The importance of iPhone 4 in smart phone industry can only be realized by looking back to the legacy of the creation of iPhone.
On 9 January 2007 Steve Jobs, Apple's CEO, took the stage at Macworld Conference & Expo to hold one of the most incredible invention in cell phone industry: the iPhone which performs multitask like a "iPod with touch controls, a revolutionary mobile phone and a device to surf the internet."
It is very rare that a company is able to revolutionize an industry (mobile) during its life cycle.
Apple had already failed with the personal computer market with iMac and got a slight comeback with iPod and iTunes and wanted to try their fortune with the mobile phone!

At that point of history rival mobile manufacturing companies had tried in vain to present the market with innovative products,
Steve Jobs introduced the first iPhone by describing the hardware design and software features, like multitasking, allowing to switch from music to email with extreme ease.
All this was doable with revolutionarily bit screen technology, with simply finger faucet to access all functions of the device.
The first generation iPhone, codenamed M68, was equipped with a three.5 in. screen with a resolution of 480x320 pixels, for a constituent density per in. capable 163 PPI.
The phone used a processor supported ARM design developed by Samsung, a PowerVR MBX low-cal 3D graphics card, a non-removable battery of 1400 mAh and 128MB of RAM.
In addition, the iPhone 2G was enriched by Apple engineers with sensors that augmented the chances of use the measuring instrument to permit the rotation of the screen mechanically, the proximity device that allowed the phone to show on the screen after you approached the phone to form a decision and a light-weight device to regulate the show brightness to tolerable level.
Today each bite of those options could appearance terribly pale however seven years past it absolutely was simply a pure revolutionary innovation.
The iOS package employed in the phone shows similar impression. The package comes with shiny colours and icons that may be simply noticed by finger on the screen.
Among the primary applications put in, a mobile version of campaign, the favored net browsers already noted to the mack user, Youtube, Google Maps and alternative apps dedicated to the fundamental practicality of your phone: SMS, Camera and ikon.
However, the primary iPhone was criticized for a few limitations like no GPS support, not supporting UMTS/HSPA 3G web, non-removable battery etc.
Most of all although, Jobs skipped a key element: the allowance of the third-party apps. perhaps it absolutely was too early for such a factor however the iPhone was the primary smartphone with innovative options to be launched within the market.
When it absolutely was placed on sale within the USA on twenty nine Gregorian calendar month 2007, the iPhone value $ 499 (4GB) and $ 599 (8GB) with the carrier contract. throughout the year, Apple considerably reduced the worth, charging $ 399 for the 8GB version.
Needless to mention that the competitors was nonplussed, although expressed skepticism. Microsoft, Sony Ericsson and Nokia failed to perceive that the sport is dynamic and also the market reveals the reality in coming many years.
Meanwhile, Apple was functioning on consequent model, the iPhone 3G.

iPhone 3G
iPhone 3G had aghast the transportable market. Jobs was convinced (and as we have a tendency to saw later that he was right) that competition would have taken years to attain a similar level sales of the foremost rival firms however six million sets sold-out in precisely four countries within the world.
Apple complete that that they had created the goose that lays the golden eggs and tried to require advantage of it the maximum amount as doable by launching a replacement iPhone when one year, the 3G model.
The new good phone was unveiled June nine, 2008 and this point Apple improved the shortcomings of the primary generation iPhone and create some real changes: the transition from 2G to 3G, offered in seventy international markets, services for firms and third-party applications.
The iPhone 3G, codenamed N82, had a similar show (3.5 inches and a resolution of 480 x 320 pixels), a similar ARM-based processor factory-made by Samsung, a similar graphics chip and therefore the same quantity of RAM memory of the primary represent.
Even internal storage remained unchanged, eight GB and sixteen GB, the sensors weren't improved and, even, the battery was less powerful 1400 mAh to 1150 mAh.
However the GPS was introduced during this unleash. Apple additionally set to use a polycarbonate case with metal keys to improved signal reception and that they created it offered to users with 2 colors: the classic black and white one.
The final blow for the explosion on the market of the iPhone 3G and later models came with the gap of the App Store. UN agency bought the new model finally had the possibility to transfer new games or use the Facebook app.
The iPhone 3G reached twenty million units commerce when a year since launch. Apple was terribly certain that they need conquered people`s mind, proceeded in June 2009, while not it`s leader Steve Jobs (struggling with the primary serious signs of the disease), to gift to the world's third iPhone, referred to as the 3GS .
This phone had a similar style of 3G, once more a similar three.5 in. show with a similar resolution however treated otherwise with anti-fingerprint oleophobic coating.
The chipset was doubled in power because of the ARM Cortex A8 processor and PowerVR SGX535 GPU. The RAM was doubled and dropped at 256MB with the introduction of the 32GB model.
The exaggerated speed of the device wasn't solely thanks to hardware enhancements. Apple was able to reap the primary fruits of that renowned integration between hardware and software package that's a matter of proud until nowadays.
The iPhone OS three.0 appeared with this unleash and therefore the whole system was 2-4 times quicker than within the past, each with relation to net browsing and for the employment of the applications.
From now onward, Apple devoted a lot of attention to the photographic business.
The integration of 3-megapixel camera with software package options like auto-focus, car white balance, and macro mode greatly contributed to the emergence of the digital revolution made from pictures that began to shrink on social networks.
At that time of history, the iPhone 3GS want the introduction of voice management, real rudimentary voice assistant Siri, that came when 2 years.
But, the upgraded software package and hardware of the iPhone 3GS brought the apple to interrupt new sales records: one million smartphones sold-out in its initial weekend of launch and it had been solely the start of a trend that continues to rise over the years.

iPhone 4
On 7 June 2010, Steve Jobs back on stage again the WWDC to present one of the most successful smartphones in the history of mobile telephony: the iPhone 4 which brought 100 new features compared to the 3GS, a design completely changed, a camera worthy of the name and a display with unprecedented resolution.
Let's start from the screen; Apple used an IPS panel with LED backlighting, where images seemed painted under the glass, with a viewing angle greatly improved.
To increase the number of pixels and maintain compatibility with the existing apps, company doubled the resolution from 480x320 pixels to 960x640 pixels.
The human eye would no longer separate the individual pixels and that was the reason why the new screen was called "Retina".

The design of the iPhone 4 felt in love right away by millions of users. This phone was covered with chemically hardened glass (Aluminosilicate) and with an aluminum frame that served as an antenna for the various connections: Bluetooth, WiFi, aGPS and UMTS / HSPA.
Inside the case Apple used the first ARM cortex A8 processor, PowerVR SGX535 graphics chip, 512 MB RAM and internal memory 16 and 32GB.
The photographic experience impressed everyone, thanks to the 5-megapixel rear camera capable of recording video at 720p, helped by a BSI sensor and LED flash.

But the news does not stop there; Steve Jobs wanted at all costs to introduce a front camera to enable video calls via FaceTime, Apple-style app like Skype. The phone was operated by the new iOS 4 software.
Despite the many positive aspects, the iPhone 4 also brought many problems like delaying the marketing of the white model for several months and difficulty so-called "Antennagate".
The iPhone 4 had obvious problems of signal reception when users face it in some particular directions.

Steve Jobs felt it necessary to organize a special conference in which he promised a "reimbursement" for users (a mere rubber bumper) and a redesign of the complex antenna system of the phone. After some time the problem was reduced and then completely eliminated.
The year 2010 was not a year like any others for Apple when they introduced the most famous iPhone ever produced, spanning close to four years until 2014 in some developing countries.
The iPhone 4 is the greatest market success of Apple which got over 600,000 pre-orders within 24 hours of its first release.

iPhone 4s
The iPhone 4 spent the longest time as Apple's flagship iPhone model at fifteen months, and had the longest lifespan of any iPhone ever produced, spanning close to four years and available in some developing countries until early 2014.
It is understood from the month of June, when it was unveiled during the WWDC any new model of iPhone. Soon the Cupertino company announced the passing of the baton from Steve Jobs to Tim Cook. On October 4, the same Cook, along with Phil Schiller and the team put on by Jobs announced the iPhone 4S. The day after Steve Jobs died.
The iPhone 4S was supported by iOS 5 and iCloud, and that made him "the best iPhone yet." In such a model is most remembered as the "father" of Siri, the voice assistant that opened the way to competition for this type of application.
Assume the maintenance of the award-winning (and copied) design of the previous model, as well as the size and display resolution IPS Retina.
The iPhone 4S was a real powerhouse: the Apple A5 SoC, which had already debuted on the iPad 2 a few months before, he had been chosen to power even the 4S and allowed to double the overall performance of the entire system.

Graphically the step forward was even clearer, and thanks to the dual-core chip PowerVR SGX 543MP2 the iPhone became a true portable game console, attracting the App Store some of the most important software companies in the world scene.
The remaining technical specifications included 512MB of RAM, photo sensor rear lenses 5 and 8 megapixel VGA front and a battery of 1430 mAh, which did not guarantee improvements autonomy.
We mentioned the assistant Siri voice.
Apple had the idea in 2010, when it bought the company that had developed Siri, already present on the App Store.
Since that time he worked to native integration of the app with iOS and in three years came out a beta that is not very convinced the experts and users: only available for iPhone 4S in English, French and German, many features were blocked and Cupertino did not seem quite ready to accommodate the numerous requests for "assistance".

Over the years the situation has greatly improved, both from the functional point of view and from that of the availability of new languages, but the enthusiasm with which he was greeted Siri has waned with time and does not seem to be upgrading in the future with interesting new features .
Steve Jobs was gone, but his greatest creation, Apple, was alive and well. The iPhone 4S conquered once again the market, was relentless and made competition more undecided than ever. 2011 was a year for Apple and heartbreaking for the new management team, but no one lose heart.
Since that time, without Steve Jobs , Tim Cook, John Ive, Phil Schiller, Eddy Cue and the rest of the team have been shown to have a clear plan for the rest of the adventure. After a year marked by sensational leak, Apple introduced the iPhone 5.
That was the time when iPhone began to take shape with the strategy of Tim Cook, who was the right arm of Jobs and his number one advisor number. The new CEO does not like surprises, is not as skilled and tech savvy as his predecessor, but was able to take hold firmly the company, renewing where necessary.
iPhone 5
The iPhone 5 was lighter, faster, more powerful and, above all, had a bigger screen size, equal to 4 inches, with a resolution of 1136x640 pixels.
Apple had simply increased the length of the phone, causing fewer problems than expected to developers. The display itself was more brilliant and sensitive to the touch thanks to the adoption of the technology in-cell (LCD panel and touch sensor form a single element).
The design was modified, though the square shape remained roughly the same, albeit with a reduced thickness. The weight decreased significantly, thanks to the use of a aluminum finely finished on the perimeter frames.
Apple once again proved to be unbeatable in the field of design. The hardware side was upgraded with Apple A6 chip, based on dual-core processor 1.2 GHz, triple-core GPU and 1GB of RAM.
Two times faster than the iPhone 4S, but with the same autonomy due to the battery of 1440 mAh.

The rear camera did not undergo revolutions worthy of note, while keeping the 8-megapixel sensor and the system to five lenses, better aligned to ensure a luminous output of the shots much better.
For the first time the iPhone could connect to the 4G LTE networks ultrafast, which ensured, at least theoretically, a navigation to 100mbps.

One of the most important innovations in hardware present in the iPhone 5 was the new Lightning connector, 80% smaller than the 30-pin with was in use for 10 years on iPod, iPad and iPhone.
Along with the new connector were also unveiled the new headphones EarPod, designed to deliver a high quality music. iOS 6 brought stability to the entire system, but it was the last software edited by Scott Forstall and, above all, was the last version to be characterized by the simulated objects of the physical world. In 2013, the iOS 7 replaced iOS6 which kick off the minimal revolution that soon transcend the world of Apple and will came to affect even the designers of competition.
