iPhone XS, XS Max
Visually, the iPhone XS is not much different from its predecessor, the iPhone X. The fundamental differences lie inside.
The new product is built on the basis of an advanced, high-performance 6 nuclear processor Apple A12 Bionic which uses technology machine learning and is manufactured using a 7nm process technology.
Let us remind you that the iPhone X ran on the previous generation A11 Bionic processor.
Essentially, it opens up new possibilities for creativity.
The latest technologies will make it possible to realize many ideas in the field of games, photography and augmented reality.
The body of the iPhone XS (as well as the iPhone XS Max) is built on the basis of high-strength reinforced glass, the frame of the frame is made of high-grade surgical steel.
Maintains dust and moisture protection in accordance with IEC 60529 standard.

Apple tested the smartphone in various liquids, including: tea, juices, beer, wine, salt water.
After which it declares that the phone is capable of being under water with a depth of up to two meters for half an hour without any consequences.
Unlike the iPhone X, which did not have a gold version, all 3 colors are now available: Gold, Silver, Space Gray.
As expected, the familiar Home button containing a fingerprint scanner is no longer there. Also, it was not present in the previous iPhone X model.
The advanced Face ID facial recognition technology is responsible for the security and unlocking of the device.
The fundamentals of its work are built on the principles of machine learning, which allows recognition with the highest accuracy even if the appearance of the owner of the device changes.
It should be noted that Face ID technology is used not only to unlock a smartphone, it is successfully used for authentication in various applications, and is used to protect personal data.
For example, password protection of files, notes and documents.
The followers continued the glorious tradition established by the iPhone 10, in which the principles of phone control were rethought; the Home button is no longer needed in the context of navigation.
International iPhone versions XS (iPhone XS Max) received long-awaited support for two SIM cards(Nano-SIM, eSIM)
The smartphone is equipped with a 5.8-inch Super Retina HD AMOLED display with a matrix resolution of 2436×1125 px and support for HDR and Dolby Vision technologies, which provides unsurpassed color reproduction, high picture clarity, and deep black color.
Dual 12 megapixel camera iPhone phone XS with ƒ/1.8 aperture opens a new era in mobile photography.
The main sensor has a larger physical size of matrix pixels, which are capable of capturing more light. At the same time, the noise level will noticeably decrease.All this will have a positive impact on filming in difficult conditions.
The second camera, with optical zoom, has an ƒ/2.4 aperture, allowing you to zoom in on distant objects and take shots that were previously unavailable in the world of mobile photography.
System artificial intelligence Neural Engine and Smart HDR technology allow, using new algorithms for processing signals coming from the camera’s photo sensor, to produce more detailed processing of light and dark areas of the frame, creating the “Bokeh” effect on a completely new level.
The new “Depth” function allows you to adjust the depth of field of the frame after shooting. The main camera, thanks to new characteristics that allow shooting in difficult conditions, shoots stunning quality videos in 4K format with a maximum frequency of 60 frames per second.
The front-facing, wide-angle 7-megapixel camera of the device with an ƒ/2.2 aperture and support for TrueDepth technology allows you to take selfies in portrait mode.
This means that the face will be in focus and the background will be blurred. As is the case with the main camera of the smartphone, support is declared new feature"Depth".
Video mode allows you to record videos in Full HD format at a maximum frame rate of 60 frames per second.
Responsible for the autonomy of the gadget accumulator battery with a capacity of 2659 mAh, which is less than its predecessor. Let us remind you that the iPhone X used a battery with a capacity of 2,716 mAh.
As befits a flagship device, the phone has the function wireless charging, which is now manufactured according to new technology with active use of copper.
This allows you to reduce power losses and shorten the charging time of your smartphone.

Do you know when the very first iPhone came out? This happened on January 9, 2007. In general, the iPhone owes its appearance to Steve Jobs, who came up with an amazing idea - to combine several devices into one. Thus a new device appeared, combining the functions of a telephone, a player and pocket computer. They called this miracle of technology – a smartphone.
I would like to point out right away that not everything went smoothly right away. Apple's first smartphone was, frankly speaking, far from perfect. The second attempt was also not successful; moreover, this attempt earned the title “Failure of the Year.” This was facilitated by a very unpresentable appearance, as well as its low functionality. But, as they say, trying is not torture. Steve Jobs did not despair and resumed work. Moreover, all developments were kept in the strictest confidence! It is said that the engineers who worked on the project were not allowed to discuss their work among themselves.
And yet, the first generation iPhone was released! As today, the smartphone had an aluminum back surface. Jobs brought his idea to life - he combined a telephone, a player and a PDA. But this iPhone had significant shortcomings, for example, it did not support 3G connection and MMS at all. Moreover, there were some inconsistencies with the name. It turns out that another company was going to call its product iPhone. Through the court, an agreement was reached, as a result of which the name iPhone became owned by Apple. Every year the popularity of the iPhone is growing, there are fewer and fewer flaws, and someday the company will release the perfect smartphone.
In the meantime, in June 2008, the next new product was released - the iPhone 3G. This device is already more advanced and devoid of many of the shortcomings of its progenitor. Him a new version software- iPhone OS 2.0.
The next model, the third, was announced in June 2009. The iPhone 3GS has 2 times more memory than its predecessor, improved data transfer speed, and also has a new version of the OS - iPhone OS 3.0, which made it possible to get rid of most of the flaws of previous generations.
New features have appeared, such as:
“cut”, “copy”, “paste”;
send MMS;
Spotlight search system;
Speak Notes;
possibility to download video and audio files, including TV shows, audiobooks, movies, directly to the iPhone;
the ability to search for the location of the device using the Find My iPhone service;
forwarding SMS messages.
The iPhone 4 was introduced in June 2010. What did the buyer get in this case? An updated operating system with its own name - “ Apple iOS", improved, powerful processor, called Apple A4, a screen with a resolution of 640 × 960 pixels, a 5 megapixel camera and a special camera for video communication of 0.3 megapixels. But along with these improvements there were also significant shortcomings. For example, some iPhone 4 users express complaints about some display defects, fragility of the case, Low quality signal reception. In fairness, we hasten to note that all these problems can be solved. For example, interruptions and interruptions in communication can be easily eliminated using a regular case. Videos have also appeared online that show the objective situation with the signal level: in order to achieve a drop in the signal level, you need to not just pick up the device, but squeeze it too hard.
At one of the conventions, the head of Apple, Steve Jobs, announced the release of a new version of Apple iOS 4.0.1, thanks to which they are going to solve the problem. To finally solve the problem, the developers propose to resort to the use of so-called “insulating bumpers”. Until September 30, they will be issued completely free of charge, and customers who have already purchased them will receive a refund. By the way, it wouldn’t be superfluous to say that the number of complaints about bad signal does not exceed 1%.
Fifth generation iPhones
And soon the next model came out - iPhone 5 and literally after it another new product - iPhone 5s. And then comparisons and all sorts of analyzes and testing of these two smartphones began. How does the “s” model differ from the previously released model, is it better or worse? Is it necessary to replace the old device with a new one? Let's decide this together and analyze the available information point by point.
The appearance of the devices is surprisingly similar, it is difficult to distinguish them - the design, weight, and size are identical. Display – Retina with the same resolution. The connectors, a pair of glass inserts, and the Home key are the same. However, this is where the similarities end and the differences begin. They, as you may have guessed, are located inside.
The content of the novelty is completely new to the world mobile devices. One of the most important innovations can be called the world's only A7 processor. It comes with an M7 coprocessor to improve performance. In light of the fact that the iPhone 5 runs on the A6 processor, it becomes clear that the performance of the new “s” has almost doubled.
The camera has also changed. The latest model is more advanced, almost unique. This includes 8 Megapixels, updated lenses, and a dual flash, not to mention improved stabilization and f/2.2 aperture. It’s impossible to list everything. Let's just say that professional photographers were surprised by the quality of the resulting images.
We especially note the completely new fingerprint sensor (Touch ID), which could not even be imagined in the 5th model. Why is it needed, you ask. It turns out that it can be used to recognize fingerprints, which protects the iPhone and makes it easier to unlock. The touch sensor is located in the Home key, which has also undergone changes - it remains without a central rectangle and is made of durable sapphire glass.
And finally, let's talk about the new headphones, which were designed specifically for the iPhone 5s. Their secret is that they literally merge with the shape of the ear and have no analogues in the quality of sound transmission.
Here is just a partial overview of the differences between the two fives. The differences, as you can see, are very significant, but only internal. Therefore, to the question - which iPhone is preferable - everyone will answer for themselves, based on their needs and financial capabilities.
iPhone sixth generation
Now let's move on to this year's new products - iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 plus, the presentation of which took place on September 9. Let's take a closer look at them.
The overall size of the device has increased significantly - we now have a 4.7-inch diagonal screen. Thanks to this solution, communicating on the Internet, watching videos or reading books has become much more convenient. At the same time, the thickness of the device has decreased – Apple’s new product is called the thinnest phone. The thickness of the iPhone 6 is 6.9 mm. By the way, iPhone 6 plus also has bigger screen– 5.5 inches, but many users still find it inconvenient.
The company again offers a simple color scheme - silver, gold and gray. I wonder what color the buyer will choose? But some changes in the design did appear. For example, this applies to the volume buttons - they have been enlarged, and their use has become much more convenient. The screen lock button has been moved to the right side. The screen has become rounded near the side edges, it has also become more contrasting and has amazing color rendition. This model uses A8 and M8 processors. And although the amount of RAM remained unchanged - 1 GB, it is still much faster than its predecessors. You can't help but pay attention to the improved camera. Of course, the number of pixels remained unchanged, but the quality of shooting has increased significantly.
In general, we can talk endlessly about the new iPhone. But it is better to see once than to hear a hundred times.
So, we have already answered the question – when did the first iPhone 6 come out? And who is the first buyer of iPhone 6? . Let's find out how this significant event went.
Due to the location of time zones, Australia became the country where the first iPhone 6 was sold. And right here a small embarrassment happened, which was immediately dubbed the “iPhone 6 crash test”; in other words, the happy owner of an iPhone 6 dropped it.
The first buyer of the iPhone 6, young Australian Jack Cooksey, took the device out of the package and at the same time tried to answer questions from journalists. The boy's hands were so sweaty from excitement that the phone jumped out of his hands straight onto the sidewalk. Fortunately, after the fall, the iPhone remained intact, and Jack became famous throughout the world as the person who first dropped the iPhone.
Today it is difficult to imagine the digital industry without Apple products. It has a number of advantages: versatility, compactness, excellent specifications, perfect quality. The most versatile among all Apple devices is the iPhone: in fact, it combines the functions of a phone, a tablet, and a player.
Digital industry giants, who have successfully controlled the global market for decades, are trying to compete with Apple in this product category. electronic products. Meanwhile, the story of Apple's rise is very short: iPhone production spans less than ten years.
At the beginning
The very first iPhone appeared in 2007: at the beginning of the year at the MacWorld exhibition, and in the summer – on sale. But the history of the famous Apple smartphone begins earlier. Back in 2002, Steve Jobs first voiced the idea of creating a new universal device, which would combine the functions of a communicator, a mini-computer and a player. The story goes that Jobs originally intended to create a keyboard-free mini-computer that would allow you to type directly on the screen (i.e., a tablet). But after getting acquainted with the functions of the future tablet, which the developers provided, Jobs changed his mind and decided that all this could be made into a smartphone.
The company spent the next few years working on the iPhone. The first version (Motorola ROKR) was unsuccessful. It was a phone with a player that synchronized with iTunes, with an interface similar to an iPod. The know-how had weak functionality and was not very good design, users did not appreciate it.
At first, the history of iPhones did not go very well. The company had problems with its trademark: the name iPhone, which it intended to use, was already owned by another company, Cisco Systems. After the premiere of the Apple iPhone in 2007, Cisco Systems sued Apple. As a result, the two companies agreed on sharing brand.
Before iOS
The 2007 iPhone combined all the main promised functions: a player, a telephone and a pocket PC. But he, too, was still far from perfect. The biggest disadvantage is low-speed Internet access (EDGE). There was no 3G back then. The second drawback was insufficient security, so corporate user not interested in the new Apple product.
A year later, the company released the iPhone 3G. In addition to 3G, Apple now offered users GPS and A-GPS (with Google maps). A new operating system (OS 2.0) was installed on the device, and the design was improved. The 3G model was released with two sizes of built-in memory, 8 and 16 GB. Over this year, the geography of sales of the new Apple device has expanded to seventy countries.
The next model, iPhone 3Gs, was announced as high-speed. Indeed, the main differences between 3Gs and its predecessor are power and speed: more strong processor, larger battery, 32 GB of memory. The device also had new functions: data encryption, digital compass, voice control.
The emergence of iOS
Story Apple smartphones entered a new stage with the advent of a new operating system iOS.
Fourth iPhone model did not contain G in the title, because fourth generation networks were not supported in it. The iPhone appeared in 2010, OS 4.0 was renamed iOS 4 at the time of its announcement. The model used an A4 processor, the camera was improved, a gyroscope appeared, and a video communication camera appeared. The disadvantages that users of the four complained about were the fragile body and poor signal reception. The latter problem has been completely resolved in the new version of the operating system, iOS 4.0.1.
Steve Jobs died on October 5, 11, the day after the presentation of the new iPhone model, 4s (“speed”: the prefix s in the names of Apple iPhones appears when the emphasis in the new model is on improving speed qualities compared to its predecessor). Jobs was not present at the presentation; Tim Cook announced the new product. The model was equipped with a dual-core A5 processor (clock frequency 1 GHz), the camera changed from 5-pixel to 8-pixel, and Siri function, GLONASS support. And new iOS version, fifth.
The history of Apple smartphones continued in the fall of 2012: the iPhone 5 (actually the sixth generation) appeared. A6 processor (1.3 GHz), iOS 6 firmware, RAM 1 GB (predecessor 512 MB), support for fourth generation LTE networks, Lightning dock connector. The screen has increased (4 inches versus the former 3.5).
Finally, last fall, the iPhone 5s and iOS 7 firmware appeared. A7 processor (64-bit architecture), M7 coprocessor, know-how: a fingerprint scanner built into the home button. The LTE range has been expanded, the camera capabilities have been expanded, and a multi-shot mode has appeared. 5s has the most elegant design among all Apple smartphones (and perhaps among all smartphones in general). Available in silver-white, silver-black, gold, miniature (weighs only 112 g). New opportunities for protecting personal data have appeared and holes for jailbreaking (hacking software restrictions) have supposedly disappeared. The latter is unreliable.
What is Apple today
Today, Apple smartphones, tablets and players are sold in almost eighty countries around the world. The iPhone has transformed from an affordable device into a device for wealthy people (already in 2011 the price for Russian market reached 30 thousand rubles). Apple iPhones are being counterfeited at every turn; counterfeits have become an independent industry.
Smartphones are imperfect (almost every model has flaws). Users often criticize Apple for being late in keeping up with current trends. However, each new model comes out improved compared to its predecessors.
Additional people also deserve a kind word Apple services: the company produces millions software applications for your devices. Most of them are either free or inexpensive. No other manufacturer currently has such a huge platform for downloading content.
Every year Apple presents new model iPhone, which is sure to have a couple interesting tricks. Next year marks the 10th anniversary of the start of sales of the first iPhone. So we decided to remember how it was until today.
And at the same time we want find out from you: Which of these iPhones was your first?
Go, Let's get nostalgic.
1. iPhone (2007)
The first iPhone was innovative in its own right. Restrained design, a minimum of elements on the body, a strict front panel.
Remember what smartphones looked like before the advent of the iPhone: protruding antennas, joysticks, a bunch of buttons under the screen (sometimes even above it), styluses, sliding qwerty keyboard and indecent thickness. Now look at the windows of any electronics store. Most of the devices are very similar to what Steve Jobs showed off on January 9, 2007.
The company showed what smartphones will look like Apple is next several years, and subsequently followed the laid down principle.
What was upsetting: Unfortunately, there are no drawbacks, the first generation iPhone did not receive a number of functions that competitors had (3G support, video recording, multitasking, etc.), the operating system was closed to the user, there were many Apple restrictions (you cannot transfer pictures and music to other users, limited support for data formats, downloading files only through iTunes).
The big problem was that the headphone jack was too deep, which did not allow the use of many 3.5 mm headsets.
2. iPhone 3G (2008)
The smartphone began to acquire functions, primarily due to the update of the mobile operating system. In iOS 2.0 we saw App Store. Since then, third-party developers have been able to earn money from us by releasing applications for the iPhone. Tim Cook reported on more than 2 million applications in the store.
And with the release of the iPhone 3G, we saw support for UMTS, HSDPA, A-GPS and different body colors (black and white).
What was upsetting: plastic case and its low wear resistance. In just a few months back panel It was covered in scratches, cracks appeared near the cable connector, and pieces even broke off during active use.
3. iPhone 3GS (2009)
In 2009, we first learned that Apple wasn't going to update the design every year. After that, in odd-numbered years, “eski” began to be released with last year’s design, but new hardware.
The model was remembered for the appearance of a camera with autofocus and the ability to shoot video. For the first time, the iPhone received a digital compass. Of the software innovations, multitasking and voice control (Voice Control) should be noted.
What was upsetting: old design.
4. iPhone 4 (2010)
With this model we learned about a high pixel density screen - Retina Display. After holding such a device in my hands for 5 minutes, I didn’t want to use previous generation screens. Until now, a pixel density of over 300 per inch is considered the standard. The technology began to be used not only in the iPhone, it appeared on Apple tablets and computers.
The device is also remembered for its front camera, LED flash and a gyroscope.
What was upsetting: antennagate was a big failure for Apple. With a certain grip, the iPhone 4 lost the network and this was widespread. Jobs and company had to apologize and hastily “invent” bumpers.
5. iPhone 4s (2011)
The main innovation latest smartphone, released under Jobs (the event was hosted by Tim Cook, and Steve died the day after the presentation), became the Siri voice assistant.
Then the feature seemed unsuitable for use. Later, Siri learned a number of commands, learned several poems and jokes, and even mastered the Russian language.
The iPhone itself was able to distribute the Internet via Wi-Fi, shoot Full-HD video, and broadcast images via AirPlay. The developers also combined GSM and CDMA models in one device.
What was upsetting: Lack of Russian language support in Siri.
6. iPhone 5 (2012)
In 2012, we learned that Apple could produce a device with a screen diagonal larger than 3.5 inches. The 30-pin connector is retired, replaced by Lightning, which is with us to this day.
With this model, many first learned about the nano-Sim format (remember how you cut your cards with scissors?) and the EarPods headset.
What was upsetting: strange paint on the back panel that quickly peeled off.
7. iPhone 5s (2013)
This device has a Touch ID fingerprint scanner. It's hard to imagine how much time these sensors save us every day. Instead of entering a long password, simply use your finger.
iPhone 5s was the first Apple smartphone to be released in gold.
We will not consider the iPhone 5c model. Apple went for an experiment that was never repeated; the device had no innovations, but was only a cheaper product a copy of the iPhone 5 in a colored plastic case.
What was upsetting: 64-bit processor and 32-bit applications, the App Store was not ready for the release of a model with a new processor. Until developers adapted programs and games, many 32-bit applications performed worse on the iPhone 5s than on the iPhone 5.
8. iPhone 6/6 Plus (2014)
In 2014, we saw the first “shovels” from Apple. Two years later we got used to this size of the smartphone, but then it was too much.
Thin body, powerful hardware, camera with Full HD shooting at 60 frames per second and optical stabilization (in the Plus model).
What was upsetting: We haven't forgotten Apple's advertising with the ideal screen size for a smartphone. And for the first time we saw iPhones being bent en masse.
9. iPhone 6s/6s Plus (2015)
Last year's new products include a pressure-sensitive screen with 3D Touch and software innovations associated with the use of this technology. There was also a new color “rose gold”.
What was upsetting: too little innovation and software features of dubious benefit (“live” photos, pop-up menus).
There was also a “tuned” iPhone 5S with a clever name "SE"(who forgot), but the model can hardly be called innovative. The device did not bring anything new to the line, although it became the most powerful 4-inch smartphone on the market.
10. iPhone 7/7 Plus (2016)
In that year iPhone I stopped being afraid of water, began to use battery power more wisely, and started producing stereo sound. A rather controversial decision was the abandonment of the 3.5 mm jack. Now headphones are only Bluetooth or Lightning.
And in the line there are as many as 5 body colors, this has not happened since the iPhone 5c.
What was upsetting: practically unchanged design and scratchy “black onyx”, which is impossible to buy.
Now try to remember how you reacted to the innovations of each model when it appeared. No one ran headlong for the iPhone just because it had 3G or LTE support, front camera or flashes, Siri or big screen. At the time these features appeared, many people thought they were unnecessary, but now we use them several times a day.
