The History of the iPhone

The iPhone, a product by Apple Inc., revolutionized the smartphone industry since its debut in 2007. The original iPhone, introduced by Steve Jobs on 9 January, 2007, at the Macworld Conference & Expo, was a breakthrough in mobile technology. It featured a 3.5-inch display with a multi-touch interface, a novel concept at the time, eliminating the need for a physical keyboard or stylus. The iPhone combined a mobile phone, an iPod, and an internet communication device into one compact gadget, paving the way for the modern smartphone era.

The initial release on 29 June 2007, saw tremendous success, selling over 6 million units despite being limited to 2G connectivity and lacking features like GPS, video recording, and third-party apps. The introduction of the App Store in July 2008 with the iPhone 3G marked another milestone, enabling users to download third-party applications and significantly expanding the device's functionality. The iPhone 3G also introduced GPS and 3G connectivity, which improved internet browsing and location services.

Subsequent models like the iPhone 3GS (2009) and iPhone 4 (2010) brought incremental hardware improvements, with the latter featuring a high-resolution "Retina" display, front-facing camera, and improved design. The iPhone 4S (2011) introduced Siri, a voice-activated virtual assistant that has become a staple feature of iOS.

The iPhone 5 (2012) marked the first major redesign, featuring a larger 4-inch screen and the introduction of the Lightning connector. Apple continued to innovate with the iPhone 5S and 5C (2013), the former introducing Touch ID, a fingerprint recognition feature, and the latter offering a more affordable option with colorful plastic casings.

In 2014, the iPhone 6 and 6 Plus launched, boasting larger screens (4.7 and 5.5 inches respectively) and a more rounded design. This was followed by the iPhone 6S and 6S Plus (2015), which introduced 3D Touch, allowing the screen to distinguish between different levels of pressure.

The iPhone SE (2016) catered to fans of smaller phones, featuring the iPhone 5S design with updated internals from the iPhone 6S. The iPhone 7 and 7 Plus (2016) introduced water resistance, stereo speakers, and a dual-camera system on the Plus model.

The iPhone X (2017) represented a significant leap forward, with a nearly bezel-less OLED display, Face ID facial recognition, and the removal of the home button. The iPhone 8 and 8 Plus, released alongside, offered wireless charging and improved cameras.

The iPhone XS, XS Max, and XR (2018) built on the X's design, with the XS Max offering the largest display ever on an iPhone. The iPhone 11 series (2019) introduced a more affordable model (iPhone 11) and enhanced camera capabilities with the Pro models featuring a triple-camera system.

In 2020, the iPhone 12 series introduced 5G connectivity and a new flat-edged design reminiscent of the iPhone 4. The series included the iPhone 12 mini, catering to users preferring smaller devices. The iPhone 13 series (2021) focused on camera improvements and battery life enhancements.

Roaming is when you take and use your phone outside of the UK to make and receive calls, texts or use data.

Networks offer a range of daily charges (depending on where you are travelling) to access your UK allowance whilst you are roaming. Typically this allows you to do the following with no further charges:

- Make and receive calls and texts to the UK

- Make and receive calls within the country you are visiting

- Use your data allowance up to its maximum (although unlimited plans always have a fair usage limit on use abroad - 25GB for all networks except Three which limits use to 12GB)

However, not all countries are covered by daily roaming fees. In these cases you will be charged 'out of bundle' rates to make calls, send texts or use data. In some countries this can be very expensive, and we advise you to check your contract to see which countries are covered by daily roaming charges.

Note also that whilst you are roaming, only calls to the UK or numbers within the country you are visiting are included. If you call a 3rd country then that counts as an international call and you will be charged accordingly. Always check with us if you are unsure!
