Location history and privacy, find your location history on your iphone or ipad, how to disable location history on iphone or ipad, find your google location history, how to disable google maps history, key takeaways.

• On an iPhone or iPad, go to Settings > Privacy > Location Services > System Services > Significant Locations to view your location history.
• Disable location tracking on your Apple device by going to Settings > Privacy & Security > Location Services > System Services > Significant Locations and toggle off.
• Other apps, like Google Maps, may track your location using your phone's GPS. You can disable tracking on a per-app basis in Settings > Privacy & Security > Locations Services, then tap on the app.

If you've ever wondered where you were last week, you can use your iPhone or iPad to view your location history. And if you use Google Maps, you can find very detailed information about your whereabouts.

All major tech companies and apps have some form of location tracking feature. Everyone from Apple, Google, Facebook, to Twitter does it. Each company uses the data in different ways.

Apple, for example, only collects a pool of significant locations that you have visited in the past and claims it doesn't share this data with anyone. Google, on the other hand, keeps a detailed track of all your activity, especially if you use Google Maps .

If you open Google Maps' Timeline view, you'll be able to see exactly where you traveled on a given day — even if you didn't use Google Maps for navigation — thanks to background location tracking .

Both these services opt you in by default, but you can disable location tracking if needed.

First, let's talk about finding the location history on your iPhone or iPad. Open the Settings app and tap on "Privacy and Security"

From here, select "Location Services."

Scroll down on this screen and tap on "System Services."

From the next screen, select "Significant Locations" and enter your PIN.

Here you'll see both "Recent Records" and a "Summary" section, both of which contain information about your previous locations.

We kept this off on our iPhone, but if you have it enabled, you will have historical location information here.

When you tap on a location collection from the Signification Locations window, it will show you a visual breakdown on the next screen. You'll see the map of all locations at the top of the display.

Select one of the visits to see a detailed view of the area you visited. The detailed view will also show the time of your visit and the mode of transport along with the date. If you wish to clear the history, you can scroll down and tap on "Clear History."

If you want to stop location tracking on your iPhone or iPad, you need to open the Settings app, then navigate Privacy & Security > Location Services > System Services > Significant Locations, then tap the toggle at the top.

If you want to disable your location tracking and clear your history, just go down to the bottom and tap "Clear History" once you've disabled Significant Locations.

Apple stores a limited amount of location history data and doesn't let you browse through the data in a timeline view. Google, on the other hand, has a detailed Timeline view that lets you browse through the roads you traveled through and the places you visited on a given day.

If you use the Google Maps app on your iPhone or iPad for navigation, you can use Google Maps' Timeline feature to access your location history.

If you want, you can also disable the Location History feature from your Google account settings (we've outlined the steps below).

The Google Maps Timeline page can be accessed on the web on your iPhone, iPad, or computer. For the best viewing experience, try to use a laptop or a desktop computer. You'll see the map of the world with some places highlighted. Here, you can pan around and click on a location to see the available data points.

In the top-left corner, you'll see the timeline interface. From here, you can pick any date to see the detailed breakdown of your travel data. On the right, you'll see the route you took in the map view.

On the left, you'll see the timeline view with details of the places you visited, the time of the visit, and how long you stayed at a location. If you use Google Photos , you'll also see all your images from your trip here.

If you don't want Google to collect and store this data (it helps to improve Google's suggestions and search results in Maps), you can disable the Location History feature altogether. You can do this in two ways: by disabling location data on your iPhone or iPad, or by disabling location history entirely for your Google account.

Google Maps' ability to track your location with your iPhone depends on your privacy settings. You can choose to allow Google to track your location only when you're using the app or to always track your location in the background. You can change this setting on your iPhone or iPad by going to Settings > Privacy & Security > Location Services > Google Maps.

Alternatively, you can shut it off using the Google Maps Timeline page in any browser. You'll see a location history section in the bottom row. It will say "Location History Is On." Click on the "Manage Location History" button in the same section.

Click "Turn Off" on the next page, then select "Turn Off" in the dropdown menu that appears.

While this stops the Google Maps app on your devices from tracking your location, some Google apps will still store time-stamped location data . You can disable this activity by turning off Web & App Activity in settings.

Now that you know how to look up location history on your iPhone and iPad, remember to bring it up next time you're wondering where you went and what you did on your last vacation. While Apple might not have precise data, rest assured, Google Maps will.

How Location Services Work

• Frequently Asked Questions

What to Know

• On the iPhone, turn location services on, or the phone won't track your location.
• View Google Maps history: In the app, tap your profile image > Your data in Maps > See & delete activity .
• To view iOS history: Settings > Privacy > Location Services > System Services > Significant Locations .

This article explains how to view your location history using data collected by the Google Maps app or data from your iPhone's location services. iPhone instructions cover iOS 12 and later.

Activate Location Services for Google Maps

Before Google Maps can track your location, Location Service has to be enabled on the iPhone. The Google Maps app doesn't have to be launched on the iPhone to track your location, but it can't work without location services being turned on and activated for Google Maps.

On the iPhone, tap Settings .

Tap Privacy , then turn on Location Services .

Scroll down and select Google Maps , then tap Always .

You don't have to keep the Google Maps app open. Just keep your iPhone with you. It will start tracking, and you can view your Google Location History.

After turning on Location Services, here's how to view your tracking history in the Google Maps app:

Open Google Maps and tap your profile photo .

Tap Your data in Maps . In the Google-wide controls section, select See & delete activity .

A map opens for the most recent location history, showing your travel route and local landmarks or stops. The map is zoomable, so you can enlarge it for details. Use the menu directly under the map to switch to other dates. The details of the history also appear under the map.

You may delete history from the timeline or delete your entire history from the database.

You can also view your Google Maps history on a desktop or laptop computer by going to www.google.com/maps/timeline .

Apple iOS & iPhone Location History How-To

Apple also collects location data if you allow it to, but it provides less historical data and less detail. However, you can see some history. Here's how you set it up on your iPhone:

Tap Settings .

Scroll down and tap Privacy > Location Services .

Scroll to the bottom of the Location Services screen and tap System Services .

Tap Significant Locations (called Frequent Locations in some versions of iOS). You can turn this feature off with the toggle switch at the top of the Significant Locations screen.

Scroll to the bottom of the screen to find your location history with location names and dates. You can now see everything that Apple sees.

Apple stores a limited number of locations and doesn't provide precise travel tracks and timelines like Google. It provides a place, a date, and an approximate position circle on a non-interactive (you can't pinch-to-zoom it) map. If you don't want Apple to track you, toggle off Significant Locations in your iPhone's Settings app.

Not many people know that the location awareness of their portable devices and software extends to tracking and recording their location history, as well. In the case of Google, if you opt-in, your location history consists of a detailed and searchable data file with a visible trail, organized by date and time. Apple provides less information but keeps, and displays at your request, a record of your recently visited places, without the detailed trail feature that Google offers.

Both Google and Apple provide these history files with assurances about privacy, and you can opt-out or, in the case of Google, erase your location history.

These are valuable services that help you as long as you have opted into them. In some situations, location history could play an important role in legal or rescue situations.

Your carrier will always have a general idea of where you are to ensure phone calls come to you. For everything else, you must turn off Location Services. On Android: Swipe down from the top of the screen > tap the location icon (looks like an upward-facing teardrop with a dot in it) > Location Services > change Improve Location Accuracy to on or off . For iOS: Open the Settings app > Privacy & Security > Location Services > Location Services has a main switch, or you can swipe to see which apps have access to your location (and you can turn them on or off as you see fit).

No, but if you had previously tracked them with their permission via Find My... then it should show you the last location. Open Find My > People (lower left corner). Their last location will be available.

The WIRED Guide to the iPhone

It's not just the best-selling gadget ever created: It's probably the most influential one too. Since Steve Jobs announced the iPhone in 2007, Apple has sold close to 1.5 billion of them, creating giant businesses for app developers and accessory makers, and reimagining the way we live. Millions of people use an iPhone as their only computer. And their only camera, GPS device, music player, communicator, trip planner, sex finder, and payment tool. It put the world in our pockets.

Before the iPhone, smartphones mostly copied the BlackBerry. After the iPhone, they all copied Apple: Most phones now have big screens, beautiful designs, and ever-improving cameras. They even have "notches," or, cut-outs at the top of their edge-to-edge displays, where the phone’s front-facing camera lives.

And the iPhone Effect goes far beyond smartphones. In order to make so many phones, Apple and its competitors set up huge, whirling supply chains all over the world. Those same manufacturers now make the same parts to power drones, smart-home gadgets, wearables, and self-driving cars. They don't look like your phone, but they might not be here without it.

Thanks to the iPhone and the apps developed for it, the world has reorganized itself around the smartphone, and a few people have started to wonder what the iPhone hath wrought. They worry that we spend too much time buried in our phones, heads down, ignoring the people and the world around us.

Social media, in particular, is being questioned. We always always knew that there was an exchange, that if we were using free apps, we were giving up something in return; but now there are concerns about where exactly all that data ends up . We’re becoming accustomed to a sense of undefinable stress, the feeling like there's always too much going on and you can never get away even if you want to. The smartphone is one of the portals into this sometimes-dystopian data vortex.

But at the same time, there’s no denying that the iPhone has utterly transformed our lives—and that anything truly transformational will both solve existing problems and introduce new ones.

Jobs announced the iPhone on January 9, 2007, on stage at the Macworld conference. He spent nearly an hour explaining the device, extolling the virtues of everything from a touch interface to a huge, desktop-sized version of The New York Times' website that you could pan around. He even made a phone call (how quaint!) and placed what has to be the largest Starbucks order in history to an apparently real barista at an apparently real Starbucks. The whole event stands as a remarkable piece of tech-industry history, and you can still watch it all (on your phone) on YouTube.

The phone didn't come out until six months after that initial reveal, during which time Apple frantically scrambled to turn Jobs' demo into a mass-market gadget . When it finally hit stores in June, people lined up outside stores to buy one. Apple sold 270,000 iPhones the first weekend it was available, hit 1 million by Labor Day, and instantly captured the imagination of phone owners everywhere.

The iPhone 3G, which came out a year later, may have been an even bigger deal. Apple's 2008 iPhone included support for 3G networks, which offered much faster access to email and web pages, and it came at a much lower price. Most important, it added the App Store, which gave developers a way to build and sell software to millions of smartphone owners. The App Store will almost certainly stand as Apple's most important contribution to both the tech industry and society in general, even more than the phone itself. Developers immediately began building apps and games that changed the way we communicate, work, eat, and play. The App Store made way for Instagram, Uber, and Tinder, and it turned the iPhone into the pocket computer it was always meant to be.

From there, the iPhone's story is one of evolution, not revolution . Each year, Apple made the phone bigger and faster, refining the product without changing the basic form factor or its most beloved features. It became more popular every time. From the beginning, Apple seemed to know the camera could be a smartphone's best feature: The iPhone 4 , with its selfie camera and HD video recording, was the biggest thing in cameras since Kodak. Ever since, Apple's cameras have been among the best in their class.

Jobs always said Apple had a five-year lead with the first iPhone. That turned out to be conservative—it took six or seven years for Samsung and others to make truly competitive phones like the Galaxy S and the HTC One. Then, after successfully copying the iPhone, they found their own niches. Samsung bet on pen input and big screens; Google fine-tuned Android and starting shipping its own hardware running optimized versions of the software; and other companies made great phones for a fraction of the iPhone's price. The iPhone was the only best choice for so long, but others finally caught up.

In 2017, the 10th anniversary of that Macworld speech, Apple determined it was time to shake things up a bit with the iPhone. It released the iPhone 8 and 8 Plus, solid but unsurprising updates on the same theme that was already established. But it also tried something different, with the launch of the the iPhone X.

Apple ditched the home button in order to make the phone nearly all screen and bet on facial recognition as the key to both your phone and a whole new set of apps and features. (Again: cameras are everything.) It also tried to bring augmented reality into mainstream existence while making your phone and data more secure than ever. And, as a bonus, the iPhone X had the craziest emoji features anyone had ever seen up to that point. The company’s approach was radical, but also, extremely Apple: It was attempting to usher its customers into a new technological world, but it would do it while emphasizing privacy, security, and features that keep you completely locked into Apple.

Despite its high price tag and speculation that the iPhone X’s later ship date would impact sales, it sold respectably well. In the spring of 2018, Apple CEO Tim Cook said the X was the company's most popular device sold every week since its launch in November 2017. But the iPhone X was short-lived as far as smartphones go, because Apple pushed it to the background as soon as the iPhone XS was announced in September 2018.

The current crop of iPhones are, for the most part, iterations. The iPhone XS is the natural successor to the iPhone X. The iPhone XS Max has almost the same footprint as the iPhone 8 Plus, but is equipped with an edge-to-edge display (and, like the other newer iPhones, has no home button or headphone jack).

The new iPhone XR, which shipped a bit later this fall, is Apple’s attempt to appease customers who aren’t happy that the iPhone’s price keeps creeping upwards. The XR’s display technology isn’t as great, and its camera isn’t quite as fancy, but it also costs a couple hundred dollars less than the starting price of the iPhone XS.

Perhaps most notably, all three new iPhone models this year shipped with a new Apple-made mobile processor that’s pushing the boundaries of what mobile processors can be (and do). The A12 Bionic was the first chip available for the mass market with an ultra-efficient 7-nanometer design, and it’s the kind of technology that turns real-time machine learning processes and insanely sophisticated computer vision applications from a concept into reality, right on your pocket computer.

It’s part of a larger attempt by Apple—and the others who have been working on these kinds of mobile chips—to make smartphones smarter. The glass slabs, they’re all starting to look alike. It’s what’s inside them that will set them apart over the next decade.

Apple's in a funny spot right now. Thanks to the huge, insane, impossible success of the iPhone—which accounts for more than half of the company’s revenue—Apple is quite often considered the most valuable company in the world (although Amazon and Microsoft have been vying for this position as well). Of course, it's not like Apple's in any danger as long as it's sitting on hundreds of billions in cash reserves.

But there are plenty of questions about the long-term value of the iPhone, especially since Apple’s annual unit sales of the phone were effectively the same this year as they were last year. Apple has even said that it no longer plans to break out hardware sales by product category, since it’s not representative of the strength of the business. That may be true, but some have interpreted this as Apple trying to cloak what eventually may be a real softness in sales.

All of this just means that if Apple is going to stay on top, it needs to extract more value out of existing iPhone lovers—a strategy it has been aggressively pursuing. It has always billed the Apple Watch as something of a spiritual successor to the iPhone: It's even more accessible, even more personalized, and could take over some of your smartphone's basic functionality. Plus, it’s now a legitimate health tracker .

Same goes for AirPods , which are clearly destined to be more than just a pair of wireless ear dongles that come in a dental-floss case. A follow-up is rumored to be in the works for 2019.

Meanwhile Apple is hell-bent on replacing your laptop with an iPad, sticking an Apple TV under your flatscreen, and making sure you're all-in on Siri and iCloud. It finally released an update to the MacBook Air this year, and while no single component in the new laptop was groundbreaking, it’s something that was almost certainly designed to keep Apple laptop lovers happy. And, Apple is reportedly working on software for self-driving cars and has said repeatedly that augmented reality is the next big thing; perhaps some type of heads-up display is in the works.

As it develops new products, Apple is also looking at ways to help users reset their relationship with their gadgets. It made the iPhone ridiculously enticing; now, it’s actually rolling out software tools so that people can better manage the time spent on their phones and maybe not wind up so addicted. The Screen Time dashboard in iOS isn’t a panacea, but it’s a start.

Whatever the next thing might be, Apple appears uniquely qualified to take advantage. Over the past decade, to keep the iPhone ahead of the curve, Apple has invested billions in building its own chips. Its mastery of its supply chain is unrivaled—it's simply able to build more and better things than anyone else.

Apple's smashing success proved to other big tech companies that the best products come when you make both the hardware and the software. Microsoft, Google, Facebook, and Amazon have all done the same in recent years, building huge gadget businesses on top of their software. The hardware space was once a teeming mass of startups, people raising money on Kickstarter or going to China to build their dreams into a product. Now the business runs mostly through five companies, all of whom learned how to make hardware by watching Apple.

The iPhone didn't just make Apple a metric crap-ton of money: it reoriented the entire tech landscape, helping change the way we work and play. It helped create a new class of mega-corporation, started the world thinking about how everything else might change when it, too, was connected to the internet. Next, Apple has to figure out how the iPhone can improve a user's life instead of consuming it, all while it works on the next crazy design that'll change everything all over again.

Reviewing the First iPhone in a Hype Typhoon WIRED's own Steven Levy was one of just four journalists to review the original iPhone ahead of its launch. For the device's 10th anniversary, he looked back at how important the device was, considered how outrageously excited people were to get one—and remembered all the phone calls from Steve Jobs, wondering how the review was going.

Inside Apple's 6-Month Race to Make the First iPhone a Reality When Steve Jobs announced the iPhone in January of 2007, he wasn't exactly honest about the state of the thing. The phone Jobs demoed on stage barely worked, and there weren't many others to speak of. For the next 24 weeks, three days, and three hours, Jobs and his team worked desperately to turn the iPhone into a real product for real people. This is the story of that crazy time.

1 Million Workers. 90 Million iPhones. 17 Suicides. Who’s to Blame? The iPhone didn't just change the lives of its users. It helped reshape the entire world's manufacturing process, and not always in good ways. In 2011, we sent a reporter to China to meet the people who make your iPhones, and find out how Apple's phone changed their lives, too.

The Hot New Hip-Hop Producer Who Does Everything on His iPhone Steve Lacy made a track on Kendrick Lamar's album, "DAMN," and he did it all on his iPhone. We hung out with Lacy in a weed-clouded studio in Los Angeles, and watched him work in the same way as an entire generation of smartphone-owners: not with knobs and buttons, but with a touchscreen.

Review: Apple iPhone XS and XS Max Our review of the latest model, the iPhone XS and XS Max. They're not the most exciting iPhones ever made, but they're definitely the best ones. If you look carefully, you can even see glimpses of the future.

Review: the iPhone XR When it was announced in September 2018, the iPhone XR was the device that drew the most attention. Sure, the XS was the new shiny hotness, but at $999, maybe it was a little too precious. The XR on the other hand is a device that looks and works like a modern iPhone, but costs $250 less than the top model. So of course people were intrigued. It lacks some of the marquee features of the XS, but it's still a damn great phone for the price.

iOS 17.2: What You Should Know About Apple's Journal App

Apple's iPhone writing tool was released alongside iOS 17.2.

• Apple software beta tester, "Helps make our computers and phones work!" - Zach's grandparents

When Apple unveiled iOS 17 at its WWDC event in June , the Journal app drew a lot of attention. While Apple didn't release the app with iOS 17 in September or with the iPhone 15 series , the tech giant did release the app on Dec. 11 with iOS 17.2 .

Journaling has been linked with many mental health benefits, including helping manage  anxiety , reducing stress and coping with depression . Some people might have a difficult time remembering to journal or figuring out what to write. Apple's Journal app makes it easy to jot down a few thoughts when you're on your phone, and it provides you with writing prompts and other reminders about what you've done in a day.

Here's what you should know about the Journal app and how it works. 

What is Journal?

Journal is an app developed by Apple to help users write journal entries and easily insert pictures, videos and other content. Your entries are stored locally on your iPhone, and you can have backups on iCloud.

Journal can suggest Reflections or other moments to write about.

Journal provides prompts, called Reflections, that you can write about. Some Reflections the app gave me included, "Think about something you love to do and why it brings you joy," and "Describe someone in your life who you really appreciate but forget to thank."

The app can also access certain data and give you suggestions about what to write based on that data. For example, on my first weekend with Journal, it suggested I write about a coffee shop and park that I visited. You can control what types of data and other apps Journal can access to create these suggestions. 

How do you get Journal?

Apple included Journal in the  iOS 17.2  update, so if you've downloaded the update, you should see the app on your home screen.

How secure is Journal?

According to Apple , the app has end-to-end encryption between your device and iCloud, and it uses on-device processes to create journaling suggestions including Reflections. That means the data it uses stays on your iPhone.

"No one but you can access your journal -- not even Apple," the company wrote online.

Beyond that, you can require the app to ask for your FaceID or passcode after it's been inactive for 1, 5 or 15 minutes. If you don't want to take any chances, you can set it to immediately lock when you switch apps or your iPhone goes to sleep -- you know, in case of snooping siblings or roommates.

How do you write an entry in Journal?

On the Journal homepage, you'll see your recent journal entries and a plus ( + ) sign across the bottom of your screen. Tap the plus sign and you'll be taken to a new menu.

You can also write about something you saw or thought about on your morning walk.

In this new menu, you'll see suggested Reflections as well as moments from your day that you can write about, like a picture you took or a Podcast you listened to. Tap any of these for a short overview of the suggestion, and then tap Start Writing . You'll be taken to a new page that looks similar to a new note in the Notes app, but the suggestion will show across the top of the screen. You can write your entry on this page, and you can add other content like photos, videos or voice notes.

You can also just write an entry without a suggestion. After tapping the plus sign on the Journal homepage, there is an option across the top of the new menu that reads New Entry . Tap this, and you can jot down any thoughts or feelings you're having at the moment, or you can add your own content here.

Once you're finished, tap Done in the top-right corner and the entry will be saved to the Journal homepage. You can also edit or update entries once they've been saved to the homepage. Tap the three dots ( ... ) in the bottom-right corner of the entry you want to edit, then tap Edit . 

What if I need help keeping a journaling schedule?

Have no fear: You can set the app to remind you to journal. A splash screen in Journal asks you to set a schedule the first time you open the app.

You can set reminders to journal in the app.

If you don't see this splash screen, or you want to change your schedule, go to Settings > Journal > Journaling Schedule and tap the switch next to Schedule . A menu will appear below Schedule  that will allow you to set a reminder to journal every day -- or certain days -- at a certain time.

Apple iPhone through the years: every model from 2007 to 2022

It's the smartphone that changed the world, but do you remember steve jobs showing it off for the first time.

The iPhone through the ages: Former Apple CEO Steve Jobs introduces the iPhone to the world in San Francisco, California, on January 9, 2007. It had a 3.5-inch screen and 2MP camera. Reuters

The youth of today may find it hard to believe but there was a time when we didn't have the Apple iPhone in our lives — or any mobile phone for that matter.

Just imagine having to call someone to communicate rather than using WhatsApp, taking photos with an actual camera and watching television on, well, your TV instead of squinting at your phone in the dark. You could even have a conversation with a stranger in the lift instead of burying yourself in those gorgeous pixels.

Life, as many of us know it, changed on January 9, 2007, when Steve Jobs started talking on stage about, every once in a while, introducing a “revolutionary product that changes everything".

This time, it was not just one product, but three: a widescreen iPod with touch controls, a revolutionary mobile phone … and a breakthrough internet communicator.

After teasing the crowd by repeating the three creations over and over, he exclaimed: “This is one device.”

And there the iPhone was born, along with a new use for fingers which have since been almost glued to the increasingly responsive screens.

Yearly updates have given us bigger screens, sharper cameras and faster loading times, but what comes next? Will Apple, now under the leadership of Tim Cook, reinvent the wheel again?

We found out at its Far Out event on September 7 , when the iPhone 14 made its first appearance. Reinvent the wheel? Not quite.

The iPhone 14 and iPhone 14 Plus will be powered by the A15 bionic chip that was introduced with the iPhone 13 series last year.

All new iPhones also feature an emergency SOS service through satellite connectivity and a crash detection feature. That, however, is about it apart from the usual camera upgrades.

At its March 2022 event, another new phone rolled out - this time the third generation of the iPhone SE . Again, nice update, but nothing massively new.

To relive the journey of the iPhone, scroll through the gallery at the top of the page.

The History of Every iPhone Model from 2007–2024

What to know.

• The first iPhone was released in 2007 and sold roughly 300,000 in the first weekend!
• Since then, Apple has released 42 different iPhone models, including the latest iPhone 15 lineup. 
• Apple just announced the next generation iPhone 15 in September 2023.

What was the first iPhone to come out? When did the first iPhone come out? We have the full history of the iPhone, from the first series to the latest iPhone 15. This article will cover the evolution of iPhones over the years, and discuss the notable changes made with each release.

The History of Every iPhone Model from 2007–2023 

How do you tell which iPhone model you have? We'll walk you through all the iPhone generations in order! Let's explore the long line of iPhone generations through the years. For more great Apple device identification tutorials, check out our free Tip of the Day . 

iPhone Models in Order:

The first iphone release date: june 29, 2007.

Can you believe 16 GB is all you could put on the first iPhone? Granted, there wasn't nearly as much data to put on the iPhone yet and certainly no App Store. But you had access to the internet on a screen you could actually see it on, unlike the flip and slider phones of the time. And it could only handle 128 MB of memory. The camera was 2.0 megapixels—so, terrible. But a phone with a camera! Holy moly!

As a fun aside, there actually isn't an iPhone 2. From the first iPhone, Apple leapfrogged right over this number to the iPhone 3G and 3GS. 

Release Date: July 11, 2008

As far as internal specs go, the iPhone 3G wasn't much different than the original iPhone. But now there was an App Store! This iPhone got its moniker for its 3G connectivity, which meant access to internet you could actually use without wanting to throw the iPhone across the room.

Release Date: June 19, 2009

Apple introduced the 32 GB storage option with the iPhone 3GS, doubling it from the first iPhone. Clearly, introducing the App Store changed things quickly. Between photos, music, and apps, 16 GB just wasn't going to cut it. The camera got an upgrade to 3MP and added video recording. Apple also added Voice Control, although we’d have to wait a couple more years before the introduction of Siri.

Release Date: June 24, 2010

Now we’re getting somewhere. The iPhone 4 was the first iPhone to have a front-facing camera. Little did Apple know, selfies would take over the world. The iPhone 4 also got a Retina display. With 512 MB of memory, it was equipped to handle a lot more than even the iPhone 3GS, which only had 256 MB of memory. You can see the technology was beginning to look a little more familiar, but 32 GB was still the maximum amount of storage the iPhone could hold.

Release Date: October 14, 2011

Talk about a huge difference between the iPhone 4 and the iPhone 4S: the camera went from 5MP to a whopping 8MP. Now, that’s an upgrade. Apple also introduced the 64 GB storage option but kept the memory at 512 MB. Video could then be recorded in 1080p. Oh, I can’t forget—hello, Siri! Apple sold four million units of the iPhone 4S in its first week.

Release Date: September 21, 2012

Apple sold 5 million units of the iPhone 5 in its first week. The camera stayed the same but memory was boosted all the way up to 1 GB. You thought 3G was cool? Psh, the iPhone 5 had LTE connectivity. Hello, internet everywhere! Apple also introduced the Lightning connector with the iPhone 5. And for the first time, the screen got bigger! All previous generations' displays were 3.5 inches, but the iPhone 5 was 4 inches.

iPhone 5s & iPhone 5c

Release date: september 20, 2013.

Between the iPhone 5s and the iPhone 5c, Apple sold nine million units in the first week of sales. The iPhone 5c was meant to be slightly more affordable and had a plastic shell. It was available in four different colors, but not too much else was different. The iPhone 5s, on the other hand, introduced Touch ID, dual flash, and slow-motion video. Plus, it included the M7 motion coprocessor, which opened a new realm of possibilities and also helped save battery life.

iPhone 6 & 6 Plus

Release date: september 19, 2014.

Apple tends to make larger leaps between the original model and the S edition than it does from the S edition to a new model. The iPhone 6's internal specs were very similar to those of the iPhone 5s. The biggest difference was having a significantly larger screen and offering an even larger size called 6 Plus. The Retina display became HD, and the option to get an iPhone with 128 GB of storage became available. But the amount of memory was the same, and the camera didn't see a megapixel upgrade. But it didn't matter—Apple sold 10 million units in the first week.

iPhone 6s & 6s Plus

Release date: september 19, 2015.

The 6s changed everything. Well, not everything; it  basically looked the same. But inside, Apple upgraded the iPhone 6s quite a lot. The camera made a huge leap forward going from 8MP to 12MP. The memory was also doubled from 1 GB to 2 GB. After the iPhone 6 had some bending issues (#bendgate), Apple gave the iPhone 6s 7000 series aluminum to make sure that never happened again. Last but not least, 3D Touch was introduced.

Release Date: March 31, 2016

Don’t think I’ve forgotten the iPhone SE. It had all the awesome internal specs of the iPhone 6s in a small package and without 3D Touch. But overall, the iPhone SE was introduced as a more affordable option that people really loved.

iPhone 7 & 7 Plus

Release date: september 16, 2016.

Apple finally dropped the 16 GB base model option, with iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus base models starting at 32 GB of storage and going up to 256 GB. Apple also introduced a new shiny Jet Black color. The iPhone 7 Plus proved to be more popular than previous Plus models due to its new dual camera, which made a significantly improved zoom feature possible, and Portrait mode, a software update that let iPhone 7 Plus users take impressive photos using Depth of Field. Perhaps the most controversial feature of the iPhone 7 and 7 Plus was the one Apple removed: the headphone jack. The new iPhones shipped with EarPods that plugged into the Lightning port and an adapter for traditional headphones. Apple introduced its wireless AirPods at the same event it announced it was eliminating the headphone jack. Apple stopped supporting updates for iPhone 7 and 7 Plus once iOS 16 launched in September 2022. 

iPhone 8 & 8 Plus

Release date: september 22, 2017.

The iPhone 8 and 8 Plus introduced us to wireless charging with the glass cover on the back of the iPhone. The camera was awesome, with upgraded tools for editing and filtering our images. The true-tone display improved the viewing experience by automatically reducing blue-light exposure. Users eventually (mostly) got used to not having a headphone jack and began adapting to the wireless lifestyle. Apple stopped supporting updates for the iPhone 8 line once iOS 17 launched in September 2023.

Release Date: November 3, 2017

Skipping right over the iPhone 9, the iPhone X was released 10 years after the original iPhone. The iPhone X included an extra front-facing camera that let us take amazing selfies in Portrait mode. Sure, other iPhones let us take cool-looking photos, but the iPhone X included Portrait mode for the front-facing camera, and we fell in love at first aperture. Apple stopped supporting updates for the iPhone X once iOS 17 launched in September 2023.

iPhone XS & XS Max

Release date: september 21, 2018.

Apple announced the XS and XS Max at its September 2018 event in the Steve Jobs Theater. These models were well named, as they were definite upgrades along the lines of the iPhone X. Both models had the front-facing camera for Portrait-mode selfies. The displays were edge to edge, and it all looked great with the Super Retina HD display. The biggest upgrade might be the smallest; the A12 bionic chip increased the processing power while decreasing battery drain.

Release Date: October 26, 2018

The iPhone XR was also announced at the September 2018 event but wasn't available right away. Because it was the cheaper of the new models, quite a few people decided to wait for the XR to be available. These iPhones were smaller than the XS and XS Max (but still bigger than the 7 and 8 Plus). The display was not as crisp as the XS and XS Max, but with the Liquid Retina HD display, the difference wasn't too noticeable. This model also had a front-facing camera and came in way more colors than the XS or XS Max. 

Release Date: September 20, 2019

The iPhone 11 was the least expensive of Apple's annual line at the time, but still had enough new features to be in the running for 2019's most popular iPhone. The device features a 6.1-inch Liquid Retina display, and comes in six crisp colors. The most exciting addition may have been the second camera on the back of the 11, both 12MP, and offering wide and ultra-wide lenses. 

iPhone 11 Pro

For Apple customers looking for a smaller phone with a top-of-the-line display, the iPhone 11 Pro was perfect. The 5.8-inch Super Retina XDR display was Apple's most crisp and clear to date. This phone featured not two, but three, 12 MP HDR camera lenses, offering wide, ultra-wide, and telephoto lenses. The color options were more muted than the iPhone 11, but there was always the option to add a flashy case!

iPhone 11 Pro Max

Apple's largest and most expensive phone of 2019 was the iPhone 11 Pro Max. The display was Apple's Super Retina XDR, as with the 11 Pro, but sized at 6.5-inches. The Pro Max featured the same, three-lens camera setup as the 11 Pro, as well as the same color choices, making size nearly the only difference between the devices. 

iPhone SE (second-generation)

Release date: april 24, 2020.

The 2020 iPhone SE is the second of its kind and was loved by those who prefer smaller iPhones. Apple took a few cues from the past with this throwback iPhone. The 4.7-inch Retina HD display and Home button with Touch ID harken back to the original iPhone SE, and with a similarly low price. The second-generation SE offered many of the features of Apple's most expensive iPhones, including an A13 Bionic chip, advanced camera system with Portrait mode and Depth Control, high-definition video, wireless charging capability, and long battery life.

iPhone 12 mini

Release date: november 13, 2020.

The iPhone 12 mini was a surprisingly small but still very powerful addition to the iPhone family. This thin and incredibly light smartphone measured just 5.4 inches and included the new, powerful A14 Bionic chip for a considerable boost in performance over previous models. It also featured Apple's latest Super Retina XDR OLED display and a host of camera upgrades, but still came with a dual-lens arrangement. The only notable differences between the iPhone 12 mini and the iPhone 12 were that the mini was smaller and had an estimated battery life that's two hours shorter than that of the larger iPhone 12.

Release Date: October 23, 2020

The 6.1-inch iPhone 12 had exactly the same features, camera specs, and processing capabilities as the 12 mini, except that it was estimated to have a 17-hour video playback compared to the iPhone 12 mini's 15 hours. This mid-range model also included the dual-lens camera, which was good enough for everyday users. However, Apple did include some impressive upgrades to their higher-end iPhone 12 Pro and Pro Max phones for those who chose their iPhones for their camera capabilities,

iPhone 12 Pro

Release date: october 23, 2020.

The iPhone 12 Pro boasted some very fancy  camera and color upgrades  as compared to the 12 and the 12 mini, but came in the same 6.1-inch screen size as the iPhone 12 and included all of the baseline features present in the budget models. New camera features introduced in 2020 include a triple-lens arrangement like we saw with the iPhone 11 Pro models, but with LiDAR scanning, improved Night Mode, and enhanced zoom range and lens functions. Both iPhone 12 Pro models included the fastest aperture ever used in an iPhone. Apple added RAW photos for superior pro editing capability and included Dolby Vision up to 60 frames per second in the Pro models.

iPhone 12 Pro Max

Release date: november 13, 2020.

The iPhone 12 Pro Max, featured all of the benefits of the 12 Pro, but with some upgrades and a considerable size difference. The 6.7-inch Pro Max claimed an 87 percent improvement in the way it functions in low light over the iPhone 11 models and features 5x zoom, which was a big deal for those who use their iPhones for professional or near-professional photography projects. The most distinguishing characteristic of this iPhone was its screen size.

Release Date: September 24, 2021

The iPhone 13 line's base model maintains many of the design features (re-)introduced in the iPhone 12 series, but it also comes with a 20 percent smaller notch, accommodated by a new camera layout. It runs on the A15 chip, which is an upgrade over the previous generation of iPhones, and the camera features some significant improvements, including Cinematic mode and Photographic Styles . Battery life is also improved for this model, and it comes in the following colors: pink, blue, midnight, starlight, and PRODUCT(RED). A big selling point for the iPhone 13 is the price point: it starts at the same price as the iPhone 12 did when released, but its base model offers double the storage space. The screen size remains the same at 6.1 inches.

iPhone 13 mini

Like its bigger siblings, the iPhone 13 mini runs on Apple's A15 Bionic chip, making it a powerhouse in a small package. Its battery life has improved up to an hour and a half a day over the iPhone 12 mini. As with other iPhone 13 models, the mini features big camera improvements, and the most storage available of any mini model at a maximum storage capacity of 512 GB. Its design and physical size also largely mirror the iPhone 12 mini, clocking in with a screen size of 5.4 inches. It features the same color options as the iPhone 13 and a starting price of $699 for 128 GB.

iPhone 13 Pro

The iPhone 13 Pro features a 6.1-inch Super Retina XDR display with ProMotion, but its big draw is the inclusion of a Telephoto camera, in addition to the Wide and Ultra Wide cameras that come with the iPhone 13 and iPhone 13 mini. It comes with a LiDAR scanner for Night Mode photography and offers a 1 TB model for more storage than any iPhone has ever offered before. It needs it, considering all the new camera features make for pretty bulky file sizes. It is also powered by the A15 chip and comes in silver, graphite, gold, and sierra blue.

iPhone 13 Pro Max

The iPhone 13 Pro Max offers everything the Pro does, but bigger. Its screen is the same size as the iPhone 12 Pro Max: 6.7 inches diagonally. It, like the rest of the iPhone 13 line, is a bit heavier and thicker than its predecessor, despite sharing the same dimensions otherwise. In addition to getting a chip upgrade to the A15, the iPhone 13 Pro Max also gets an additional GPU, for a total of five. It, too, offers a 1 TB storage capacity option, and Apple says the battery is able to support up to 28 hours of non-stop video playback. With the heftiest price tag of any iPhone, the iPhone Pro Max is the ultimate top-of-the-line model available.

iPhone SE (third-generation)

Release date: march 8, 2022.

The 2022 iPhone SE 3 is the third of its kind. It maintains the 4.7-inch Retina HD display and Home button with Touch ID, which harken back to the original iPhone SE, and with a similarly low price. The third-generation SE offers many of the features of Apple's most expensive iPhones, including 5G, an A15 Bionic chip, an advanced camera system with Portrait mode, Depth Control, high-definition video, Deep Fusion, wireless charging capability, and long battery life.

iPhone 14 & 14 Plus

Release date: 14 - september 16, 14 plus - october 7 2022.

Instead of the iPhone mini, Apple brought the Plus back for iPhone 14, with the slightly larger display that had been restricted to the exclusive Pro and Pro Max models in recent years. The iPhone 14 models came with some impressive safety-focused features, including Crash Detection (which automatically detects a car wreck and contacts emergency services in the event of a crash) and Emergency SOS via satellite, a feature with the capability to connect to emergency services via satellite if you find yourself in distress while out of range of Wi-Fi or cellular. The Emergency SOS via satellite is a first in the smartphone arena, since connecting to a satellite was previously only possible through bulky expensive devices built specifically for this purpose. The iPhone 14 & 14 Plus also offers a new dual-camera system, designed to take low-light photography to the next level (goodbye, grainy nighttime photos!). 

iPhone 14 Pro

Release date: september 16, 2022.

Similar to the iPhone 14 base model, the 6.1" iPhone 14 Pro debuted with the same Crash Detection and Emergency SOS via Satellite safety features. In addition to the new A16 Bionic chip, it also got a surprising upgrade, with a new "Dynamic Island" feature where the notch used to be. While the notch isn't gone, it now adapts to whatever you are doing to more seamlessly display notifications and background activities. It also featured an Always-On display, made possible by low-energy components, so that the time and widgets on your lock screen are always viewable. In perhaps the most impressive update, the iPhone 14 Pro and Pro Max offer a 48 MP camera (a sharp jump from the 12 MP camera offered by the previous model). This translates to a more flexible camera, with more options for framing and cropping, as well as better low-light shots so you can worry less about the lighting and more about capturing the moment.

iPhone 14 Pro Max

Its screen is the same size as the previous Pro Max generation: 6.7 inches diagonally. As expected, the iPhone 14 Pro Max has the same upgrades the other iPhone 14 models had, including the Always-On display, Dynamic Island, A16 chip, Emergency SOS via Satellite, Crash Detection, and the impressive 48 MP camera. It also offered a staggering 29-hour video playback battery life and the brightest and clearest display of any iPhone ever. With the new 48 MP camera, you won't want to stop taking photos, as this camera helps you to capture more colors, textures, and detail than ever before!

iPhone 15 & 15 Plus

Release date: september 12, 2023.

The new iPhone 15 and 15 Plus were recently unveiled at Apple's September 12 event. These models feature the same 6.1 and 6.7" Super Retina XDR displays as the iPhone 14 and 14 Plus, but the 15 and 15 Plus come with a new feature: color-infused glass backs. The iPhone 15 and 15 Plus have also added the Dynamic Island, only available in the iPhone 14 Pro and Pro Max last year. Both models feature a USB-C, rather than a Lighting port.

The iPhone 15 and 15 Plus also have a chip upgrade, moving up to the A16 Bionic Chip. The Advanced dual-camera system now features 48MP, Super-high-res photos, and Next-gen portraits with Focus and Depth control on both models. Also included are important safety features like Crash Detection and Emergency SOS via satellite.

iPhone 15 Pro

The new iPhone 15 Pro was recently unveiled at Apple's September 12 event. New features of Apple's latest iPhone model include a titanium frame, USB-C port, and the brand new Action button. The Action button turns the Ring/Silent switch into a customizable button that can activate the camera, turn on the flashlight, set Accesibility options, change Focus modes, open a note, start a Voice Memo, and even run custom Shortcuts. 

Similar to the iPhone 15 base model, the 6.1" iPhone 15 Pro offers Crash Detection and Emergency SOS via satellite safety features. The new A17 Pro Bionic chip allows for the best iPhone graphics performance to date (great for gaming), while the camera system now features next-generation portraits with Focus and Depth Control.

iPhone 15 Pro Max

The new iPhone 15 Pro Max was unveiled at Apple's September 12 event. Just like the 15 Pro, the 6.7" iPhone 15 Pro Max includes a titanium frame, USB-C port, and Action button. The Pro Max also offers safety features, including Crash Detection and Emergency SOS via satellite safety features. The A17 Pro Bionic chip combined with its larger screen size allows for the best iPhone gaming performance to date, with less lag, more speed, and immersive, detailed graphics. The camera system now features next-generation portraits with Focus and Depth Control.

iPhone Generations to Come

Apple has released a total of 38 iPhones over the years (including the latest iPhone 15 models). We've given you a complete look at each iPhone evolution, starting when Steve Jobs unveiled the original iPhone in 2007. As you can see, the iPhone has gone through a lot of changes, from a 16 GB web browser to a 1 TB all-in-one camera, workspace, and entertainment center.

In the early days, Apple released one iPhone per year. That gradually changed as the releases of new models got closer and closer together from 2010 to 2013. With the September rollout, though, Apple released both the iPhone 5s and the iPhone 5c, ushering in an era of two iPhone releases per year. 2017, 2018, and 2019 each saw the release of three more iPhone models, and then in 2020 the tech giant shocked the world. Not only did it release the iPhone SE (second-generation) in April, the company also rolled out the four iPhones in the 12-series lineup in its delayed fall announcement.

At its September 2021 event, Apple revealed the four new phones that comprise the iPhone 13 lineup, then in March 2022 released the the iPhone SE (third-generation). However, in the September 2022 event, the iPhone 14 lineup had reverted to only three new phones, marking the end of the less popular iPhone mini. Apple released the exciting new iPhone 15 in September 2023 and moved back to the four-iPhone lineup, minus the mini.

We loved learning about the history of the iPhone over the years, and we hope you did, too!

If you think it might be time for you to upgrade your iPhone to a newer model, check out our article on how to know when to upgrade your phone . 

• Why Did Apple Skip Some iPhone Numbers? Why Did Apple Skip Some iPhone Numbers? There isn't an iPhone 2 because after the first generation, the next iPhone featured 3G internet connectivity, so iPhone 3! Why did Apple skip iPhone 9? Apple went straight to the iPhone X because it was released ten years after the first iPhone release.
• When will the next iPhone come out? The iPhone 15 was announced on September 12, 2023, and begins shipping on September 22.
• Did the first iPhone have a camera? Yes, the first iPhone did, though not an especially powerful or clear one. Apple has shown a company initiative to continue improving upon iPhone cameras with each release. The newest iPhones offer incredible detail and professional-level finishing with the stock camera and photo editing options.

We hope this article answers any questions you have about the evolution of phones in Apple's lineup. This iPhone evolution chart will continue to grow over the years, and we'll be here to keep it updated: from the new iPhone 15 and beyond.

Apple's road map for next 3 years just tipped by leaker — here's all the new products on the way

Here are Apple's big product launches for the next three years — according to Samsung

An Apple roadmap detailing big product announcements and feature upgrades has been produced by Samsung, and has been leaked to X/Twitter by tipster Revegnus for us all to see.

The roadmap comes from Samsung Securities, the part of the enormous South Korean conglomerate responsible for its financial services business. Therefore, as you might expect, it's in its best interests to have an idea of what the world's biggest tech company is up to. Several of these claims we've already heard about — but Samsung's analysis just adds additional weight to these rumors.

Update March 19: The Korean news outlet Alpha Business says that the first foldable iPhone will launch in early 2027 . 

Apple's next product roadmapSource: Samsung securities pic.twitter.com/n3TT7W9vqE March 16, 2024

The roadmap starts in 2023, which perhaps means this is a little outdated, or just that the creators wanted to get some easy wins off the bat. It references the iPhone 15 Pro 's 8GB RAM upgrade, the iPhone 15 Pro Max 's 5x periscope zoom upgrade and its titanium body. It also points to the Vision Pro , discussing its dual M2/R1 chipsets, microLED displays and eye-tracking cameras.

Vision Pro then tops the list of 2024 releases, bringing us up to the present day. Samsung Securities goes on to claim this year we'll see 11-inch and 13-inch iPads with OLED displays, (rumored to be iPad Pro OLED models specifically), and larger displays and 5x periscope cameras for both the iPhone 16 Pro and iPhone 16 Pro Max models. There's no mention of the standard iPhone 16 though, perhaps meaning it expects only limited upgrades again for the basic new iPhone.

Apple in 2025: iPhone SE 4

Moving to next year, when the iPhone SE 4 will apparently turn up with a 6.1-inch OLED display and a 48MP camera. It'll be joined by triple 48MP cameras and 48MP front camera with optical image stabilization (OIS), presumably for the iPhone 17 Pro. 12GB RAM is also on the menu, as is a POL-LESS display, an upgraded OLED panel made by Samsung that makes the display thinner, brighter and more efficient.

Apple in 2026: Foldable iPhone, Cheaper XR headset

In 2026, we may finally get a foldable iPhone , the roadmap claims. This could be 6- and 8-inches according to the graphic, which suggests Apple's making a book-style foldable, rather than the flip-style one we'd expected. However, note that a separate report in the Korean publication Alpha Business says that the foldable iPhone could slip until early 2027 .

Beyond that, we can apparently also expect a cheaper XR headset to follow up the Vision Pro , OLED iPad Air and iPad mini models, and the first OLED MacBooks , which we'd assume are going to be Pro models because of the 14-inch and 16-inch sizes references.

The roadmap also claims Apple will adopt Samsung's faster and more efficient LLW DRAM, (as detailed by Tom's Hardware ), and an infrared sensor panel, though we're not sure what this last one means precisely.

Apple in 2027: First AR glasses, foldable iPad 

At the end of the roadmap, marking 2027 onwards, Samsung Securities predicts Apple to produce its first AR Glasses with 1.4-inch RGD microOLED or microLED displays. As for its more established device lines, this is the year when we'll get a 20-inch foldable iPad according to Samsung Securities, which is odd since we had heard this would arrive before the foldable iPhone according to other sources.

To state the obvious, Apple seems to have a lot for us to look forward to on the way in the next few years. No doubt rivals, including Samsung Securities' colleagues over in its mobile arm, will have plenty to show off too, including more advanced tech than Apple's rumored to be using in some circumstances. But anyone looking to get foldables or XR/spatial computing devices specifically from Apple will be happy to know they're likely on the way.

To keep yourself updated when we hear more about the products referenced here, check in on our iPhone 16 , iPhone 16 Pro , iPhone SE 4 , iPad Pro 2024 , Apple Glasses , MacBook Pro OLED , and iPhone Flip hubs regularly.

Apple TV+ announces season two renewal for global hit drama “The Last Thing He Told Me,” with Jennifer Garner and Reese Witherspoon set to reteam for second season based on newly announced sequel to the bestselling novel from Laura Dave

Today, Apple TV+ announced a second season renewal for its gripping, hit series “The Last Thing He Told Me,” based on the forthcoming sequel to the acclaimed, No. 1 New York Times bestselling novel and Reese’s Book Club pick by Laura Dave. Dave’s highly anticipated sequel to “The Last Thing He Told Me” novel is confirmed for publication in 2025 — from Simon & Schuster/Marysue Ricci Books in the U.S., and Penguin Random House/Century Books in the U.K., Australia and New Zealand — ahead of the premiere of the second season of the Apple TV+ series. Hailing from 20th Television and Reese Witherspoon’s Hello Sunshine (a part of Candle Media), “The Last Thing He Told Me” season two will expand the story with stars Jennifer Garner, Nikolaj Coster-Waldau, Angourie Rice and David Morse set to reprise their roles.

“Like so many people, I fell for Hannah on page one of Laura Dave's gripping novel,” said star and executive producer Jennifer Garner. “The move to actor and producer from reader and super fan was delicious — and made even sweeter by collaborating with Laura, Josh, Reese and everyone at Hello Sunshine, as well as the amazing teams at Apple and 20th. Being part of this group, not to mention part of such a stellar cast, was a career highlight for me. I’m thrilled to get to tell more of Hannah's story — I couldn't have said yes more quickly to season two! These characters and their story mean so much to me, as I know they do to the many who have championed our show; we're excited to give audiences even more with this next chapter.”

“We are thrilled to be bringing this incredible team back together for another season of ‘The Last Thing He Told Me’ on Apple TV+,” said Reese Witherspoon, founder of Hello Sunshine. “The audience response to Laura Dave’s gorgeous novel and Jen Garner’s stunning performance in the series was so gratifying for all of us at Hello Sunshine. We can’t wait to dive in and see what’s in store for Hannah Hall in season two.”

“‘The Last Thing He Told Me’ quickly became so beloved by global audiences and we’re incredibly excited to expand the world of Laura’s bestselling novel, alongside this amazing creative team led by Reese and Jennifer,” said Matt Cherniss, head of programming for Apple TV+. “Season two will take viewers on an even more exhilarating ride with more mysteries, twists and turns around every corner, and we can’t wait to explore the next chapter for these captivating characters.”

Starring and executive produced by Garner, with a performance hailed as “superb,” “intuitive,” portrayed with “fierceness” and “gravitas,” the dramatic thriller follows Hannah Hall (played by Garner), a woman who must forge a relationship with her 16-year-old stepdaughter Bailey (played by Rice) in order to find the truth about why her husband has mysteriously disappeared. The complete first season of the 2023 ReFrame Stamp-winning series is now streaming on Apple TV+.

“The Last Thing He Told Me” is produced by 20th Television and Witherspoon’s Hello Sunshine, a part of Candle Media. Created and adapted by Laura Dave, alongside Academy Award-winning co-creator Josh Singer, “The Last Thing He Told Me” is the first collaboration between the married Dave and Singer, who both serve as executive producers alongside Garner and Hello Sunshine’s Witherspoon and Neustadter. Emmy Award nominee Aaron Zelman joins season two as co-showrunner and executive producer with Singer. Hello Sunshine optioned “The Last Thing He Told Me” from author Dave, and 20th Television optioned the upcoming sequel.

“I'm over the moon to continue telling the story of Hannah and Bailey,” said Laura Dave. “The response to ‘The Last Thing He Told Me’ has been truly extraordinary, and I'm grateful to everyone who read and shared the book and made this possible.”

“Working with Jennifer Garner, Angourie Rice and Nikolaj Coster-Waldau has been fantastic in every way, and Laura and I are thrilled to reunite with them as well as Reese, Lauren and the incredible teams at Hello Sunshine, 20th Television, Apple TV+, and the entire cast and crew,” said Josh Singer. “We're thrilled Aaron Zelman is joining us to help lead our show as we dive into the exciting new season.”

First published in hardcover by Simon & Schuster in 2021, the novel “The Last Thing He Told Me” was a Reese’s Book Club pick, becoming an instant No. 1 New York Times bestseller and remaining on the list for more than 80 weeks, selling three million copies to date. It was the winner of the Goodreads Choice Award for Best Thriller/Suspense of 2021, an Amazon Best Book of the Year in 2021, an Apple Best Book of the Year in 2021; and, in 2022, “The Last Thing He Told Me” was one of the most popular books checked out at libraries across America as well as the No. 1 most popular e-book. The book has been embraced in 38 countries around the globe, including the U.K., where it was a Richard and Judy Book Club pick.

In addition to “The Last Thing He Told Me,” Apple Originals produced by Hello Sunshine include Emmy, SAG and Critics Choice Award-winning series “The Morning Show,” starring Witherspoon and Jennifer Aniston; psychological thriller “Surface,” starring Gugu Mbatha-Raw; and, “My Kind of Country,” a groundbreaking global search for unconventional and extraordinary country music talent and the first competition series for Apple TV+; among others.

After its launch on November 1, 2019, Apple TV+ became the first all-original streaming service to launch around the world, and has premiered more original hits and received more award recognitions faster than any other streaming service in its debut.

The evolution of iphones: a revolutionary journey.

Since its inception in 2007, the iPhone has become an iconic piece of technology that has revolutionized the way we communicate, work, and entertain ourselves. Created by Apple Inc., the iPhone has undergone numerous iterations, each one pushing the boundaries of what a smartphone can do. In this article, we will take a journey through the evolution of iPhones, highlighting key milestones and innovations along the way. For more insights into the world of mobile technology, visit  Solve Mobile Tech .

The Birth of an Icon

The first iPhone was unveiled by the late Steve Jobs on January 9, 2007. With its sleek design, touch-sensitive screen, and a user-friendly interface, the original iPhone set a new standard for smartphones. It combined a phone, an iPod, and an internet communicator into one compact device, changing the landscape of mobile technology forever.

The iPhone 3G and the App Store

In 2008, Apple released the iPhone 3G, introducing 3G networking for faster internet speeds. This was also the year the App Store was launched, giving developers a platform to create and distribute applications. The App Store’s success played a pivotal role in making the iPhone an indispensable part of our daily lives.

Retina Display and Siri

With the release of the iPhone 4 in 2010, Apple introduced the Retina Display, setting a new standard for screen clarity and quality.

In 2011, the iPhone 4S brought us Siri, Apple’s virtual assistant, which opened up new ways to interact with our devices.

In 2017, the iPhone X made waves with its edge-to-edge Super Retina display and the revolutionary Face ID, which replaced the traditional home button with facial recognition technology.

A Focus on Photography and AR

Recent models like the iPhone 11, 11 Pro, and 11 Pro Max have placed a strong emphasis on photography, featuring multiple camera systems and advanced computational photography capabilities. Additionally, these models have continued to push the boundaries of augmented reality (AR) with powerful processors and software enhancements.

5G, A15 Bionic, and Beyond

In 2020, Apple released the iPhone 12 series, which brought 5G connectivity to the iPhone lineup, allowing for even faster internet speeds. The A15 Bionic chip, introduced with the iPhone 12, delivered remarkable performance improvements, setting a new standard for mobile processing power.

The Future of iPhones

As technology continues to advance, it’s exciting to think about what the future holds for iPhones. Anticipated developments may include further advancements in camera technology, augmented reality integration, and even more powerful processors.

Journey’s protective iPhone 13 leather case feels just right [Review]

By David Snow • 8:30 am, August 15, 2022

Whether you’re getting an iPhone 13 series handset at a discount because iPhone 14 is coming soon or you just want to change up your case for the iPhone you already have, you can’t go wrong with the tasteful and tough Journey iPhone 13 Leather Case.

The company sent me a MagSafe-compatible, tan-colored case for iPhone 13 Pro to try out. I found it a refreshing switch from the Apple clear MagSafe case I’d been using, which had begun to blacken at the corners over the past several months.

Journey iPhone 13 Pro Leather Case

Journey, an Alogic brand, makes chargers and accessories, Apple Watch bands and leather cases for iPhones and AirPods.

The refined look and feel of the Journey iPhone 13 Pro Leather Case I’ve been using for several days impressed me right out of the box. And it continues to impress me.

Refined look and feel

The light-weight leather case looks terrific and feels good in the hand. It looks a bit lighter in color in-person than it does in some of the photos, by the way. The photos on the Journey website show the color well.

The light scratches in the leather, visible in some of the photos, were my doing, by the way. I accidentally added some “character” that I think will probably blend in more over time.

A nice aspect of the case is that the branding, like my scratches, is pretty subtle. A small, glossy “Journey” is embossed along one matte black edge in the same color. And inside the case the Journey logo appears.

You can find leather iPhone cases that are more supple and distinguished-looking than this one, but they will cost substantially more.

Reasonably protective

The Journey case feels almost as protective as the Apple clear case I use most of the time. The Journey case is rated to withstand falls of up to 6 feet, which covers most real-world drops. Just don’t drop your iPhone off a building.

The reason I say “almost” as protective is simply that the Journey case features cutouts for all button and ports, whereas the Apple case covers the buttons with thin TPU. Journey’s cutouts offer some protection, though, in that the buttons are in a recession, so the adjacent bumper material probably takes the punishment in a fall.

But Journey provides a bit more protection than Apple at the bottom of the case. Journey’s cutouts precisely encircle the Lighting port and speaker holes, whereas the Apple case is open. Its hard edge material stops at the corners of the handset.

The Journey case also features a hard, raised lip around the iPhones camera assembly. At 1mm thick, the black lip is not as thick as Apple’s, but seems just as protective. And the black color matches the bumper material on the case’s edges. It goes well with the tan leather.

The case’s microfiber lining feels like it shouldn’t scratch my iPhone at all.

Slim and light case made of supple leather

Journey’s case is just 0.07 inches thick at its edges, which his pretty slim for a case that feels this rugged. “Phones don’t have to be bricks,” Journey says on its websites, and mine certainly isn’t one in this case.

The company uses full-grain leather from Ecco, based the Netherlands. Its soft feel in the hand is a nice change from the Apple case’s polycarbonate exterior.

Leather like this should develop a patina over time, Journey says, darkening a bit in color. I hope any developing patina will sort of absorb or disguise any further scratching of the surface I manage to inflict.

MagSafe compatible

The case features a built-in array of magnets that ensures an iPhone sticks to MagSafe and other magnetic chargers. My iPhone in the case readily took to a third-party MagSafe-compatible 3-in-1 charger, as did the case by itself.

Features and specs:

• Slim profile (2mm thick) with rounded edges
• Wrapped in full-grain European leather.
• Smooth finish develops patina over time.
• Polycarbonate core provides everyday protection.
• Precise cut-outs allow button and port access.
• Soft microfiber lining protects phone from scratches.
• Compatible with MagSafe and Qi charging.
• Available in tan, saddle brown and black colors.
• Dimensions: iPhone 13 Pro Max: W 82.47 x H 165.24 x D 12.93 mm; iPhone 13 Pro: W 75.92 x H 151.1 x D12.9 mm; iPhone 13: W 75.92 x H 151.1 x D12.9 mm
• 2-year warranty

Bottom line, if you want a refined and protective leather case for your iPhone that doesn’t cost too much, go with Journey. It’s not unusual to see cases of similar quality that go for $20 to $50 more.

Price: $39.99

All of the best iPhone 15 cases [2024 update #2]

Our latest roundup of the best iPhone 15 cases is now ready to move into 2024 with all of the newest releases. While the FineWoven covers certainly weren’t as popular as Apple would have hoped, there are plenty of notable options from other brands stepping up to offer everything from thin minimalism to luxurious genuine leather and everything in between. We have now updated this roundup with some new brands as well as additional releases that have cropped up over the last month or so. Head below for a closer look at the best iPhone 15 cases for 2024. 

The best iPhone 15 cases

Update 3/3/24: Our roundup of the best iPhone 15 cases has now been updated with hands-on reviews and features of some of last month’s latest additions to give folks a better idea of what they are in for. The new 2-in-1 magnetic MagSafe iPhone Pocket Book from Burton Goods is a real highlight here – it’s one of the best folio-style wallet cases I have tested out yet – and you’ll definitely want to take a closer look at the latest MUJJO MaizCase if you’re into leather-alternative solutions:

• Burton Goods’ gorgeous leather MagSafe iPhone Pocket Book
• Is MUJJO’s iPhone 15 MaizCase the best leather alternative yet?
• Hands-on with MUJJO’s genuine leather and microfiber MagSafe wallet
• Nomad x Peak Design adventure-ready Rugged iPhone 15 Case

But the most exciting new release of the year in iPhone cases for me has to be the new SANDMARC Minimal Leather models (seen pictured above) starting from $40.50 using code 9TO5TOYS at checkout. Available in a range of colors for all iPhone 14 and 15 models, this new case from the brand takes what was already my personal favorite leather case and makes it even thinner, doing away with the metal cage treatment that protected the camera array in favor of a more streamlined and thin solution complete with metal button covers. Scope out the details on this one right here . The brand’s new Telephoto 6x iPhone zoom lens with adjustable focus wheel  is also worth a look for iPhoneographers – it features an exclusive discount for 9to5 readers as well. 

Apple iPhone 15 cases

This year’s collection of covers from Apple has arrived with some fresh new designs to top our list of the best iPhone 15 cases. Many folks swear by the first-party offerings, and this year’s collection has now arrived in full force. Let’s call it more than just rumors of Apple moving away from leather offerings came true, and now a more environmentally-friendly FineWoven textile sits in its place – the Apple FineWoven iPhone 15 cases are starting to appear on Amazon alongside the matching FineWoven MagSafe wallets .

Apple describes the FineWoven treatment as a durable microtwill with a “soft, suede-like feel…designed with the earth in mind.” It is made from 68% post-consumer recycled materials and “significantly reduces carbon emissions compared to leather.”

This year’s offerings breakdown as follows:

Updating…more on the way shortly

Well, everyone has different needs and tastes here, whether that be an ultra-protective offering or something in the barley there category. After years and years of testing out cases for Apple’s iPhone each year, we are pretty confident in the picks found above, to say the least. This roundup of the best iPhone 15 cases is a great place to start, alongside the launch coverage for several of the best brands over at 9to5Toys and the plethora of hands-on reviews we will begin to publish once Apple has shipped out the new iPhone 15 models.

Well, some folks try to jam last year’s case onto the new devices. It’s something I tend to recommend avoiding if possible, but it will work in some cases. The size of the handsets is rarely exactly the same, but it appears as though the standard iPhone 15 and 15 Plus models are quite close this year, while the iPhone 15 Pro and Pro Max have shifted in size a little bit. The USB-C port will presumably change things up a little bit as well. You can find more details here .

Easy… 9to5Toys . We will be publishing price drops from all the best brands the second they go live, alongside some exclusive deals just for 9to5 readers. In fact, you’ll already find some launch deals available in our roundup of the best iPhone 15 cases above.

How to make your iPhone's battery last longer

If your iphone has been running out of juice sooner than usual, these tips can help make each charge last longer.

No one likes being tethered to a socket at home or dealing with a dying phone when on the go. A long-lasting battery life on a phone is essential. When an iPhone ages, its battery suffers, leading to a shorter life. If you feel your iPhone has not lasted as long as it used to, follow the tips below. They won’t undo the battery damage but’ll ensure you get the most out of each charge.

Turn off Background Refresh

iPhone apps tend to auto-refresh to be ready for you when you launch them. While that’s helpful, it constantly drains your battery in the background. Imagine how much battery that would take up if your phone’s loaded with apps.

Turning the background app refresh off is okay since they can always refresh upon launch. Go to General > Background App Refresh > Background App Refresh (again) and choose Off .

Limit Location Services

Location services are another thing that runs in the background that takes up your battery without you knowing. You’re wasting considerable battery by always sharing your location with certain apps. You should change that to only when you’re using that app.

Head over to Settings > Privacy and go through the list of apps to see if any say ‘Always’ in front of their names. When you see one, click on it   and pick While Using the App from the list. If you feel that the app doesn’t need your location, feel free to pick Never.

Organizing this list from time to time helps save you a lot of battery and is also safer regarding privacy.

Watch Your Phone’s Temperature

According to Apple’s iPhone user guide , iPhones are designed to work in ambient temperatures between 32° and 95° F (0° and 35° C) and stored in temperatures between -4° and 113° F (-20° and 45° C). The guide also adds that an iPhone’s battery life can be shortened if stored or operated outside these temperature ranges.

This means that to optimize your iPhone’s performance, you need to watch its temperature. If you’re out in the cold, keep it as warm as you can tucked inside your jacket’s pocket. If you’re charging it and feel it starting to heat up, take it out of its case so it can breathe a little.

Turn Low Power Mode On

This is an obvious one. Low Power Mode reduces background activity like auto-downloads and mail fetch and reduces your display’s refresh rate. This makes your phone less power-hungry. You still get all your notifications, and your phone works normally.

Low Power Mode automatically activates when your battery falls below 20%. However, if you wish to activate it manually, go to Settings > Battery and turn on the toggle switch for Low Power Mode .

It’s easier to add the feature to your Control Center, so all you have to do is swipe down on your display and click the battery icon when you want to activate the mode. To add it to your Control Center, navigate to Settings > Control Center and hit the green plus icon next to Low Power Mode.

Turn Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, Cellular Data, and Airdrop off

Again, it’s a pretty obvious and easy one. Features like Wi-Fi and Airdrop drain your battery by constantly looking for connections nearby. For instance, turning all of these off is a good habit when hitting the bed.

To turn Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and Data off, swipe down on your display from the top-right and tap on their respective icons. It’ll all be greyed out if you’re successful. You can also turn them off in Settings. Go to each menu (Wi-Fi, Settings, Bluetooth) and turn their respective toggle switches off.

For Airdrop, go to Settings > General > Airdrop and click on Receiving Off.

Turn Brightness Down

There’s a reason why Low Power Mode makes your display less bright. The higher the brightness, the less your battery will last. Unless you’re outdoors and absolutely need all those nits, turn your brightness down in the Control Center.

Swipe down on your display from the top-right of your screen and then swipe down on the brightness slider as much as you want. Heading over to Settings > Display & Brightness and tweaking the Brightness slider on that page is another way to do this.

Turn Auto-Lock On

The longer your display stays on, the more battery you’ll lose. Turn auto-lock on if you always turn off your display when putting your phone down manually. You’d need to go to Settings > Display & Brightness > Auto-Lock . Once you see all the options, change it from Never to an option of your choice . Anything two minutes or under should be fine.

If Auto-Lock is greyed out, that’s because your Low Power Mode is activated. You’re automatically defaulted to 30 seconds, which is even better. But it’s helpful to have this information handy when you want your display to last longer.

Think of this as the ‘turn it off and on again’ hack. It works for everything, from making your iPhone run faster to extending its battery life. New iOS versions bring bug fixes and updates that help improve your phone’s overall performance. Anytime your phone’s acting up, it’s a good idea to check if you’re on the latest software version and update if you aren’t.

Navigating to Settings > General > Software Update will tell you whether or not you need to update.
