&lt;br /&gt;
== Early life ==&lt;br /&gt;
Prithika Yashini was born and brought up as Pradeep Kumar (a male name), the son of a driver-tailor couple in [[Salem, Tamil Nadu|Salem]], [[Tamil Nadu]]. She had a difficult childhood where her parents took her to temples, doctors, astrologers to &#039;set things right&#039;. When she was in ninth grade, she felt different and didn&#039;t feel like a boy.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;:0&amp;quot;&amp;gt;{{Cite news|url=http://www.thehindu.com/features/metroplus/society/meet-k-prithika-yashini-indias-first-transwoman-subinspector/article7933079.ece|title=There&#039;s no looking back|last=Kannadasan|first=Akila|date=2015-11-30|work=The Hindu|access-date=2017-10-28|language=en-IN|issn=0971-751X}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; She completed her undergraduation in computer applications.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{Cite news|url=https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/city/chennai/prithika-first-transgender-si-in-country-takes-charge/articleshow/57982654.cms|title=Prithika, first transgender SI in country, takes charge - Times of India|work=The Times of India|access-date=2017-10-28}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In 2011, she ran away to [[Chennai]], where she found acceptance and support in the transgender community of the city.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;:0&amp;quot; /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Career ==&lt;br /&gt;
She began her career in Chennai working as a warden in a women&#039;s hostel.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;:1&amp;quot;&amp;gt;{{Cite news|url=http://www.dnaindia.com/india/report-meet-k-prithika-yashini-india-s-first-transgender-si-2379291|title=Meet K Prithika Yashini, India&#039;s first transgender SI {{!}} Latest News &amp;amp; Updates at Daily News &amp;amp; Analysis|date=2017-04-03|work=dna|access-date=2017-10-28|language=en-US}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Yashini applied for recruitment as a sub-inspector of police to the [[Tamil Nadu]] Uniformed Services Recruitment Board (TNUSRB) to fill vacancies for 1087 posts. However, her application was rejected as being a trans woman because she did not belong to any of the two specified categories, namely, male or female. Subsequently, she challenged the decision of the TNUSRB in different courts, including the Madras High Court.    &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Accordingly, the High Court of Madras ordered to conduct a written test for her. The test for the recruitment comprises written test, physical endurance test and a viva-voce. With legal recourse in a competent court, she was able to lower the minimum cut-off marks for written test for such a recruitment from 28.5 to 25.00. She cleared all physical endurance tests except missing 100 meter dash by one second. However, she was testified successful in the physical endurance test.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In terms of judgement of the Madras High Court, which was delivered on 6 November 2015, directions were given to the Tamil Nadu Uniformed Services Recruitment Board (TNUSRB) to appoint K Prithika Yashini as a sub-inspector of police as she is &amp;quot;entitled to get the job&amp;quot;. The judgement further directed the TNUSRB to include transgender people as a &amp;quot;third category&amp;quot;, apart from the usual category of &amp;quot;male&amp;quot; and &amp;quot;female&amp;quot;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Yashini received the appointment order from Chennai City Police Commissioner Smith Saran in April 2017&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{Cite news|url=http://www.thebetterindia.com/94432/irst-transgender-sub-inspector-india/|title=India&#039;s First Transgender Sub-Inspector Takes Charge.

&lt;br /&gt;
== Early life and education==&lt;br /&gt;
Javaid Mustafa Mir was born in a political family in 1969. His father, Mir Mustafa, was elected as [[Member of the Legislative Assembly (India)|MLA]] from [[Chadoora (Vidhan Sabha constituency)]] twice in 1987 and 1990. He was abducted and assassinated by the militants after which Javaid started handling his family business until 2002 when his political journey began.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite web |title=Blow to PDP as senior leader Javed Mir quits |url=https://www.tribuneindia.com/news/archive/j-k/blow-to-pdp-as-senior-leader-javed-mir-quits-709377 |website=Tribuneindia News Service |language=en}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Political career==&lt;br /&gt;
Javaid Mustafa Mir started his political career in 2002, twelve years after his father’s assassination. His father&#039;s supporters encouraged Javaid for fighting the [[2002 Jammu and Kashmir Legislative Assembly election]]. He joined [[Jammu and Kashmir Peoples Democratic Party]] (PDP) who fielded Javaid from [[Chadoora (Vidhan Sabha constituency)]].&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ht&#039;/&amp;gt; He contested and won from  [[Chadoora (Vidhan Sabha constituency)]] with a huge margin.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite web |title=Shah Faesal Says His Party Is Open To Politicians With Unblemished Record |url=https://www.ndtv.com/india-news/shah-faesal-says-jkpm-jammu-and-kashmir-peoples-movement-is-open-to-politicians-with-unblemished-rec-2015663 |website=NDTV.com}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
After winning the 2002 Assembly elections, he was inducted as the [[Minister of State]] for Power Development Department up to 2005. In 2007, he became the [[Minister of State]] for [[Ministry of Rural Development (India)|Rural Development Department]], [[Panchayati Raj]], Science &amp;amp; Technology and Information Technology.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite web |title=Republic Day celebrated at Budgam {{!}} District Budgam , Government of Jammu &amp;amp; Kashmir {{!}} India |url=https://budgam.nic.in/event/republic-day-celebrated-at-budgam/ |website=budgam.nic.in}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In 2008 the government under the Chief Minister [[Ghulam Nabi Azad]] collapsed and in [[2008 Jammu and Kashmir Legislative Assembly election]], Mir was elected 2nd time [[Member of the Legislative Assembly (India)|MLA]] from [[Chadoora (Vidhan Sabha constituency)]]. During this term in the opposition, Mir was known in the Assembly for having a bold voice and as an honest personality.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite web |title=Jammu and Kashmir: Tassaduq Mufti, Javaid Mustafa Mir take oath as Ministers of the State |url=https://www.greaterkashmir.com/todays-paper/jammu-and-kashmir-tassaduq-mufti-javaid-mustafa-mir-take-oath-as-ministers-of-the-state |website=Greater Kashmir |language=en}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Javaid again fought the [[2014 Jammu and Kashmir Legislative Assembly election]] and emerged as a winner for the third term consecutively from [[Chadoora (Vidhan Sabha constituency)]]. After winning the elections, he was inducted into the [[Jammu and Kashmir Peoples Democratic Party|PDP]]-[[BJP]] cabinet led by then [[Chief Minister of Jammu and Kashmir]] [[Mufti Mohammad Sayeed]] and in 2015 he became [[Ministry of Finance (India)|Minister for Revenue]], which he maintained until January 2016 when the Chief Minister passed away and the government collapsed.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite web |title=Former minister Javed Mustafa Mir resigns from Mehbooba Mufti-led PDP |url=https://www.republicworld.com/india-news/politics/former-minister-javed-mustafa-mir-resigns-from-mehbooba-mufti-led-pdp.html |website=Republic World |language=en}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In 2017 he was again inducted into the cabinet as the Minister for Disaster Management &amp;amp; Relief Rehabilitation and Floriculture and was in office until 2018 when the government collapsed after the collation was disbanded.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite web |title=Jammu and Kashmir: Official Portal |url=https://www.jk.gov.in/jammukashmir/?q=content/mr-javaid-mustafa-mir |website=www.jk.gov.in}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Javaid left the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) in January 2019 after spending 18 years in it and joined the newly made [[Jammu &amp;amp; Kashmir People&#039;s Movement]] as the chairman and was later elected as the president of the party in 2020.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite web |title=Three-time legislator and ex-PDP leader Javed Mustafa Mir joins Faesal&#039;s JKPM |url=https://www.business-standard.com/article/pti-stories/three-time-legislator-and-ex-pdp-leader-javed-mustafa-mir-joins-faesal-s-jkpm-119032700691_1.html |website=Business Standard India |date=27 March 2019}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite web |title=Javed Mustafa Mir elected President of JKPM unanimously |url=https://kashmirpulse.com/politics/javed-mustafa-mir-elected-president-of-jkpm-unanimously/47074.html |website=The Kashmir Pulse |date=28 August 2020}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

==A curious query==&lt;br /&gt;
Hello Wiki Dwarf! I am an old user in English Wikipedia. When I tried to log in here with the same account and password, it failed. Btw, my queries are: 1) Is this wikipedia a part of Wikimedia sister projects? 2) Sometimes, I found some articles, though not original of here (I mean they seems to be imported from the simple English wikipedia),   does this mean that all the articles are imported? 3) Can I create my user account here and at the same time, can I create original articles here? Though articles with similar names exist in the en wikipedia? &lt;br /&gt;
[[Special:Contributions/47.29.19.238|47.29.19.238]] ([[User talk:47.29.19.238|talk]]) 00:04, 8 May 2021 (IST)&lt;br /&gt;
:{{re|47.29.19.238}} Hello there, Bharatpedia is an independent platform (please see [[Bharatpedia:General disclaimer]]) so you won&#039;t be able to login using your Wikipedia account details, but you may create a new account under the same username. Account creation is not required in order to read or edit this site, but if you wish to create new articles you can sign up with a new account and can create articles on notable topics, no matter if the particular article exists on Wikipedia under the same or similar name. Some articles here are imported from Wikipedia and you may notice a disclosure at the end of each page such as [[Achappam]] and if you can&#039;t find such disclosure, you can add one by placing &amp;lt;code&amp;gt;&amp;lt;nowiki&amp;gt;{{en-Wikipedia}}&amp;lt;/nowiki&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/code&amp;gt; at the end of the article.

:::Finally, I read the article you cited. Next, 4) Is it mandatory for me to create my new user account here with the exactly same username from the wikipedia org? Next, 5) Do I need special permission to edit, create an article here? 6) Like wikipedia, can I perform edits here normally? 7) Can I import article from the wikipedia? For that, do I need special rights or powers here? I mean all these in good faith. And I have a strong desire to have my service here.

==A curious query==&lt;br /&gt;
Hello Wiki Dwarf! I am an old user in English Wikipedia. When I tried to log in here with the same account and password, it failed. Btw, my queries are: 1) Is this wikipedia a part of Wikimedia sister projects? 2) Sometimes, I found some articles, though not original of here (I mean they seems to be imported from the simple English wikipedia),   does this mean that all the articles are imported? 3) Can I create my user account here and at the same time, can I create original articles here? Though articles with similar names exist in the en wikipedia? &lt;br /&gt;
[[Special:Contributions/47.29.19.238|47.29.19.238]] ([[User talk:47.29.19.238|talk]]) 00:04, 8 May 2021 (IST)&lt;br /&gt;
:{{re|47.29.19.238}} Hello there, Bharatpedia is an independent platform (please see [[Bharatpedia:General disclaimer]]) so you won&#039;t be able to login using your Wikipedia account details, but you may create a new account under the same username. Account creation is not required in order to read or edit this site, but if you wish to create new articles you can sign up with a new account and can create articles on notable topics, no matter if the particular article exists on Wikipedia under the same or similar name. Some articles here are imported from Wikipedia and you may notice a disclosure at the end of each page such as [[Achappam]] and if you can&#039;t find such disclosure, you can add one by placing &amp;lt;code&amp;gt;&amp;lt;nowiki&amp;gt;{{en-Wikipedia}}&amp;lt;/nowiki&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/code&amp;gt; at the end of the article.

:::Finally, I read the article you cited. Next, 4) Is it mandatory for me to create my new user account here with the exactly same username from the wikipedia org? Next, 5) Do I need special permission to edit, create an article here? 6) Like wikipedia, can I perform edits here normally? 7) Can I import article from the wikipedia?

== Review Timeline ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Hi {{u|WikiDwarf}}, I am planning to introduce a good amount of fashion and film people articles to this place. I have auto petrol rights in English Wikipedia so I know what I am doing. I just want to know, what are the indexing/review timelines here. This is just for a better understanding of the process. [[User:Kingfisher|Kingfisher]] ([[User talk:Kingfisher|talk]]) 14:50, 29 May 2021 (IST)&lt;br /&gt;
:Hello {{re|Kingfisher}} and thank you for your interest. First of all, there is no fixed timeline for the review process since we have very few reviewers at the moment. Secondly, I will be glad to grant you the same user right(s) that you have on Wikipedia if you can share the details for verification purpose. If you don&#039;t want to disclose it publicly for any reason you can mail me. [[User:WikiDwarf|WikiDwarf]] ([[User talk:WikiDwarf#top|talk]]) 15:35, 29 May 2021 (IST)&lt;br /&gt;
:: Here is my user rights screen in en.wikipedia.org. https://tinyurl . com/ykxumuxm. I can&#039;t reveal my username because Wiki people keep an eye on everywhere. I find it risky. You can give me the rights for a temporary period and see the work or you may wait. Whatever it is, I am feeling excited about this project. The opportunities are endless. [[User:Kingfisher|Kingfisher]] ([[User talk:Kingfisher|talk]]) 17:14, 30 May 2021 (IST)&lt;br /&gt;

:Hello {{u|Positivesoul}}, In order to reuse contents from one site to another, you need to provide attribution.

The &#039;&#039;&#039;iPhone&#039;&#039;&#039; is a line of [[smartphone]]s designed and marketed by [[Apple Inc.]] that use Apple&#039;s [[iOS]] [[mobile operating system]]. The [[iPhone (1st generation)|first-generation iPhone]] was announced by former Apple [[Chief executive officer|CEO]] [[Steve Jobs]] on January 9, 2007. Since then Apple has annually released new iPhone models and iOS updates. As of November 1, 2018, more than 2.2 billion iPhones had been sold.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The iPhone has a [[user interface]] built around a [[multi-touch]] screen. It connects to [[cellular network]]s or [[Wi-Fi]], and can make [[Telephone call|calls]], [[web browser|browse the web]], [[camera phone|take pictures]], [[portable media player|play music]] and send and receive [[email]]s and [[text messaging|text messages]]. Since the iPhone&#039;s launch further features have been added, including larger screen sizes, [[video camera|shooting video]], [[waterproofing]], the ability to install third-party [[mobile app]]s through an [[app store]], and many [[Computer accessibility|accessibility]] features. Up to 2017, iPhones used a layout with a single button on the front panel that returns the user to the [[Springboard (iPhone)|home screen]]. Since 2017, more expensive iPhone models have switched to a nearly [[Screen bezel|bezel]]-less front screen design with app switching activated by [[gesture recognition]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The iPhone is one of the two largest smartphone [[Computing platform|platforms]] in the world alongside [[Android (operating system)|Android]], forming a large part of the [[Luxury goods|luxury market]]. The iPhone has generated large profits for Apple, making it one of the world&#039;s [[List of public corporations by market capitalization|most valuable publicly traded companies]]. The first-generation iPhone was described as &amp;quot;revolutionary&amp;quot; and a &amp;quot;game-changer&amp;quot; for the mobile phone industry and subsequent models have also garnered praise. The iPhone has been credited with popularizing the smartphone and [[slate phone|slate form factor]], and with creating a large market for smartphone apps, or &amp;quot;[[Mobile app development|app economy]]&amp;quot;. {{As of|2017|1}}, Apple&#039;s [[App Store (iOS)|App Store]] contained more than 2.2&amp;amp;nbsp;million applications for the iPhone.&lt;br /&gt;

On July 22, 2013, the company&#039;s suppliers said that Apple is testing out larger screens for the iPhone and iPad. &amp;quot;Apple has asked for prototype smartphone screens larger than {{convert|4|in|mm}} and has also asked for screen designs for a new tablet device measuring slightly less than {{convert|13|in|mm}} diagonally, they said.&amp;quot;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite web |first=Darrell |last=Etherington |title=Apple Reportedly Testing Bigger iPhone And iPad Screens, Starting Production On New 9.7&amp;quot; iPad |url=https://techcrunch.com/2013/07/22/apple-reportedly-testing-bigger-iphone-and-ipad-screens-starting-production-on-new-9-7-ipad/ |publisher=[[TechCrunch]] |date=July 22, 2013 |access-date=March 23, 2017}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

On September 10, 2013, Apple unveiled two new iPhone models during a press event in Cupertino. The iPhone 5C, a mid-range-priced version of the handset that is designed to increase accessibility due to its price is available in five colors (green, blue, yellow, pink, and white) and is made of plastic. The iPhone 5S comes in three colors (black, white, and gold) and the home button is replaced with a fingerprint scanner (Touch ID). Both phones shipped on September 20, 2013.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;cbc two phones released 1&amp;quot;&amp;gt;{{cite news|url=http://www.cbc.ca/news/technology/story/2013/09/10/technology-apple-iphone-event.html|title=Apple unveils 2 new iPhones including cheaper model|publisher=[[CBC News]]|date=September 10, 2013|access-date=September 10, 2013}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
On September 9, 2014, Apple revealed the iPhone 6 and the iPhone 6 Plus at an event in Cupertino. Both devices had a larger screen than their predecessor, at {{convert|4.7|in|mm}} and {{convert|5.5|in|mm}} respectively.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite news |first1=Dominic |last1=Rushe |first2=Alex |last2=Hern |first3=Samuel |last3=Gibbs |first4=Stuart |last4=Dredge |title=The Apple Watch, iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus – as it happened |url=https://www.theguardian.com/technology/live/2014/sep/09/apple-announcement-iphone-6-iwatch-ios8-event-live |work=[[The Guardian]] |date=September 9, 2014 |access-date=March 23, 2017}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
After the iPhone 6 and 6 Plus was released, some users started complaining about the 6 and 6 Plus bending from normal use. This trend became known as &amp;quot;Bendgate&amp;quot;,&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{Cite web|last=Sacco|first=Al|date=2014-09-29|title=Apple (Mostly) Not to Blame in iPhone 6 Plus &#039;Bendgate&#039; Fiasco|url=https://www.cio.com/article/2688437/apple-mostly-not-to-blame-in-iphone-6-plus-bendgate-fiasco.html|access-date=2021-05-28|website=CIO|language=en}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; which later started &amp;quot;Touch Disease.&amp;quot; However, they released the iPhone 6S and 6S Plus, a more bend ressistant iPhone than the 6 and 6 Plus, to solve this issue.&lt;br /&gt;

The XS and XS Max feature an improved Super Retina Display with Dolby Vision and HDR10 support with the XS Max featuring a larger {{convert|6.5|in|mm}} display, improved cameras with Smart HDR, and the A12 Bionic chip. The iPhone XS and XS Max are [[IP Code|IP68]] water, liquid, and dust resistant which allow the devices to be submerged in up to 2 meters for a duration of 30 minutes, while iPhone XR retained the IP67 certification found in the first-generation iPhone X and also features an IPS LCD display instead of the OLED displays found in the higher-end models. The iPhone XS/XS Max&#039;s IP68 certifications were tested using various [[liquid]]s such as [[Water chlorination|chlorinated-water]], saltwater, [[tea]], [[wine]], [[beer]], and [[juices]]. Apple also announced the fourth generation of Apple Watch, the [[Apple Watch Series 4]].&lt;br /&gt;

==Production==&lt;br /&gt;
Up to the [[iPhone 4]], all iPhone models, as well as other [[iOS device]]s were manufactured exclusively by [[Foxconn]], based in [[Taiwan]]. In 2011, after [[Tim Cook]] became CEO of the company, Apple changed its outsourcing strategy, for the first time increasing its supply partners. The [[iPhone 4s]] in 2012 was the first model to be manufactured simultaneously by two stand-alone companies: Foxconn and [[Pegatron]], both based in Taiwan. Although Foxconn is still responsible for the larger share of production, Pegatron&#039;s orders have been slowly increased, with the company being tasked with producing a part of the [[iPhone 5C]] line in 2013, and 30% of the [[iPhone 6]] devices in 2014. The 6 Plus model was produced solely by Foxconn.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite web|title=Taiwan&#039;s Pegatron to get most iPhone 6S orders in 2015: brokerage|url=http://focustaiwan.tw/news/aeco/201412020006.aspx|publisher=Focus Taiwan|access-date=December 9, 2014}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; In 2019, there were reports stating that some of Foxconn&#039;s managers had used rejected parts to build iPhones, and that Apple was investigating the issue.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{Cite web|url=https://9to5mac.com/2019/12/18/iphones-made-from-rejected-parts/|title=$43M fraud by Foxconn managers selling iPhones made from rejected parts|first=Ben|last=Lovejoy|date=December 18, 2019|website=9to5Mac}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; In [[India]], Apple contracts [[Wistron]], a Taiwan-based manufacturer with a plant located near [[Bangalore]], to assemble iPhones to sell in the region.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite news |title=Arrests as Indian workers ransack iPhone plant over wages |url=https://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-india-55296433 |work=BBC News |date=December 14, 2020}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

==Hardware==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Screen and input===&lt;br /&gt;
The [[touchscreen]] on the first five generations is a {{convert|3.5|in|mm|-1}} [[liquid crystal display]] with scratch-resistant glass; The one on the iPhone 5, 5C, 5S, and first generation SE is {{convert|4|in|mm}};  The size of the iPhone 6, 6S, 7, 8, and second generation SE is {{convert|4.7|in|mm}}; the iPhone 6 Plus, 6S Plus, 7 Plus, and 8 Plus is {{convert|5.5|in|mm}}; The iPhone X, XS, and 11 Pro with {{convert|5.8|in|mm}}; The iPhone XR, and 11 with {{convert|6.1|in|mm}}; and the iPhone XS Max and 11 Pro Max with {{convert|6.5|in|mm}}.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;jun18PressRelease&amp;quot; /&amp;gt; The [[capacitive touchscreen]] is designed for a bare finger, or multiple fingers for [[multi-touch]] sensing. The screens on the first three generations have a resolution of 320×480 ([[HVGA]]) at 163&amp;amp;nbsp;[[pixel density|ppi]]; those on the [[iPhone 4]] and [[iPhone 4S]] have a resolution of 640×960 at 326&amp;amp;nbsp;ppi; the {{convert|4|in|mm}} models, with 640×1136 at 326&amp;amp;nbsp;ppi; the {{convert|4.7|in|mm}} models, with 750×1334 at 326&amp;amp;nbsp;ppi; the {{convert|5.5|in|mm}} models, with 1080×1920 at 401&amp;amp;nbsp;ppi; and the {{convert|5.8|in|mm}} model X, with 1125×2436 at 458&amp;amp;nbsp;ppi. The initial models were using [[twisted nematic|twisted-nematic (TN) LCDs]]. Starting with iPhone 4, the technology was changed to [[IPS panel|in-plane switching (IPS) LCDs]]. The iPhone 5 model&#039;s screen results in an aspect ratio of approximately 16:9. The [[iPhone X]] is the first iPhone to use an [[OLED]] display. It has a near bezel-less screen with a ≈19.5:9 aspect ratio.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{Cite web|url=https://www.apple.com/iphone-x/specs/|title=iPhone X – Technical Specifications|publisher=Apple Inc.|access-date=2017-09-14}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

[[File:Iphone back.jpg|thumb|The backs of a gold [[iPhone 6S]], a silver [[iPhone 6 Plus]], and a rose gold iPhone 6S.]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The iPhone has a minimal hardware user interface, with most models featuring five [[Push-button|buttons]]. The only physical menu button is situated directly below the display and is called the &amp;quot;Home button&amp;quot; because its primary function is to close the active app and navigates to the home screen of the interface. Earlier models included a [[Squircle|rounded square]], reminiscent of the shape of icons on the home screen, however, new models which include Apple&#039;s [[fingerprint recognition]] feature [[Touch ID]] (which use the Home button as the fingerprint sensor) have no symbol. The [[iPhone X]] and later with the exception of the [[iPhone SE (2nd generation)]] don&#039;t have a Home button but instead [[Face ID]], a facial recognition authentication method.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite news|last1=Gibbs|first1=Samuel|title=iPhone X: new Apple smartphone dumps home button for all-screen design|url=https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2017/sep/12/iphone-x-release-date-apple-home-button-screen|work=[[The Guardian]]|access-date=September 12, 2017|date=September 12, 2017}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A multi-function sleep/wake button is located on top of the device on earlier models. In the newer models starting with the iPhone 6, it is on right of the device. It serves as the unit&#039;s power button, and also controls [[#Phone|phone calls]]. When a call is received, pressing the sleep/wake button once silences the ringtone, and when pressed twice transfers the call to voicemail. Situated on the left spine are the volume adjustment controls. The iPhone 4 has two separate circular buttons to increase and decrease the volume; all earlier models house two switches under a single plastic panel, known as a rocker switch, which could reasonably be counted as either one or two buttons.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Directly above the volume controls is a ring/silent switch that when engaged mutes telephone ringing, alert sounds from new &amp;amp; sent emails, text messages, and other push notifications, camera shutter sounds, Voice Memo sound effects, phone lock/unlock sounds, keyboard clicks, and spoken auto-corrections. This switch does not mute alarm sounds from the Clock application, and in some countries or regions it will not mute the camera shutter or Voice Memo sound effects.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;[http://manuals.info.apple.com/en_US/iphone_user_guide.pdf manuals.info.apple.com/en_US/iphone_user_guide.pdf] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120308105745/http://manuals.info.apple.com/en_US/iPhone_User_Guide.pdf |date=March 8, 2012 }}. (PDF). Retrieved November 6, 2011.&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; All buttons except Home were made of plastic on the original first-generation iPhone and metal on all later models. The touchscreen furnishes the remainder of the [[#Interface|user interface]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A software update in January 2008&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;Update 1.1.3&amp;quot;/&amp;gt; allowed the first-generation iPhone to use cell tower and Wi-Fi network locations [[trilateration]],&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite web|url=http://www.howardforums.com/printthread.php?t=1383413|title=Memo: iPhone does not use triangulation|last=XFF |display-authors=etal |date=June 13, 2008|publisher=HowardForums|access-date=June 1, 2009}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; despite lacking [[Global Positioning System|GPS]] hardware. Since the iPhone 3G generation, the iPhone employs [[Assisted GPS|A-GPS]] operated by the United States. Since the iPhone 4S generation the device also supports the [[GLONASS]] global positioning system, which is operated by Russia. Since the iPhone 8 it supports [[Galileo (satellite navigation)|Galileo]].&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{Cite web|url=https://galileognss.eu/is-your-phone-using-galileo/|title=Is your phone using Galileo? {{!}} GALILEO|access-date=2019-08-16}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

====3D Touch and Haptic Touch====&lt;br /&gt;
{{Main|Force Touch}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The [[IPhone 6S|iPhone 6S and 6S Plus]], introduced in 2015, feature [[Force Touch|3D Touch]] displays which allow the screen to recognize how hard it is being pressed using pressure-sensitive multi-touch technology, and a new Taptic Engine to provide haptic feedback.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite web |last1=Betters |first1=Elyse |title=What is Force Touch?

An example of how this technology was used is lightly pressing the screen to preview a photograph and deeply pressing to open it, a feature dubbed &#039;Peek and Pop&#039; by Apple.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{Cite web|date=2015-12-04|title=iPhone 6s - 3D Touch - Apple|url=http://www.apple.com/iphone-6s/3d-touch/|access-date=2021-01-07|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20151204044155/http://www.apple.com/iphone-6s/3d-touch/|archive-date=December 4, 2015}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
All iPhones starting with the iPhone 6s (with the exception of the [[IPhone SE (1st generation)|first-generation iPhone SE]] and [[iPhone XR]]&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite web |title=Does the iPhone XR have 3D Touch? {{!}} The iPhone FAQ |url=https://www.iphonefaq.org/archives/976797 |website=www.iphonefaq.org }}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;) had this feature. Starting in 2019 however, 3D Touch was omitted on all iPhones starting with the [[iPhone 11]]/[[iPhone 11 Pro]], and its software features were removed from [[iOS 13]] and later in favour of Haptic Touch. Haptic Touch retains much of the functionality of 3D Touch but cannot detect pressure, as the display lacks integrated capacitive sensors. Actions that previously required a deep press now only require a long press, and the haptic feedback is no longer associated with the applied pressure but rather the touch duration. Due to the migration from 3D Touch to Haptic Touch, all [[iPad]] models that can update to [[iPadOS 13]], along with the [[iPhone SE (1st generation)|first-generation iPhone SE]] and [[IPod Touch (7th generation)|seventh-generation iPod touch]], which previously did not support 3D Touch, gained similar Haptic Touch functionality with the iOS 13 and iPadOS 13 updates, although without any haptic feedback.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Sensors===&lt;br /&gt;
{{More citations needed section|date=December 2017}}&lt;br /&gt;
iPhones feature a number of sensors, which are used to adjust the screen based on operating conditions, enable motion-controlled games, [[location-based service]]s, unlock the phone, and authenticate purchases with [[Apple Pay]], among many other things.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Proximity sensor====&lt;br /&gt;
A [[proximity sensor]] deactivates the display and [[touchscreen]] when the device is brought near the face during a call. This is done to save battery power and to prevent inadvertent inputs from the user&#039;s face and ears.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{Cite web|url=https://www.businessinsider.com/how-to-turn-off-proximity-sensor-iphone|title=How to fix or reset the proximity sensor on your iPhone if it&#039;s not working properly|last=John|first=Steven|website=Business Insider|access-date=2019-11-13|date=August 20, 2019}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; The iPhone&#039;s proximity sensors detect the ear and switches off the light, saving power and stopping the face from unintentionally pressing buttons. A phone case, dirt or grime, or a software problem may cause the proximity sensor to malfunction.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{Cite web|last=John|first=Steven|title=How to fix or reset the proximity sensor on your iPhone if it&#039;s not working properly|url=https://www.businessinsider.com/how-to-turn-off-proximity-sensor-iphone|access-date=2021-05-15|website=Business Insider|language=en-US}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Ambient light sensor====&lt;br /&gt;
An [[photodetector|ambient light sensor]] adjusts the display brightness which saves battery power and prevents the screen from being too bright or too dark.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{Cite web|url=https://www.lifewire.com/sensors-that-make-iphone-so-cool-2000370|title=All About the Sensors That Make the iPhone So Cool|last=Costello|first=Sam|date=12 September 2019|website=Lifewire|language=en|access-date=2019-11-13}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; True Tone, which is activated by default, uses advanced sensors to change the colour and intensity of the iPhone screen to match the ambient light, resulting in more natural-looking images. The [[ambient light sensor]] decides how much light is available around the iPhone and other apple products, such as the iPod and iPad. The device changes the screen brightness automatically based on this knowledge to save battery life and minimize eye strain.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;Facebook&amp;quot;&amp;gt;{{Cite web|last=Costello|first=Sam|title=All About the Sensors That Make the iPhone So Cool|url=https://www.lifewire.com/sensors-that-make-iphone-so-cool-2000370|access-date=2021-05-15|website=Lifewire|language=en}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Accelerometer====&lt;br /&gt;
A 3-axis [[accelerometer]] senses the orientation of the phone and changes the screen accordingly, allowing the user to easily switch between [[page orientation|portrait and landscape]] mode.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite news|last=Johnson|first=R. Collin|url=http://www.eetimes.com/showArticle.jhtml?articleID=200900669|title=There&#039;s more to MEMS than meets the iPhone|work=[[EE Times]]|date=July 9, 2007|access-date=June 6, 2008|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070929095647/http://www.eetimes.com/showArticle.jhtml?articleID=200900669|archive-date=September 29, 2007}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; Photo browsing, web browsing, and music playing support both upright and left or right widescreen orientations.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite web|url=https://www.apple.com/ipodtouch/guidedtour/tour/medium.html|title=iPod touch&amp;amp;nbsp;– A Guided Tour|publisher=Apple Inc.|access-date=September 23, 2008|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080514121314/http://www.apple.com/ipodtouch/guidedtour/tour/medium.html &amp;lt;!-- Bot retrieved archive --&amp;gt;|archive-date=May 14, 2008}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; Unlike the [[iPad]], the iPhone does not rotate the screen when turned upside-down, with the Home button above the screen, unless the running program has been specifically designed to do so. The 3.0 update added landscape support for still other applications, such as email, and introduced shaking the unit as a form of input (generally for [[undo]] functionality).&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;3.0 official&amp;quot; /&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;3.0 Macworld&amp;quot; /&amp;gt; The accelerometer can also be used to control [[#Third-party applications|third-party apps]], notably games. It is also used for fitness tracking purposes, primarily as a [[pedometer]]. Starting with the iPhone 5S, this functionality was included in the M7 [[Motion coprocessor]] and subsequent revisions of the embedded chip.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Magnetometer====&lt;br /&gt;
A [[magnetometer]] is built-in since the iPhone 3GS, which is used to measure the strength and direction of the magnetic field in the vicinity of the device. Sometimes certain devices or radio signals can interfere with the magnetometer requiring users to either move away from the interference or re-calibrate by moving the device in a figure-eight motion. Since the iPhone 3GS, the iPhone also features a Compass app, which was unique at time of release, showing a compass that points in the direction of the magnetic field.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Gyroscopic sensor====&lt;br /&gt;
Since the iPhone 4, the 4th Generation iPod touch, and the iPad 2, a three-axis gyroscope was included. This sensor will run on six axes due to the combination of a gyroscope and an accelerometer. One of the main reasons of the implementation was to enhance gaming mechanics such as the sensitivity and responsiveness aspects. It is compatible with iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;Facebook&amp;quot;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==== Radio ====&lt;br /&gt;
Some previous iPhone models contained a chip capable of receiving [[radio|radio signals]];&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite journal|url=https://www.wired.com/2016/07/phones-fm-chips-radio-smartphone/|title=Your Phone Has an FM Chip. So Why Can&#039;t You Listen to the Radio? |journal=[[Wired (magazine)|Wired]]|date=July 8, 2016 |last1=Glaser |first1=April }}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; however, Apple has the FM radio feature switched off because there was no antenna connected to the chip. Later iterations of the iPhone (starting with the iPhone 7), however, do not contain radio chips at all.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{Cite news|url=https://9to5mac.com/2017/09/28/iphone-7-iphone-8-fm-radio-features/|title=Apple says iPhone 7 and iPhone 8 do not contain FM radio chips or antennas, in response to FCC request|date=2017-09-28|work=9to5Mac|access-date=2017-11-17}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; A campaign called &amp;quot;Free Radio On My Phone&amp;quot; was started to encourage cellphone manufacturers such as Apple to enable the radio on the phones they manufacture, reasons cited were that radio drains less power and is useful in an emergency such as the [[2016 Fort McMurray Wildfire]].&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite web|url=http://www.cbc.ca/news/business/fm-radio-cellphone-telecoms-1.3577447|title=Broadcasters push for unlocked radio on smartphones that won&#039;t drain your data|last=Harris|first=Sophia|date=May 15, 2016|publisher=Canadian Broadcasting Corporation}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==== Fingerprint sensor ====&lt;br /&gt;
Until 2017, iPhone models starting from [[iPhone 5S]] (excluding the [[iPhone 5C]]) featured Apple&#039;s [[fingerprint recognition]] sensor. It is used for unlocking the device and authenticating Apple Pay purchases (since the [[iPhone 6]]) using [[Touch ID]]. It is located in the home button. Touch ID has been replaced by Face ID (excluding the [[iPhone SE (2nd generation)]]), starting with the [[iPhone X]]. The fingerprint sensor uses the user&#039;s biometric information to give the user quick access to the device. It can also be used to open applications and approve transactions. It&#039;s compatible with iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==== Barometer ====&lt;br /&gt;
Included on the [[iPhone 6]] and later (excluding the [[iPhone SE (1st generation)]]), a [[barometer]] is used to determine air pressure and elevation.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite web|url=http://www.iphonetricks.org/iphone-6-barometer-sensor-features/|title=iPhone 6 Barometer Sensor Features {{!}} iPhoneTricks.org|website=www.iphonetricks.org|access-date=February 19, 2017}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; This sensor is used to provide position and navigational features by determining the altitude through evaluating air pressure. The barometers will allow the device to be pinpointed.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==== Facial recognition sensor ====&lt;br /&gt;
Starting with the [[iPhone X]], a [[facial recognition system|facial recognition]] sensor, named the TrueDepth camera system, is featured. It is used for unlocking the device and for authenticating purchases using [[Face ID]]. It can also be used for [[Animoji]]s and [[augmented reality|AR]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Audio and output===&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Bottom of iPhone.jpg|thumb|From left to right is the headphone jack, microphone, Lightning connector, and built-in speaker on the base of the iPhone 5S.]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
On the bottom of the iPhone, there is a speaker to the left of the dock connector and a microphone to the right. There is an additional loudspeaker above the screen that serves as an earpiece during phone calls. The iPhone 4 includes an additional [[Noise-canceling microphone|microphone]] at the top of the unit for [[noise cancellation]], and switches the placement of the microphone and speaker on the base on the unit—the speaker is on the right.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;4_tech_specs&amp;quot;&amp;gt;{{cite web|title=Apple&amp;amp;nbsp;– iPhone 4&amp;amp;nbsp;– Size, weight, battery life, and other specs|url=https://www.apple.com/iphone/specs.html|publisher=Apple Inc.|access-date=July 1, 2010|archive-url=https://www.webcitation.org/5quBTT6io?url=http://www.apple.com/iphone/specs.html|archive-date=July 1, 2010}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; Volume controls are located on the left side of all iPhone models and as a slider in the iPod application.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The 3.5&amp;amp;nbsp;mm [[TRRS connector]]&amp;lt;!-- Not a typo, two Rs --&amp;gt; for the headphones is located on the top left corner of the device for the first five generations (original through 4S), after which time it was moved to the bottom left corner.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;TRRS&amp;quot;&amp;gt;{{cite web|url=http://encyclopedia2.thefreedictionary.com/Tip+and+ring|title=tip and ring|publisher=The Computer Language Company Inc.|access-date=March 15, 2009}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; The headphone socket on the first-generation iPhone is recessed into the casing, making it incompatible with most headsets without the use of an adapter.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;CNET original iPhone review&amp;quot;/&amp;gt; Subsequent generations eliminated the problem by using a flush-mounted headphone socket. Cars equipped with an [[electrical connector|auxiliary jack]] allow handsfree use of the iPhone while driving as a substitute for [[Bluetooth]]. The iPhone 7 and later have no 3.5&amp;amp;nbsp;mm headphone jack,&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;apple.com&amp;quot;&amp;gt;{{cite web|url=https://www.apple.com/iphone-7/specs/|title=iPhone 7 – Technical Specifications|publisher=Apple Inc.|access-date=October 20, 2016}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; and instead headsets must connect to the iPhone by [[Bluetooth]], use Apple&#039;s [[Lightning (connector)|Lightning port]] (which has replaced the 3.5&amp;amp;nbsp;mm headphone jack), or (for traditional headsets) use the Lightning to 3.5&amp;amp;nbsp;mm headphone jack adapter, which is included with iPhone 7 up until iPhone X and plugs into the Lightning port. This adapter is available for purchase at several leading retailers.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{Cite web|url=https://9to5mac.com/2016/09/07/apple-to-sell-replacement-lightning-to-3-5mm-headphone-adapter-for-9/|title=Apple to sell replacement Lightning to 3.5mm headphone adapter for $9|first=Chance|last=Miller|date=September 7, 2016}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Apple&#039;s own [[headset (audio)|headset]] has a multipurpose button near the microphone that can play or pause music, skip tracks, and answer or end phone calls without touching the iPhone. Some third-party headsets designed for the iPhone also include the microphone and control button.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;Review: iPhone headsets&amp;quot;&amp;gt;{{cite web|url=http://www.macworld.com/article/133445/2008/05/iphoneheadsets.html|title=Review: iPhone headsets|last=Frakes|first=Dan|date=May 14, 2008|work=Macworld|access-date=January 10, 2009}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; The current headsets also provide volume controls, which are only compatible with more recent models.&amp;lt;!-- 3GS &amp;amp; 4 --&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;Earbuds with volume&amp;quot;&amp;gt;{{cite web|url=http://store.apple.com/us/product/MB770G/B?fnode=MTY1NDA1MA&amp;amp;mco=MTM3NTI1ODk|title=Apple Earphones with Remote and Mic|publisher=Apple Store|access-date=May 19, 2009}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; A fourth ring in the audio jack carries this extra information.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The built-in [[Bluetooth 2.0 + EDR|Bluetooth 2.x+EDR]] supports wireless earpieces and headphones, which requires the [[Bluetooth profile#Headset Profile (HSP)|HSP]] [[Bluetooth profile|profile]].

===Battery===&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:IPhone Internals.jpg|thumb|Replacing the battery requires disassembling the iPhone unit and exposing the internal hardware]]&lt;br /&gt;
The iPhone features an internal rechargeable [[lithium-ion battery]].

&lt;br /&gt;
Apple runs tests on preproduction units to determine battery life. Apple&#039;s website says that the battery life &amp;quot;is designed to retain up to 80% of its original capacity after 500 complete charge cycles&amp;quot;.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{Cite web|title=Batteries - Service and Recycling|url=https://www.apple.com/batteries/service-and-recycling/|access-date=2021-01-08|website=Apple|language=en-US}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The battery life of early models of the iPhone has been criticized by several technology journalists as insufficient and less than Apple&#039;s claims.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite web |first=Jacqui |last=Cheng |title=The Second Coming: Ars goes in-depth with the iPhone 3G |url=https://arstechnica.com/apple/2008/07/iphone3g-review/6/ |website=[[Ars Technica]] |date=July 14, 2008 |access-date=March 23, 2017}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite web|url=https://gizmodo.com/5024412/iphone-3g-review|title=iPhone 3G Review|author-link=Brian Lam|first=Brian|last=Lam|work=[[Gizmodo]]|date=July 11, 2008|access-date=June 23, 2009}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite news|url=https://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2008/07/09/AR2008070900177.html|title=First iPhone 3G Reviews: Mossberg: Battery &#039;Significant Problem&#039;; Pogue: Limited 3G, Good Audio|author=Kramer, Staci D.|work=[[The Washington Post]]|date=July 9, 2008|access-date=June 23, 2009}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite news|url=http://ptech.allthingsd.com/20080708/newer-faster-cheaper-iphone-3g|title=Newer, Faster, Cheaper iPhone 3G|author-link=Walter Mossberg|first=Walt|last=Mossberg|work=[[All Things Digital]]|date=July 8, 2008|access-date=June 23, 2009}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; This is also reflected by a [[J.

Since [[iOS 10]].2.1, Apple has instituted a [[Batterygate|policy]] of employing &amp;quot;performance management&amp;quot; techniques (including [[Dynamic frequency scaling|CPU throttling]]) on iPhone devices whose batteries are degraded, in order to maintain device stability and prolong their lifespan. These changes came in the wake of reported issues with unexpected shutdowns on certain iPhone models following the release of iOS 10.1.1. In response to criticism over the practice, including concerns over this being a form of [[planned obsolescence]], Apple announced that it would offer discounted battery replacements for iPhone 6 and newer in 2018, and that it would add additional battery health information on a future version of iOS ([[iOS 11]].3, which also allows users to disable this throttling).&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{Cite web|url=https://www.zdnet.com/article/apple-slowing-down-older-iphones-to-prevent-battery-issues/|title=Apple: Some older iPhones slowed to prevent battery issues|last=Smith|first=Jake|website=ZDNet|language=en|access-date=2019-09-09}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;verge-iosreplacement&amp;quot;&amp;gt;{{Cite web|url=https://www.theverge.com/2017/12/28/16827248/apple-iphone-battery-replacement-price-slow-down-apology|title=Apple apologizes for iPhone slowdown drama, will offer $29 battery replacements for a year|last=Patel|first=Nilay|date=December 27, 2019|website=The Verge|access-date=September 9, 2019}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{Cite web|url=https://www.theverge.com/2018/2/7/16984234/how-to-iphone-throttling-ios-11-3|title=How to turn off iPhone throttling in iOS 11.3|last=Byford|first=Sam|date=2018-02-07|website=The Verge|language=en|access-date=2020-01-09}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Since July 2007, third-party battery replacement kits have been available&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite web |first=Joshua |last=Topolsky |author-link=Joshua Topolsky |title=iPhone&#039;s first sketchy battery replacement kit appears |url=https://www.engadget.com/2007/07/31/iphones-first-sketchy-battery-replacement-kit-appears/ |work=[[Engadget]] |date=July 31, 2007 |access-date=March 23, 2017}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; at a much lower price than Apple&#039;s own battery replacement program. These kits often include a small screwdriver and an instruction leaflet, but as with many newer iPod models the battery in the first generation iPhone has been [[solder]]ed in. Therefore, a soldering iron is required to install the new battery. The iPhone 3G uses a different battery fitted with a connector that is easier to replace.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;3G quasi-replaceable battery&amp;quot;&amp;gt;{{cite web|url=https://gizmodo.com/5023983/the-iphone-3g-battery-is-quasi+replaceable|title=The iPhone 3G Battery Is Quasi-Replaceable|last=Wilson|first=Mark|date=July 10, 2008|work=[[Gizmodo]]|access-date=January 10, 2009}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; The iPhone X features a different battery, with two battery cells, and the adhesive pull tabs are adhered to the sides instead of folded over the top, therefore making repairs a little more difficult than before.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{Cite news|url=https://www.ifixit.com/Teardown/iPhone+X+Teardown/98975|title=iPhone X Teardown|date=2017-11-03|work=iFixit|access-date=2017-11-16}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A patent filed by the corporation, published in late July 2013, revealed the development of a new iPhone battery system that uses location data in combination with data on the user&#039;s habits to moderate the handsets&#039; power settings accordingly. Apple is working towards a power management system that will provide features such as the ability to estimate the length of time a user will be away from a power source to modify energy usage and a detection function that adjusts the charging rate to best suit the type of power source that is being used.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite web |first=Darrell |last=Etherington |title=Apple Working On Location-Aware Battery Management For iPhone |url=https://techcrunch.com/2013/07/25/apple-working-on-location-aware-battery-management-for-iphone/ |work=[[TechCrunch]] |date=July 25, 2013 |access-date=March 23, 2017}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

The first-generation iPhone (2007) and iPhone 3G (2008) have a [[fixed-focus lens|fixed-focus]] 2.0-[[megapixel]] camera on the back for digital photos. It has no optical zoom, flash or [[autofocus]], and does not natively support video recording. Video recording is possible on the first-generation iPhone and iPhone 3G via a third-party app available on the App Store or through [[#Third-party applications|jailbreaking]]. iPhone OS 2.0 introduced [[geotagging]] for photos.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The 2009 iPhone 3GS has a 3.2-megapixel camera with autofocus, auto [[white balance]], and auto macro (up to 10&amp;amp;nbsp;cm).

The 2010 iPhone 4 introduced a 5.0-[[megapixel]] camera (2592×1936 pixels) that can record video at [[720p]] resolution, considered [[High-definition video|high-definition]]. It also has a [[Backside illumination|backside-illuminated]] sensor that can capture pictures in low light and an [[Light-emitting diode|LED]] [[Flash (photography)|flash]] that can stay lit while recording video.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite web|url=https://www.apple.com/au/iphone/specs.html|title=Apple&amp;amp;nbsp;— iPhone 4&amp;amp;nbsp;— Technical Specifications|publisher=Apple Inc.|access-date=June 21, 2010}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; It is the first iPhone that can natively do [[High dynamic range imaging|high dynamic range photography]].&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite web |first=Chris |last=Foresman |title=HDR photography with iPhone 4 and iOS 4.1: how good is it? |url=https://arstechnica.com/apple/2010/09/hdr-photography-with-iphone-4-and-ios-41/ |work=[[Ars Technica]] |date=September 13, 2010 |access-date=March 23, 2017}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; The iPhone 4 also has a second camera on the front that can take [[Display resolution|VGA]] photos and record [[Standard-definition television|SD]] video. Saved recordings may be synced to the host computer, attached to email, or (where supported) sent by [[Multimedia Messaging Service|MMS]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The 2011 iPhone 4S&#039; camera can shoot 8-MP stills and 1080p video can be accessed directly from the lock screen and can be triggered using the volume-up button as a shutter trigger. The software makes use of the built-in gyroscope to [[electronic image stabilization|artificially stabilize]] the image while recording video.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
The 2013 iPhone 5S widens the aperture to {{f/}}2.2 and features &#039;&#039;True Tone Flash&#039;&#039;, which has two LED lights, white and amber, that will improve white balance in low light by separately adjusting in 1,000 combinations of brightness level. Its image sensor is now 15 percent larger (1/3&amp;quot;) than its previous model (1/3.2&amp;quot;) at the same resolution to increase the surface size of individual pixels, allowing them to capture more light in the same time.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite web |last1=Shimpi |first1=Anand Lal |title=The iPhone 5s Review |url=https://www.anandtech.com/show/7335/the-iphone-5s-review/10 |website=www.anandtech.com |access-date=19 April 2021 |page=10 |date=2013-09-17}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; The iPhone 5C, however, has the same camera hardware and features as the iPhone 5.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The 2014 iPhone 6 and 6 Plus include [[phase detection autofocus]], while only the 6 Plus has [[Optical Image Stabilization]]. Both models can shoot 1080p videos at 60 frames per second, though optical image stabilization of the latter is unfunctional during video recording, making the iPhone 6s Plus of 2015 the first with optical video stabilization.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite web |last1=Smith |first1=Chris |title=iPhone 6s vs. iPhone 6s Plus: OIS 4K video recording shows the true potential of Apple&#039;s new camera |url=https://bgr.com/2015/09/25/iphone-6s-plus-4k-ois-video/ |website=BGR |access-date=17 April 2021 |date=25 September 2015}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
The 2015 iPhone 6S and 6S Plus are outfitted with a 12-megapixel camera, with [[4K resolution|4K]] video capability at 30fps, both for the first time on iPhone. The front-facing camera is upgraded from 1.3 to 5 megapixels, though video resolution remains at 720p. Other features added are &#039;&#039;Live Photos&#039;&#039;, which captures a short video along a photo, and &#039;&#039;Retina Flash&#039;&#039;, which utilises the screen&#039;s backlight as front camera flash, though less powerful than the rear LED lamp.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{Cite web|url= https://appleinsider.com/articles/15/09/10/how-apples-new-retina-flash----5-years-in-the-making----brightens-up-selfies-on-the-iphone-6s |title= How Apple&#039;s new Retina Flash — 5 years in the making — brightens up selfies on the iPhone 6s |date=September 10, 2015|work=Apple Insider|access-date=April 24, 2020}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The user may change the resolution down to 1080p or 720p in the system settings outside of the camera application, where lower resolutions extend the recording duration until exhaustion of internal storage capacity, and reduces power consumption.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite web |title=4K-Videos: iPhone 6s mit 16 GB in wenigen Minuten gefüllt |url=https://www.giga.de/smartphones/iphone-6s/news/4k-videos-iphone-6s-mit-16-gb-in-wenigen-minuten-gefuellt/ |website=GIGA |language=de |date=10 September 2015}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

The first-generation iPhone SE (2016) features the same 12 MP camera found on the iPhone 6S&amp;lt;!--not 6s Plus, as it is optically stabilized--&amp;gt;, with the same 4K and high frame rate video capability, but its front camera only has 1.2 megapixels, like the iPhone 5 and 5s.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The 2016 iPhone 7 features optical image stabilization on its rear camera, a feature that was previously exclusive to the Plus models, and the 7 Plus is the first iPhone to feature dual-lens cameras (both 12 MP). Both models have a 7 MP front-facing camera, with video resolution increased from 720p to 1080p.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite web |last1=Beavis |first1=Gareth Beavis |title=iPhone 7 review |url=https://www.techradar.com/reviews/phones/mobile-phones/iphone-7-1327947/review/5 |website=TechRadar |language=en}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; The second camera on the iPhone 7 Plus is a [[telephoto lens]], which enables 2× optical zoom, allowing for the level of detail that the center crop of a 48-megapixel photo with the non-tele camera&#039;s field of view would have.

The rear cameras on the 7 and 7 Plus both have an {{f/}}1.8 [[aperture]], as compared to {{f/}}2.2 on the iPhones 6 and 6 Plus, though the 7 Plus&#039; tele camera has {{f/}}2.8 and is not optically stabilized.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;apple.com&amp;quot;/&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite web |last1=Rehm |first1=Lars |title=iPhone 7 Plus dual-cam only offers stabilization in wide-angle lens, report says |url=https://www.dpreview.com/news/5458766074/iphone-7-plus-dual-cam-only-offers-stabilization-in-wide-anlge-lens |website=DPReview |access-date=19 April 2021 |date=2016-09-12}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; It also has a new quad-LED True Tone flash, which is brighter compared to its predecessors.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The 2017 iPhone 8 camera remains largely the same as its predecessor, but it features a larger sensor and a newer color filter. The camera can also now record [[4K resolution|4K]] at 60 and 24 frames per second, [[Slow motion|slow-mo]] at [[1080p]] in 240 frames per second. The new camera system also enables Portrait Lighting, which defines the light in a scene.

&lt;br /&gt;
The iPhone 11, 11 Pro and 11 Pro Max introduced an [[Wide-angle lens|ultrawide]] lens; the latter two became the first triple-camera iPhones. The 11 has a dual-lens setup, lacking the telephoto lens of the 11 Pro and 11 Pro Max. The front camera is now capable of recording video at 4K as a result of a new 12 MP sensor, and can also capture slow-motion footage.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The second-generation iPhone SE&#039;s camera hardware is the same as the iPhone 8, but adds Portrait mode, Portrait lighting, Smart HDR, extended dynamic range for video up to 30 fps, stereo recording and cinematic video stabilization.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The iPhone 12 series brought Night Mode brought to all camera lenses, including the TrueDepth camera. It also uses Deep Fusion in more situations, and uses Smart HDR 3. Dolby Vision HDR video recording up to 30 FPS is available for the iPhone 12 and 12 mini, and up to 60 FPS for the 12 Pro and 12 Pro Max. The 12 Pro Max also has a 47% larger sensor and sensor-shift stabilization for better low-light photos and more details. The telephoto camera can now zoom up to 2.5x on the Pro Max, albeit with a f/2.2 aperture instead of the 12 Pro&#039;s f/2.0 aperture.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A &amp;quot;Keep Normal Photo&amp;quot; option accessible through the system settings allows saving HDR photos in both the high dynamic range and normal variants.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite web |title=How do I save both normal and HDR photos to the iPhone camera roll? |url=https://www.iphonefaq.org/archives/973374 |website=The iPhone FAQ |access-date=29 May 2021 |language=en |date=2014-03-13}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===SIM card===&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:IPhone sim slot.jpg|thumb|An iPhone 5S with the SIM slot open. The SIM ejector is still placed in the eject hole.]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[GSM]] models of the iPhone use a [[Subscriber identity module|SIM card]] to identify themselves to the GSM network. The SIM sits in a tray, which is inserted into a slot at the top of the device. The SIM tray can be ejected with a [[paper clip]] or the &amp;quot;SIM ejector tool&amp;quot; (a simple piece of die-cut sheet metal) included with the iPhone 3G and 3GS in the United States and with all models elsewhere in the world.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite web|url=http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1438|title=Removing SIM card|publisher=Apple Inc.|date=July 10, 2008|access-date=June 11, 2009}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite news|last=Diaz|first=Jesus|title=iPhone 3G&#039;s New SIM Ejector Tool Makes It Instant Must-Buy|work=[[Gizmodo]]|date=June 9, 2008|url=https://gizmodo.com/5014767/iphone-3gs-new-sim-ejector-tool-makes-it-instant-must+buy|access-date=June 24, 2008}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; Some iPhone models shipped with a SIM ejector tool which was fabricated from an alloy dubbed &amp;quot;[[Liquidmetal]]&amp;quot;.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite web|last=Hughes|first=Neil|title=Liquidmetal created SIM ejector tool for Apple&#039;s iPhone, iPad|work=AppleInsider|date=August 17, 2010|url=http://www.appleinsider.com/articles/10/08/17/liquidmetal_created_sim_ejector_tool_for_apples_iphone_ipad.html|access-date=January 1, 2012}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; In most countries, the iPhone is usually sold with a [[#SIM unlocking|SIM lock]], which prevents the iPhone from being used on a different mobile network.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;Carrier unlocking list&amp;quot;&amp;gt;{{cite web|url=https://support.apple.com/kb/HT204039|title=Wireless carrier support and features for iPhone|date=December 23, 2016|publisher=Apple Inc. |access-date=January 28, 2017}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The [[GSM]] iPhone 4 features a [[MicroSIM]] card that is located in a slot on the right side of the device.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite web|author=Apple Inc.|url=https://www.apple.com/iphone/specs.html|title=iPhone 4&amp;amp;nbsp;– Size, weight, battery life, and other specs|publisher=Apple Inc.|access-date=June 23, 2010}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The [[CDMA]] model of the iPhone 4, just the same as any other CDMA-only cell phone, does not use a SIM card or have a SIM card slot.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
An iPhone 4S activated on a CDMA carrier, however, does have a SIM card slot but does not rely on a SIM card for activation on that CDMA network. A CDMA-activated iPhone 4S usually has a carrier-approved roaming SIM preloaded in its SIM slot at the time of purchase that is used for roaming on certain carrier-approved international GSM networks only. The SIM slot is locked to only use the roaming SIM card provided by the CDMA carrier.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite web|last=Slivka|first=Eric|title=Sprint Offers Clarification on iPhone 4S International Micro-SIM Unlocking|url=http://www.macrumors.com/2011/10/13/sprint-offers-clarification-on-iphone-4s-international-micro-sim-unlocking/|work=MacRumors|access-date=July 13, 2012}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In the case of Verizon, for example, one can request that the SIM slot be unlocked for international use by calling their support number and requesting an international unlock if their account has been in good standing for the past 60 days.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite web|last=Miller|first=Matthew|title=International travelers: Here is how to SIM unlock your Verizon Apple iPhone 4S|url=http://www.zdnet.com/blog/cell-phones/international-travelers-here-is-how-to-sim-unlock-your-verizon-apple-iphone-4s/6712|publisher=ZDNet|access-date=July 13, 2012}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; This method only unlocks the iPhone 4S for use on international carriers. An iPhone 4S that has been unlocked in this way will reject any non-international SIM cards (AT&amp;amp;T Mobility or T-Mobile USA, for example).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The iPhone 5 and later iPhones use [[Subscriber identity module#Formats|nano-SIM]] in order to save space internally. The iPhone XS and later iPhones added [[eSIM]] support in addition to nano-SIM, therefore they support Dual SIM functionality.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Liquid contact indicators===&lt;br /&gt;
All iPhones (as well as many other devices by Apple) have a small disc at the bottom of the headphone [[jack (connector)|jack]] that changes from white to red on contact with water; the iPhone 3G and later models also have a similar indicator at the bottom of the [[dock connector]].&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite web|title=iPhone and iPod: Liquid damage is not covered by warranty|publisher=Apple Inc.|date=August 27, 2010|url=http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3302?viewlocale=en_US|access-date=December 25, 2010}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; Because Apple warranties do not cover water damage, employees examine the indicators before approving [[AppleCare|warranty repair or replacement]].  However, with the adoption of [[Waterproofing|water resistance]] as a feature of the iPhone, this practice is no longer in use by Apple.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The iPhone&#039;s indicators are more exposed than those in some mobile phones from other manufacturers, which carry them in a more protected location, such as beneath the battery behind a battery cover. These indicators can be triggered during routine use, by an owner&#039;s sweat,&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite web |first=David |last=Martin |title=Sweaty workouts killing iPhones? |url=https://www.cnet.com/news/sweaty-workouts-killing-iphones/ |publisher=[[CNET]] |date=April 19, 2009 |access-date=March 23, 2017}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; steam in a bathroom, and other light environmental moisture.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite news|last=Respers|first=Lisa|title=Moisture, cold irritate some smart phone users|publisher=CNN|date=April 14, 2009|url=http://edition.cnn.com/2009/TECH/04/14/smart.phones.buggy/index.html|access-date=November 5, 2009}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; Criticism led Apple to change its water damage policy for iPhones and similar products, allowing customers to request further internal inspection of the phone to verify if internal liquid damage sensors were triggered.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite web|url=http://www.bgr.com/2010/11/09/apple-amends-internal-ipod-water-damage-policy/|title=Apple Amends Internal iPod Water Damage Policy|last=Epstein|first=Zach|date=November 9, 2010|work=Boy Genius Report|access-date=January 7, 2011}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

[[File:IPhone 4 box no lid.JPG|thumb|The contents of the box of an iPhone 4. From left to right: iPhone 4 in plastic holder, written documentation, and (top to bottom) headset, USB cable, wall charger.]]&lt;br /&gt;
All [[iPhone models]] include written documentation, and a [[dock connector]] to [[Universal Serial Bus|USB]] cable. The first generation and 3G iPhones also came with a cleaning cloth. The first generation iPhone includes a stereo [[Headset (audio)|headset]] ([[headphones|earbuds]] and a microphone) and a plastic dock to hold the unit upright while charging and syncing. The iPhone [[IPhone 3G|3G]] includes a similar headset plus a SIM eject tool (the first generation model requires a [[Paper clip|paperclip]]). The iPhone [[IPhone 3GS|3GS]] includes the [[Subscriber identity module|SIM]] eject tool and a revised headset, which adds volume buttons (not functional with previous iPhone versions).&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;Earbuds with volume&amp;quot; /&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite web|url=http://store.apple.com/uk/product/MB770G/B?fnode=MTY1NDA1MA&amp;amp;mco=MTM3NTMyNDQ|title=Apple&amp;amp;nbsp;Earphones&amp;amp;nbsp;with&amp;amp;nbsp;Remote&amp;amp;nbsp;and&amp;amp;nbsp;Mic|publisher=Apple Inc.|access-date=January 26, 2011}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The iPhone 3G and 3GS are compatible with the same dock, sold separately, but not the first generation model&#039;s dock.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite web|url=http://store.apple.com/us/product/MB484G/A|title=Apple iPhone 3G Dock|publisher=Apple Store|access-date=June 14, 2009}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; All versions include a USB power adapter, or &amp;quot;wall charger&amp;quot;, which allows the iPhone to charge from an [[AC power plugs and sockets|AC outlet]]. The iPhone 3G and iPhone 3GS sold in North America, Japan, Colombia, Ecuador, and Peru&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite web|url=https://www.apple.com/support/usbadapter/exchangeprogram/|title=Apple&amp;amp;nbsp;– Support&amp;amp;nbsp;– Apple Ultracompact USB Power Adapter Exchange Program|publisher=Apple Inc.|access-date=January 9, 2009}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite web|url=https://www.apple.com/support/usbadapter/exchangeprogram/countries.html|title=Apple&amp;amp;nbsp;– Support&amp;amp;nbsp;– Apple Ultracompact USB Power Adapter Exchange Program&amp;amp;nbsp;– Latin American Countries|publisher=Apple Inc.|access-date=January 9, 2009}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; include an ultracompact USB power adapter.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In October 2020 at the iPhone 12 virtual event, Apple announced that they will be removing the power adapter and EarPods from iPhone packaging.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{Cite web|url=https://www.apple.com/sg/newsroom/2020/10/apple-announces-iphone-12-and-iphone-12-mini-a-new-era-for-iphone-with-5g/|title=Apple announces iPhone 12 and iPhone 12 mini: A new era for iPhone with 5G|website=Apple Newsroom}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Payments ===&lt;br /&gt;
{{Main|Apple Pay}}&lt;br /&gt;
In September 2014, with the launch of the [[iPhone 6]], Apple announced [[Apple Pay]], a mobile payment system. The feature, aimed to &amp;quot;revolutionize&amp;quot; the way users pay, uses an [[Near field communication|NFC]] chip, [[Touch ID]] fingerprint scanner ([[Face ID]] on iPhone X and later), Apple&#039;s [[Apple Wallet|Wallet]] app, and a dedicated &amp;quot;Secure Element&amp;quot; chip for encrypted payment information to make purchases at participating stores, both physical and online.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite web |first=Adrianne |last=Jeffries |title=Apple Pay allows you to pay at the counter with your iPhone 6 |url=https://www.theverge.com/2014/9/9/6084211/apple-pay-iphone-6-nfc-mobile-payment |website=[[The Verge]] |date=September 9, 2014 |access-date=May 28, 2017}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Taptic Engine===&lt;br /&gt;
All iPhone models have a haptic engine to vibrate when a notification or alert, incoming call, etc. iPhone models before the iPhone 4S use an eccentric rotating mass motor. The iPhone 4S uses a linear resonant actuator vibrator, which usually uses less power and creates a quieter vibration.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite web |last1=Ye |first1=Shen |title=The science behind Force Touch and the Taptic Engine |url=https://www.imore.com/science-behind-taptics-and-force-touch |website=iMore |access-date=November 19, 2018 |date=April 8, 2015 }}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; However, the iPhone 5, 5C, and 5S uses an eccentric rotating mass motor. It is unsure as to why Apple decided to switch back. However, the iPhone 6 and 6 Plus uses a linear resonant actuator vibrator.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
iPhone 6S and after uses taptic engine for vibration and haptic feedback, which works similar to the eccentric rotating mass motor.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite web |last1=Wuerthele |first1=Mike |title=Inside the iPhone 7: Apple&#039;s Taptic Engine, explained |url=https://appleinsider.com/articles/16/09/27/inside-the-iphone-7-apples-taptic-engine-explained |website=AppleInsider}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Interface===&lt;br /&gt;
The [[Graphical user interface|interface]] is based around the home screen, a graphical list of available applications. iPhone applications normally run one at a time. Starting with the iPhone 4, a primitive version of multitasking came into play. Users could double click the home button to select recently opened applications.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;applications&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; However, the apps never ran in the background. Starting with iOS 7, though, apps can truly multitask, and each open application runs in the background when not in use, although most functionality is still available when making a call or listening to music. The home screen can be accessed by a hardware button below the screen on the iPhone 8 and earlier. iPhone X and later models, with the exception of the second-generation iPhone SE, instead use touch-based gestures.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The original iPhone contained the following apps: Messages ([[Short Message Service|SMS]] and [[Multimedia Messaging Service|MMS]] messaging), Calendar, Photos, Camera, YouTube, Stocks, Maps ([[Google Maps]]), Weather, Voice Memos, Notes, Clock, Calculator, Settings and [[iTunes Store|iTunes (store)]]. The [[App Store (iOS)|App Store]] was introduced in iPhone OS 2 for the original iPhone and iPhone 3G. [[Compass]] was added in iPhone OS 3 for the iPhone 3GS. FaceTime and Game Center were added in iOS 4 and 4.1 respectively. In iOS 5, Reminders and Newsstand were added, and the iPod application was split into separate Music and Videos applications. iOS 6 added Passbook as well as a new version of Maps called Apple Maps that relies on data provided by TomTom as well as other sources, and YouTube no longer came as a pre-installed application starting from that version. iOS 7 introduced a modern flat design for the interface and added a motion-based parallax feature to give the device a quasi-3D effect. iOS 8 added Health app. iOS 9 replaced Newsstand and Passbook with [[Apple News|News]] and [[Apple Wallet|Wallet]]. iOS 10 introduced Home and dedicated a page on the home screen for the widgets. iOS 11 added Files. iOS 12 introduced Measure, an app that uses [[Augmented reality|AR]] technology to measure objects and things. It is available on devices with an [[Apple A9|A9]] chip or newer.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Docked at the base of the screen, four icons for [[Mobile phone|Phone]], [[Email|Mail]], [[Safari (web browser)|Safari]] (Internet), and Music delineate the iPhone&#039;s main purposes.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite web|url=http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=306003|title=iPhone Applications|publisher=Apple Inc.|date=July 11, 2007|access-date=November 4, 2007|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080311142319/http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=306003|archive-date=March 11, 2008|url-status=dead}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; On January 15, 2008, Apple released software update 1.1.3, allowing users to create &amp;quot;Web Clips&amp;quot;, home screen icons that resemble apps that open a user-defined page in Safari. After the update, iPhone users can rearrange and place icons (by holding down on any icon and moving it to the desired location once they start shaking) on up to nine other adjacent home screens, accessed by a horizontal swipe.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;Update 1.1.3&amp;quot;&amp;gt;{{cite press release|url=https://www.apple.com/pr/library/2008/01/15iphone.html|title=Apple Enhances Revolutionary iPhone with Software Update|date=January 15, 2008|publisher=Apple Inc.|access-date=December 13, 2008|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20081215230427/http://www.apple.com/pr/library/2008/01/15iphone.html|archive-date=December 15, 2008|df=mdy-all}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Users can also add and delete icons from the dock, which is the same on every home screen. The dock holds up to four icons and is located at the bottom section of the screen. Each home screen holds up to twenty icons for the [[iPhone (1st generation)|first-generation iPhone]], [[iPhone 3G|3G]], [[iPhone 3GS|3GS]], [[iPhone 4|4]] and [[iPhone 4S|4S]]; The [[iPhone 5]], [[iPhone 5C|5C]], [[iPhone 5S|5S]], and [[iPhone SE (1st generation)|first-generation iPhone SE]] hold up to twenty-four icons; while the [[iPhone 6]] and later iPhone models support up to twenty-eight icons. Users can delete Web Clips and third-party applications at any time and may select only certain applications for transfer from iTunes. Apple&#039;s default programs could only be removed since the iOS 10 update. The 3.0 update added a system-wide search, known as [[Spotlight (software)#iOS|Spotlight]], to the left of the first home screen.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;3.0 official&amp;quot;/&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;3.0 Macworld&amp;quot;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Almost all input is given through the touch screen, which understands complex gestures using [[multi-touch]]. The iPhone&#039;s [[interaction technique]]s enable the user to move the content up or down by a touch-drag motion of the finger. For example, zooming in and out of web pages and photos is done by placing two fingers on the screen and spreading them farther apart or bringing them closer together, a gesture known as &amp;quot;[[pinching (technology)|pinching]]&amp;quot;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Scrolling through a long list or menu is achieved by sliding a finger over the display from bottom to top, or vice versa to go back. In either case, the list moves as if it is pasted on the outer surface of a wheel, slowly decelerating as if affected by friction. In this way, the interface [[Physics engine|simulates the physics]] of a real object. Unlike previous scrollable views, in which the user pressed a &amp;quot;down&amp;quot; control to move the view &amp;quot;downwards&amp;quot;, on iOS the user pushes &#039;&#039;upwards&#039;&#039;, as if moving a &amp;quot;plank of wood floating on the water&amp;quot;, creating the impression that the user is directly manipulating the content displayed on the screen.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;Siracusa Frontier&amp;quot;&amp;gt;{{cite web|last1=Siracusa|first1=John|title=The Frontier|url=https://arstechnica.com/staff/2007/06/the-frontier/|website=Ars Technica|access-date=August 1, 2017}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;Apple&#039;s Mousetrap&amp;quot;&amp;gt;{{cite web|last1=Agger|first1=Michael|title=Apple&#039;s Mousetrap|url=http://www.slate.com/articles/technology/technology/2011/09/apples_mousetrap.html|website=Slate|access-date=August 1, 2017}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Other [[User-centered design|user-centered]] [[interactive design|interactive]] effects include horizontally sliding sub-selection, the vertically sliding keyboard and bookmarks menu, and widgets that turn around to allow settings to be configured on the other side. Menu bars are found at the top and bottom of the screen when necessary. Their options vary by program but always follow a consistent style motif. In menu hierarchies, a &amp;quot;back&amp;quot; button in the top-left corner of the screen displays the name of the parent folder.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Phone===&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:IPhone calling screen.png|thumb|upright|When making a call, the iPhone presents a number of options, including [[FaceTime]] on supported models. The screen is [[Proximity sensor|automatically disabled]] when held close to the face.]]&lt;br /&gt;
The iPhone allows audio [[conference call|conferencing]], call holding, call merging, [[caller ID]], and integration with other cellular network features and iPhone functions. For example, if music is playing when a call is received, the music fades out and fades back in when the call has ended.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The [[proximity sensor]] shuts off the screen and touch-sensitive circuitry when the iPhone is brought close to the face, both to save battery and prevent unintentional touches. The iPhone does not support [[Videophone|video calling]] or [[videoconferencing]] on versions prior to the fourth generation, as there is only one camera on the opposite side of the screen.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite web |first=Donald |last=Melanson |title=Mirror-based video conferencing developed for iPhone |url=https://www.engadget.com/2007/08/13/mirror-based-video-conferencing-developed-for-iphone/ |work=[[Engadget]] |date=August 13, 2007 |access-date=March 23, 2017}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The iPhone 4 supports video calling using either the front or back camera over Wi-Fi, a feature Apple calls [[FaceTime]].&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite web|url=https://www.apple.com/iphone/features/facetime.html|title=Apple&amp;amp;nbsp;– iPhone 4&amp;amp;nbsp;– One-tap video calling with FaceTime on iPhone 43|access-date=June 11, 2010}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; Voice control, introduced in the iPhone 3GS, allows users to say a contact&#039;s name or number and the iPhone will dial it.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;Voice_Control&amp;quot;&amp;gt;{{cite web|url=https://www.apple.com/iphone/iphone-3g-s/voice-control.html|title=iPhone: Make calls and play music using voice control|date=June 10, 2009|publisher=Apple Inc.|access-date=June 10, 2009|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090610213018/http://www.apple.com/iphone/iphone-3g-s/voice-control.html|archive-date=June 10, 2009}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; The first two models only support [[voice command device|voice dialing]] through third-party applications.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite web|url=http://www.macworld.com/article/137421/2008/12/voicedialers.html|title=Review: iPhone voice dialers|last=Tessler|first=Franklin|date=December 12, 2008|work=Macworld|access-date=May 9, 2009}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The iPhone includes a [[visual voicemail]] (in some countries)&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;VV_abroad&amp;quot;&amp;gt;{{cite web|url=http://www.ilounge.com/index.php/news/comments/iphone-3g-carriers-apple-vary-on-visual-voicemail|title=iPhone 3G carriers, Apple vary on Visual Voicemail|last=Starrett|first=Charles|date=June 11, 2008|work=iLounge|access-date=May 24, 2009}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; feature allowing users to view a list of current voicemail messages on-screen without having to call into their voicemail. Unlike most other systems, messages can be listened to and deleted in a non-chronological order by choosing any message from an on-screen list.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A music [[ringtone]] feature was introduced in the United States on September 5, 2007. Users can create custom ringtones from songs purchased from the iTunes Store for a small additional fee. The ringtones can be three to 30 seconds long from any part of a song, can fade in and out, pause from half a second to five seconds when looped, or [[infinite loop|loop continuously]]. All customizing can be done in iTunes,&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite press release|url=https://www.apple.com/pr/library/2007/09/05itunes.html|title=Apple Unveils the iTunes Wi-Fi Music Store|date=November 5, 2007|publisher=Apple Inc.|access-date=May 24, 2009|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090423162242/http://www.apple.com/pr/library/2007/09/05itunes.html|archive-date=April 23, 2009|df=mdy-all}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; or with Apple&#039;s [[GarageBand]] software 4.1.1 or later (available only on [[Mac OS X]])&amp;lt;ref name=GarageBand1&amp;gt;{{cite web|url=http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=307108|title=How to create custom ringtones in GarageBand 4.1.1|publisher=Apple Inc.|access-date=December 15, 2007|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20071215060626/http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=307108|archive-date=December 15, 2007|url-status=dead}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; or third-party tools.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;third party ringtones&amp;quot;&amp;gt;{{cite news|last=Gilbertson|first=Scott|title=How to Make Custom IPhone Ringtones Without Paying Apple $2|url=https://www.wired.com/software/coolapps/news/2007/09/ringtone_hacks|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080516092956/http://www.wired.com/software/coolapps/news/2007/09/ringtone_hacks|url-status=dead|archive-date=May 16, 2008|work=[[Wired (magazine)|Wired]]|date=September 12, 2007|access-date=March 8, 2008}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
With the release of [[iOS 6]], which was released on September 19, 2012, Apple added features that enable the user to have options to decline a phone call when a person is calling them. The user can reply with a message, or set a reminder to call them back at a later time.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite web|title=iOS 6 Preview|url=https://www.apple.com/ios/ios6/|publisher=Apple Inc.|access-date=June 11, 2012}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Multimedia===&lt;br /&gt;
The layout of the music library is similar to that of an [[iPod]]. The iPhone can sort its media library by songs, artists, albums, videos, [[playlist]]s, [[genre]]s, composers, [[podcast]]s, [[audiobook]]s, and [[Compilation album|compilations]]. Options are presented alphabetically, except in playlists, which retain their order from [[iTunes]]. The iPhone uses a large font that allows users plenty of room to touch their selection.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Users can rotate their device horizontally to [[Page orientation|landscape mode]] to access [[Cover Flow]]. Like on iTunes, this feature shows the different album covers in a scroll-through photo library. Scrolling is achieved by swiping a finger across the screen. Alternatively, headset controls can be used to pause, play, skip, and repeat tracks. On the iPhone 3GS, the volume can be changed with the included Apple Earphones, and the Voice Control feature can be used to identify a track, play songs in a playlist or by a specific artist, or create a [[Genius (iTunes)|Genius playlist]].&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;Voice_Control&amp;quot;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The iPhone supports [[gapless playback]].&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite web|url=http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1797 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080508053830/http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1797 |url-status=dead |archive-date=May 8, 2008 |title=What is Gapless Playback? |access-date=May 13, 2008 |publisher=Apple Inc. |df=mdy-all }}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; Like the [[iPod classic#Fifth generation|fifth-generation iPods]] introduced in 2005, the iPhone can play [[digital video]], allowing users to watch TV shows and movies in [[widescreen]]. Double-tapping switches between widescreen and [[4:3|fullscreen]] video playback.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The iPhone allows users to purchase and download songs from the iTunes Store directly to their iPhone. The feature originally required a Wi-Fi network, but since 2012, it can be used on a cellular data network.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite web|url=http://daringfireball.net/linked/2007/september#thu-27-wifi|title=The Reason It&#039;s Called the Wi-Fi Music Store|date=September 30, 2007|access-date=January 6, 2008|first=John|last=Gruber|work=[[Daring Fireball]]|author-link=John Gruber }}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The iPhone includes software that allows the user to upload, view, and email photos taken with the [[#Camera|camera]]. The user zooms in and out of photos by sliding two fingers further apart or closer together, much like Safari. The camera application also lets users view the camera roll, the pictures that have been taken with the iPhone&#039;s camera. Those pictures are also available in the Photos application, along with any transferred from [[iPhoto]] or [[Aperture (software)|Aperture]] on a Mac, or [[Adobe Photoshop|Photoshop]] on a Windows PC.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The iPhone did not support [[Sound recording and reproduction|voice recording]] until the 3.0 software update.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;3.0 official&amp;quot;/&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;3.0 Macworld&amp;quot;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Internet connectivity===&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Safari on iOS 14 iPhone 12 Pro Max Landscape.png|thumb|Wikipedia on the iPhone [[Safari (web browser)|Safari web browser]] in landscape mode]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Internet access is available when the iPhone is connected to a local area [[Wi-Fi]] or a wide area [[GSM]] or [[Enhanced Data Rates for GSM Evolution|EDGE]] network, both second-generation ([[2G]]) wireless data standards. Networks accessible from iPhone models include [[1xRTT]] (represented by a 1× on the status bar) and [[GPRS]] (shown as GPRS on the status bar), [[EDGE]] (shown as a capital E on the status bar), [[UMTS]] and [[EV-DO]] (shown as 3G), a faster version of UMTS and 4G (shown as a 4G symbol on the status bar), and [[LTE (telecommunication)|LTE]] (shown as LTE on the status bar).&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite web|url=http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1976 |title=iOS: Understanding cellular data networks |publisher=Support.apple.com |date=September 24, 2013 |access-date=February 3, 2014}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;  The iPhone 3G introduced support for third-generation [[Universal Mobile Telecommunications System|UMTS]] and [[High-Speed Downlink Packet Access|HSDPA]] 3.6,&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite web|title=Apple&#039;s Joswiak: iPhone 3G Runs Fast HSDPA 3.6, Not Slower 1.8|url=http://www.gearlog.com/2008/07/apples_joswiak_iphone_3g_runs.php|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20081004215201/http://www.gearlog.com/2008/07/apples_joswiak_iphone_3g_runs.php|archive-date=October 4, 2008|access-date=October 12, 2008|work=Gearlog}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; the iPhone 4S introduced support for [[High-Speed Uplink Packet Access|HSUPA]] networks (14.4&amp;amp;nbsp;Mbit/s), and support for HSDPA 7.2 was introduced in the iPhone 3GS.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;Macworld_3G_S&amp;quot;&amp;gt;{{cite web|last=Michaels|first=Philip|author2=Jason Snell|date=June 8, 2009|title=iPhone 3GS offers speed boost, video capture|url=http://www.macworld.com/article/141031/2009/06/iphone3gs.html|access-date=June 8, 2009|work=Macworld}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; and the iPhone 5 introduced support for 4G LTE. 5G Evolution is now supported on AT&amp;amp;T in areas where implemented and stylized as a larger 5G and reduced size capital E.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{Cite web|url=https://www.att.com/5g/consumer/5g-evolution|title=5G Evolution: What it Means for You|website=AT&amp;amp;T|access-date=2019-08-06}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; 5GE uses the 4x4 [[MIMO]] doubling the number of antennas, 256-QAM, and three-way [[carrier aggregation]]. True 5G support was added starting with the iPhone 12 series in fall 2020.

&lt;br /&gt;
By default, the iPhone will ask to join newly discovered [[Wi-Fi]] networks and prompt for the password when required. Alternatively, it can join closed Wi-Fi networks manually.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite web|url=http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=306249|title=iPhone: About Connections Settings|publisher=Apple Inc.|access-date=November 4, 2007|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20071019015540/http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=306249|archive-date=October 19, 2007|url-status=dead}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; The iPhone will automatically choose the strongest network, connecting to Wi-Fi instead of EDGE when it is available.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite web|url=http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=305711|title=iPhone: Connecting to the Internet with EDGE or Wi-Fi|publisher=Apple Inc.|access-date=November 4, 2007|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20071011042909/http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=305711|archive-date=October 11, 2007|url-status=dead}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; Similarly, the iPhone 3G and onwards prefer [[3G]] to [[2G]], and Wi-Fi to either.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;3GSpeeds&amp;quot;&amp;gt;{{cite web|url=https://www.apple.com/iphone/features/wireless.html|title=Apple – iPhone&amp;amp;nbsp;– Features&amp;amp;nbsp;– 3G|year=2008|publisher=Apple Inc.|access-date=December 14, 2008}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Wi-Fi, [[Bluetooth]], and 3G (on the iPhone 3G onwards) can all be deactivated individually. [[Airplane mode]] disables all wireless connections at once, overriding other preferences. However, once in Airplane mode, one can explicitly enable Wi-Fi and/or Bluetooth modes to join and continue to operate over one or both of those networks while the cellular network transceivers remain off.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Safari is the iPhone&#039;s native [[web browser]], and it displays pages similar to its Mac and Windows counterparts. Web pages may be viewed in portrait or landscape mode and the device supports automatic zooming by pinching together or spreading apart fingertips on the screen, or by double-tapping text or images.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite web|url=http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=305899|title=iPhone: Zooming In to See a Page More easily|publisher=Apple Inc.|access-date=November 4, 2007|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20071225113959/http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=305899|archive-date=December 25, 2007|url-status=dead}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite news|url=http://solution.allthingsd.com/20070626/the-iphone-is-breakthrough-handheld-computer/|title=The iPhone Is a Breakthrough Handheld Computer|author=Walter S.

&lt;br /&gt;
The Maps application can access [[Google Maps]] in map, [[satellite imagery|satellite]], or hybrid form. It can also generate directions between two locations, while providing optional real-time traffic information. During the iPhone&#039;s announcement, Jobs demonstrated this feature by searching for nearby [[Starbucks]] locations and then placing a [[prank call]] to one with a single tap.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;keynoteMacworld&amp;quot;&amp;gt;{{cite news|last=Cohen|first=Peter|url=http://www.macworld.com/news/2007/01/09/liveupdate/index.php|title=Macworld Expo Keynote Live Update|work=Macworld|date=January 9, 2007|access-date=February 1, 2007}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite web |first=Ryan |last=Block |author-link=Ryan Block |title=Live from Macworld 2007: Steve Jobs keynote |url=https://www.engadget.com/2007/01/09/live-from-macworld-2007-steve-jobs-keynote/ |work=[[Engadget]] |date=January 9, 2007 |access-date=March 23, 2017}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; Support for walking directions, public transit, and [[Google Street View|street view]] was added in the version 2.2 software update, but no voice-guided navigation.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;2.2&amp;quot; /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

With the introduction of the Verizon iPhone in January 2011, the issue of using the internet while on the phone was brought to the public&#039;s attention.

&lt;br /&gt;
===Text input===&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:IPhone keyboard unblurred.jpg|thumb|The [[virtual keyboard]] on the first generation iPhone [[touchscreen]]]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
For text input, the iPhone implements a [[virtual keyboard]] on the touchscreen. It has automatic [[spell checker|spell checking]] and correction, [[Predictive text|predictive word]] capabilities, and a dynamic dictionary that learns new words. The keyboard can predict what word the user is typing and complete it, and correct for the accidental pressing of keys near the presumed desired key.&amp;lt;ref name=hasAKeyboard&amp;gt;{{cite news|author-link=John Markoff|last=Markoff|first=John|url=https://www.nytimes.com/2007/06/13/technology/13phone.ready.html|title=That iPhone Has a Keyboard, but It&#039;s Not Mechanical|work=The New York Times|date=June 13, 2007|access-date=June 6, 2008}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The keys are somewhat larger and spaced farther apart when in [[landscape mode]], which is supported by only a limited number of applications. Touching a section of text for a brief time brings up a [[magnifying glass]], allowing users to place the [[cursor (computers)|cursor]] in the middle of existing text. The virtual keyboard can accommodate 21 languages, including character recognition for Chinese.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;Keyboard&amp;quot;&amp;gt;{{cite web|url=https://www.apple.com/ios/feature-availability/#quickType-keyboard-language-support|title=Apple&amp;amp;nbsp;– iPhone&amp;amp;nbsp;– Features&amp;amp;nbsp;– Keyboard|publisher=Apple Inc.|access-date=December 15, 2008}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Alternative characters with accents (for example, letters from the alphabets of other languages) and [[emoji]] can be typed from the keyboard by pressing the letter for two seconds and selecting the alternative character from the popup.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;KeyboardAlternateLetters&amp;quot;&amp;gt;{{cite web|url=https://www.apple.com/iphone/tips/|title=Apple – iPhone – Tips and Tricks|publisher=Apple Inc.|access-date=November 11, 2011}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; The 3.0 update brought support for [[cut, copy, and paste|cut, copy, or pasting]] text, as well as landscape keyboards in more applications.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;3.0 official&amp;quot; /&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;3.0 Macworld&amp;quot; /&amp;gt; On iPhone 4S and above, Siri allows dictation.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Since iOS 8, third party keyboards, distributed through the App Store, are allowed. Previously, they were only available on jailbroken iPhones.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;ThirdPartyKeyboard&amp;quot;&amp;gt;{{cite web|url=http://www.idownloadblog.com/2014/06/02/third-party-keyboards-will-be-available-in-ios-8/|title=iOS 8 supports third-party keyboards|access-date=January 25, 2018}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Email and text messages===&lt;br /&gt;
The iPhone also features an email program that supports [[HTML email]], which enables the user to embed photos in an email message. [[Portable Document Format|PDF]], [[Microsoft Word|Word]], [[Microsoft Excel|Excel]], and [[Microsoft PowerPoint|PowerPoint]] attachments to mail messages can be viewed on the phone.&amp;lt;ref name=autogenerated2&amp;gt;{{cite web|url=https://www.apple.com/iphone/specs-3g.html |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090612042413/http://www.apple.com/iphone/specs-3g.html |url-status=dead |archive-date=June 12, 2009 |title=Apple&amp;amp;nbsp;– iPhone&amp;amp;nbsp;– Technical Specifications |publisher=Apple Inc. |access-date=June 10, 2009 |df=mdy-all }}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; [[Yahoo!]] offers a free push-email service for the iPhone. [[Internet Message Access Protocol|IMAP]] (although not [[Push-IMAP]]) and [[Post Office Protocol|POP3]] mail standards are also supported, including [[Microsoft Exchange Server|Microsoft Exchange]]&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite web|url=https://www.apple.com/iphone/enterprise/|title=Apple&amp;amp;nbsp;– iPhone&amp;amp;nbsp;– Enterprise|publisher=Apple Inc.|access-date=May 16, 2009}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; and [[Kerio Connect]].&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite web|first=Anthony|last=Frausto-Robledo|url=http://www.architosh.com/news/2007-07/2007a0724_an-kerioiphone.html|title=Analysis: Kerio MailServer delivers email to Apple iPhone|date=July 24, 2007|access-date=June 6, 2008}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In the first versions of the iPhone firmware, this was accomplished by opening up IMAP on the Exchange server. Apple has also licensed [[ActiveSync|Microsoft ActiveSync]] and supports the platform (including push email) with the release of iPhone 2.0 firmware.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite news|url=http://blogs.barrons.com/techtraderdaily/2008/03/06/apple-iphone-sdk-event/|title=iPhone to support Exchange|date=March 6, 2008|work=TechTraderDaily}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref name=releasedate /&amp;gt; The iPhone will sync email account settings over from Apple&#039;s own [[Mail (OS X)|Mail]] application, [[Microsoft Outlook]], and [[Microsoft Entourage]], or it can be manually configured on the device itself.

&lt;br /&gt;
Text messages are presented chronologically in a mailbox format similar to Mail, which places all text from recipients together with replies. Text messages are displayed in speech bubbles (similar to [[iChat]]) under each recipient&#039;s name. The iPhone has built-in support for email message forwarding, drafts, and direct internal camera-to-email picture sending. Support for multi-recipient SMS was added in the 1.1.3 software update.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;1.1.3&amp;quot;&amp;gt;{{cite web|url=http://www.macworld.com/article/131616/2008/01/iphone_update.html|title=First Look: iPhone 1.1.3|last=Moren|first=Dan|date=January 16, 2008|work=Macworld|access-date=June 10, 2009}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; Support for [[Multimedia Messaging Service|MMS]] was added in the 3.0 update, but not for the original first generation iPhone&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;3.0 official&amp;quot;&amp;gt;{{cite web|url=https://www.apple.com/iphone/preview-iphone-os/|title=The most advanced mobile OS.

===Third-party applications===&lt;br /&gt;
{{see also|iOS SDK|App Store (iOS)|l2=App Store}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
At [[Worldwide Developers Conference#WWDC 2007|WWDC 2007]] on June 11, 2007, Apple announced that the iPhone would support [[third-party developer|third-party]] web applications using [[Ajax (programming)|Ajax]] that share the look and feel of the iPhone interface.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;Web apps&amp;quot;&amp;gt;{{cite press release|url=https://www.apple.com/pr/library/2007/06/11iphone.html|title=iPhone to Support Third-Party Web 2.0 Applications|date=June 11, 2007|publisher=Apple Inc.|access-date=December 15, 2008|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20081215230338/http://www.apple.com/pr/library/2007/06/11iphone.html|archive-date=December 15, 2008|df=mdy-all}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; On October 17, 2007, Steve Jobs, in an open letter posted to Apple&#039;s &amp;quot;Hot News&amp;quot; [[weblog]], announced that a [[software development kit]] (SDK) would be made available to third-party developers in February 2008.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite web |title=Hot News |url=https://www.apple.com/hotnews |website=Apple |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20071018221832/http://www.apple.com/hotnews/ |archive-date=October 18, 2007 |url-status=dead |access-date=September 9, 2017 }}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; The iPhone SDK was officially announced and released on March 6, 2008, at the Apple Town Hall facility.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite web |first=Ryan |last=Block |author-link=Ryan Block |title=Live from Apple&#039;s iPhone SDK press conference |url=https://www.engadget.com/2008/03/06/live-from-apples-iphone-press-conference/ |work=[[Engadget]] |date=March 6, 2008 |access-date=March 23, 2017}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It is a free download, with an Apple registration, that allows developers to develop native applications for the iPhone and iPod Touch, then test them in an &amp;quot;iPhone simulator&amp;quot;. However, loading an application onto a real device is only possible after paying an [[Apple Developer Connection]] membership fee. Developers are free to set any price for their applications to be distributed through the [[App Store (iOS)|App Store]], of which they will receive a 70% share.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite news|first=Michelle|last=Quinn|title=Apple will open App Store in bid to boost iPhone sales|url=http://www.latimes.com/business/la-fi-iphone10-2008jul10,0,3798678.story|work=Los Angeles Times|date=July 10, 2008|access-date=July 10, 2008}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Developers can also opt to release the application for free and will not pay any costs to release or distribute the application beyond the membership fee. The App Store was launched with the release of iPhone OS 2.0, on July 11, 2008.&amp;lt;ref name=releasedate&amp;gt;{{cite press release|url=https://www.apple.com/pr/library/2008/06/09iphone.html|title=Apple Introduces the New iPhone 3G|quote=iPhone 2.0 software will be available on July 11 as a free software update via iTunes 7.7 or later for all iPhone customers|publisher=Apple Inc.|date=June 9, 2008|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110501035135/http://www.apple.com/pr/library/2008/06/09iphone.html|archive-date=May 1, 2011|df=mdy-all}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; The update was free for iPhone users; owners of older iPod Touches were required to pay US$10 for it.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite web|url=http://www.macworld.com/article/134502/2008/07/ipodtouch.html|title=Is the iPod touch 2.0 update worth $10?|last=Breen|first=Christopher|date=July 15, 2008|work=Macworld|access-date=May 16, 2009}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Once a developer has submitted an application to the App Store, Apple holds firm control over its distribution. Apple can halt the distribution of applications it deems inappropriate, for example, &#039;&#039;[[I Am Rich]]&#039;&#039;, a US$1000 program that simply demonstrated the wealth of its user, and &#039;&#039;[[Send Me To Heaven]]&#039;&#039;, a game that encouraged users to throw their phones in the air.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;wsj_article&amp;quot;&amp;gt;{{cite news|url=http://wsj.com/article/SB121842341491928977.html|title=IPhone Software Sales Take Off: Apple&#039;s Jobs|access-date=September 3, 2008|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090108093119/http://online.wsj.com/article/SB121842341491928977.html|archive-date=January 8, 2009|work=The Wall Street Journal|date=August 11, 2008|first=Nick|last=Wingfield}} [http://justamp.blogspot.com/2008/08/iphone-software-sales-take-off-apples.html Alt URL]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref name=NBCLeJacq&amp;gt;{{cite news |last=LeJacq |first=Yannick |date=August 5, 2013 |title=Smartphone game may destroy your smartphone |url=https://www.nbcnews.com/technolog/smartphone-game-may-destroy-your-smartphone-6C10853059 |work=[[NBC News]] |access-date=January 13, 2021}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; Apple has been criticized for banning third-party applications that enable a functionality that Apple does not want the iPhone to have: In 2008, Apple rejected [[Podcaster]], which allowed iPhone users to download podcasts directly to the iPhone claiming it duplicated the functionality of iTunes.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite web|url=http://www.macworld.com/article/135527/2008/09/appstore.html|date=September 12, 2008|title=Podcasting app rejected from App Store|work=Macworld|access-date=January 23, 2009}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; Apple has since released a software update that grants this capability.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;2.2&amp;quot;&amp;gt;{{cite web|url=http://www.macworld.com/article/137023/2008/11/iphone_22.html|title=Apple releases iPhone 2.2 update|last=Snell|first=Jason|date=November 21, 2008|work=Macworld|access-date=June 10, 2009}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Accessibility features===&lt;br /&gt;
Starting with the iPhone 4S, Apple added an [[accessibility]] feature to optimize the function of the iPhone with [[hearing aid]]s.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite web|url=https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT202186|title=About Hearing Aid Compatibility (HAC) requirements for iPhone |publisher=Apple Inc.|access-date=April 3, 2016}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;  Apple released a program of Made for iPhone Hearing Aids.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite web|url=https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201466|title=Use Made for iPhone hearing aids |publisher=Apple Inc.|access-date=April 3, 2016}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; These hearing aids deliver a power-efficient, high-quality digital audio experience and allow the user to manage the hearing aid right from the iPhone. Made for iPhone hearing aids also feature [http://support.apple.com/kb/HT203990 Live Listen]. With Live Listen the iPhone acts as a remote [[microphone]] that sends sound to a Made for iPhone hearing aid. Live Listen can help the user hear a conversation in a noisy room or hear someone speaking across the room.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite web|url=https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT203990|title=Use Live Listen with Made for iPhone hearing aids|publisher=Apple Inc.|access-date=April 3, 2016}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The [[Refreshable braille display|Braille Displays]] for the iOS program was announced by Apple coinciding with the release of the iPhone 3GS, [[iPad]] and [[IPod Touch (3rd generation)|iPod Touch (3rd Generation)]].  This program added support for more than 50 Bluetooth wireless braille displays that work with iOS out of the box. The user only needs to pair the keyboard to the device to start using it to navigate the iOS device with [[VoiceOver]] without any additional software. iOS supports [[Braille|braille tables]] for more than 25 languages.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite web|url=https://www.apple.com/accessibility/ios/braille-display.html|title=Accessibility – iOS – Braille Displays |publisher=Apple Inc.|access-date=April 5, 2016}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
iPhone lets the user know when an alert is sent to it, in a variety of notice methods. It delivers both [[Sensory cue|visual]] and [[vibrating alert]]s for incoming phone and [[FaceTime]] calls, new text messages, new and sent mail, and calendar events. Users can set an [[Light-emitting diode|LED light flash]] for incoming calls and alerts or have incoming calls display a photo of the caller. Users can choose from different vibration patterns or even create their own.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;Accessibility – iOS – Apple&amp;quot;&amp;gt;{{cite web|url=https://www.apple.com/accessibility/ios/|title=Accessibility – iOS |publisher=Apple Inc.|access-date=April 5, 2016}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
With the release of iOS 9 for all iPhones, users have the ability to choose between two different screen view options. The user can choose to have a standard view or zoomed view. When the iPhone is placed in a standard view setting, the icons are normal size and the text remains the same. With a zoomed view option, the icons on the screen and the text become slightly larger. This enables the user to have a more customized appearance and it can potentially help some users read the screen easier.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
AssistiveTouch helps to adapt the [[Multi-touch|Multi-Touch]] screen of an iOS device to a user&#039;s unique physical needs. This can be of great assistance to those who have difficulty with some gestures, like pinch, one can make them accessible with just a tap of a finger. The user can create their own gestures and customize the layout of the AssistiveTouch menu. If the user has trouble pressing the Home button, it can be set so that it can be activated with an onscreen tap. Gestures, like rotate and shake, are available even when if the iOS device is mounted on a [[wheelchair]].&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;Accessibility – iOS – Apple&amp;quot;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Guided Access helps people with [[autism]] or other [[Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder|attention]] and [[Sensory processing disorder|sensory challenges]] stay focused on the task (or app) at hand. With Guided Access, a parent, teacher, or therapist can limit an iOS device to stay on one app by disabling the Home button and limit the amount of time spent in an app. The user can restrict access to the keyboard or touch input on certain areas of the screen.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
== iPhone Upgrade Program ==&lt;br /&gt;
The iPhone Upgrade Program is a 24-month program designed for consumers to be able to get the latest iPhone every year, without paying the whole price up-front. The program consists of &amp;quot;low monthly payments&amp;quot;, where consumers will gradually pay for the iPhone they have over a 24-month period, with an opportunity to switch (upgrade) to the new iPhone after 12 months of payment have passed. Once 12 months have passed, consumers can trade their current iPhone with a new one, and the payments are transferred from the old device to the new device, and the program &amp;quot;restarts&amp;quot; with a new 24-month period.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;iPhone Upgrade Program&amp;quot;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Additional features of the program include unlocked handsets, which means consumers are free to pick the network carrier they want, and two-year AppleCare+ protection, which includes &amp;quot;hardware repairs, software support, and coverage for up to two incidents of accidental damage&amp;quot;.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;iPhone Upgrade Program&amp;quot;&amp;gt;{{cite web |title=iPhone Upgrade Program |url=https://www.apple.com/shop/iphone/iphone-upgrade-program |publisher=[[Apple Inc.]] |access-date=November 28, 2016}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite web | last=Cole | first=Lauren Lyons | title=Apple&#039;s iPhone X starts at $999 — and there&#039;s a smarter way to buy it | work=Business Insider | date=October 26, 2017 | url=http://www.businessinsider.com/apple-iphone-upgrade-program-2017-8 | access-date=December 31, 2017}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Apple tightly controls certain aspects of the iPhone. According to [[Jonathan Zittrain]], the emergence of [[Proprietary hardware|closed devices]] like the iPhone have made computing more [[proprietary software|proprietary]] than early versions of [[Microsoft Windows]].&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite web|first=Brian|last=Braiker|title=A Killer Product: Will closed devices like Apple&#039;s iPhone murder the Web?|date=May 2, 2008|url=http://www.newsweek.com/id/135150|access-date=June 16, 2009|quote=Through historical accident, we&#039;ve ended up with a global network that pretty much allows anybody to communicate with anyone else at any time. Devices could be reprogrammed by them at any time, including code written by other people, so you don&#039;t have to be a nerd to get the benefits of reprogramming it. [But] this is a historical accident. Now, I see a movement away from that framework—even though it doesn&#039;t feel like a movement away. [For example,] an iPhone can only be changed by Steve Jobs or soon, with the software development kit, by programmers that he personally approves that go through his iPhone apps store. Or whimsical applications that run on the Facebook platform or the new Google apps. These are controllable by their vendors in ways that Bill Gates never dreamed of controlling Windows applications. [...] That&#039;s the ironic thing. Bill Gates is Mr. Proprietary. But for my purposes, even under the standard Windows operating system from 1990, 1991, you write the code, you can hand it to somebody else and they can run it. Bill Gates has nothing to say about it. So it&#039;s funny to think that by moving in Steve Jobs&#039;s direction it actually ends up far more proprietary.}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
===Activation===&lt;br /&gt;
The iPhone normally prevents access to its media player and web features unless it has also been activated as a phone with an authorized carrier. On July 3, 2007, [[Jon Lech Johansen]] reported on his blog that he had successfully bypassed this requirement and unlocked the iPhone&#039;s other features with a combination of custom software and modification of the iTunes binary. He published the software and offsets for others to use.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite news|url=http://nanocr.eu/2007/07/03/iphone-without-att/|title=iPhone Independence Day|work=nanocr.eu|first=Jon Lech|last=Johansen|author-link=Jon Lech Johansen|date=July 3, 2007|access-date=June 6, 2008}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Unlike the first generation iPhone, the iPhone 3G must be activated in the store in most countries.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite news|url=http://www.maclife.com/article/iphone_3g_in_store_activation_only|title=iPhone 3G&amp;amp;nbsp;– In-Store Activation Only|work=[[MacLife]]|first=Roberto|last=Baldwin|date=June 9, 2008|access-date=June 13, 2008}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; This makes the iPhone 3G more difficult, but not impossible, to hack. The need for in-store activation, as well as the huge number of first-generation iPhone and [[iPod Touch]] users upgrading to iPhone OS 2.0, caused a worldwide [[Web server#Overload causes|overload]] of Apple&#039;s [[server (computing)|servers]] on July 11, 2008, the day on which both the iPhone 3G and iPhone OS 2.0 updates as well as [[MobileMe]] were released. After the update, devices were required to connect to Apple&#039;s servers to authenticate it, causing many devices to be temporarily unusable.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite news|url=https://www.nytimes.com/2008/07/12/business/12iphone.html|title=iPhone Users Plagued by Software Problems|work=The New York Times|first=John|last=Markoff|author-link=John Markoff|date=July 12, 2008|access-date=July 13, 2008}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Users on the [[O2 (United Kingdom)|O2]] network in the United Kingdom, however, can buy the phone online and activate it via iTunes as with the previous model.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite web|url=http://store.apple.com/uk/browse/home/shop_iphone/family/iphone|title=iPhone 3G|publisher=Apple Store (UK)|access-date=May 14, 2009}}{{Unreliable source?|date=December 2017}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; Even where not required, vendors usually offer activation for the buyer&#039;s convenience. In the US, Apple has begun to offer free shipping on both the iPhone 3G and the iPhone 3GS (when available), reversing the in-store activation requirement. [[Best Buy]] and [[Walmart]] will also sell the iPhone.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;Buy iPhone&amp;quot;&amp;gt;{{cite web|url=https://www.apple.com/iphone/buy/|title=Apple&amp;amp;nbsp;– iPhone&amp;amp;nbsp;– Buy iPhone 3G|publisher=Apple Inc.|access-date=June 14, 2009}}{{verify source|date=April 2012}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Most iPhones were and are still{{citation needed|date=December 2017}} sold with a [[SIM lock]], which restricts the use of the phone to one particular carrier, a common practice with subsidized [[GSM]] phones. Unlike most GSM phones, however, the phone cannot be officially unlocked by entering a code.{{citation needed|date=December 2017}}  The locked/unlocked state is maintained on Apple&#039;s servers{{citation needed|date=December 2017}} per [[International Mobile Equipment Identity|IMEI]] and is set when the iPhone is activated.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite web|title=How to unlock your iPhone|url=https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201328|publisher=Apple Inc.|access-date=November 10, 2016}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;{{failed verification|reason=Doesn&#039;t mention code or where locked/unlocked state is stored|date=December 2017}}&lt;br /&gt;

While the iPhone was initially [[AT&amp;amp;T, the iPhone, and Tying of Smartphones and Service Providers|sold in the U.S. only on the AT&amp;amp;T network]] with a SIM lock in place, various hackers have found methods to &amp;quot;[[Unlock phone|unlock]]&amp;quot; the phone from a specific network.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite web|url=http://www.macworld.com/article/1060045/iphone_sim_unlocking.html|title=Unlocking an iPhone|last=Farivar|first=Cyrus|date=November 14, 2007|work=Macworld|access-date=May 25, 2009}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; Although AT&amp;amp;T, Sprint, T-Mobile and Verizon are the only authorized iPhone carriers in the United States{{citation needed|date=December 2017}}, unlocked iPhones can be used with other carriers.&amp;lt;ref name=bw&amp;gt;{{cite news|url=http://www.businessweek.com/technology/content/sep2008/tc2008091_106953.htm |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080904125629/http://www.businessweek.com/technology/content/sep2008/tc2008091_106953.htm |url-status=dead |archive-date=September 4, 2008 |title=What&#039;s Hot: Used Apple iPhones: After the iPhone 3G launch, consumers want the original, hackable iPhone, and vendors are springing up to sell them—for a premium |last=Kharif |first=Olga |work=BusinessWeek |date=September 2, 2008 |access-date=March 17, 2009 |df=mdy-all }}{{failed verification|reason=More carriers are authorized https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT204039|date=December 2017}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; For example, an unlocked iPhone may be used on the T-Mobile network in the U.S. but, while an unlocked iPhone is compatible with T-Mobile&#039;s &#039;&#039;voice&#039;&#039; network, it may not be able to make use of 3G or 4G functionality (i.e. no mobile web or e-mail, etc.).&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;AppleInsider, January 11, 2012&amp;quot;&amp;gt;[http://www.appleinsider.com/articles/12/01/11/t_mobile_ceo_says_frequency_band_issue_is_key_reason_for_lack_of_iphone.html T-Mobile CEO says frequency band issue is &#039;key reason&#039; for lack of iPhone].

Outside of the United States, policies differ, especially in U.S. territories and insular areas like [[Guam]]; [[GTA Teleguam]] was the exclusive carrier for the iPhone since its introduction, as none of the four U.S. carriers (AT&amp;amp;T, Sprint, T-Mobile, and Verizon) have a presence in the area.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;[https://web.archive.org/web/20091212205317/http://www.gta.net/guam-cell-phones/phones/iPhone/overview iPhone overview] from GTA TeleGuam&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; Since 2013, [[Docomo Pacific]] ended GTA&#039;s exclusivity starting with the iPhone 5.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite web|url=http://www.docomopacific.com/mobile/iphone|title=iPhone overview|publisher=[[Docomo Pacific]]|access-date=February 20, 2017}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Beginning April 8, 2012, AT&amp;amp;T began offering a factory SIM unlock option (which Apple calls a &amp;quot;whitelisting&amp;quot;, allowing it to be used on any carrier the phone supports) for iPhone owners.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{Cite web|url=https://www.att.com/support/|title=AT&amp;amp;T Customer Service &amp;amp; Support - AT&amp;amp;T Official Site|website=AT&amp;amp;T}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

It has been reported that all of the Verizon 4G&amp;amp;nbsp;LTE phones come factory unlocked. After such discovery, Verizon announced that all of their 4G&amp;amp;nbsp;LTE phones, including iPhones, would remain unlocked.

In Canada, all iPhones purchased for full retail price at an [[Apple Store]] or online at apple.com come unlocked which allows customer selection of carriers. iPhones sold in [[Canada]] purchased through mobile carries such as [[Telus Mobility|TELUS]], [[Rogers Wireless|Rogers]], or [[Bell Mobility|Bell]] were locked to their respective networks and unlocking required visiting a carrier store and paying an unlocking fee. Third-party methods to unlock iPhones existed but were highly unreliable and sometimes rendered phones unusable.{{Citation needed|date=April 2020}} However, in 2017 the [[Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission|CRTC]] abolished SIM-locking and required that all mobile devices sold after December 1, 2017, come unlocked.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{Cite web|url=https://www.cbc.ca/news/business/crtc-wireless-code-cellphone-1.4161711|title=CRTC bans cellphone unlocking fees, orders all new devices be unlocked |last=Harris|first=Sophia Harris|date=16 June 2017 |website=CBC|access-date=2018-12-16}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; The [[Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission|CRTC]] also mandated that carriers must offer unlocking services of existing devices for free to consumers, regardless of whether or not they had purchased the phone themselves.

=== Prevention of repair ===&lt;br /&gt;
{{expand section|date=April 2021}}&lt;br /&gt;
Apple takes numerous measures that make third-party repairs difficult. Only Apple and service providers / independent repair providers explicitly authorized by Apple are able to perform genuine replacements.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{Cite web|title=About genuine iPhone displays|url=https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT210321|access-date=2021-06-01|website=Apple Support|language=en}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In the past (with models as early as the [[iPhone 6]]), there have been reports such as denial of operation if the home button is detected to have been tampered with, upon which an &#039;&#039;Error 53&#039;&#039; is indicated instead.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite web |last1=Macro |first1=Ashleigh |title=Apple apologises, releases fix for iPhones bricked by Error 53 |url=https://www.macworld.co.uk/feature/what-is-iphone-error-53-3634865/ |website=Macworld UK |date=2018-07-26}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; There have also been issues caused by swapping a display made by one manufacturer with one made by another, as Apple uses multiple suppliers for its displays.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{Cite web|title=SOLVED: How do you fix the iPhone 7 ghost touch issue after screen replacement - iPhone 7|url=https://www.ifixit.com/Answers/View/415186/How+do+you+fix+the+iPhone+7+ghost+touch+issue+after+screen+replacement|access-date=2021-06-01|website=iFixit|language=en}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; &lt;br /&gt;

[[iFixit]] notes that a proprietary, cloud-linked System Configuration tool is required to &amp;quot;complete&amp;quot; a part repair, meaning that even replacing a genuine part with another genuine part will fail Apple&#039;s &amp;quot;genuine parts&amp;quot; check unless said tool is used.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{Cite web|date=2021-06-01|title=Is This the End of the Repairable iPhone?|url=https://www.ifixit.com/News/45921/is-this-the-end-of-the-repairable-iphone|access-date=2021-06-01|website=iFixit|language=en}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; &lt;br /&gt;

In the [[Philippines]], Solid Group launched the [[MyPhone]] brand in 2007. Stylized as &amp;quot;my|phone&amp;quot;, Solid Broadband filed a trademark application of that brand. Apple later filed a trademark case at the Intellectual Property Office of the Philippines (IPOPHL) against Solid Broadband&#039;s MyPhone for &amp;quot;confusingly similar&amp;quot; to the iPhone and that it may likely &amp;quot;deceive&amp;quot; or &amp;quot;cause confusion&amp;quot; among consumers. Apple lost the trademark battle to Solid Group in a 2015 decision made by IPO director Nathaniel Arevalo, who also reportedly said that it was unlikely that consumers would be confused between the &amp;quot;iPhone&amp;quot; and the &amp;quot;MyPhone&amp;quot;. &amp;quot;This is a case of a giant trying to claim more territory than what it is entitled to, to the great prejudice of a local &#039;Pinoy Phone&#039; merchant who has managed to obtain a significant foothold in the mobile phone market through the marketing and sale of innovative products under a very distinctive trademark&amp;quot;, Arevalo later added.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite news |last=Beltran |first=Sam |title=iPhone vs. MyPhone: Apple Loses in Trademark Case |url=http://www.wheninmanila.com/iphone-vs-myphone-apple-loses-in-trademark-case/ |access-date=June 4, 2015|date=June 3, 2015 |work=[[When In Manila]]}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite news |last=Gonzales |first=Yuji |title=Apple Loses Trademark Case vs PH&#039;s MyPhone|url=http://technology.inquirer.net/42511/apple-loses-trademark-case-vs-phs-myphone |access-date=June 4, 2015 |newspaper=[[Philippine Daily Inquirer]] |date=June 2, 2015}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

==Privacy issues==&lt;br /&gt;
===Location tracking controversies===&lt;br /&gt;
Around April 20, 2011, a [[hidden file and hidden directory|hidden]] [[encryption|unencrypted]] file on the iPhone and other iOS devices was widely discussed in the media.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite web|url=http://blog.csvance.com/?p=136|title=Consolidated.db: Final Thoughts|last=Vance|first=Christopher|date=April 20, 2011|access-date=April 25, 2011|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110424034023/http://blog.csvance.com/?p=136|archive-date=April 24, 2011|url-status=dead}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;Wired1&amp;quot;&amp;gt;{{cite news|url=https://www.wired.com/gadgetlab/2011/04/iphone-tracks|title=iPhone Tracks Your Every Move, and There&#039;s a Map for That|work=Wired|date=April 20, 2011|access-date=April 22, 2011|author=Chen, Brian X.}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; It was alleged that the file, labeled &amp;quot;consolidated.db&amp;quot;, constantly stores the iPhone user&#039;s movement by approximating geographic locations calculated by [[Mobile phone tracking|triangulating nearby cell phone towers]], a technology proven to be inaccurate at times.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;O&#039;Reilly&amp;quot;&amp;gt;{{cite web|url=http://radar.oreilly.com/2011/04/more-iphone-tracking-research.html|title=Additional iPhone tracking research|publisher=[[O&#039;Reilly Media]]|date=April 24, 2011|access-date=April 25, 2011|author=Warden, Pete}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; The file was released with the June 2010 update of Apple [[iOS4]] and may contain almost a year&#039;s worth of data. Previous versions of iOS stored similar information in a file called &amp;quot;h-cells.plist&amp;quot;.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite web|url=http://alexlevinson.wordpress.com/2011/04/21/3-major-issues-with-the-latest-iphone-tracking-discovery|title=3 Major Issues with the Latest iPhone Tracking &amp;quot;Discovery&amp;quot;|last=Levinson|first=Alex|date=April 21, 2011|access-date=April 25, 2011}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[F-Secure]] discovered that the data is transmitted to Apple twice a day and postulate that Apple is using the information to construct their global location database similar to the ones constructed by Google and [[Skyhook Wireless|Skyhook]] through [[wardriving]].&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite web|url=http://www.f-secure.com/weblog/archives/00002145.html|title=Actually, iPhone sends your location to Apple twice a day|last=Hyppönen|first=Mikko|author-link=Mikko Hyppönen|date=April 21, 2011|access-date=April 25, 2011 }}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; Nevertheless, unlike the [[Google]] &amp;quot;Latitude&amp;quot; application, which performs a similar task on [[Android (operating system)|Android]] phones, the file is not dependent upon signing a specific [[End-user license agreement|EULA]] or even the user&#039;s knowledge, but it is stated in the 15,200 word-long [[terms and conditions]] of the iPhone that &amp;quot;Apple and [their] partners and licensees may collect, use, and share precise location data, including the real-time geographic location of [the user&#039;s] Apple computer or device&amp;quot;.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite news |first=Charles |last=Arthur |title=iPhone keeps record of everywhere you go |url=https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2011/apr/20/iphone-tracking-prompts-privacy-fears |work=[[The Guardian]] |date=April 20, 2011 |access-date=March 23, 2017}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The file is also automatically copied onto the user&#039;s computer once synchronized with the iPhone. An [[open-source software|open-source application]] named &amp;quot;iPhoneTracker&amp;quot;, which turns the data stored in the file into a visual map, was made available to the public in April 2011.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;GitHub&amp;quot;&amp;gt;{{cite web|url=https://petewarden.github.com/iPhoneTracker|title=iPhone Tracker|work=[[GitHub]]|access-date=April 22, 2011|author=Allan, Alasdair|author2=Warden, Pete}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; While the file cannot be erased without [[iOS jailbreaking|jailbreaking]] the phone, it can be encrypted.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;Time&amp;quot;&amp;gt;{{cite news|url=http://techland.time.com/2011/04/22/how-to-encrypt-your-iphones-location-data-consolidated-db|title=How to Encrypt The Location Data of your iPhone (Consolidated.db)|work=Time|date=April 22, 2011|access-date=April 22, 2011|author=Aamoth, Doug}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Apple gave an official response on their web site on April 27, 2011,&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;Apple-location-FAQ&amp;quot;&amp;gt;{{cite press release|url=https://www.apple.com/pr/library/2011/04/27location_qa.html|date=April 27, 2011|access-date=June 7, 2011|publisher=Apple Inc.|title=Apple Q&amp;amp;A on Location Data|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110607035322/http://www.apple.com/pr/library/2011/04/27location_qa.html|archive-date=June 7, 2011|df=mdy-all}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; after questions were submitted by users, the [[Associated Press]] and others. Apple clarified that the data is a small portion of their crowd-sourced location database cache of Wi-Fi hotspots and cell towers which is downloaded from Apple into the iPhone for making location services faster than with only GPS, therefore the data does not represent the locations of the iPhone. The volume of data retained was an error. Apple issued an update for iOS (version [[IOS version history#4.3.3|4.3.3]], or [[IOS version history#4.2.8|4.2.8]] for the CDMA iPhone 4) which reduced the size of the cache, stopped it being backed up to iTunes, and erased it entirely whenever location services were turned off.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;Apple-location-FAQ&amp;quot; /&amp;gt; The upload to Apple can also be selectively disabled from &amp;quot;System services&amp;quot;, &amp;quot;Cell Network Search.&amp;quot; Regardless, in July 2014, a report on state-owned China Central Television labeled the iPhone a &amp;quot;national security concern.&amp;quot;&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;iPhoneChina&amp;quot;&amp;gt;{{cite news|title=Influential China TV alleges iPhone exposing &#039;state secrets&#039;|url=http://www.beijingnews.net/index.php/sid/223727225/scat/3a8a80d6f705f8cc/ht/Influential-China-TV-alleges-iPhone-exposing-state-secrets|access-date=July 10, 2014|work=Beijing News.Net}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The &amp;quot;Frequent Locations&amp;quot; feature found in &amp;quot;Settings&amp;quot; under &amp;quot;Location Services&amp;quot; stores commonly visited locations locally on the device.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite web|title=About privacy and Location Services in iOS 8 and later|url=https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT203033|website=Apple|access-date = September 4, 2018}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; This feature is said to help the accuracy of the GPS and Apple Maps since it can log information about the locations the user has frequently visited. However, this feature also keeps track of the number of times that the user has been to that location, the dates, and the exact times. Media outlets have publicized instructions on how this can be disabled for concerned users.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite web|title = Your iPhone Knows Exactly Where You&#039;ve Been And This Is How To See It|url = https://www.buzzfeed.com/jimwaterson/your-iphone-knows-exactly-where-youve-been-and-this-is-how-t |website = BuzzFeed|access-date = October 27, 2015}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Transmission of private and technical data===&lt;br /&gt;
A privacy experiment conducted by the Washington Post determined that the iPhone transmitted a host of personal data without the user&#039;s knowledge or consent, including phone number, email, exact location, device model and [[IP address]], to &amp;quot;a dozen marketing companies, research firms and other personal data guzzlers&amp;quot; via 5,400 hidden app trackers.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{Cite news|last=Fowler|first=Geoffrey A.|title=Perspective {{!}} It&#039;s the middle of the night.

&lt;br /&gt;
===Encryption and intelligence agency access===&lt;br /&gt;
It was revealed as a part of the [[2013 mass surveillance disclosures]] that the American and British intelligence agencies, the [[National Security Agency]] (NSA) and the [[Government Communications Headquarters]] (GCHQ) have access to the user data in iPhones, BlackBerrys, and Android phones, respectively. They can read almost all smartphone information, including SMS, location, emails, and notes.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;spiegel20130907&amp;quot;&amp;gt;{{cite news|url=http://www.spiegel.de/international/world/a-920971.html|title= Privacy Scandal: NSA Can Spy on Smart Phone Data|date=September 7, 2013|access-date=September 7, 2013|author=&amp;lt;!--Staff writer(s); no by-line.--&amp;gt;}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Apple&#039;s marketing, building on successful iPod campaigns, helped the phone become a mass-market product with many buyers on launch day.

The dominant mobile operating systems at the time such as [[Symbian]], [[BlackBerry OS]], and [[Windows Mobile]] were not designed to handle tasks beyond communication and basic functions. These operating systems never focused on applications and developers, and due to infighting among manufacturers as well as the complexity of developing on their low-memory hardware, they never developed a thriving [[Apple ecosystem|ecosystem]] like Apple&#039;s [[App Store (iOS)|App Store]] or [[Android (operating system)|Android]]&#039;s [[Google Play]].&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;Symbian_collapse&amp;quot;/&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite news|last=Streitfeld|first=David|title=As Boom Lures App Creators, Tough Part Is Making a Living|url=https://www.nytimes.com/2012/11/18/business/as-boom-lures-app-creators-tough-part-is-making-a-living.html|access-date=April 2, 2013|newspaper=The New York Times|date=November 17, 2012}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; [[iPhone OS]] (renamed iOS in 2010) was designed with capabilities such as multitasking and graphics to meet future consumer demands.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;theglobeandmail.com&amp;quot;&amp;gt;{{cite news|url=https://www.theglobeandmail.com/globe-investor/rims-long-road-to-reinvent-the-blackberry/article7901031/ |title=RIM&#039;s long road to reinvent the BlackBerry |work=The Globe and Mail |access-date=June 13, 2013 |location=Toronto |date=January 28, 2013}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; Many services were provided by mobile carriers, who often extensively customized devices.

Before the iPhone, &amp;quot;Handsets were viewed largely as cheap, disposable lures, massively subsidized to snare subscribers and lock them into using the carriers&#039; proprietary services.&amp;quot;  However, &#039;&#039;[[Wired (magazine)|Wired]]&#039;&#039; wrote, &amp;quot;Apple retained complete control over the design, manufacturing, and marketing of the iPhone&amp;quot;, meaning that it and not the carrier would control the software updates, and by extension security patches.  By contrast, Google has allowed carriers and OEMs to dictate the &amp;quot;pace of upgrades and pre-load phones with their own software on top of [[Android (operating system)|Android]]&amp;quot;. As a result, many Android OEMs often lag months behind Google&#039;s release of the next iteration of Android; although [[Google Nexus]] and [[Google Pixel|Pixel]] devices are guaranteed two years of operating system updates and a third additional year for security. However, Apple has supported older iterations of iPhones for over four years.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;arstechnica.com&amp;quot;/&amp;gt; Some of the newer generations of iPhone have hit six years of support.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{Cite web|title=These Are the iPhones That Can Upgrade to iOS 14|url=https://ios.gadgethacks.com/how-to/these-are-iphones-can-upgrade-ios-14-0315141/|access-date=2020-06-12|website=Gadget Hacks|language=en}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

The continued top popularity of the iPhone despite growing Android competition was also attributed to Apple being able to deliver [[iOS]] updates over the air, while [[Android (operating system)|Android]] updates are frequently impeded by carrier testing requirements and hardware tailoring, forcing consumers to purchase a new Android smartphone to get the latest version of that OS.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite web |first=Natasha |last=Lomas |title=iPhone Brand Outshines Samsung&#039;s Galaxy As iPhone 5 Becomes Best-Selling Smartphone Globally In Q4, iPhone 4S 2nd – Analyst |url=https://techcrunch.com/2013/02/20/iphone-brand-outshines-samsungs-galaxy-as-iphone-5-becomes-best-selling-smartphone-globally-in-q4-iphone-4s-2nd-analyst/ |work=[[TechCrunch]] |date=February 20, 2013 |access-date=March 23, 2017}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; However, by 2013, Apple&#039;s market share had fallen to 13.1%, due to the surging popularity of the Android offerings.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite web |title=Apple&#039;s smartphone market share slips |url=https://www.usatoday.com/story/tech/2013/07/26/apples-smartphone-market-share-slips/2589047/ |work=[[USA Today]] |date=July 26, 2013 |access-date=March 23, 2017}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;&#039;&#039;&#039;Good Morning&#039;&#039;&#039;&amp;quot; is a song by American [[Hip hop music|hip hop]] recording artist and record producer [[Kanye West]] from his third studio album &#039;&#039;[[Graduation (album)|Graduation]]&#039;&#039; (2007). The song was produced by West and contains [[Sampling (music)|samples]] from the recording &amp;quot;[[Someone Saved My Life Tonight]]&amp;quot; by English singer and pianist [[Elton John]]. As the opening track, the song serves as an introduction to the musical and lyrical themes of the album. West establishes the academic narrative of it, celebrating his graduation in the realm of [[hip hop]] and rapping about his skepticism of higher education over thumping, off-kilter [[boom bap]] drums.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The composition of &amp;quot;Good Morning&amp;quot; is both light and dark in tone and retains [[Electronic keyboard|keyboard]]-laden, [[Electronic music|electronic]] instrumentation in addition to being imbued with poignant introspection. The song&#039;s atmospheric [[hip hop production]] harbors a subdued measure of [[Progressive music|progressiveness]] as West incorporates [[New-age music|New-Age]] and [[Ambient music|ambient]] elements. His pensive verses are largely built on [[Braggadocio (rap)|self-aggrandizing]] undercut with [[self-criticism]] and explore lyrical concerns pertaining to [[anti-establishment]]. The song&#039;s lyrics express motivational declarations of triumph and contain numerous [[Popular culture|pop-culture]] references.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;Good Morning&amp;quot; received generally favorable reviews from contemporary [[Music journalism|music critics]], who praised its production as well as West&#039;s [[Word play|wordplay]]. West performed the song as the opener of the [[Setlist|set-list]] on his worldwide [[Glow in the Dark Tour]] (2008). In the years since its release, the song has been [[Cover version|covered]] and [[Remix#Urban music|remixed]] by a variety of hip hop artists, record producers and musical groups.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Though not released as a [[Single (music)|single]], an animated [[music video]] was produced for &amp;quot;Good Morning&amp;quot;. The video was directed by [[Japanese people|Japanese]] contemporary artist [[Takashi Murakami]], who had designed the [[album artwork]] of &#039;&#039;Graduation&#039;&#039; and the [[cover art]] for the album&#039;s singles. The surrealistic visuals of the video take influences from Japanese [[animé]] and utilises [[Cel shading|cel-shaded animation]]. The narrative is centered around West&#039;s [[Anthropomorphism#Modern literature|anthropomorphic]] teddy bear mascot Dropout Bear. He overcomes various obstacles while racing through a futuristic city in an effort to reach his college campus in time for his graduation ceremony. The short animated feature was released to widespread critical acclaim and is often cited as one of West&#039;s most artistic music videos. It was included in the &#039;best-of&#039; lists of publications such as &#039;&#039;[[Billboard (magazine)|Billboard]]&#039;&#039; and &#039;&#039;[[Complex (magazine)|Complex]]&#039;&#039;, and has been showcased in multiple [[art museum]]s.&lt;br /&gt;

Kanye is notoriously known for making a whole lot of last-minute decisions that will either make or break the anticipated outcome, similar to how Doc Brown&#039;s sudden assertions dictated whether or not someone would just stay stuck 30 years in the past forever.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite web|author=Cho, Regina |title=Celebrating The Anniversary Of &#039;Back To The Future&#039; Through The Eyes Of Hip-Hop |url=http://www.vibe.com/2018/07/back-to-the-future-hip-hop-impact/|work=[[Vibe (magazine)|Vibe]] |date=2018-07-03|access-date=2018-07-06}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/blockquote&amp;gt; &lt;br /&gt;

For his contribution, Murakami has benefited significantly from the artistic collaboration with West.
