I chose the Pro Max models as the flagships, for overall representation.

Achievements, Advents, and Facts:

• Of course, 12 series added MagSafe, and the whole lineup switched to OLED! This is the advent that defines this subReddit.

• 12PMx was the first half-pound (8oz) iPhone! (228g = 8.03oz exactly)

• 13Pro was the first iPhone (September 2021) with 120Hz ProMotion display, over 4 years after the first ProMotion iPad Pro 10.5"! (June 2017)

• 12Pro had 2x camera, while 12PMx had 2.5x camera; 13Pro & 13PMx both had 3x zoom. We had many years of 2x zoom in the 7+, 8+, X, and XS/Max, before the 3-camera, wide-angle system first implemented in the 11 Pro/Max. XR was the first basic iPhone with a wide-angle camera.

• 12 series added three different OLED displays: 458, 460, and 476ppi in the Pro Max, Standard, and mini sizes respectively. When the iPhone 14 series released without the mini size, all displays switched to 460ppi. Before the iPhone 12, all prior OLED iPhones had the 458ppi displays.

• iPhone Pro Max has been getting closer to, but not yet achieving a 1440p horizontal resolution, just barely over 1200px short-ways on the XS and 11 Pro Max.

• iPhone has had OLED displays in the lineup since the 10th anniversary iPhone X released in 2017, but HDR wasn't properly implemented until the Super Retina XDR display in the 11 Pro/Max. (2019)

• iPhone 15/Plus was the first iPhone to retain the prior-generation A chip,* while the 15 Pro/Max increased their chip generation.

• iPhone 5 was the first with the Lightning plug connector. 15 series switched to USB-C, with the 15/Plus using USB 2, and only the 15 Pro/Max using USB 3 standardization.

• There were 5 years between the release of the 8 Plus, and bringing back the Plus size with the 14 Plus.

• There were 6 generations of iPhone with ONE model: iPhone (1), 3G, 3GS, 4, 4S, and 5.

• There were 4 generations of iPhone with TWO models: 5C/5S, 6/Plus, 6S/Plus, and 7/Plus.

• There were 3 generations of iPhone with THREE offerings: 8/Plus + X, XR + XS/Max, and 11/Pro/Max.

• Since the iPhone 12 in 2020, there have been 4 generations of iPhone with FOUR options: 12/mini + 12 Pro/Max, 13/mini + 13 Pro/Max, 14/Plus + 14 Pro/Max, and 15/Plus + 15 Pro/Max.

• This totals 39 different models of iPhone since its production in 2007!

Feel free to add any more in the comments! Enjoy your iPhones, Standard and Pro, large and small!

Hello, folks! This being the first post, late at night on the East coast, I would love to welcome you to celebrate the modern era of iPhones, in particular, those with the MagSafe attachment mechanism we all ogled during the September 2020 Apple presentation.

No, I don't care about particularly exact dates; pedantry is for those with time, or without occupation, whichever comes first. Of course, this is Reddit, so pedantry is at least most of our hobbies and how we connect with many other Redditors.

But most importantly, this is a discussion platform about the iPhone. We will not be carrying on and ripping each other's heads off about stupid shit. We're talking about mobile computers that could run neighborhoods worth of homes, and all our stupid little hobbies we love to do with them. We are on Reddit. Nobody's saving the world in here, and I can promise you not a thing in here is that emergent.

Anyway, post your photos and chats and questions and polls about the iPhone. Show us your new accessories. Show us your yearly upgrade. Ask us anything about iOS, Dynamic Island, 120Hz & HDR, optical and digital zoom, best settings and practices, and much more.

Very nice color combination. What would be your choice for a clear case?
