apple has released twelve generations of iphone models, each accompanied by one of the twelve major releases of the ios operating system. the first-generation iphone was a gsm phone and established design precedents, such as a button placement that has persisted throughout all releases and a screen size maintained for the next four iterations. the iphone 3g added 3g network support, and was followed by the iphone 3gs with improved hardware, the iphone 4 with a metal chassis, higher display resolution and front-facing camera, and the iphone 4s with improved hardware and the voice assistant siri. the iphone 5 featured a taller, 4-inch display and apple's newly introduced lightning connector. in 2013, apple released the iphone 5s with improved hardware and a fingerprint reader, and the lower-cost iphone 5c, a version of the 5 with colored plastic casings instead of metal. they were followed by the larger iphone 6 and iphone 6 plus, with models featuring displays. the iphone 6s was introduced the following year, which featured hardware upgrades and support for pressure-sensitive touch inputs, as well as the iphone se—which featured hardware from the 6s but the smaller form factor of the 5s. in 2016, apple unveiled the iphone 7 and iphone 7 plus, which add water resistance, improved system and graphics performance, a new rear dual-camera setup on the plus model, and new color options, while removing the 3.5 mm headphone jack found on previous models. the iphone 8 and iphone 8 plus were released in 2017, adding a glass back and an improved screen and camera. the iphone x was released alongside the iphone 8 and iphone 8 plus, with its highlights being a near bezel-less design, an improved camera and a new facial recognition system, named face id, but having no home button, and therefore, no touch id. in september 2018, apple again released 3 new iphones, which are the iphone xs, an upgraded version of the since discontinued iphone x, iphone xs max, a larger variant with the series' biggest display and iphone xr, a lower end version of the iphone x.
