IT’S been more than 15 years since the original iPhone came out – but do you remember every single model?

We’ve rounded up the full list of Apple smartphones over the years.

When did the first iPhone come out?

Apple announced the first iPhone on January 9, 2007.

It followed a significant period of rumour, speculation and plenty of doubt that it would be any good.

Ultimately, it was good – so much so that it changed the course of gadget history forever when it released in the US on June 29, 2007.

The first iPhone took about two years to fully develop, and lacked many of today’s popular Apple features – including an App Store.

But the iPhone evolved over many years, and is now a product powerhouse that’s recognisable all around the world.

What is the latest iPhone?

The latest flagship Apple smartphone is the iPhone 13.

It was unveiled on September 14, and released in stores on September 24.

There are four variants: iPhone 13, iPhone 13 mini, iPhone 13 Pro and iPhone 13 Pro Max.

Two special green versions of the iPhone 13 and iPhone 13 Pro were also released pin early 2022.

And a third-generation iPhone SE (a cheaper alternative to the iPhone 13) went on sale on March 18, 2022.

Later this year, we’re expecting the iPhone 14, which is likely to come in four different versions.
