The Ultimate iPhone Comparison.

14 iPhones, two months in the making, this is a new or upcoming version of every flagship iPhone model ever made. This is the most expensive and time consuming video I've ever made, but it's going to be amazing, so before you move on to any type. camera

comparison

, we'll start by unboxing all of them, starting with the original iPhone and this is actually the only one where I didn't manage to get a new version of the phone; It was like 10,000 quid for it just to have a stamp on it, but that being said, this is almost new and still has all the stuff you'd get when the original packaging was there and from that note you can probably already see that the iPhone packaging was a lot more elaborate. back then.

I was looking forward to getting a The smartphone was generally considered much more important, so it's packed with goodies, including a rather oversized charger that still offers the same 5 watts of power as the newer cinema ones. You get a standard 30 pin cable from Apple back in the day and what I thought was cool, a full charging dock, you also get some nice stereo iPhone headphones, here now, this iPhone is also known as the iPhone 2g. I really like the way it feels, it's dense and solid, it's good in motion. We have the iPhone 3G, this was released a year later and I remember this: if you had an iPhone 3G, I was 13 at the time, it was a dream, you could play touch hockey, you could pop virtual bubble wrap to your heart's content. .

Unbelievable in a Damage To give you a little context, one of the biggest features of this phone was the fact that it had GPS. Yes, it was only 11 years ago, but this was a different era, as the name suggested, this was the first. The iPhone will come with 3G functionality and possibly even more important than this was when Apple debuted the App Store, which was super basic at launch but would soon change the entire smartphone landscape. We still have the same overly large charger as last time and the cable. and the headphones you get with this are also the same and about the surreal part removing the seals from a new 11 year old iPhone let me tell you that this video has taken months in terms of planning and preparation, but moments like this make it possible.

It's worth it compared to the previous iPhone 2g. They changed the aluminum to simple plastic which still feels solid but is a little less premium. Also a big thank you to invisible shield for sponsoring this video because the offer really wouldn't have done it. been possible without them. I love Apple packaging. It's so nice now for the iPhone 3gs, which is an almost identical looking phone on the outside but is a completely remodeled device on the inside. We are talking about faster CPU GPU, it has double the RAM, although we are still learning, talking about 256 megabytes compared to 12 gigabytes on current phones, you will notice a lot of the stamps on these phones because they are so old that they were not intended To be unpacked ten years later, they have warped a little and look a little crazy on the front, but they are genuinely sealed phones.

You'll notice that everything has gotten a little smaller with this phone, still, I love the sounds of this crisp packaging, I got some newer Apple stickers, and Apple finally nailed the 3GS. It compresses that same five watts of power into a slimmer charger. The same cable was in the 30-pin connector here, but the headphones haven't been updated on the 3GS and henceforth come with a remote control and microphone; often the 3GS was like a full refresh rate. yes, but also the battery life, the camera quality and the new software, this shipped with the iPhone OS 3.0 because yes, my OS was called my phone back then and that brings us to the iPhone 4 that I shipped with iOS 4.

I'm going to say it. I honestly love the design of the iPhone 4. I think Shum's sharper aesthetic for Sandy is just better than the curves we got before and the curves we get after, no, there you go, so you can see with this phone. It actually elevated it above the pack, so let's put that aside, we have the exact same 5 watt adapter still on 30 pin too in terms of connection and the same in-ear stereo headphones that the iPhone 4 got people excited about. a big redesign but it was also claimed that at the time it was the thinnest smartphone in the world and you can see these champions here, they are made with stainless steel because Steve Jobs himself insisted that compared to aluminum which is a metal softer, he really liked it. how stainless steel aged over time, he said that it becomes beautiful when used, so that is the reason why it is so beautiful.

I actually love this headphone jack on the phone. Oh, also the new body of this phone just meant they had to redesign the antennas and a lot of other things. people actually reported losing signal completely on this, the iPhone 4s was an amazing phone, but it was released at a time of terrible circumstances, so Steve Jobs actually intended to make this phone's keynote as He did it with all the other iPhone launches, but he was too sick for the time he was in the hospital and it turns out he passed away the next day, so in a sense this was the last phone you saw advertised abroad.

The phone looks virtually identical to the previous one, but the s in 4 signifies the introduction. from Siri and this changed the rules of the game. I remember when it came out people went crazy over it, they could only do basic tasks but they loved it, there was kind of people's first look at their own personal assistant and again the same charging brick, the same cable, the same headphones . Although this almost changed the following year, also in the years when Apple was not redesigning the body, it seems that they paid more attention to what was inside the phone because with the 4s the phone took a big leap in camera and processing on the iPhone 5 and this is one of the biggest changes Apple made to its line of phones.

You'll see why in a second I had to be very careful to cut everything from the side, so I didn't actually do what I did before. straight to stab the deep foxes because at this point a lot of these are pretty rare so headphones first. The iPhone 5 is the first time they've been packaged inside a small phone, and they were a big improvement over the iPhone's standard stereo headphones. they still have the same charging adapter but the other thing that has changed and this is quite important is that the 30 pin connector has been changed to Lightning, so 30 pins have been changed to just eight pins and the Lightning now too It is reversible. phone itself and since the passing of Steve Jobs Apple moved again from stainless steel to aluminum and this meant that they could build a phone that was thinner and lighter and the directions changed now, but at this time it was about building the phone that was thinner and lighter. thin, he also noted The iPhone 5's screen is significantly taller than the four.

In fact, it's really nice. The iPhone 5s was the first time Apple also introduced a cut-price smartphone alongside the 5c, but in this video. Focusing on the flagships, another great thing with the 5s was that this was the first iPhone to ship with iOS 7 and, visually speaking, it was one of the biggest revisions, as it had a much cleaner look, much flatter and a little more colorful. I still have headphones in the box, the same plastic box and I still have a 5 watt charger and a Lightning cable following this idea of ​​Apple introducing its biggest internal changes to the phone that don't change much externally.

This one had a massive chip upgrade. The a7 chip inside this was the first 64-bit chip in a smartphone, which meant that heavy computational tasks such as recording slow-motion videos were handled much better. It is also the first phone to have Touch ID, which is a fingerprint scanner built into the home button. and if we compare the back with the iPhone 5, you will see that the 5s is the first time Apple has introduced a dual LED flash. It is intended to give a more realistic exposure to people's faces. The oven 6 was the first time that Apple also introduced a plus. full-size version of their smartphone presumably saw the success Samsung was having with its Note series and had to have a piece of it.

I remember really liking the size of the iPhone 6. I was a Note user at the time and found this refreshing. Lee Small in a sense, it feels a bit like an iPod Touch in the hand and this is packed with big changes, its cameras, its performance, its battery and even its design. I don't think I ever liked the design of the iPhone 6 compared to some of their previous phones. This isn't Apple at its peak, but you probably already know there was a bigger problem that I'll address. This phone comes with iOS 8, which was definitely a more subtle improvement than iOS 7, such as better predictive typing and better battery usage information.

So bendgate the iPhone 6 is made almost entirely of aluminum, the entire chassis and it's relatively soft compared to some of their previous phones, so if you press certain parts of the chassis, it's been known to bend as well, but I mean, no. It's a phone that doesn't look good, but I think it has rounded corners and is as sleek as some of our previous early models, so if we put it next to the iPhone 5s, it's a much slimmer iPhone on the 6s and, As you can probably imagine, with this phone. Apple made it very clear that they had strengthened the vision, they probably proved that a billion times the phone is thicker and compared to the 6000 series aluminum used in the last phone, this one uses newer and supposedly 7000 series aluminum could support about twice as much. a lot of pressure before bending again standard Apple box contents here nothing new compared to the six I feel like the iPhone 6s wasn't really a high point for Apple the battery life was criticized and the Cena camera is not that good like some of their competitors who said this It was when Apple introduced 3D Touch and a lot of people liked the idea that their screen could respond to multiple levels of pressure.

The iPhone 7 was the first time Apple introduced a jet black color option and it sold quite well, although Apple actually issued a warning. On their website it says that if you don't put a case on it it's prone to micro-ops, yet of course, for the sake of this video, we had to get one. No, the main reason this video took entire months to film is that the best option to find potentially old phones that are still sealed is through used sites like eBay, but at the same time they also scam you very, very much. Sometimes people who buy phones open them and then reseal them and with this iPhone 7 it looks like that's what happened inside the box anyway, starting with the 7, the airpods are now packaged differently and come with a Lightning connector, so the body of this phone looks a lot like glass, it actually isn't. glass, the phone is still made of aluminum like before, but yeah, I mean, it's definitely the more premium feeling version, so the Plus version of the iPhone 7 is also the first time Apple has introduced a dual camera system, but the smaller standard phone only has a single but Almost definitely the most controversial part of the iPhone 7 was when Apple removed the headphone jack and to compensate they included a headphone jack adapter in the box, but it felt early and a little surprised a lot of people now.

I really like the iPhone 8. It has glass on the front and back of the phone, but this time Apple introduced wireless charging. I've never seen the black one in person, so it will be interesting. It's a very dense phone, but it feels good. We also still get Apple stickers on the box, although they have changed over the generations. You can also see that compared to the seven, overall it looks pretty similar. I feel like the camera has been separated a little from the rest of the phone, but other than the general positioning of everything has stayed the same now the iPhone 8 was unusual for another reason - it was actually the first time Apple had introduced three smartphones in one event besides the eight and the eight it was also time for the ten and this one really felt like a pro phone, it felt like Apple was releasing all of their best technologies that they had been working on behind the scenes, all at once, and the moment they announced this was kind of surprising, they were at the launch event where they were announcing the iPhone 8 and eight plus and they did that classic move one more thing and it was the 10, it's still pretty much the same packaging but they just changed the design internally, the most obvious change here was that there was no home button.

Apple had designed a gesture based control system and peoplehe basically had to relearn how to use this iPhone. We have a brand new 3D facial scanner on the front of the phone and the iPhone 10 was the first time Apple used an OLED display on one of its traditional phones. Used LCDs, it was also the most expensive iPhone under a thousand dollars in 2018 or last year for us, the iPhone 10, and for some people, this was a more forgettable upgrade, it wasn't considered gigantic, but there were two main things here In a year where Android phones are coming out with practically pop-up bezels, screens and cameras.

This felt like a bit of a conservative update, but under the hood it was just as capable. Additionally, the 10th is the first time Apple has stopped providing the headphone jack adapter. I guess they are assuming that if you are buying a 10s then you probably already have an iPhone 7 or later, the first thing is the a12 Bionic chip, a chip so powerful that even over a year after it came out, even now it still outperforms many top tier Android phones and the second thing is that this is the first time in quite a few years that Apple's camera sensor size has actually increased and they also combine this with better software and that leaves us with the iPhone 11.

Pro and Joe since the iPhone 7, where they introduced a separate plus variant that had a dual camera instead of the single, it seems like Apple has leaned towards this notion of being a pro phone and a standard phone, but the 11 is finally where Apple places those labels to be completely honest. I wasn't that excited about the iPhone 11. I've seen old leaks. I had seen all the renders for about six months before and it didn't really do it for me, but having used it, seen it, tested it and compared it to other phones, it is quite remarkable both in terms of battery and camera.

It is hands down one of the best phones to date that they have repackaged. the inside of the box a bit, but the most notable improvement here is the charger. Apple finally gives you a fast charger in the box. It had the same smart folding pins that we've seen on the Apple Watch charger. I have these same headphones, but the cable underneath was changed to, instead of the standard USB two lightning, this is USB C two lightning. Okay, all the unboxed phones, let's start some testing now, as you can probably imagine that was the process of setting up 14 iPhones. a very interesting one.

I don't even think my room was ready for what was about to happen, so I spent about three hours reorganizing and setting this up. Anyway, I don't think I've ever seen so many cables in my room, just to get to the

comparison

s. Here's what the invisible shield has. They just released the Glass Elite line of screen protectors and they are probably the most advanced you'll ever see. We have the standard Glass Elite which is extremely breakable and scratch resistant, has reinforced edges and a new technology called transparent printing that disperses oil to end up on the screen to the point where it becomes invisible.

I've applied this to our - Tim, the old gloss version builds on this by adding a matte layer that prevents direct lights from reflecting off your screen, so this will fall on the iPhone 10s. There is also a privacy version that prevents anyone around you from seeing what's on your screen and probably my favorite, the Glass Elite Vision Guard Plus, which has all the benefits of Elite glass but with built-in antimicrobial properties that kill a lot of amount of nasty bacteria on the surface, plus a layer that filters high-energy blue light to protect against digital eye strain.

Additionally, the application process is airtight. I tried this eight times in eight. phones and I didn't get a single air bubble, so it's time to test and you can probably imagine that the process of setting up 14 iPhones from all these different generations was interesting. I feel like I found every possible era along the way. not turning on phones, phones not syncing with iTunes, phones not booting, phones battery dying, everything, it's cool that the iPhone I had is running iOS 1.0, that's a little weird and means a lot of things you'd expect on a phone they are simply not here, including the App Store, but I was quite surprised to see that the operating system still works without problems.

Unfortunately, to make these comparisons, I had to update to iOS 3 and also return some phones due to dead batteries, but we finally got there, so let's start by comparing the unlocking. You may remember the video I did recently comparing every Samsung Galaxy smartphone and the unlock patterns changed dramatically on iPhones, they haven't really arrived until the iPhone 5. It was just a case of swiping and then typing a four-digit PIN code Unlike Samsung Galaxy phones, the way everything looks on iPhones really depends almost entirely on what version of iOS you're running, so I've updated each phone to the latest it can reach and, as You'll notice, on the 5s now running iOS 12, Apple starts using six-digit pins by default instead of the previous four digits and the point of this is to overcome something called brute force, which is where someone basically tries as many combinations as may until you finally guess it on the iPhone 6s from 2015 onwards, all of those phones have the option for iOS 13, the latest software which is somewhat surprising just before the speed comparison.

I wanted to quickly show you how the app store works. has evolved and you can probably tell by looking at the 2g and 3G that it's old school, we're talking about gray backgrounds, we're talking about a dedicated section for the top 25 apps, but things have changed a lot on the iPhone 3GS, which was supported up to iOS 6, you get a much more advanced app store with multiple rows that can be scrolled independently, plus a cool section for recommendations on the iPhone 4. You can see when Apple was testing a feature called near me that they wanted to show. apps that were popular in your area but didn't really take off and from the 5's onwards moved into the modern era.

This is the current design of the App Store and you could call it a magazine layout, it sort of draws attention to a few important apps and games and then hides the others, but in a way that is quite easily searchable. Good time for a benchmark and my weapon of choice is the performance test passed mainly just because it's one of the few benchmarks that works even on older versions of iOS won't work on the iPhone 2g because it's on iOS 3 which It's very old but it works otherwise and fortunately the iPhone 2g in terms of processing power is almost identical to the iPhone 3G so we can use one score interchangeably if we take a look at CPU performance over time It's something amazing between the 3G and the 3GS the score is almost four times higher between the 4 and the 4 it's a three times jump between the 5 and the 5 almost four and a half times, these are astronomical leaps in performance after this point, there aren't that significant jumps in terms of percentage gain, but between 7 and 8 you still get almost double the CPU power, which is a lot more. 10s was a pretty small increase over the 10, but the 11pro was actually a bigger jump than I expected, but the biggest jump comes when we compare where we are now to where it started and on this benchmark at least the score now It is a thousand times greater. taller than the first iPhones, that's crazy, next up was a camera test, but just before that while all the phones were here I thought I'd show you what the calculators look like on these phones if you came from the beginning on iOS. one looks quite circular and then it starts to become more square and as soon as we get to the iPhone 4 it stays square but starts to fluctuate in terms of design and on the 5s and beyond you have the current aesthetic which is circular again but flat now too I'll do a screen comparison but it's time for cameras and let me tell you that trying to carry 14 I phones at the same time is a logistical problem but we got there and what I've done is I captured four photos but with each photo I captured a version in every iPhone and so you can see the progress made as we move up the ranks, the improvement in shot quality will be more noticeable in low light conditions, which I believe.

I'll show you in a minute, but during the day there is one thing you will notice: the dynamic range greatly improves the ability to capture detail in the bright and dark parts of the image and I would say that even the iPhone 7 is missing something. and this goes some way to addressing the misconception that smartphones have stagnated and are not evolving because in reality a lot of this improvement has come in the last few years and for perspective let's go back to the iPhone 2g just to see how it works. It compares whether we take a new image in a similar lighting condition or move a little faster, but you should notice these same trends: shadows are better exposed and bright areas are better controlled.

Generally speaking, the iPhone 10s is a notable turning point where the dynamic range finally gets really good even though that phone in most other ways was a fairly iterative update and again here's a comparison with the iPhone 2g at first, but another thing worth noting is that the iPhone 11 pro features an ultra-wide camera for the first time. time on an iPhone now for low light I found a staircase that was practically blacked out, it wasn't completely dark, I could still see with my eyes, but it was dark and you'll see that the first iPhones didn't pick up almost anything, just a flash. of light and the interesting thing about this is that this trend barely changes leaving the iPhone 5s the fm6 the iPhone 6s it is not until the iPhone 7 that we see a jump in performance in low light this again stabilizes until the iPhone 10s which does it better work to deal with noise and manages to produce low-light photos with more natural colors, but then you can see the impact that night mode has on the iPhone 11 Pro and if we go back to square one, it's incredible to think that these two phones they're filming the exact same scene, the last camera test was running cameras and right away you probably noticed that we started on the iPhone 4 because all the previous iPhones didn't have a front camera, you'll notice that the skin tones also improve over time. like a little bit of the sky exposure behind me, but again, this is another one of those cases where the big jump doesn't really happen until the iPhone 8 and an even bigger jump, the iPhone 10, the 11pro makes slight adjustments to this and can also advance a lot. wider than all previous iPhones so for the screen comparison I wanted to transfer the same image to each iPhone and this turned out to be an adventure in itself as the original iPhone didn't even have bluetooth, it didn't connect to my Gmail and It refused to recognize my laptop, but I didn't.

I should do it anyway. Screens and starting with the original iPhone we had 165 pixels per inch or PPI and this was considered pretty sharp at the time, it stayed constant with the 3G and 3GS, but that's how it was. Until the iPhone 4, when we made a big leap, this device was when Apple introduced the term Retina display, they still use it today and it refers to the idea that the resolution is so high that the human eye can't even discern the individual pixels. constant for the iPhone 4s and, interestingly, for the iPhone 5 and beyond, the resolution density actually dropped a little bit, probably more noticeable, although the fact that these phones were the first time Apple used the standard aspect ratio from 16 to 9 on the iPhone 6.

A massive improvement in both screen size and quality, Apple was still stuck using LCD panels compared to many of its competitors using OLED, but said these were still some of the best screens on the market and on that note 2, the iPhone 7 that came after had a record contrast ratio for an LCD screen, the air for an 8 also went down quite well, but at the time when most eyes were put in what was launched together with it, the iPhone 10, they announced it at the same event and it was the first iPhone. Using an OLED display and OLED is thinner and lighter than traditional LCD, plus it can produce better colors and what makes this near bezel possible is a swarm factor and the pixel density also jumped massively here to 458 and in the next two generations this. the screen was refined better brightness better contrast the oven 11pro is something like 20% brighter at maximum brightness than previous versions, that's quite, again, huge thanks to the invisible shield and let me tell you that most of the time you will see a sponsor is because The company contacted a youtuber, but this was a case where I went to them because I actually use protection productsinvisible on almost all the phones I use and I can support them, so the links will be in the description anyway in this video.

It's been a long time in the making, if you enjoyed it a sub would be greatly appreciated and with that being said let me know which line of smartphones you want to see next in the

ultimate

comparison series if you haven't seen the galaxy lineup check that out I'll link it from here and with that said, my name is Erin, this is the sir, who's the boss and I'll catch you on the next one.
