Journey of Apple From Its First iPhone to the Latest iPhone 7

The tech juggernaut Apple is known for its revolutionary high-end iPhone devices which has boosted the smartphone market with their rich features and eccentric functionality. Since the launch of its first iPhone in 2007, the company has never looked back and now, here it it-the renowned manufacturer of premium iPhone devices for which people seem ready to sell their one kidney.

However, several products have been discontinued, some are available, and some are in the hot trends. So, you are free to buy an Apple mobile which attracts you most and can also fit within your budget. Let's take a ride to the evolution of Apple's mobiles and find how Apple has changed since then.

First iPhone:

The First iPhone was unwrapped among the world in January, 2007 by CEO Steve Job. However, it was reached in the market in June 2007 with its two storage variants- 4GB and 8GB that were very expensive. This device won the hearts due to its multi-touch screen of 3.5-inch with a 2 Mega Pixel camera. However, the camera is good enough at that time, but was not praised by users due to the very poor quality.

iPhone 3G Series:

Just a year after, the company brought iPhone 3G which was capable in offering 3G data connectivity along with several new features at cheaper price than the predecessor. the tech giant had integrated GPS in the smartphone and also introduced it in 8GB and new 16GB variant.

Another year and another model with faster performance than the predecessors- the iPhone 3GS. A faster iPhone 3.0 OS powered smartphone was launched in 8GB, 16GB, and 32GB variant. This handset was praised by its users and onlookers for its quality built and impressive features.

iPhone 4 Series:

The June, 2010 gave the world a chance to applaud for big enhancements in technology era through its new product launch. The iPhone 4 was unwrapped with Retina display and introduced Face Time video chat option as well, without increasing the price tag for its 16GB and 32GB variants. The name of iPhone OS has been changed with upgrade, and made this device ran on iPhone Operating System 4.

This is the year when the new CEO Tim Cook took the place of Steve Jobs due to his sickness. The new CE) came with new energy and started making efforts in the advancement of the new device. Thus, the iPhone 4S series was announced with dual-core processor in three storage models- 16GB, 32GB, and new 64GB.

iPhone 5 Series:

In 2012, technology had been getting upgraded and thus, it became necessary for Apple to make something good changes in its next iPhone's design and features. Tim Cook announced in September 2012 a faster and slimmer iPhone with a 4-inch screen, without making any change in the price tag for 16GB, 32GB, and 64GB models. This phone very soon became the biggest hit due to its advanced features and sleek built.

The year 2013 brought new hues along with two new devices- the iPhone 5C and iPhone 5S. The former was introduced to give an opportunity to experience a classic smartphone to those who are on a budget. While the iPhone 5S was available with faster 64-bit A7 processor and a Touch ID. Motion data processor was also introduced this year in the iPhone 5C for accessing health and fitness apps.

iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus Series:

In 2014, the tech giant kept its new launch style maintained by again introducing two devices the same year. The iPhone 6 and 6 Plus were unwrapped, which had just changed the vision of people for Apple. Revolutionary upgrades in design, features, and functionalities were introduced this year. iPhone 6 and 6 Plus were launched with 4.7-inch and 5.5-inch screen. Curved edges, A8 processor, iPhone Operating System 8, NFC, Apple Pay, upgraded camera, Face Time camera, and a lot of other staggering features were given by the tech juggernaut this year to compel the world.

These two devices have proven that Apple won't stop surprising the world with its revolutionary upgrades. A new force touch technology called 3D Touch made entry in these two devices along with an improved camera module, faster A9 chip, and a new color.

iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus:

Wonders will never cease! 2016 just knocked the socks off with upgraded camera, faster processor, improved battery life, and a deadly throwback (elimination of headphone jack) in the new iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus. The home button has changed, quad-core A10 Fusion chip is breaking the floor with its fastest performance result, new colors, a monstrous storage variant, dual camera, and a lot of other advanced and cutting-edge features have been integrated in these two new devices.

This is the story of Apple since its first iPhone launch. If you really admire its smartphones, then you can buy Apple iPhone 7 online at the best price. Just give a thought to your requirement and decide your budget and then, go for the purchase.

Smartphones - Which One Should I Buy?

Smartphones are beautiful, so beautiful in fact that many manufacturers are beginning to place female voices inside your phone so they seem more lively and vibrant, too bad that they don't substitute for a girlfriend. However, as beautiful and elegant as smartphone maybe you may find it difficult to choose the right one for you. With so many different options in the market, how do you decide which one is the best for you? Here, I'm going to share with you my five tips for choosing the right smartphone.

Rank Your Priorities: I don't mean keep a written note of what you look for in a phone, it's better to keep a mental note or an idea. When I say priorities, I mean what aspects of a smartphone do you find important. Maybe you need a phone that cost under $400 or with a really good camera. A bright and beautiful screen, even a stylus or maybe you need a phone just for watching funny videos. As long as you know your top two or three priorities for your smartphone, you should be able to narrow down certain phones and then make a decision from there.

Don't Be Afraid To Buy Old Phones: A lot of people will tell you that they need those brand new smartphones with the best and brand new specs. That doesn't mean you need such phone too! In a few months time the iPhone 7 will be one year old, but the previous launch i.e. iPhone 6 is still considered as a very good smartphone. So, when you're looking for the right smartphone look to the older generations of the smartphones as well, because often times you'll find phones that are still very good and are also cheaper.

Don't Feel The Need To Buy High-Priced Smartphones: Many smartphone manufacturers are moving toward this trend. You can still find some cool features and durable smartphones at a price that is lower than most high-end smartphones. Ever since I bought the OnePlus 1 for under $350, I've been so impressed with what companies can provide for such a low price. On the other I find the Galaxy Note 5, which costs over $800, is way too expensive and iPhone 6 price is just reasonable. The point is that your smartphone does not need to be expensive to be a great quality.

Think About Your Smartphone's Accessories: These accessories include chargers, battery packs, cases and pretty much anything you can either attach or connect to your smartphone. We do rely on a lot of these accessories, so you need to look for a well-established phone like the iPhone or the popular Android phones built by companies such as, Samsung, LG, Motorola. You probably won't find many accessories with smaller names or new brands, just think about whether or not you need them.

iPhones Are Very Basic: I'm not saying people who use iPhones are basic, don't get me wrong! What I am saying, however, is that I would have an easier time learning to use an iPhone then if I were learning to use any other smartphone. It's a fantastic phone an very convenient because most accessories work with iPhones. They always have great cameras and apple services even though considered overpriced are excellent in terms of keeping everything you own all in one place. I'm not saying to put the iPhone is your number one option, but I am saying that if you're looking for a high-quality device that's simple and easy to use go for the iPhone. Like I mentioned above, look to the older models of smartphones because many of them are still brilliant smartphones.

So, that's it guys I hope you've enjoyed reading it and hope have learnt something good as well.

You will find there pretty helpful reviews and hands-on experiences of different tech related products by the experts.

Avoid The Flu With A Clean Cell Phone Screen

This year, we've seen the worst flu season in many years. In fact, because of the type of flu strain that seems to have reached near-epidemic status, of those who received a flu vaccine, only six out of ten will avoid getting the flu. The good news is if you do get the vaccine and still contract the flu, your symptoms are said to be much milder. Even so, no one wants to be down and out for a week to ten days with this type of illness, so it's important to protect yourself as much as you can. That means frequently washing your hands, avoiding touching your face as much as possible, and taking extra precautions to clean the air and surfaces you come in contact with on a regular basis. That includes using anti-bacterial wipes on your desk and phone at work, and making sure you have a clean cell phone screen too.

How Do You Get The Flu?

Experts believe that you get the flu by coming into contact with someone who has the flu. If that person sneezes or coughs, the germs travel through the air and the tiny droplets land in your nose or mouth, gross. However, those airborne water droplets can also land on the surfaces around you. This is the 'viral' part of the sickness and it happens very easily. The statistics demonstrate a need for additional precautions to be taken, including cleaning things you touch regularly. One of those things is definitely your cell phone.

Maintain A Clean Cell Phone Screen

During flu season, you might want to avoid allowing a stranger or even a friend to use your cell phone, which is pretty good advice all the time actually. However, keeping your cell phone fairly sequestered won't keep it free from any particles that might be in the air. There are various companies that have made it easier for you to make sure you have a clean cell phone screen during flu season with screen cleaners. The two most popular product on the market are Microfiber Cloths, which can be kept right in your purse, pocket, or a drawer in your desk and are microfiber patches of cloth, and Screen Cleaner Stickers, which are microfiber cloths that adhere to the back of your phone for easy access.

The Microfiber Cloths can be tossed into your washing machine periodically to ensure that they stay clean. Simply wash with like other common materials, and avoid bleach, fabric softeners or dryer sheets for the best results. Sticky Screen Cleaners are an easier alternative because they attach to your phone itself, and they usually come in a variety of designs. These can be washed by hand in a sink with some gentle soap.

You use your cell phone during the day quite a bit, touching it to your face and hands and checking it constantly. Even if you set it down on a table, or leave it in your open purse, airborne germs can come into contact with it. Microfiber is a great choice for cleaning your cell phone because it uses an electrical charge to attract and remove particles, dirt, and germs.

Take a look at some of the products that are out there, as there are many great options that can help you stay well this season.

iPhone 4 Vs DROID Incredible - Smartphone Titans Reviewed

DROID Incredible Compared with iPhone 4

With the iPhone 4 now being officially released, the real question on everyone's mind is, "How is it going to stack up against the currently superior DROID Incredible?" Well, we finally have that answer, and it looks like Apple has done it again. The new iPhone 4 packs quite a punch especially considering many of it's features are not only comparably better than that of the DROID Incredible but also outside the realm of possibilities for the DROID Incredible due to Apple's proprietary software and hardware. This isn't to say that the iPhone 4 is better in every aspect however, there are many features that the DROID Incredible still offers that the iPhone simply can't match. Even so, it's been a hard fought battle up to this point for about the past year with regards to market share, but with this new release I see nothing short of a landslide victory in the coming months. The real competition that the iPhone 4 will now face is the HTC EVO.

A couple of reasons the DROID incredible has seen such a large gain in market share during this period is due to two reasons. One, the enormous marketing push to show how and why the DROID Incredible was better than the iPhone 3GS, plus the DROID Incredible's ability to multi task. Now that Apple's OS 4 operating system that comes with the iPhone 4 allows multi tasking though, the DROID Incredible may not be so "credible" at all. One of the biggest differences between the two platforms is the number of apps available for each. The iPhone 4 comes with the Apple Store's 215,000 plus apps, while DROID's Incredible can only boast around 70,000. A lot of times, this and this alone is the reason that many buyers choose Apple's phone products versus the DROID's. Since you are taking the time to read this however, I will assume you want a little more info on both to help you make your decision and that is why we put together a thorough comparison of both platforms main selling points and features. Hope you find it useful!

Cosmetics

Apple is of course known for their sleek designs and the iPhone 4 isn't going to be the exception. The new phone comes with a stainless steel band that couples as the iPhone 4 antenna is engineered to be 4 times stronger than steel and allows for the extra thin and rigid design. In addition to the stainless steel band, both the front and back are made with engineered aluminosilcate glass (the same stuff used in high speed trains and helicopters). The glass is designed to be 20 times stiffer and 30 times stronger than plastic. Also it's extremely durable. In comparison, the DROID Incredible... well... it's plastic. No comparison needed here, the iPhone has much more curb appeal.

Size and Weight (Dimensions)

The new iPhone 4 weighs in at 4.8 ounces (137 grams) and measures 4.5 inches (H) by 2.31 inches (W) by 0.37 inches (D). The DROID Incredible comparably weighs in 4.59 inches (130 grams) and measures 4.63 inches (H) by 2.3 inches (W) by 0.47 inches (D). As you can see the differences here aren't that astonishing. The iPhone 4 dimensions differs slightly in weight and the depth is considerably thinner than that of the DROID incredible. This is as a result of many of the internal factors that Apple painstakingly designed in to fit perfectly in their new glass metallic casing. However, for most consumers, this really won't be a factor when considering which device to purchase.

Networks--Cellular/Wireless

Verizon and Alltel use the Dual Band CDMA 2000 system they offer for the DROID Incredible. AT&T will continue its affiliation with the iPhone 4 as expected, operating their GSM/EDGE network. For more detailed differences please review the article on our website comparing AT&T's network to Verizon's.

As for wireless capabilities both the iPhone 4 and DROID Incredible offer 802.11 b/g/n. Additionally each also offer Bluetooth 2.1 + EDR and I believe the new iPhone 4 is going to offer wireless tethering via the OS 4 release which will allow for automatic syncing much like the MacBook's and other current Apple devices.

The current cellular carrier, AT&T probably accounts for the majority of all complaints with the current iPhone 3GS. Some may find this to be a huge factor in which phone they choose, and AT&T and Apple both know this and thus have made promises to make their network much stronger. This would help to resolve the current issues of dropping calls and spotty 3G coverage that users complain of so often. Even though they may have "promised" to do so, they seem to be dropping the ball on it as those changes have yet to be noticed by the majority of iPhone users. So keep in mind that at this point, if you go with the iPhone 4, your probably going to have some of the same encounters with network problems that everyone else is having right now.

Services Location Based

The iPhone 3GS previously offered maps and directions via Google Maps through a proprietary app, but with the release of the iPhone 4 they will now have assisted GPS and also their all important standard "digital compass," which, in my opinion is probably the most useless item on the entire phone. Also, as before the location services will be performed via wi-fi and cellular triangulation services. As for the DROID Incredible, they will be offering Google Maps with Navigation, which has been offered on the previous DROID versions as well. There is not a huge difference here either but it would appear that the Android compatible DROID Incredible may have slightly better offerings as it is coupled directly with Googles navigation services and their support will be a decisive advantage for not only the DROID Incredible but all phones taking advantage of the Android OS.

Power and Battery

The iPhone 4 carries with it the power of a lithium ion battery which is rechargeable via a USB connection with a computer or by plugging it into a wall with a standard power adapter. DROID's Incredible can do the same thing and comes with rechargeable lithium ion battery too. The battery for the DROID can be taken out though which allows you the ability to replace it with another battery if the one your using goes dead. Who really cares though unless your going out of town somewhere like camping or something and don't have any outlets for power around anywhere and no car charger. If this is the case, you probably won't need to charge it anyway because you may just not want to deal with it for a few days.

Being the second phone to come to market has given the iPhone 4 a chance to step up its game a little in the battery department however in regards to talk, standby, and usage times. This new smartphone can give you a seriously nasty 7 hours of total talk time if your using 3G, 14 hours if using 2G, and when your on standby, you can get in the 300 hour range! Plus when it comes to internet use, surf around as much as you like for about 6 hours if using 3G and about 10 if using your Wi-fi connection. Plus if you love videos and music like some do, the iPhone 4 will offer about 10 hours of video play and when listening to your favorite music you will be able to chill for like 40 hours.

In comparison, the DROID Incredible offers around 312 minutes of usage time with 146 hours of standby via their provided specs on Verizon.com. Not nearly a match for the far more advanced and larger iPhone 4 battery. For most users who plug in their device every night anyway, this doesn't become a huge issue. For the power hungry and media intensive users however, the iPhone 4 may be the best option.

Memory Storage Capacity

Although the new iPhone 4 was expected to provide up to 64GB of internal memory, the actual spec came out to be the same as the iPhone 3GS upscale model at 32GB of total internal memory. They also offer a 16GB version much like was previously offered when the 3GS entered the market. By comparison the DROID Incredible offers a only 8GB of internal memory with expansion capability of up to 16 GB via a mircoSD card for a total 24GB of storage. This may not seem like an overly large difference until you consider the fact that you cannot store apps on the 16GB of external memory.

Both phones should be able to bring plenty enough memory for pretty much any and all users requirements. If you are a big fan of downloading a lot of different apps, the iPhone 4 is going to be the best option. If you use your smartphone for other things like music, videos, and photos however, the DROID Incredible may be the best choice for one main reason. You can place all your videos, music, and photos on to separate microSD cards and then swap in and out the cards depending on which medium you want to check out at that point. They really are both great options for varying reasons.

Display

Now is when the two phones begin to separate themselves with some pretty ENORMOUS differences. The DROID Incredible and the iPhone 4 were both pretty evenly matched until now. When Apple stepped up the competition to a new level with a display that brings an amazing 960 x 640 pixel screen resolution and 326 ppi, they rained on DROID's parade. The DROID Incredible has what was a fairly brilliant 800 x 480 pixel screen res, and a slightly larger display (3.7") than the iPhone 4 (3.5"). The larger screen and less pixels will make an obvious picture difference, and when we begin discussing both phones cameras below, it will stick out like a sore thumb too.

In addition to the better pixel ratio's the iPhone 4 also offers a fingerprint-resistant oleophobic coating on not only the front screen, but the back of the device as well. The contrast for the device is also significantly better at 800:1.

These are only a few of the comparisons of the iPhone 4 to the DROID Incredible. Hopefully it helped, and if you would like even more info on this phone, just visit our iPhone-DROID site(links below) for more info.
