iPhone 5 (2012), iPhone 5S (2013), and iPhone 5C (2013)
Apple's display size of 3 inches remained the same up until the iPhone 4S. Apple was forced to alter the iPhone's display size in order to compete when Android rivals introduced phones with larger screens. This occurred with the release of the iPhone 5 series, which included the iPhone 5, iPhone 5S, and iPhone 5C. Although the iPhone 5 series' screen was larger, it was not significantly different from today's standards: the screen size went up from 3.5 inches to 4 inches, with a viewpoint proportion of 16:9.
Apple claimed that the iPhone 5's 1 GB of RAM, Apple's A6 processor, and iOS 6 improved performance and made multitasking faster. The removal of the pin connector and the introduction of the lightning connector as its replacement was another significant update. This feature has been present in every iPhone model to this point. On September 21, 2012, Apple introduced the iPhone 5, which had 16 GB of internal storage and a starting price of $649.
It is essential to keep in mind that the prices we mention for each iPhone in this article are the full retail price at this point. We're focusing on the full retail price if purchased off-contract, regardless of the deals offered by mobile data carriers in the United States. Once more, the iPhone 5S was released as an upgrade to the iPhone 5, featuring an upgraded A7 Apple chip, a new 8MP iSight camera setup with True Tone flash, and, most importantly, Touch ID.
A biometric ID system that was the most advanced of its kind took the place of the traditional home button. Additionally, it included the most recent version of iOS 7, which included AirDrop, the control center, and the notification center. The iPhone 5S's starting price, $649, was the same as its predecessor.
The iPhone 5C was a good copy of the iPhone 5's hardware with five different colorful cases. On September 20, 2013, the iPhone 5S and iPhone 5C were released simultaneously. The off-contract price of the iPhone 5C was $549, while the two-year contract price was $99
iPhone 6 and 6 Plus (2014)
Apple introduced the iPhone 6 and 6 Plus on September 19, 2014, the most significant design advancement since the original iPhone. According to Apple, the body underwent a complete redesign, now featuring curved sides throughout. The phones were significantly thinner than previous models and were entirely made of aluminum. With a screen resolution of, 1334 x 750 pixels and a 4-7-inch LCD Retina display, the iPhone 6 had a 38% larger viewing area than the iPhone 5. The 6 Plus, on the other hand, had a 5-5-inch LCD retina display with a 1920 x 1080 pixel resolution and 88% more viewing area than the older iPhones.
Both phones looked pretty much the same inside. They each had 1 GB of RAM and the most recent A8 silicon chip from the company. With the most recent iOS 8, the iPhone 6 and 6 Plus were substantially easier to use and instinctively utilize. The Health App, Family Sharing, and Apple Pay—at the time, an advanced system for paying for both in-app purchases and physical goods—were among the new additions.
According to TechCrunch, more than 10 million iPhone 6 and 6 Plus units were sold on opening weekend, making them an immediate worldwide hit. The iPhone 6 was priced starting at $649, while the iPhone 6 Plus was priced starting at $74
