrudgingly admit is quite acceptable. Perhaps you don't understand what that means, but prior to this courageous move, almost all audio listening from phones was scored as a 1 out of 10 on audiophile connoisseur scoring. Apple brought wired up to 8.5/10 for those with proper headphones, and wireless up to 7.5/10. In one fell swoop, revolutionizing wired AND wireless audio quality. Your arguments of yeah but what about cheapie stuff? Sir, there's an Android for that. Let's finish your education on audio quality before we proceed to your education on USB. Lesson for the quiz on Monday: Taking 1 out of 10 score in wired and wireless listening up to near audiophile quality in one bold move, while leaving the 1/10 experience to other manufacturers, was a move of bold genius and marketing brilliance. Ball's in your court.
The Camera Control button is, in my opinion, the worst new feature this year. It is terribly fiddly and awkward to use. It seems totally superfluous and unnecessary. And the biggest downside? It actually *slows* down your picture-taking task! It's much faster just to use the on-screen controls. This button was ill-conceived. Instead of *removing* buttons from the iPhone, Apple decided to *add* new buttons such as the Action button and the Camera Control button. Steve Jobs must be spinning in his grave like a lathe.
The iPhone 3G didn’t have 256MB of RAM. It used the exact same chip that was in the original iPhone. What differentiated the 3G from the original was the redesigned back, and 3G connectivity.
iPhone 5s was my all-time favourite iPhone. Maybe it was because it was my first iPhone after switching from androids, but it just felt so special. I upgraded to the 7 a few years later but didn't like the rounded design as much as the squared edges of the 5, always wished they would make a new one until they brought out the 12. Was so excited to see them go back to the boxy design, instantly bought the 12 Pro at release and now just got myself the 16 Pro since it was getting a little worn out. The actual upgrades are one thing, but the design is still what does it for me, since the 12 they remind me of the trusty and beautiful little 5s I fell in love with 10 years ago.
My first iPhone was the 3G and it was fantastic. I got the white because black was sold out. Then I had an insurance replacement unit a year later and it was black. So I had both colours. I moved overseas for a year and a half and came back to the UK, and the first thing I did was get the 4S. The 4S was a beautiful phone. Especially in black with the silver rails. I think it's possibly their best design. It was very elegant, even if tiny compared to today's device sizes
It’s funny how people were mad about Apple removing the headphone jack in 2016, meanwhile now, wired headphones don’t even exist…😂 Apple truly revolutionizes technology
I remember the complaints when the first iMac came out and it didn't have a floppy drive. It was the first with USB and connected directly for internet use. The selling points of later phones were the thinning of the phones. Thus they killed the 32 pin connector and then the earphone jack. The lightning connector predated the USB-C connector.
I hate wireless and charging anything. Better sound quality comes from being plugged in and wireless is very inconvenient when you can’t charge and waste time Head phone jack still has its place they just pushed it out being cheap Innovation isn’t about being better sometimes. Most of the time is about saving money and manipulating the market to follow that.
Wish they would put 3D Touch back in. I found it much faster and intuitive than long pressing the screen. The only reason I use the new button on the 16 Pro is because long pressing the buttons on the Lock Screen almost never works for me. Although the half press thing is too finicky for my liking.
It’s nice to be reminded what changes came when. You tend to forget things after 17 years. I’ve owned every model except the C, R SE and Mini. But we were forced by Verizon to skip the 14 when they changed their device payment programs to 36 months from 24 making us wait 18 months instead of 12 to upgrade when it was half paid off. By the time we were at 18 months the 15 had just came out and made no sense to get the 14 and I’m still pissed about it because I really wanted the purple Pro Max. It’s still going to happen but we’ve decided to pay off the remaining few months early so we can still upgrade every year! Thanks Verizon!
@@LucaEnzo People actually do that? Just open two apps every year then let them sit for a year just to open them again on the next new phone? I guess I don’t do much more though. 14 years ago I only created, opened and now run my entire small business that I grew to over $3.8mil in just over a year entirely on my iPhones. Well, maybe that is just a little more than just opening two apps a year.
A13 Bionic was not "faster than an Intel Core i7", and it also was. That's like saying the Samsung S20 is faster than an iPhone. You're right, if that iPhone is an iPhone 4S, but it's not faster than a 16 Pro. The i7 is a line of products, you can't just say its faster than i7, saying "it's faster than an i7-4790k" might be accurate, but just saying i7 would imply it's faster than an i7-12700k as well, which it simply isn't.
@@Adamtendo_player_1 again, way too vague a statement to be a valid claim lmao. an Intel i9-14900k would blow an M1 chip out of the water without breaking a sweat. It even outperforms an M3 Max in both single and multi core performance, so while yes, the M series chips are generally better than an average intel processor, to say they leave intel in the dust so generally is just inaccurate lmao. The only areas where an M series chip would outperform a top-of-the-line intel chip is in power efficiency and integrated graphics, the latter of which is kinda redundant if you have a GPU. Quick edit as I did unfairly leave out the M4 there, woops. The M4 does marginally outperform the i9-14900k in single core benchmarks, but is nowhere close to the performance of the i9-14900K in multicore tasks.
My first iPhone was the 4. After that I had a 4s, 6plus, iPhone X, and I’m currently still using the iPhone 12 Pro Max. I don’t believe I will buy another one though.
That's still a lame excuse to remove useful functionality! The type of drug dealer who can afford an iPhone (or sells to iPhone-owning clients) would certainly have enough money to buy a cheap postal scale, so I don't see how removing the iPhone's weighing feature will make a meaningful difference.
Nice work I recently got the 16 pro I have been using iPhones since the 6. The models I had after the 6 were the 7, XR, 11, and 13 prior to the 16 Pro I have it took my sister to convince me to switch to iOS from Android which I did.
The S series were not minor revisions. While they didn’t have a new form factor, the internal changes were as significant as any other year. The iPhone 4S, for example, introduced an 8 Mpx camera - the first one that could take real photos that didn’t look like crap.
I’m a former SE owner, and that was one robust phone. Slapped a case and a screen protector on it, and that thing was an absolute tank. Got a 12 as a replacement a few years later, which was a big step up. Then i got a 14. Oh boy, am i disappointed with that phone. Felt like a 12 with just a bigger number on it. As much as i dislike the phone, i’m still pissed at myself because i dropped it off a mezzanine, and absolutely destroyed it. Happened 2 days ago, and i’ve got a Samsung S24FE on order through my carrier. Should be here soon enough
My first iPhone was the iPhone 5s, then I upgraded to the iPhone 6s,8,xr,11,12 and now 13. Each one was an upgrade to the previous version and I’ve never gone back to android since I got my iPhone 5s. It’s harder to get for people outside of the US because of the price but if I could, I would upgrade to the 16 pro in a heart beat.
i remember the day my dad came home with an iphone 4, my mom , little sister and i were all in awe that my dad would spend "so much money" on one. we were so used to flip phones. simpler times
My last iphone is the Iphone 13 Pro Max.. its the last generation that has a Sim Card slot... it might not affect many people but i like sim slots.. its useful in many countries in the world...
I started off with a few basic phones from Verizon before switching to Straight Talk 10 years ago and I’ve had smartphones ever since with them being all iPhones which I started with an old 4 my dad no longer used. Afterwards I went to the 5S and I loved the fingerprint scanner on it, that felt so cool. I had a 6 which I got more memory on that one (32 GB which I upgraded from 16 GB) and for the past four years I’ve had a 128 GB iPhone 8 Plus. Now the memory is more than good enough and it’ll be the same amount I’m planning to get for future iPhones I get as well. I’m excited about getting the iPhone 15, huge upgrade from my 8 Plus and I know the experience is going to be very different.

Because they've been overcharging for 7 years.

Some of my personal observations - the OG iPhone was soo cool that whenever I took it out in public, people actually came up to me and asked about the phone
- I queued for the first time for iPhone 3G which was soo in demand that it sold out like hot cakes
- Siri was soo cool on 4S, everyone wanted her to open the pod bay doors. Sadly that was the last phone from Steve Job and many dedicated calling it iPhone 4 Steve (iPhone4S)
- Apple Pay was soo cool that first time I used in Marks & Spencer, the store lady called her colleagues so they can watch as well
- iPhone 6 was soo slim and light that it legit felt like a case, the very first time you held it!
- iPhone X with it all screen design and awesome FaceID really felt like it was from the future
Looking back on all the 1st times we had and how much technology constantly changed for the better I really miss those times. New releases are no longer exciting because we know there’s only so much they can add. There are small exciting changes every now and then sure, but it’s never as it used to be back then.
Agree with all of this

I think my all-time favorite is the 6 plus. I recently got it in a drawer and it still turns on hahaha. It's one of the best. And well, the 15pro is also in my top.
Mine was the 5s because of the way its back was, it seemed very different compared to the others and I have the same opinion as you about the 15, only I want to change the case to try to make it look new.
I am using the Vionentus Elites because they seemed different to the rest of the ones I saw and gave a new face to my iPhone
Thanks for the suggestion. When I have some free time I'll check them out.
I have a near pristine iPhone 6s in my drawer too!!! It stopped working after I dropped it in the toilet so I just left it there for a couple years.
About a years ago I tried to turn it on and it did! But it got locked bc of too many incorrect passwords.
6 plus was goated
Sticking with my iPhone 13 Mini until it dies, I might get the battery replaced this year. I love small phones, the original SE was my favorite before I got the Mini and this is now my favorite. RIP Mini’s you will be forever missed.
I miss the glory days of Apple innovation
The purpose of an iPhone mini (12 and 13) was never to meet consumer demand for a smaller form-factor. Apple knew that market is small enough to be neglected (much like every other major smartphone maker), but they were smart enough to realize iPhone mini’s long term potential in up-selling bigger iPhones to their customers and get them to pay more for the long term. For the same price as an iPhone 11 ($700), you got an iPhone 12 mini. If you want the same form-factor as before, you had to fork out an additional $100 to upgrade for more or less same features. They took the operational hit that came with the mini, but received record profits thanks to everyone paying more for the same iPhone form-factor. Once their customers got used to paying $800 for the base iPhone, they killed off the mini. They used similar strategy to create an additional $100 gap between the two iPad Pros, and did it again last year for iPhone 15 Pro and Pro Max by making the “base” storage for Pro Max as 256gb. People say Apple is so longer innovative. I say they’re just as innovative as before, just that their priorities have changed. Lagging behind in the field of AI is just the start. Kinda like for other phonemakers back in 2007.
Apple's most significant innovations lately have been in customer psychology manipulation and business strategy, not technological advancement.

I love videos like this but sometimes they can be like 3 hours long and include a lot of opinions. this video is a great summary of the most important points. love it
Nice video Greg 👍. In the first years of the iPhone jailbreak was pretty big. I remember having the option to record video with sound before the option was available. I still have videos from that time. I also remember being able to drive to work with the phone on the passenger seat and me saying “play x” an it would open Spotify and start playing the music out of the cars speakers. I think this was around 2010. When the 4 or 4s came I was in line to buy it just pass midnight, an early premiere. I was the last one in line, customer 49. I paid about $100 and they would send me the contact and sim for a 6 month period. The first thing I did when I got home around 1am was to jailbreak the device so I could unlock it from the cellular network. After I inserted the SIM card from my other phone and I could use it on different network straight away. For some unknown reason I never received the contract so it costed me about $100 😀
4:56 speaking of Siri, I just learned the voice actress of Siri got paid no royalties from Apple and made nothing from the sale. Apple bought her voice from another company and she made nothing after becoming the most famous voice in the world. Great Job, Apple!
If Apple bought her voice from another company, then why would they pay her? Did she not get paid by the original company that bought it from her in the first place?
It surprises me every time that your able to make new videos about Apple, there isn’t THAT many stuff 😭

I miss when new iPhone devices debut in June each year.
every year like clockwork, love ya AppleExplained.
My first iPhone was the 4S and then switched back to Android. Then in March 2019 I was issued a 7+ and was ripping on my coworker about his X the entire notch and the no home button. He kept saying how nice the lack of a home button was and you get used to the notch. Well in 2020 I upgraded to an XR and saw what he meant, meanwhile I had my trustee Android for personal uses. Fast Forward to 11/2021 and I learned my friends all switched from Android to iPhone and I had a S21+ at the time and we had a group chat so I used my XR for personal use and I really started to use iOS and fall in love with it. 12/2021 I finally traded in my less than a year old S21+ for an iPhone 13PM, and in early 2022 work gave me a 12. I love iPhone everything works, I can transfer between my work and personal phone, face it the 13PM camera beats the 12 and hot spotting iOS to iOS is easy.
It’s now 9/30/2024, I have a 14PM and am eyeballing the 16P (non max) for when I can upgrade. I do not see myself switching back to Android. iPhone just works, and when I use my iPad on the go the hotspot is easy to use and iCloud syncs all my data without missing a beat.
So basically you were pressured into using iphones to not feel left out trust me I believe that's most iphone users I was there in hs
What fun this video is! I do remember when the iPhone 10 came out with the $1,000 price tag, thinking, "Who would ever spend that much for a phone?" Four years later when the 14 Pro arrived with the new 48 Megapixel camera sensor, I bought it complete with Apple Care and 1TB of storage. It's cost with tax was over $1,800. And to beat it all, a week ago I acquired a 16 Pro Max. I just looked at the invoice, and out-the- door it came to $1,983.93. Hmmm, I who wouldn't even think of spending even a thousand dollars for a phone.
Well laid out and interesting as always. Would love a History of the Mac, with a breakdown of all the major milestones!
the first iPhone i’ve seen was the 4. one of my dad’s colleagues showed it to me during a party. for comparison, i was still using a nokia with a physical keyboard so i was amazed at it. a fully touch screen device that looked so sleek.
the first iPhone i’ve owned was the 5s. that stuck with me until the X series of iPhones released. that’s when my uncle bought me a 6s+. good times.
when the world needed him most he returned
I like how in the thumbnail the last 4 iPhones are literally the same
Nuh uh
I noticed it jumps from 12 to 14... Probably because 13 didn't have much change... And the buttons are on the wrong side at the end... Or the cameras are on the wrong side... Possibly to show the camera control button...
might aswell look at them that way.
Honestly I really liked this video. It made me remember how happy I was when I got my iPhone 4s.
14:00 I am so sad the modern iPhones don’t have 3D Touch. In a sense, it seems like throw away color tv by thinking black and white does the work just fine.
The problem is that 3D touch isn't the most obvious thing, you discover it by: someone telling your straight on, knowing the specs, or you noticed it did something else when you pressed hard
@@extraC344 right… the user interface should show how hard any given touch is pressing as a default with the “pro” option to turn off the indicator.
i miss 3d touch so much.
They should have kept it on the Pro models!

People are underestimating the iPhone 16 and 16 Plus. Subtract the camera control button and it's actually a really nice phone. Especially now with decently sized battery packs for a change.
14:55 Starting from here, it felt like I was watching a comedy show 😂👏
The iPhone X days were goated. I remember the leaks of people saying Touch ID may be on the bottom of the Apple logo because they had difficulty of making the Face ID tech. When it first came out also it was sick to see people open their phone by just looking at it.
hello apple explain. i hope you’re having a nice day
adjusted for inflation, prices haven’t increased since iphone x, maybe even since iphone 7 plus
Especially if you also consider actual performance, features, battery life, screen size, memory, and so on, you'd have to say they've decreased.
That's because people are getting the more expensive 256gb to 1tb versions. Base models are really bad, especially with lightning ports
They in fact did
@@lasteep iphone x base model was $999, which adjusted for inflation comes to $1278+. iphone 16 pro max is $1199 for base model. more storage for base model and 7 years of performance difference and yet it’s cheaper. It’s not exclusive to iphones, the same logic applies to samsung and other android companies.
@@TheMrJaggasingh12 No base models have lightning ports anymore, nor are they really bad, but it's a fair point for recent years past. I'd argue none of these things matter to "average Joe" very much, and to pros, well, they get the Pro and Pro Max, so perhaps a bit of moot point on a historical point that's now also a moot point.
Why there is no number of units sold information on the latests iphone models?

I just loooove my iPhone 13 mini!!!
I wish Apple would bring the mini back!!! With the new stacked battery, battery life should not be an issue anymore.
Also, the pricing of the mini was bad and it was very unfortunate that Apple released the SE just shortly before the mini came out, otherwise I think it would have been more of a success!
I‘m still dreaming of a mini Pro version! Would buy that in a nano second!!!

I Like both iPhone and android, but iPhone will have a special place in my heart. My first iPhone was a 5S my grammas old phone, I used it for music and games, then I got my first iPhone, a very crappy iPhone 7 (battery sucked preowned phones are trash lol.) then an 11, but I “lost said privilege” of having an iPhone and had to get a Samsung. S23. I havent had a Samsung since the S7, used an s9 for a few months for some reason then got an 11. I am currently commenting on an iPad 6th gen, (still allowed to have an iPad for some reason, probably because I bought it.) I still have my moms old 4S, the 5S, my 7, my iPhone 11, Samsung S7 & S9 (gramma uses it now.) I think I had an iPod at some point, but I was quite young and my memory has since disappeared, it was a blue iPod 5th gen.
Can you make more iOS 18 update videos please
18:38 What is authentification?
I remember having the galaxy 4 and thinking wanting the htc one because it was considered the best phone on the market
12:48 upgrading from iPhone 5 to 6s Plus was perfect for my duties at a startup in San Francisco.
Visual detail & compatibility w/ the GoogleDrive docs we used at the time, made it easy for me to add items in spreadsheet while on the go, get feedback on Asan and/or update inventory
Also recently added capacity was a tapping-to-zoom in feature, which used to be limited to photo/image editing app, but this was universal over all txt & content on other apps.
I got around some of the limitations with the camera, by simply selecting video, then filming a penal or serial number patch in an odd corner, & then screenshot the moment it was best captured in the footage of said video short.
I still use this method to this very day -of videoing a pose & then getting the best shot which you can slowly advance the footage, give it try; it’s easy to edit the image afterwards for great justice!
It’s so interesting to see that even a lot of changes and upgrades .. things like weather app have barely changed since its inception
I know it's a big ask but I'd love a version of this for the MacBook. I sat through all of this and was throughly entertained; it would be fascinating to see the same for Apple's evolution of other devices across the ages.
Why did you not show the graph of sales for the iphone 16 comparing it to the others ?? 14:09 ??
"Courage" (headphone jack removal on iPhone 7 context) and "Apple made it reluctantly" (USB-C implementation on iPhone 15 context)
is the best and my favourite part of this video
Yeah but it kinda missed the point. (1) It doesn't credit Apple for bringing on the era of waterproof mobile phones. Remember when you destroyed that phone by dropping it in water? Those days are gone because we finally lost our wires and chains of slavery to wired headphones. A year or two later everyone copied Apple on this, yet to this day everyone looks back at JackGate as if it's a black mark on Apple's record. (2) Apple got so much flack for the change to Lightning Port that it calmed down the angry critics by committing to 10 years of Lightning. The result? Angry critics moaning about NOT switching to USB-C. Sometimes no matter what you do, someone will bitch and moan and turn it into an evil conspiracy about you. With that said, I'm glad we're finally almost in the age of USB-C. Here's looking at YOU, magic keyboard and magic trackpad.
@@Äpple-pie-5k Headphone jack allowing waterproofing is wrong, how did Samsung get IP68 resistance on the S7, S8, S9, and S10, which did have a headphone jack? Apple never committed to ten years of Lightning, they simply said "A modern connector for the next decade". There was no guarantee it would be around for a decade, just that it was far more future-proof than the 30-pin had become. They were almost too eager to put USB-C in the mac, and that completely changes the transition compared to the 30-pin, as people would have their mac cables already, whereas the iPhone was the first device to receive Lightning. So no, there was no reason they needed to keep Lightning for 11 years.
@@CMurdoch-n3t They worked harder at it but it's still a point of failure on the water resistance, and they gave up on it.
Apple just has a different philosophy: sacrifice the inferior lesser used things to make the more frequently used better things, even better.
Let's break it down for you. You got two kinds of listeners. Wired and wireless.
1. WIRED. It's worse in every way except lossless sound quality, but this requires a high quality EXTERNAL DAC separated from the electromagnetic noise in the environment inside a mobile computing device. So, give them a simple dongle high quality 24 bit DAC away from that noise, make it better than any internal DAC, and make it cheap.
1. WIRELESS. Most people prefer the convenience of wireless bluetooth and can barely hear the difference with lossy. Get rid of the headphone jack, internal DAC/AMP, free up space and battery suckers, and release a best in class wireless ecosystem through AirPods.
EVERYONE classy is a winner. The sacrifice is the poor sheep who used wired listening while still wanting cheap inferior quality.
And Apple was able to do it by catering to a higher level of clientele. Sacrifice the bad to improve the even better. And now you see how they have been a success story. They think different.
@@Äpple-pie-5k That wasn't what you were arguing before. Also, a wired connection does have the upside of reliability (No batteries or connection drops) and lower cost, which a number of people still value. At the end of the day, the point was Apple was very quick to remove the headphone jack, but slow to remove Lightning. Your argument of not wanting to repeat the flack from switching to Lightning kinda misses the fact that Lightning was proprietary, whereas USB-C is a widely used standard. And if Apple is so concerned about convenience and constantly making the internals better, why did they stick so long with a less-used, USB 2.0, proprietary plug (Lightning), than putting the same Thunderbolt 3 USB-C port they had in Macs and iPads (and is in so many other products) in the iPhone, back in the mid-late 2010s when they did on the ipads and macs?
@@CMurdoch-n3t It is indeed what I've always argued, and don't fluster up the takeaway. Dumb people criticizing Apple for the double genius magnum opus of brilliance in removing the headphone jack.
What you are saying about the advantages of wired connections proves you have read, learned, and know nothing. Apple didn't get rid of wired connections. They got rid of the dumpster dung fire in audio quality known as the internalized DAC-to-AMP-to-headphone jack circuit. Go to any audiophile site to learn why headphone jacks in any kind of iDevice are a pile of burning dung. For $9 Apple provided a first class 24 bit external DAC for superlative wired audio quality. Giving wired listeners a tour de force that absolutely stomps the 💩 out of your cheap headphone jack.
AT THE SAME TIME they innovated a superior solution for convenient wireless listening, taking it from the lower levels of crap to a level of quality that even audiophiles begrudgingly admit is quite acceptable. Perhaps you don't understand what that means, but prior to this courageous move, almost all audio listening from phones was scored as a 1 out of 10 on audiophile connoisseur scoring. Apple brought wired up to 8.5/10 for those with proper headphones, and wireless up to 7.5/10. In one fell swoop, revolutionizing wired AND wireless audio quality.
Your arguments of yeah but what about cheapie stuff? Sir, there's an Android for that.
Let's finish your education on audio quality before we proceed to your education on USB. Lesson for the quiz on Monday:
Taking 1 out of 10 score in wired and wireless listening up to near audiophile quality in one bold move, while leaving the 1/10 experience to other manufacturers, was a move of bold genius and marketing brilliance. Ball's in your court.
This was a fabulous video. Thank you for making it and taking the time to do this!
This is much like a tradition it's nice to have a little refresher on the history of apple I really hope this series never ends! Great Vid as always.
The Camera Control button is, in my opinion, the worst new feature this year. It is terribly fiddly and awkward to use. It seems totally superfluous and unnecessary. And the biggest downside? It actually *slows* down your picture-taking task! It's much faster just to use the on-screen controls.
This button was ill-conceived. Instead of *removing* buttons from the iPhone, Apple decided to *add* new buttons such as the Action button and the Camera Control button. Steve Jobs must be spinning in his grave like a lathe.
Also, when you click the button, you shake your phone a little bit so that it slightly reduces the image quality
@@valtteri_its_james I got no problem with that on clicking on a volume button on my galaxy lol.
To be fair apple had to throw in some “new feature” or else it’d literally be the same phone as 15
I hope the remove that button asap
@TjaVideos how is that relevant ?
The iPhone 3G didn’t have 256MB of RAM. It used the exact same chip that was in the original iPhone. What differentiated the 3G from the original was the redesigned back, and 3G connectivity.

iPhone 5s was my all-time favourite iPhone. Maybe it was because it was my first iPhone after switching from androids, but it just felt so special. I upgraded to the 7 a few years later but didn't like the rounded design as much as the squared edges of the 5, always wished they would make a new one until they brought out the 12. Was so excited to see them go back to the boxy design, instantly bought the 12 Pro at release and now just got myself the 16 Pro since it was getting a little worn out. The actual upgrades are one thing, but the design is still what does it for me, since the 12 they remind me of the trusty and beautiful little 5s I fell in love with 10 years ago.
My first iPhone was the 3G and it was fantastic. I got the white because black was sold out. Then I had an insurance replacement unit a year later and it was black. So I had both colours.
I moved overseas for a year and a half and came back to the UK, and the first thing I did was get the 4S.
The 4S was a beautiful phone. Especially in black with the silver rails. I think it's possibly their best design. It was very elegant, even if tiny compared to today's device sizes
It’s funny how people were mad about Apple removing the headphone jack in 2016, meanwhile now, wired headphones don’t even exist…😂
Apple truly revolutionizes technology
They exist. And people who care about sound quality will buy wired headphones or headphones that use Bluetooth and cable.
nah, they've just become a bit more specialized
I remember the complaints when the first iMac came out and it didn't have a floppy drive. It was the first with USB and connected directly for internet use. The selling points of later phones were the thinning of the phones. Thus they killed the 32 pin connector and then the earphone jack. The lightning connector predated the USB-C connector.
I hate wireless and charging anything.
Better sound quality comes from being plugged in and wireless is very inconvenient when you can’t charge and waste time
Head phone jack still has its place they just pushed it out being cheap
Innovation isn’t about being better sometimes. Most of the time is about saving money and manipulating the market to follow that.

Wish they would put 3D Touch back in. I found it much faster and intuitive than long pressing the screen. The only reason I use the new button on the 16 Pro is because long pressing the buttons on the Lock Screen almost never works for me. Although the half press thing is too finicky for my liking.
Purely subscribing to hear Greg’s voice. It was a super informative video on the iPhone history though! 💖💖💖
25:50 what are these sizes????
It’s nice to be reminded what changes came when. You tend to forget things after 17 years. I’ve owned every model except the C, R SE and Mini. But we were forced by Verizon to skip the 14 when they changed their device payment programs to 36 months from 24 making us wait 18 months instead of 12 to upgrade when it was half paid off. By the time we were at 18 months the 15 had just came out and made no sense to get the 14 and I’m still pissed about it because I really wanted the purple Pro Max. It’s still going to happen but we’ve decided to pay off the remaining few months early so we can still upgrade every year! Thanks Verizon!
I never understand why people buy the new iphone every year just to open snapchat and insta
@@LucaEnzo People actually do that? Just open two apps every year then let them sit for a year just to open them again on the next new phone? I guess I don’t do much more though. 14 years ago I only created, opened and now run my entire small business that I grew to over $3.8mil in just over a year entirely on my iPhones. Well, maybe that is just a little more than just opening two apps a year.
A13 Bionic was not "faster than an Intel Core i7", and it also was. That's like saying the Samsung S20 is faster than an iPhone. You're right, if that iPhone is an iPhone 4S, but it's not faster than a 16 Pro. The i7 is a line of products, you can't just say its faster than i7, saying "it's faster than an i7-4790k" might be accurate, but just saying i7 would imply it's faster than an i7-12700k as well, which it simply isn't.
Apple M series chips leave Intel chips in the dust.
@@Adamtendo_player_1 again, way too vague a statement to be a valid claim lmao. an Intel i9-14900k would blow an M1 chip out of the water without breaking a sweat. It even outperforms an M3 Max in both single and multi core performance, so while yes, the M series chips are generally better than an average intel processor, to say they leave intel in the dust so generally is just inaccurate lmao. The only areas where an M series chip would outperform a top-of-the-line intel chip is in power efficiency and integrated graphics, the latter of which is kinda redundant if you have a GPU.
Quick edit as I did unfairly leave out the M4 there, woops. The M4 does marginally outperform the i9-14900k in single core benchmarks, but is nowhere close to the performance of the i9-14900K in multicore tasks.
My first iPhone was the 4. After that I had a 4s, 6plus, iPhone X, and I’m currently still using the iPhone 12 Pro Max. I don’t believe I will buy another one though.
13:02 HOW TF COULD YOU USE 3D TOUCH FOR ILLICIT PURPOSES
Drug dealing.
It could be used as a scale to weigh drugs
That's still a lame excuse to remove useful functionality! The type of drug dealer who can afford an iPhone (or sells to iPhone-owning clients) would certainly have enough money to buy a cheap postal scale, so I don't see how removing the iPhone's weighing feature will make a meaningful difference.

18:33 an app pops out on the left of the screen
why there is no low key background music like pervious videos
The S series were not minor revisions. While they didn’t have a new form factor, the internal changes were as significant as any other year. The iPhone 4S, for example, introduced an 8 Mpx camera - the first one that could take real photos that didn’t look like crap.
16:30 I didn’t miss cables to hear audio, I often tear those when trapped in something and had the phone pulled by those cables.
I’m a former SE owner, and that was one robust phone. Slapped a case and a screen protector on it, and that thing was an absolute tank. Got a 12 as a replacement a few years later, which was a big step up. Then i got a 14. Oh boy, am i disappointed with that phone. Felt like a 12 with just a bigger number on it. As much as i dislike the phone, i’m still pissed at myself because i dropped it off a mezzanine, and absolutely destroyed it. Happened 2 days ago, and i’ve got a Samsung S24FE on order through my carrier. Should be here soon enough

The quality of this video 🔥
Love these videos
i remember the day my dad came home with an iphone 4, my mom , little sister and i were all in awe that my dad would spend "so much money" on one. we were so used to flip phones. simpler times
My last iphone is the Iphone 13 Pro Max.. its the last generation that has a Sim Card slot... it might not affect many people but i like sim slots.. its useful in many countries in the world...
14's/15's/16's all still have physical SIM card slots bought outside the USA.
I started off with a few basic phones from Verizon before switching to Straight Talk 10 years ago and I’ve had smartphones ever since with them being all iPhones which I started with an old 4 my dad no longer used. Afterwards I went to the 5S and I loved the fingerprint scanner on it, that felt so cool. I had a 6 which I got more memory on that one (32 GB which I upgraded from 16 GB) and for the past four years I’ve had a 128 GB iPhone 8 Plus. Now the memory is more than good enough and it’ll be the same amount I’m planning to get for future iPhones I get as well.
I’m excited about getting the iPhone 15, huge upgrade from my 8 Plus and I know the experience is going to be very different.
FINALLY I love these videos
Thanks to this video I got my essay done
Nice video.
Unrelated question. Why did apple stop live demos when releasing the new iphones
