"The iPhone has garnered positive reviews from critics like David Pogue[26] and Walter Mossberg.[27][28] The iPhone attracts users of all ages,[18] and, besides consumer use, the iPhone has also been adopted for business purposes.[29]"
What is the point of this statement? Someone gave it a postive review and with regard to the second part- Surely the above applies to virtually every product- shoes are used by all ages and both for business and leisure.
iphone has been consistently recognised as one of the best phones on earth.[33]
Erm the link shows that 34 people have voted for the iPhone 4- hardly scientific and just a lame excuse to link to an amazon affiliate. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.44.190.128 ( talk) 08:27, 20 October 2011 (UTC)
Martin Lindstrom's editorial in The New York Times has some interesting tidbits about marketing tests he ran on consumers using the iPhone, finding users experiencing synesthesia (hearing and seeing the device in the audio and visual cortex), and feeling love and compassion for their iPhone as if it were a family member. Lindstrom concludes, "the subjects didn’t demonstrate the classic brain-based signs of addiction. Instead, they loved their iPhones." [1] By itself, this doesn't seem like enough to add, but if there are other sources supporting these conclusions, it would make for interesting content. Viriditas ( talk) 00:33, 22 October 2011 (UTC)
Re removal of section on the effect iphone development has had on the gaming market, surely there is no dispute that the development of the iphone and the apps market for it, had a remarkable effect on gaming markets... why do you think the iphone is now a category for 'game reviews' on IGN etc. MelanieB2 ( talk) 11:13, 28 October 2011 (UTC)
Verizon requires antenna diversity in all of their phones (iirc, the Anandtech iPhone 4 or iPhone 4S review may cover this to back me up, here), so in the HW comparison chart, the segment on celluar antenna diversity being new to the iPhone 4S (for iPhone product line) is not true. It was present on the iPhone 4 CDMA version, prior to the iPhone 4S. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 65.78.139.235 ( talk) 21:26, 14 January 2012 (UTC)
It's true, dual band should not be confused with dual antenna. However, the antenna redesign of the 4S mentioned in the chart is referring to the solution to "antenna-gate" [1], not the antenna diversity inherent in Verizon CDMA phones. Still might be nice to mention it under CDMA iPhone 4 or at least clarify iPhone 4S entry. DJKillcrazy ( talk) 04:46, 23 May 2012 (UTC)
It is stated in this article that Apple manufactures these phones. Apple itself does not manufacture these phones. Foxconn does, in Shenzhen, China. Neither Foxconn nor China are mentioned anywhere in the article. Because of the bad press concerning the working conditions and suicides at Foxconn factories, it may be something Apple does not like to mention. Nonetheless I do find it worth noting, and factually closer to the truth than what's being stated on the current revision of the page. 62.133.118.70 ( talk) 20:47, 21 January 2012 (UTC)

Largerthanlife147 ( talk) 22:11, 21 January 2012 (UTC)
The iPhone 5 is now expected to be released only in the summer or fall of 2012. Many think that the release date will be in fall as the summer release date is usually reserved for the iPad. Hence, the iPhone 5 might be released only after the release of the iPad 3. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Iphone5maniac ( talk • contribs) 15:53, 26 February 2012 (UTC)
It seems that the image showing the sales data has the quarters confused. For example, it provides data about 37M iPhones sold in 1Q 2012, but we have just seen this number reported for Q4 2011. We are not even half way through Q1 2012, so how can data about it exist? This article talks about 37M iPhones sold during Q4 2011. I did not try to verify data about other quarters, but they might be shifted as well.

please change "The CDMA model of the iPhone, like all CDMA phones, does not use a SIM." because The cdma network in the usa does not use the sim but when traveling globally the micro sim is required for use.
the iphone 4s is a global gsm phone and does require the use of a micro sim. http://www.iphonefreak.com/2010/06/the-iphone-4-micro-sim-situation.html
under the specifications listing verizon also states the network is "global gsm" so the cdma model of the iphone does use a sim for the gsm technology to work. http://www.verizonwireless.com/b2c/store/controller?item=phoneFirst&action=viewPhoneDetail&selectedPhoneId=5773

"In the United States, it was announced that two new carriers, Sprint and C Spire, would begin carrying the iPhone 4 and iPhone 4S in October and November 2011, respectively."
The way this is worded makes it a little confusing. Are they carrying the phones in October and then November? Or did Sprint have the phones and then C Spire? DanielDPeterson ( talk) 23:22, 17 April 2012 (UTC)
Some of the statements are about time between charges (i.e. capacity and power draw) while others are about total lifetime before a battery no longer takes/holds a useful charge and requires replacement by a repair shop. See excerpts below with my commentary in italics with {}. I don't have time to fix it right now, so perhaps another editor can do so?
Apple runs tests on preproduction units to determine battery life. Apple's website says that the battery life "is designed to retain up to 80 percent of its original capacity after 400 full charge and discharge cycles", which is comparable to iPod batteries. {clearly referring to total lifetime before replacement of the battery}
The battery life of early models of the iPhone has been criticized by several technology journalists as insufficient and less than Apple's claims. {reading the referenced article's I conclude that they are referring to how many hours of use before needing recharging.}

I do not agree with the image on the right. It suggests that in Q2 2012 more than 35 million iPhones were selled. But that's not true, because apple.com said explicit in the source : "iPhone and Related Products and Services" and "Includes revenue from sales of iPhone, iPhone services, and Apple-branded and third-party iPhone accessories". -- Nightfly85 ( talk) 08:37, 23 July 2012 (UTC)
The article page states:
"With the release of iOS 6.0, which will be released in Fall 2012, Apple plans to release features that enable the user to have options to decline a phone call when a person is calling them. The user will have the capability to reply with a message, or to set a reminder to call them back at a later time."
Wow that's awkward and ultimately unclear. Extra syllables don't make information more accurate. It would be easier to read and understand if it said:
"Apple plans to release features that include additional options when declining an incoming call. Users will be able to reply with a message(iMessage? text message? voice message?) or to set a reminder to call them back at a later time." 174.31.192.105 ( talk) 05:41, 25 July 2012 (UTC)

I've noticed that on this article, as well as the iPhone 5 article, people keep adding the slogan "iPhone 5: The biggest thing to happen to iPhone since iPhone" to the top of the infobox area in big Apple letters. I think this is inappropriate for an encyclopedia article, as we don't need to parrot the company's latest unsubstantiated marketing claims. Also, I disagree with cramming the infobox full of iPhone 5 specs. This article is about iPhones in general. The iPhone 5 article is about the iPhone 5. ~ Adjwilley ( talk) 23:03, 13 September 2012 (UTC)

(Note: This section is essentially identical to one I added on Talk:Comparison_of_smartphones.)
Historically, TV screen size was a single number reflecting the diameter of the round cathode ray tube. (Try a Google image search for: old round tv.) The actual diagonal screen size of the rectangular view was a bit smaller, but still meaningful, because all screens had the same aspect ratio of 4:3.
With the coming of wide-screen TVs, manufacturers continued to use a diagonal measurement -- because it impressed buyers. A 16:9 TV with the same screen area as a 4:3 TV had a greater diagonal size, so it seemed bigger to the casual buyer. And in many cases, manufacturers of LCD screens specified a diagonal measurement that was quite a bit bigger than the actual diagonal screen size, even though this makes no sense for LCD screens, again counting on buyers to not notice the discrepancy.
Manufacturers of computer monitors also liked the diagonal measurement for the same reasons. Go from a 4:3 screen to a 16:10 screen to a 16:9 screen, and for the same screen area, the diagonal measurement keeps getting bigger and buyers continue to get more impressed.
Something similar is now happening with smartphones, as screens get more elongated.
Let's provide more useful facts. While a diagonal screen measurement should still be included, more important than that are screen height, screen width, and screen area. These should be included.
The diagonal measurement should be clearly indicated as such.

The article uses the term "micropixel" (or "µ pixel"), but does not define it or provide links to a definition. The term is not in common use. Wiktionary has a entry, but the definition is "a very small pixel". (You can imagine how that guy would define "microwave".)
Is there really such a thing as a micropixel? Or did Apple marketing people make it up? I'm having an emperor's-new-clothes feeling about this. TypoBoy ( talk) 17:38, 19 October 2013 (UTC)

Hey I'm new, and I was reading about the iPhone to know where the sensors are and I noticed something, under Software it states "However, the apps never ran in the background.

So even if it proves a bit high as it did last quarter, we’ve crossed the point where it’s safe to assume that Apple has sold 500 million smartphones in less than 7 years." Saying "it's safe to assume Apple sold 500 million smartphones" isn't the same as saying that it actually did. So until you can show a source making that declaration, we can't include that information in the article. -- Atama 頭 20:10, 8 April 2014 (UTC)
When searching "iPhone resolution" Google quotes this article saying that the iPhone 5 display has width/height ratio of nearly exactly 16:9. That sounds like marketing speech to me. Either it's nearly, or it's exactly. And it's not exactly. To be precise, the shorter dimension has to be one pixel larger, or the bigger two pixels larger to be 16:9. And that's even when we round the pixel count. I propose "The iPhone 5 model's screen results in an aspect ratio of approximately 16:9.". — Preceding unsigned comment added by LongWindingRoad ( talk • contribs) 14:09, 17 April 2014 (UTC)
Can iPhone or Android apps be run on a computer? If so, is there an article about this topic? Thanks! Misty MH ( talk) 09:33, 17 April 2014 (UTC)
Android can also be run on x86 architecture by using an Android emulator which is part of the Android SDK, or by using BlueStacks." So you should be able to run Android apps on a PC with an emulator. Our iOS article doesn't mention anything about emulation, neither does the article for the App Store which talks about what devices can run apps (which should include iPhones and iPads). Knowing how restrictive Apple tends to be, I wouldn't be surprised if there was no officially-supported way to run those apps on any other kind of device.

The second sentence makes no sense. Please fix it / unlock this article.
It's iPhone 5s / 5c, not 5S / 5C. Please fix it. For Science (and mankind).
The iPhone image sizes in the model comparison table made the screen increases from iPhone 4S to 5, and then to 6 and 6 Plus, look way bigger than they really are. The increased pixel width appeared to be pretty arbitrary, so here's the calculations they should be set to:
Model | Screen Size | Width | Percent wider than iPhone 4 | Current display width | Correct display width |
---|---|---|---|---|---|
iPhone 4 | 3.5" | 58.6 mm (2.31 in) | 0% wider | 85px | 85px |
iPhone 5s | 4" | 58.6 mm (2.31 in) | 0% wider | 100px | 85px |
iPhone 6 | 4.7" | 67.0 mm (2.64 in) | 14.33% wider | 125px | 97px |
iPhone 6 Plus | 5.5" | 77.8 mm (3.06 in) | 32.76% wider | 150px | 113px |
Because some of the images have a weird blank border around the phone, this is what I think the values should be at for the whole list:
IPhone 2G PSD Mock.png|85px IPhone_PSD_White_3G.png|85px IPhone_PSD_White_3G.png|85px IPhone_4_Mock_No_Shadow_PSD.png|85px IPhone_4S_No_shadow.png|100px IPhone_5.png|96px IPhone_5C.png|85px IPhone_5s.png|85px IPhone6_silver_frontface.png|97px IPhone6_silver_frontface.png|113px

At the bottom of the history and availability section, add "On September 9th 2014, Apple revealed two new iPhone models at a press event in cupertino. [13] PaperMarioGuy
References
The first sentence of history and availability section ends with "...including Jonathan Ive, the designer behind the iPhone." While this is technically a true statement, it doesn't quite make sense to write sentence along the lines of "Development of the iPhone began with a development team including Jonathan Ive, the designer behind the iPhone". In other words, this sentence reads as "X was designed by Jonathan Ive, designer of X". I believe this sentence was intended to end with "...including Jonathan Ive, the designer behind the iPod." though it could just as well end with "...behind the iMac." or "...behind the iMac and iPod."

I would like to propose a format change to the graph near the bottom, the one that displays each of the iPhones' system specifications. What specific aspect I'd like to suggest a change to is simply to change the size of the entire chart to a smaller size so it can be view-able without having to scroll vertically and horizontally to properly read the char, much less a single characteristic of the iPhone. If I am not clear enough, strategies that can be used to make this change is to reduce the size of the texts within the boxes, as well as changing the size of the boxes of the charts themselves. Why this change? I feel it is a very uncomfortable experience when trying to look up and compare specific characteristics of the iPhones, especially to individuals who don't have a screen large enough to fit at least either the entire chart vertically or horizontally on their screens That is all & thank you for your time to read my request!

There isn't much uniformity in the iPhone articles when it comes to reporting the original release price. For historical research purposes, I think this kind of information is noteworthy. Both the on-contract and off-contract pricing should be reported, or at a bare minimum the on-contract pricing should be clearly labeled as "2-year contract required."

Claiming in 4.9 that "The American and British intelligence agencies, the National Security Agency (NSA) and the Government Communications Headquarters (GCHQ) respectively, have access to the user data in iPhones. They can read almost all information on the phone, including SMS, location, emails, and notes." citing a german tabloid as the source of information is dubious at best.

This comment is about general readership and the lack of readability. As a reader, I find there is too much 'technical specification' information in the summary panel, or box, displayed on the right side at the top of the article. I am referring to the information on 'system-on-chip,' CPU, memory, display, graphics, connectivity, power, dimensions, and weight. This level of excruciating detail in the summary panel completely defeats the purpose of the summary panel. This lack of readability is the antithesis of the intuitive, user-friendliness that makes most Apple products so excellent and that makes many if not most Wiki articles so helpful. Wikipedia is not publishing technical manuals, and its summary panels should be suited to general readership. This information could easily, and should be, moved by its original contributor or editor into a table somewhere in the body of the article. If you want a great Wiki article, this change is necessary. Jrgilb ( talk) 09:19, 30 October 2015 (UTC)

I believe pretty strongly that mention of a future model does not meet the expectation of WP:CRYSTALBALL. As we all know, Apple is very secretive and protective of future product announcements. While we new device is certainly likely, I wouldn't consider it a guarantee until Apple says so. Further, any mention of features or specifications is 100% speculative. When I deleted it, two features were mentioned: OLED and inductive charging. I just found several articles about iPhone 6 and 7 including OLED and inductive charging. Didn't happen. The iPhone rumormill is HUGE and lucrative. Anyone will post an article to get some good clicks. Until it comes from Apple, it's nothing more than a rumor. heat_fan1 ( talk) 16:55, 5 April 2017 (UTC)
Informed sources within Apple and its supply chain partners report that Apple will release a next-generation iPhone, tentatively referred to within the media and industry as the iPhone 8, iPhone X, or iPhone 10th anniversary edition, in late 2017.[260][261][262].
Hi everybody! While editing the Software section, I noticed the text "It is a variant of the same Darwin operating system core that is found in Mac OS X. Also included is the "Core Animation" software component from Mac OS X v10.5 Leopard. Together with the PowerVR hardware (and on the iPhone 3GS, OpenGL ES 2.0), it is responsible for the interface's motion graphics." It is unsourced. I tried doing research to find WP:SECONDARY sources stating that information, and I couldn't find any. I then proceeded to try finding primary sources, and couldn't find any there either. This might (I want to emphasize might) be a case where the content is true because someone has done research on it themselves, and then the content has stayed for so long that it appears to be true. If anybody out there knows of a reliable source stating this information, please add it! Otherwise, I'll remove it within a few days. Hopefully someone else can figure it out! :) LocalNet ( talk) 15:52, 28 May 2017 (UTC)
If one pays full price for iPhone (for example iPhone X and iPhone 8) in USA, does one always get a device with NO operator customization? Does it help if one buys from Apple Store?
What is required for the full-price phone to work fully in Europe with European SIM card, except of course buying a new charger? Perhaps one need to first activate the iPhone in USA and then ask the operator to activate roaming? And then make at least one phone call in USA? 91.155.24.127 ( talk) 11:42, 4 October 2017 (UTC)

Martin Lindstrom's editorial in The New York Times has some interesting tidbits about marketing tests he ran on consumers using the iPhone, finding users experiencing synesthesia (hearing and seeing the device in the audio and visual cortex), and feeling love and compassion for their iPhone as if it were a family member. Lindstrom concludes, "the subjects didn’t demonstrate the classic brain-based signs of addiction. Instead, they loved their iPhones."

Verizon requires antenna diversity in all of their phones (iirc, the Anandtech iPhone 4 or iPhone 4S review may cover this to back me up, here), so in the HW comparison chart, the segment on celluar antenna diversity being new to the iPhone 4S (for iPhone product line) is not true. It was present on the iPhone 4 CDMA version, prior to the iPhone 4S. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 65.78.139.235 ( talk) 21:26, 14 January 2012 (UTC)
It's true, dual band should not be confused with dual antenna. However, the antenna redesign of the 4S mentioned in the chart is referring to the solution to "antenna-gate" [1], not the antenna diversity inherent in Verizon CDMA phones. Still might be nice to mention it under CDMA iPhone 4 or at least clarify iPhone 4S entry. DJKillcrazy ( talk) 04:46, 23 May 2012 (UTC)
It is stated in this article that Apple manufactures these phones. Apple itself does not manufacture these phones. Foxconn does, in Shenzhen, China. Neither Foxconn nor China are mentioned anywhere in the article. Because of the bad press concerning the working conditions and suicides at Foxconn factories, it may be something Apple does not like to mention. Nonetheless I do find it worth noting, and factually closer to the truth than what's being stated on the current revision of the page. 62.133.118.70 ( talk) 20:47, 21 January 2012 (UTC)

It seems that the image showing the sales data has the quarters confused. For example, it provides data about 37M iPhones sold in 1Q 2012, but we have just seen this number reported for Q4 2011. We are not even half way through Q1 2012, so how can data about it exist? This article talks about 37M iPhones sold during Q4 2011.

Some of the statements are about time between charges (i.e. capacity and power draw) while others are about total lifetime before a battery no longer takes/holds a useful charge and requires replacement by a repair shop. See excerpts below with my commentary in italics with {}. I don't have time to fix it right now, so perhaps another editor can do so?
Apple runs tests on preproduction units to determine battery life. Apple's website says that the battery life "is designed to retain up to 80 percent of its original capacity after 400 full charge and discharge cycles", which is comparable to iPod batteries. {clearly referring to total lifetime before replacement of the battery}
The battery life of early models of the iPhone has been criticized by several technology journalists as insufficient and less than Apple's claims. {reading the referenced article's I conclude that they are referring to how many hours of use before needing recharging.}

(Note: This section is essentially identical to one I added on Talk:Comparison_of_smartphones.)
Historically, TV screen size was a single number reflecting the diameter of the round cathode ray tube. (Try a Google image search for: old round tv.) The actual diagonal screen size of the rectangular view was a bit smaller, but still meaningful, because all screens had the same aspect ratio of 4:3.
With the coming of wide-screen TVs, manufacturers continued to use a diagonal measurement -- because it impressed buyers. A 16:9 TV with the same screen area as a 4:3 TV had a greater diagonal size, so it seemed bigger to the casual buyer. And in many cases, manufacturers of LCD screens specified a diagonal measurement that was quite a bit bigger than the actual diagonal screen size, even though this makes no sense for LCD screens, again counting on buyers to not notice the discrepancy.
Manufacturers of computer monitors also liked the diagonal measurement for the same reasons. Go from a 4:3 screen to a 16:10 screen to a 16:9 screen, and for the same screen area, the diagonal measurement keeps getting bigger and buyers continue to get more impressed.
Something similar is now happening with smartphones, as screens get more elongated.
Let's provide more useful facts. While a diagonal screen measurement should still be included, more important than that are screen height, screen width, and screen area. These should be included.
The diagonal measurement should be clearly indicated as such.

The section "Sales and Profits" says "led to a demise in high-end fashion phones and business-oriented smartphones such as Vertu and BlackBerry". This is evidently not factual because BlackBerry are still manufacturing high end smartphones for business and pleasure, and BlackBerry are still reporting a profit in their 2013 fourth quarter fiscal year end results. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 62.208.147.211 ( talk) 12:44, 2 April 2013 (UTC)
Usually when a resolution is mentioned it is specified in following syntax: (width x height)px.
But in that model comparison section, its mentioned in (height x width)px format.
Which is very confusing, because that is not model used in most sites especially in www.gsmarena.com. Suggestion: Either correct to the most standard format or mention it (H x W) format clearly in side. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ajoe.blk ( talk • contribs) 08:15, 3 April 2013 (UTC)

There is a line in this article that's from "iPhone Blog All about the iPhone" at url= http://www.unlockaniphone.org/blog/%7Cpublisher=www.unlockaniphone.org%7Caccessdate=5 January 2013}}</ref> That states "The locked/unlocked state is maintained on Apple's servers" The reference that's being sited is a blog, and no longer exists on that blog. The word "maintained" in this sentence suggests that Apple has the ability to edit and change the lock/unlock state of an iPhone, and it can not. Here is a reference from an article that will be around in 3 months from now; "Only your carrier can unlock your iPhone. Contact your carrier and request an unlock. You may need to meet certain requirements to qualify for unlocking. This may take up to seven days." [7]

This is a request to include a section in the iPhone page for vehicle navigation and the iPhone.

This section should include a) Vehicle mounts for the iPhone (e.g Garmin Car Holder) b) Available maps for the iPhone (e.g. Garmin Maps USA & Europe) c) Other available navigation software (e.g. for aircraft or boat navigation) d) Navigation apps for the iPhone (e.g. http://www8.garmin.com/apps/) — Preceding unsigned comment added by 121.215.138.190 ( talk) 12:59, 24 May 2013 (UTC)

So even if it proves a bit high as it did last quarter, we’ve crossed the point where it’s safe to assume that Apple has sold 500 million smartphones in less than 7 years." Saying "it's safe to assume Apple sold 500 million smartphones" isn't the same as saying that it actually did. So until you can show a source making that declaration, we can't include that information in the article. -- Atama 頭 20:10, 8 April 2014 (UTC)
When searching "iPhone resolution" Google quotes this article saying that the iPhone 5 display has width/height ratio of nearly exactly 16:9. That sounds like marketing speech to me. Either it's nearly, or it's exactly. And it's not exactly. To be precise, the shorter dimension has to be one pixel larger, or the bigger two pixels larger to be 16:9. And that's even when we round the pixel count. I propose "The iPhone 5 model's screen results in an aspect ratio of approximately 16:9.". — Preceding unsigned comment added by LongWindingRoad ( talk • contribs) 14:09, 17 April 2014 (UTC)
Can iPhone or Android apps be run on a computer? If so, is there an article about this topic? Thanks! Misty MH ( talk) 09:33, 17 April 2014 (UTC)
Android can also be run on x86 architecture by using an Android emulator which is part of the Android SDK, or by using BlueStacks." So you should be able to run Android apps on a PC with an emulator. Our iOS article doesn't mention anything about emulation, neither does the article for the App Store which talks about what devices can run apps (which should include iPhones and iPads). Knowing how restrictive Apple tends to be, I wouldn't be surprised if there was no officially-supported way to run those apps on any other kind of device.

The iPhone image sizes in the model comparison table made the screen increases from iPhone 4S to 5, and then to 6 and 6 Plus, look way bigger than they really are. The increased pixel width appeared to be pretty arbitrary, so here's the calculations they should be set to:
Model | Screen Size | Width | Percent wider than iPhone 4 | Current display width | Correct display width |
---|---|---|---|---|---|
iPhone 4 | 3.5" | 58.6 mm (2.31 in) | 0% wider | 85px | 85px |
iPhone 5s | 4" | 58.6 mm (2.31 in) | 0% wider | 100px | 85px |
iPhone 6 | 4.7" | 67.0 mm (2.64 in) | 14.33% wider | 125px | 97px |
iPhone 6 Plus | 5.5" | 77.8 mm (3.06 in) | 32.76% wider | 150px | 113px |
Because some of the images have a weird blank border around the phone, this is what I think the values should be at for the whole list:
IPhone 2G PSD Mock.png|85px IPhone_PSD_White_3G.png|85px IPhone_PSD_White_3G.png|85px IPhone_4_Mock_No_Shadow_PSD.png|85px IPhone_4S_No_shadow.png|100px IPhone_5.png|96px IPhone_5C.png|85px IPhone_5s.png|85px IPhone6_silver_frontface.png|97px IPhone6_silver_frontface.png|113px

At the bottom of the history and availability section, add "On September 9th 2014, Apple revealed two new iPhone models at a press event in cupertino. [13] PaperMarioGuy
References
The first sentence of history and availability section ends with "...including Jonathan Ive, the designer behind the iPhone." While this is technically a true statement, it doesn't quite make sense to write sentence along the lines of "Development of the iPhone began with a development team including Jonathan Ive, the designer behind the iPhone". In other words, this sentence reads as "X was designed by Jonathan Ive, designer of X". I believe this sentence was intended to end with "...including Jonathan Ive, the designer behind the iPod." though it could just as well end with "...behind the iMac." or "...behind the iMac and iPod."

I would like to propose a format change to the graph near the bottom, the one that displays each of the iPhones' system specifications. What specific aspect I'd like to suggest a change to is simply to change the size of the entire chart to a smaller size so it can be view-able without having to scroll vertically and horizontally to properly read the char, much less a single characteristic of the iPhone. If I am not clear enough, strategies that can be used to make this change is to reduce the size of the texts within the boxes, as well as changing the size of the boxes of the charts themselves. Why this change? I feel it is a very uncomfortable experience when trying to look up and compare specific characteristics of the iPhones, especially to individuals who don't have a screen large enough to fit at least either the entire chart vertically or horizontally on their screens That is all & thank you for your time to read my request!

There isn't much uniformity in the iPhone articles when it comes to reporting the original release price. For historical research purposes, I think this kind of information is noteworthy. Both the on-contract and off-contract pricing should be reported, or at a bare minimum the on-contract pricing should be clearly labeled as "2-year contract required."

iPhone 4S' release date is in 2011, not 2013. NoidedN8 ( talk) 08:59, 1 September 2015 (UTC)
Not done for now: - there are 60 mentions of 4S in the article - the only dates relating to them all seem to be 2011 - which section are you seeing 2013 in?
Please reactivate the request when you have explained where in the article the error is, by editing "answered=y" to "answered=no" on the first line of this thread. -

For clarity of what is happening -- "Secret Tracking" can be interpreted as tracking secrets, rather than secretly tracking. Additionally "secret" promotes a sensational connotation rather than factual. I'll make this change in a day or two if no objections. aerotheque ( talk) 19:51, 25 October 2015 (UTC)

Claiming in 4.9 that "The American and British intelligence agencies, the National Security Agency (NSA) and the Government Communications Headquarters (GCHQ) respectively, have access to the user data in iPhones. They can read almost all information on the phone, including SMS, location, emails, and notes." citing a german tabloid as the source of information is dubious at best. Should be removed or at the very least marked as "speculative". 94.191.185.107 ( talk) 10:07, 15 October 2015 (UTC)
This comment is about general readership and the lack of readability. As a reader, I find there is too much 'technical specification' information in the summary panel, or box, displayed on the right side at the top of the article. I am referring to the information on 'system-on-chip,' CPU, memory, display, graphics, connectivity, power, dimensions, and weight. This level of excruciating detail in the summary panel completely defeats the purpose of the summary panel. This lack of readability is the antithesis of the intuitive, user-friendliness that makes most Apple products so excellent and that makes many if not most Wiki articles so helpful. Wikipedia is not publishing technical manuals, and its summary panels should be suited to general readership. This information could easily, and should be, moved by its original contributor or editor into a table somewhere in the body of the article. If you want a great Wiki article, this change is necessary. Jrgilb ( talk) 09:19, 30 October 2015 (UTC)
This entire section of the article is written in a very casual tone and uses relaxed language. I would suggest this entire section be rewritten in a more professional manner. Ryangehret ( talk) 04:53, 26 November 2015 (UTC)

The second sentence of the first paragraph underneath the 'Apple Upgrade Program' section currently reads: "As every other iPhone release...".
I believe semantically it should read "As with every other iPhone release".

Hi, there is the sentence "Each home screen holds up to twenty icons for iPhone 2G, 3G, 4 and 4S, while each [...]". I would like to get rid of the unofficial "2G" naming.
Maybe you could change it to "[...] icons for original iPhone, 3G/3GS and 4/4S, while [...]". Thanks.

I believe pretty strongly that mention of a future model does not meet the expectation of WP:CRYSTALBALL. As we all know, Apple is very secretive and protective of future product announcements. While we new device is certainly likely, I wouldn't consider it a guarantee until Apple says so. Further, any mention of features or specifications is 100% speculative. When I deleted it, two features were mentioned: OLED and inductive charging. I just found several articles about iPhone 6 and 7 including OLED and inductive charging. Didn't happen. The iPhone rumormill is HUGE and lucrative. Anyone will post an article to get some good clicks. Until it comes from Apple, it's nothing more than a rumor. heat_fan1 ( talk) 16:55, 5 April 2017 (UTC)
Informed sources within Apple and its supply chain partners report that Apple will release a next-generation iPhone, tentatively referred to within the media and industry as the iPhone 8, iPhone X, or iPhone 10th anniversary edition, in late 2017.[260][261][262].
Hi everybody! While editing the Software section, I noticed the text "It is a variant of the same Darwin operating system core that is found in Mac OS X. Also included is the "Core Animation" software component from Mac OS X v10.5 Leopard. Together with the PowerVR hardware (and on the iPhone 3GS, OpenGL ES 2.0), it is responsible for the interface's motion graphics." It is unsourced. I tried doing research to find WP:SECONDARY sources stating that information, and I couldn't find any. I then proceeded to try finding primary sources, and couldn't find any there either. This might (I want to emphasize might) be a case where the content is true because someone has done research on it themselves, and then the content has stayed for so long that it appears to be true. If anybody out there knows of a reliable source stating this information, please add it! Otherwise, I'll remove it within a few days. Hopefully someone else can figure it out! :) LocalNet ( talk) 15:52, 28 May 2017 (UTC)
If one pays full price for iPhone (for example iPhone X and iPhone 8) in USA, does one always get a device with NO operator customization? Does it help if one buys from Apple Store?
What is required for the full-price phone to work fully in Europe with European SIM card, except of course buying a new charger? Perhaps one need to first activate the iPhone in USA and then ask the operator to activate roaming? And then make at least one phone call in USA? 91.155.24.127 ( talk) 11:42, 4 October 2017 (UTC)

I noticed the mention of the Upgrade Program only states the US times (24 months, eligible for an upgrade after 12 months). Would it be worth mentioning that the terms are not the same in all regions? e.g. in the UK, it is a 20-month plan, eligible for an upgrade after 11 months.
