List of iPhone models

This is a list and comparison of devices designed and marketed by Apple Inc. (formerly. Apple Computer Inc.) that run a Unix-like operating system named iOS, often referred to simply as iDevices. The devices include the iPhone multimedia smartphone, the iPod Touch, which is similar to the iPhone but has no cell phone hardware, and the iPad tablet computer. All three devices function as digital audio and portable media players and Internet clients. The Apple TV, which also runs iOS, is a set-top box for streaming local media to a connected television set, and has no screen of its own.
The operating system on iOS devices can be updated through iTunes, or, on iOS 5 or later, using over-the-air (OTA). A major version of iOS tends to be released once a year, and is normally free, although iPod Touch users were formerly required to pay for the update. Apple upgrades its products' hardware periodically (approximately yearly). There have been six generations of iPhone (original iPhone, iPhone 3G, iPhone 3GS, iPhone 4, iPhone 4S and iPhone 5), five of iPod Touch (1st to 5th generations), and three of iPad (iPad, iPad 2, and iPad (3rd generation)).

Apple runs tests on pre-production units to determine battery life. However, these are purported maximums ("up to"), and actual user experiences vary.[24][85][86][87][88] All numbers are in hours unless specified.

Display
The 3+1⁄2-inch display introduced with the original iPhone has been used almost unchanged in all models before 2010. The iPad naturally has a much larger display and also uses a different aspect ratio and resolution. The iPhone 4-4S and iPod Touch (4th generation), on the other hand, keep the physical dimensions of prior models, but double the resolution in both dimensions, thereby quadrupling the number of pixels. Note HTC Sense UI used in HTC Android smatphones, even HTC One X.
