The iPhone is a series of hugely popular smartphones designed by Apple. As of this writing, Apple sells six iPhone models that differ in size, power, and price. This section explains the six models, their common features, and their differences to enable you to distinguish them and choose among them.

Understanding the Six iPhone Models

As of this writing, Apple sells six iPhone models:

• iPhone X, introduced in 2017. The iPhone X has the largest screen of the iPhone models and very thin bezels around the screen. The front camera, flash, and microphone are inset in the middle of the top edge of the screen. In the name, X is pronounced as “ten” rather than the letter.

• iPhone 8 and iPhone 8 Plus, also introduced in 2017. The iPhone 8 Plus is physically larger than the iPhone 8.

• iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus, introduced in 2016. As with the iPhone 8 models, the iPhone 7 Plus is physically larger than the iPhone 7.

• iPhone SE, introduced in 2016. The iPhone SE is the most compact iPhone.

All of the iPhone models except the iPhone X have the Home button, a physical button for navigation, below the screen. The iPhone X uses gestures instead of the Home button.

For the iPhone SE and most earlier iPhone models, the headset connects via the headphone socket. Each iPhone includes a USB power adapter and a Lightning-to-USB cable. Each iPhone uses a nano-SIM card to connect to cellular networks. Each iPhone except the iPhone X has a Touch ID fingerprint reader.

Each iPhone runs iOS 11, the latest operating system from Apple, which comes with a suite of built-in apps, such as the Safari web browser and the Mail e-mail app.

The iPhone X models come in two colors: black, which is matte rather than glossy; and silver. The iPhone 8 models and iPhone 7 models come in five colors: jet black, which is glossy; black, which is matte; silver; gold; and rose gold.
