iPhone 5S: Touch ID Is Here
The Cupertino based giant released the iPhone 5S back in 2013 with one major new technology. This was the first iPhone to introduce Touch ID. The fingerprint sensor provided a secure and convenient way to unlock the device and authorize purchases. It has now become a staple in the smartphone industry. But beyond the security feature, the iPhone 5S was powered by Apple’s A7 chip, marking the first 64-bit processor in a smartphone and delivering improved performance and efficiency. The device also saw a refinement in design as well.
iPhone 6/6 Plus: The Mass-Market King

It brought a bigger screen, thinner body, ergonomic design, and much more, which helped this device stand out from the crowd. The addition of features like Apple Pay and improved camera performance further enhanced their appeal. In the top selling mobile phones of all time, the iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus took a combined third place with over 220 million units shipping worldwide.
iPhone X: The Future Redefined
Celebrating the 10th anniversary of the iPhone, the iPhone X was released in 2017 and revolutionized the smartphone with its near bezel-less design and introduction of Face ID. This replaced the Touch ID and embraced Apple’s future vision of gesture navigation. That’s not all, the iPhone X also brought an OLED display and improver performance. While the design philosophy has changed, the iPhone X undoubtedly influenced the look of modern devices back in the day.
iPhone 12: The Modern Masterpiece
Apple’s 2020 iPhone 12 represents the perfect blend of modern design, 5G connectivity, and powerful performance.
