iPhones

Introduction: The iPhone is a brand of smartphones that was designed and manufactured by Apple Inc. The iPhone can do many tasks and benefits the consumer whether in a business or entertainment matter. Along with that, there is a matter of ethical and legal issues that come along with the phone, but also that every product has. Security is a major question that comes along with this smartphone because almost everyone knows how to work an iPhone. iPhones are one of the most popular devices today and continue to become even better known around the world. With that, the research on the iPhone will be endless and the ways to improve the smartphone will always be in demand.

Background: The development of the iPhone began in 2004 when Apple combined 1,000 employees to work on the confidential project called “Project Purple”. Steve Jobs, Apple CEO, turned his entire focus from the tablet to this phone. He believed in this project so much that about 150 million dollars went into the production of the smartphone. In 2007, Steve Jobs unveiled the product at a convention called Macworld in San Francisco. Jobs released the phone for sale 20 days later. Countless numbers of customers waited outside of stores just to get their hands on this new, amazing device. Needless did they know that the phone would become one of the greatest projects of all time. A year later in 2008, the iPhone 3G was released into the market. Due to the fact that the iPhone 3G was too expensive for consumers, Apple introduced the iPhone 3GS which was sold at a much more convenient price. With the continued popularity, the new and improved iPhone 4 hit the market in 2010. The new smartphone was like no other version. It was a more modern, “features an aluminosilicate glass front and has a stainless steel edge serving as the antennas” (“What are IPhones”, 2011) and many other new apps. Such apps include FaceTime and IMessaging. The next model to be presented was the iPhone 4S which had all the same features as the iPhone 4 but included Siri, an intelligent assistant you control with your voice. Many swooned over the iPhone 5 that was released in 2012. It was a much more modern phone because it was long and sleek with the backing of the phone made different than the other models. The most recent release from Apple was the iPhone 5S and iPhones 5C on September 12, 2013 and featured IOS7, a new software.
