iPHONE News
The history of the iPhone line of phones begins with a direction from Steve Jobsto Apple Inc.'s engineers, whereby he asked them to investigate touchscreens and a tablet computer, which later came to fruition with the iPad.[1][2][3][4] Also, many have noted the device's similarities to Apple's previous touch-screen portable device, the Newton MessagePad.[5][6][7][8] Like the Newton, the iPhone is nearly all screen. Its form factor is credited to Apple's head of design, Jonathan Ive.[3][9]
In April 2003 at the "All Things Digital" executive conference, Jobs expressed his belief that tablet PCs and traditional PDAs were not good choices as high-demand markets for Apple to enter, despite many requests made to him that Apple create another PDA. He did believe that cell phones were going to become important devices for portable information access, and that what mobile phones needed to have was excellent synchronization software. At the time, instead of focusing on a follow-up to their Newton PDA, Jobs had Apple put its energies into the iPod, and the iTunes software (which can be used to synchronize content with iPod devices), released January 2001.[10][11][12][13] On September 7, 2005, Apple and Motorola released the ROKR E1, the first mobile phone to use iTunes. Jobs was unhappy with the ROKR, feeling that having to compromise with a non-Apple designer (Motorola) prevented Apple from designing the phone they wanted to make.[14] In September 2006, Apple discontinued support for the ROKR and released a version of iTunes that included references to an as-yet unknown mobile phone that could display pictures and video.[15] Ed Zander (Motorola CEO at the time) “inspired” Steve Jobs with Moto's multimedia (e.g., iTune) + smartphone product concept. In result, Apple gained new product concept which was named "iPhone" while Motorola ironically walked away with limited version of iTunes app for Rokr/Slvr.
On January 9, 2007 Steve Jobs announced the iPhone at the Macworld convention, receiving substantial media attention,[16] and that it would be released later that year. On June 29, 2007 the first iPhone was released.
On June 11, 2007 announced at the Apple's Worldwide Developers Conference that the iPhone would support third-partyapplications using the Safari engine on the device. Third parties would create the Web 2.0 applications and users would access them via the internet.[17] Such applications appeared even before the release of the iPhone; the first being "OneTrip", a program meant to keep track of the user's shopping list.[18] On June 29, 2007, Apple released version 7.3 of iTunes to coincide with the release of the iPhone.[19] This release contains support for iPhone service activation and syncing.

List of Versions
This is a list and comparison of devices designed and marketed by Apple Inc. that run a Unix-like operating system named iOS, often colloquially referred to simply as iDevices.[1][2] The devices include the iPhone multimedia smartphone, the iPod Touch handheld PC which, in design, is similar to the iPhone but has no cellular radio and other cell phone hardware, and the iPad tablet computer. All three devices function as digital audio and portable media players and Internet clients. The Apple TV, which ran iOS from the second generation of hardware onwards, is aset-top box for streaming media from local sources and from certain internet services to a connected television set, and has no screen of its own.
The operating system on iOS devices can be updated through iTunes, or, on iOS 5 or later, using firmware-over-the-air (OTA) updates. A major version of iOS tends to be released every time a new type of iPhone is launched, (about once a year) and is free, although iPod Touch users were formerly required to pay for the update. Apple upgrades its products' hardware periodically (approximately yearly).

iPHONE
iPhone (/ˈaɪfoʊn/ eye-fohn) is a line of smartphones designed and marketed by Apple Inc. They run Apple's iOS mobile operating system.[13] The first generation iPhone was released on June 29, 2007; the most recent iPhone models are the iPhone 6s and iPhone 6s Plus, which were unveiled at a special event on September 9, 2015.[14]
The user interface is built around the device's multi-touch screen, including avirtual keyboard. The iPhone has Wi-Fi and can connect to cellular networks. An iPhone can shoot video (though this was not a standard feature until theiPhone 3GS), take photos, play music, send and receive email, browse the web, send texts, GPS navigation, record notes, do mathematical calculations, and receive visual voicemail.[15] Other functions—video games, reference works, social networking, etc.—can be enabled by downloadingapplication programs (‘apps’); as of October 2013, the App Store offered more than one million apps by Apple and third parties[16] and is ranked as the world's second largest mobile software distribution network of its kind (by number of currently available applications).[17][better source needed]
There are nine generations of iPhone models, each accompanied by one of the nine major releases of iOS. The original 1st-generation iPhone was aGSM phone and established design precedents, such as a button placement that has persisted throughout all releases and a screen size maintained for the next four iterations. The iPhone 3G added 3G cellular network capabilities and A-GPS location. The iPhone 3GS added a faster processorand a higher-resolution camera that could record video at 480p. The iPhone 4 featured a higher-resolution 960×640 "Retina Display", a VGA front-facing camera for video calling and other apps, and a 5-megapixel rear-facing camera with 720p video capture.[18] The iPhone 4S upgrades to an 8-megapixel camera with 1080p video recording, a dual-core A5 processor, and a natural language voice control system called Siri.[19] iPhone 5 features the dual-core A6 processor, increases the size of the Retina display to 4 inches, introduces LTE support and replaces the 30-pin connector with an all-digital Lightning connector. The iPhone 5C features the same A6 chip as the iPhone 5, along with a new backside-illuminated FaceTime camera and a new casing made of polycarbonate. The iPhone 5S features the dual-core64-bit A7 processor, an updated camera with a larger aperture and dual-LED flash, and the Touch ID fingerprint scanner, integrated into the home button, and fitness tracking facilities. The iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus further increased screen size, measuring at 4.7 inches and 5.5 inches, respectively. In addition, they also feature a new A8 chip and M8 motion coprocessor. As of 2013, the iPhone 3GS had the longest production run, 1,181 days; followed by the iPhone 4, produced for 1,174 days.[20]
The resounding sales of the iPhone, at the time, have been credited with reshaping the smartphone industry and helping make Apple one of the world's most valuable publicly traded companies by 2011.[21] Almost all modern smartphones have replicated the iPhone design of a slate format with a touchscreen interface.
In late 2014, JP Morgan estimated "iPhone percentage of the worldwide smartphone install base has been around 15% since late 2012"[22] being far behind the dominant Android-based smartphones. In a few mature market countries such as Japan, the iPhone has a majority, an exception to Android's dominance,[23] and Australia where Android is rapidly approaching parity. In March 2014, sales of the iPhone brand had reached 500 million devices.[24] In the last quarter of 2014, there were 74.5 million iPhones sold, a record, compared to 51.0 million in the last quarter of 2013.[25] Tim Cook revealed at the Apple Watch conference on March 9, 2015, that Apple had sold a total of 700 million iPhones to date.[1]

Gorilla Glass
Gorilla Glass is a brand of specialized toughened glass developed and manufactured by Corning, now in its fourth generation,[1] designed to be thin, light and damage-resistant. This type of glass is not unique to Corning; similar glasses include Asahi Glass Co. Dragontrail and Schott AG Xensation.[2][3]
The alkali-aluminosilicate sheet glass is used primarily as cover glass for portable electronic devices, including mobile phones, portable media players, portable computer displays, and some television screens.[4] It is manufactured inHarrodsburg, Kentucky, USA, in Asan, Korea,[5] and in Taiwan.
The glass gains its surface strength, ability to contain flaws, and crack-resistance by being immersed in a hot potassium salt ion-exchange bath.

iPHONE 3Gs
The iPhone 3GS (originally styled iPhone 3G S [8]) is a smartphone that was designed and marketed by Apple Inc. It is the third generation iPhone, successor to the iPhone 3G. It was introduced on June 8, 2009, at the WWDC 2009 which took place at the Moscone Center, San Francisco.
This iPhone is named "3GS" where "S" stood for Speed (Phil Schiller had mentioned it in the launch keynote[9]). Improvements include performance, a 3-megapixel camera with higher resolution and video ability, voice control,[10]and support for 7.2 Mbit/s HSDPA downloading (but remains limited to384 kbps uploading as Apple had not implemented the HSUPA protocol).[11] It was released in the U.S., Canada and six European countries on June 19, 2009,[4] in Australia and Japan on June 26, and internationally in July and August 2009.
The iPhone 3GS runs Apple's iOS operating system. It is controlled mostly by a user's fingertips on a multi-touch display. It was succeeded as Apple's flagship smartphone in 2010 by the iPhone 4; however, the 3GS continued in production until September 2012 when the iPhone 5 was announced

IOS Jailbreaking
Jailbreaking is the process of removing hardware restrictions imposed by iOS, Apple's operating system, on devices running it through the use of software exploits; such devices include the iPhone, iPod touch, iPad, and second-generation Apple TV. Jailbreaking permits root access to the iOS file system and manager, allowing the download of additional applications, extensions, and themes that are unavailable through the official Apple App Store.
Jailbreaking is a form of privilege escalation,[1][2] and the term has been used to describe privilege escalation on devices by other manufacturers as well.[3][4] The name refers to breaking the device out of its "jail",[5] which is a technical term used inUnix-style systems, for example in the term "FreeBSD jail". A jailbroken iPhone, iPod touch, or iPad running iOS can still use the App Store, iTunes, and other normal functions, such as making telephone calls.
Restoring a device with iTunes removes the jailbreak.

iPHONE 5c
The iPhone 5C (marketed with a stylized lowercase 'c' as iPhone 5c) was a smartphone designed and marketed by Apple Inc. The device was part of the iPhone series and was unveiled on September 10, 2013,[2][3] and released on September 20, 2013,[4][5] along with its higher-end counterpart, the iPhone 5S.
The iPhone 5C uses much of the same internal hardware of its predecessor, the iPhone 5. However, the iPhone 5C uses a hard-coated polycarbonate casing (instead of aluminum used by the iPhone 5), along with a standard black glass front (instead of a white glass front offered on silver and gold iPhone models). The iPhone 5C lacks some of the features from the iPhone 5S; it uses the A6 chip instead of the A7 with motion co-processor, does not include Touch ID, does not support OpenGL ES 3.0, and lacked the Burst iSight camera mode and slow-motion video recording mode. Similar to the fifth generation iPod Touch models, the iPhone 5C was available in five colors: blue, green, pink, yellow, and white. It was also the first Apple device to ship with iOS 7, which introduced a revamped visual appearance and other new features.
On September 9, 2014, the 16 and 32GB iPhone 5C models were discontinued with the announcement of the iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus, and the 16 and 32GB models were replaced by the 8GB model. On September 9, 2015, the 8GB version was discontinued upon the announcement of the iPhone 6S and iPhone 6S Plus.
