There are twenty four iterations of the iPhone, 2020 marks the 13-year anniversary of the first iPhone release. Apple created the first generation iPhone and the one that came after that was all about that 3G internet connectivity. So the number 2 was skipped. What about the iPhone 9? Well, Apple skipped right over that as well and right into the iPhone X. Here is a complete look at iPhone evolution.
List of iPhones
This is the very first iPhone. It is sometimes referred to as the "iPhone 2G" due to its lack of support for 3G networks.
