The top 10 iPhone event moments

It all started on January 9, 2007, when a visionary went on stage to present the last invention of his business. Certain criticisms published the large titles at the time and takeoff was far from guaranteed. Today, the device has become by far the influential of its category, many users considering it as the Order. This success dates back a series of transformations that the iPhone has suffered in the past two decades.

After launching the iOS App Store in 2008, Apple continued to significantly raise the experience of the iPhone. Each year, he made his debut on major hardware and software changes, attracting users to change or upgrade. Iphones were introduced on WWDC until 2010, when Steve Jobs presented the iPhone 4. It was to be the last time of Jobs at the head of an iPhone event.

From 2011, iPhones began to be introduced in the fall, starting with the introduction with Tim Cook of the iPhone 4S. Naturally, certain features, improvements and announcements have distinguished themselves more than others. Let’s take a trip to the past and revisit the 10 most emblematic iPhone event moments in the Tim Cook era.

Magsafe (iPhone 12)

Without doubt, Magsafe is the most recent introduction of an impactful iPhone. Launched in 2020, the function carried the favorite Mac charging technology to iPhone 12 models. It notably addressed the most irritating defect in the Qi wireless load. Thanks to the embedded magnets, the load coils now line up perfectly, which saves users to need to position their iPhones on the carpet with precision.

Magsafe also doubles as a universal base for accessories, allowing users to attach all kinds of additional modules to the backs of their iPhones. You have wallets, handles, food banks, footwear and much more. The impact of Magsafe transcended the Apple ecosystem, with new Android phones now adopting the comparable Qi2 standard to unlock similar advantages.

Pro camera system (iPhone 11)

A year earlier, Apple announced its first Pro brand iPhone, with high -end specifications for power users. The most distinctive factor of the iPhone 11 Pro has been (and continues to be) the triple reduction configuration, which unlocks advanced photography and videography tools. Although it does not support raw photography and video recording of newspapers as does new models, the 2019 iPhone 11 Pro marked the start of a new chapter for Apple’s mobile camera. We have reached a point where professional iPhones are now used to draw whole Apple keys.

Face ID (iPhone X)

In 2017, Apple celebrated the tenth anniversary of its smartphone with the iPhone X. The device has a complete exterior overhaul, with a OLED panel on board and a stainless steel frame. In particular, he withdrew the tack ID in favor of the more practical and secure front scanner. The identification of the TrueDepth camera then feeds the iPad Pro, and the MacBooks could adopt it on the road. It is over time to try to type passwords when our fingers are too wet for the fingerprint sensor to recognize them.

Moment of “courage” (iPhone 7)

A year before that, Apple has made another controversial change that continues to have an impact on how we use our phones to date. The 2016 iPhone 7 abandoned the headphone jack, disturbing the way users listen to music. To soften the blow, Apple has brought together a relevant dongle with the iPhone 7 and offered the original AirPods as a premium alternative for those who wish to spend more.

Phil Schiller d’Apple said it was summed up in a word: “courage”. He said that Apple had “the courage to move on and do something new that improves us all”.

The company was largely mocked at the time, but the manufacturers of Android phones followed suit, and the real wireless headphones exploded. At this stage, we have several AirPods levels with variable features and prices, as well as a ton of third -party alternatives.

Live photos (iPhone 6S)

With the launch of the iPhone 6S 2015, Apple announced a camera function nicknamed live photos. For those who are not familiar, the PERK records 1.5 seconds of video before and after each photo you take. Although the camera application can always a regular shoot, if you press and hold it on it, the short video plays. This helps you remember the context of a moment and to hear the voices or sounds captured at the time.

With live photos, you can also effortless GIF with several effects, as well as long exposure images. Applications like Instagram also support functionality, allowing you to become more creative with the stories you publish. This is one of these smallest additions that may seem a gadget at the start (there is a reason why the iPhone 11 slofies are not on this list), but live photos have proven to be an surprisingly useful feature that iPhone users cannot live without.

Apple Pay (iPhone 6)

During the 2014 iPhone 6 event, Apple Pay was announced as a revolutionary means of shopping without your physical wallet. The functionality uses the NFC chips integrated in recent iPhones and Apple watches, allowing you to make contactless payments without transportation without transporting your bank card. I always recognize silently how the whole concept feels futuristic each time I go up my wrist on a card reader to pay.

Go big or go home (iPhone 6)

Apple Pay was not the only significant announcement during the 2014 opening. The iPhone 6 itself launched the era of serious media consumption on iOS by stretching the 4.7-inch 4.7-inch screen. Most importantly, it offered the first iPhone Plus variant, exciting a 5.5 -inch screen. In addition, iPhones then took a break from 2018 to 2022, and Apple could delete them with September 9.

Meet Apple Watch (iPhone 6)

That’s not all for the iPhone 6 event. There was still one thing. During the Keynote in September 2014, the iPhone manufacturer publicly demonstrated the Apple Watch for the first time. Although the portable management has changed since then, it has become one of the best -selling smart watches – and certainly the most popular. Thanks to the deep ecosystem integrations of the company, the Apple Watch utility extends beyond the simple monitoring of physical condition. You can answer telephone calls, send SMS, broadcast music, interact with iOS notifications and do much more with the latest Watchos.

Touch ID (iPhone 5S)

In the previous iPhone event, Apple introduced Touch ID. The iPhone 5S in 2013 was certainly not the first smartphone to integrate a fingerprint sensor. Its execution, however, has exceeded everything that happened with non -intuitive Frankensteinging on the other side. I remember when the first Samsung Galaxy phones made you slide vertically to authenticate you. Touch ID, on the other hand, worked when it gently rested your finger on its reader.

Apple

Siri was born (iPhone 4S)

Despite aging like milk, we cannot mark the day Siri was born. On October 4, 2011, Apple launched the iPhone 4S, with the infamous virtual assistant. While Siri is now considered the most stupid public vocal assistant, he shines at the time. If Apple’s vision materializes, the assistant can become more intelligent and more conversational in the years to come.
