They run Apple's iOS mobile operating system. The first generation iPhone was released on June 29, 2007; the most recent iPhone models are the iPhone 6s and iPhone 6s Plus, which were unveiled at a special event on September 9, 2015. The user interface is built around the device's multi-touch screen, including a virtual keyboard. The iPhone has Wi-Fi and can connect to cellular networks. An iPhone can shoot video (though this was not a standard feature until the iPhone 3GS), take photos, play music, send and receive email, browse the web, send texts, GPS navigation, record notes, do mathematical calculations, and receive visual voicemail. Other functions—video games, reference works, social networking, etc.—can be enabled by downloading application programs (‘apps’); as of October 2013, the App Store offered more than one million apps by Apple and third parties〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.apple.com/pr/library/2013/01/07App-Store-Tops-40-Billion-Downloads-with-Almost-Half-in-2012.html )〕 and is ranked as the world's largest mobile software distribution network of its kind (by number of currently available applications). There are nine generations of iPhone models, each accompanied by one of the nine major releases of iOS. The original 1st-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 cellular network capabilities and A-GPS location. The iPhone 3GS added a faster processor and a higher-resolution camera that could record video at 480p. The iPhone 4 featured a higher-resolution 960×640 "Retina Display", a VGA front-facing camera for video calling and other apps, and a 5-megapixel rear-facing camera with 720p video capture.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=iPhone 4 - Technical Specifications )〕 The iPhone 4S upgrades to an 8-megapixel camera with 1080p video recording, a dual-core A5 processor, and a natural language voice control system called Siri. iPhone 5 features the dual-core A6 processor, increases the size of the Retina display to 4 inches, introduces LTE support and replaces the 30-pin connector with an all-digital Lightning connector. The iPhone 5C features the same A6 chip as the iPhone 5, along with a new backside-illuminated FaceTime camera and a new casing made of polycarbonate. The iPhone 5S features the dual-core 64-bit A7 processor, an updated camera with a larger aperture and dual-LED flash, and the Touch ID fingerprint scanner, integrated into the home button, and fitness tracking facilities. The iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus further increased screen size, measuring at 4.7 inches and 5.5 inches, respectively. In addition, they also feature a new A8 chip and M8 motion coprocessor. As of 2013, the iPhone 3GS had the longest production run, 1,181 days; followed by the iPhone 4, produced for 1,174 days. The resounding sales of the iPhone, at the time, have been credited with reshaping the smartphone industry and helping make Apple one of the world's most valuable publicly traded companies by 2011. Almost all modern smartphones have replicated the iPhone design of a slate format with a touchscreen interface. In late 2014, JP Morgan estimated "iPhone percentage of the worldwide smartphone install base has been around 15% since late 2012"〔 〕 being far behind the dominant Android-based smartphones. In a few mature market countries such as Japan, the iPhone has a majority, an exception to Android's dominance, and Australia where Android is rapidly approaching parity. In March 2014, sales of the iPhone brand had reached 500 million devices. In the last quarter of 2014, there were 74.5 million iPhones sold, a record, compared to 51.0 million in the last quarter of 2013.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Apple Reports First Quarter Results )〕 Tim Cook revealed at the Apple Watch conference on March 9, 2015, that Apple had sold a total of 700 million iPhones to date.〔 ==History and availability== ImageSize=width:270 height:480 PlotArea=left:60 bottom:51 top:10 right:16 AlignBars=justify Period=from:0 till:80 TimeAxis=orientation:horizontal Colors= id:gray value:gray(0.5) id:line1 value:gray(0.9) id:line2 value:gray(0.7) ScaleMajor=unit:year increment:25 start:0 gridcolor:line2 ScaleMinor=unit:year increment:25 start:0 gridcolor:line1 BarData= bar:Q3_2007 text:Q3_2007 bar:Q4_2007 text:Q4_2007 bar:Q1_2008 text:Q1_2008 bar:Q2_2008 text:Q2_2008 bar:Q3_2008 text:Q3_2008 bar:Q4_2008 text:Q4_2008 bar:Q1_2009 text:Q1_2009 bar:Q2_2009 text:Q2_2009 bar:Q3_2009 text:Q3_2009 bar:Q4_2009 text:Q4_2009 bar:Q1_2010 text:Q1_2010 bar:Q2_2010 text:Q2_2010 bar:Q3_2010 text:Q3_2010 bar:Q4_2010 text:Q4_2010 bar:Q1_2011 text:Q1_2011 bar:Q2_2011 text:Q2_2011 bar:Q3_2011 text:Q3_2011 bar:Q4_2011 text:Q4_2011 bar:Q1_2012 text:Q1_2012 bar:Q2_2012 text:Q2_2012 bar:Q3_2012 text:Q3_2012 bar:Q4_2012 text:Q4_2012 bar:Q1_2013 text:Q1_2013 bar:Q2_2013 text:Q2_2013 bar:Q3_2013 text:Q3_2013 bar:Q4_2013 text:Q4_2013 bar:Q1_2014 text:Q1_2014 bar:Q2_2014 text:Q2_2014 bar:Q3_2014 text:Q3_2014 bar:Q4_2014 text:Q4_2014 bar:Q1_2015 text:Q1_2015 bar:Q2_2015 text:Q2_2015 bar:Q3_2015 text:Q3_2015 PlotData= color:tan1 width:10 bar:Q3_2007 from:start till:0.270000 text:0.27 million bar:Q4_2007 from:start till:1.190000 text:1.19 million bar:Q1_2008 from:start till:2.315000 text:2.315 million bar:Q2_2008 from:start till:1.703000 text:1.703 million bar:Q3_2008 from:start till:0.717000 text:0.717 million bar:Q4_2008 from:start till:6.890000 text:6.89 million bar:Q1_2009 from:start till:4.363000 text:4.363 million bar:Q2_2009 from:start till:3.793000 text:3.793 million bar:Q3_2009 from:start till:5.208000 text:5.208 million bar:Q4_2009 from:start till:7.367000 text:7.367 million bar:Q1_2010 from:start till:8.737000 text:8.737 million bar:Q2_2010 from:start till:8.752000 text:8.752 million bar:Q3_2010 from:start till:8.398000 text:8.398 million bar:Q4_2010 from:start till:14.102000 text:14.102 million bar:Q1_2011 from:start till:16.240000 text:16.240 million bar:Q2_2011 from:start till:18.650000 text:18.65 million bar:Q3_2011 from:start till:20.340000 text:20.34 million bar:Q4_2011 from:start till:17.070000 text:17.07 million bar:Q1_2012 from:start till:37.040000 text:37.04 million bar:Q2_2012 from:start till:35.100000 text:35.10 million bar:Q3_2012 from:start till:26.000000 text:26.00 million bar:Q4_2012 from:start till:26.900000 text:26.90 million bar:Q1_2013 from:start till:47.800000 text:47.80 million bar:Q2_2013 from:start till:37.400000 text:37.40 million bar:Q3_2013 from:start till:31.200000 text:31.20 million bar:Q4_2013 from:start till:33.800000 text:33.80 million bar:Q1_2014 from:start till:51.000000 text:51.0 million bar:Q2_2014 from:start till:43.719000 text:43.719 million bar:Q3_2014 from:start till:35.203000 text:35.203 million bar:Q4_2014 from:start till:39.272000 text:39.272 million bar:Q1_2015 from:start till:74.500000 text:74.50 million bar:Q2_2015 from:start till:61.170000 text:61.170 million bar:Q3_2015 from:start till:47.534000 text:47.534 million TextData= pos:(70,20) textcolor:gray fontsize:S text:Worldwide iPhone sales by Apple's fiscal TextData= pos:(70,5) textcolor:gray fontsize:S text:quarters (Q1 2012 = Oct–Dec 2011). (詳細はJonathan Ive, the designer behind the iMac and iPod.〔Gladwell, Malcolm (November 14, 2011). ("The Tweaker: The real genius of Steve Jobs." ) ''The New Yorker''. p. 2〕 Apple CEO Steve Jobs steered the original focus away from a tablet, like the iPad, and towards a phone. Apple created the device during a secretive collaboration with AT&T Mobility—Cingular Wireless at the time—at an estimated development cost of US$150 million over thirty months. Apple rejected the "design by committee" approach that had yielded the Motorola ROKR E1, a largely unsuccessful〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Before the iPhone there was ROKR )〕 collaboration with Motorola. Instead, Cingular gave Apple the liberty to develop the iPhone's hardware and software in-house and even paid Apple a fraction of its monthly service revenue (until the iPhone 3G), in exchange for four years of exclusive US sales, until 2011. Jobs unveiled the iPhone to the public on January 9, 2007, at the Macworld 2007 convention at the Moscone Center in San Francisco. The two initial models, a 4 GB model priced at US$499 and an 8 GB model at US$599 (both requiring a 2-year contract), went on sale in the United States on June 29, 2007, at 6:00 pm local time, while hundreds of customers lined up outside the stores nationwide. The passionate reaction to the launch of the iPhone resulted in sections of the media dubbing it the 'Jesus phone'. Following this successful release in the US, the first generation iPhone was made available in the UK, France, and Germany in November 2007, and Ireland and Austria in the spring of 2008. On July 11, 2008, Apple released the iPhone 3G in twenty-two countries, including the original six. Apple released the iPhone 3G in upwards of eighty countries and territories.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=iPhone 3G Coming to countries everywhere )〕 Apple announced the iPhone 3GS on June 8, 2009, along with plans to release it later in June, July, and August, starting with the US, Canada and major European countries on June 19. Many would-be users objected to the iPhone's cost,〔 and 40% of users have household incomes over US$100,000.〔 The back of the original first generation iPhone was made of aluminum with a black plastic accent. The iPhone 3G and 3GS feature a full plastic back to increase the strength of the GSM signal. The iPhone 3G was available in an 8 GB black model, or a black or white option for the 16 GB model. The iPhone 3GS was available in both colors, regardless of storage capacity. The iPhone 4 has an aluminosilicate glass front and back with a stainless steel edge that serves as the antennas. It was at first available in black; the white version was announced, but not released until April 2011, 10 months later. The iPhone has gained positive reviews from such critics as David Pogue and Walt Mossberg. The iPhone attracts users of all ages,〔 and besides consumer use, the iPhone has also been adopted for business purposes.〔(【引用サイトリンク】date=July 14, 2007 )〕 Users of the iPhone 4 reported dropped/disconnected telephone calls when holding their phones in a certain way. This became known as antennagate.〔Ionescu, Daniel. (July 17, 2010) (Apple's iPhone 4 Antennagate Timeline ). PCWorld. Retrieved November 6, 2011.〕 On January 11, 2011, Verizon announced during a media event that it had reached an agreement with Apple and would begin selling a CDMA iPhone 4. Verizon said it would be available for pre-order on February 3, with a release set for February 10. In February 2011, the Verizon iPhone accounted for 4.5% of all iPhone ad impressions in the US on Millennial Media's mobile ad network. From 2007 to 2011, Apple spent $647 million on advertising for the iPhone in the US.〔 On Tuesday, September 27, Apple sent invitations for a press event to be held October 4, 2011, at 10:00 am at the Cupertino Headquarters to announce details of the next generation iPhone, which turned out to be iPhone 4S. Over 1 million 4S models were sold in the first 24 hours after its release in October 2011.〔(Press Info – iPhone 4S Pre-Orders Top One Million in First 24 Hours ). Apple (October 10, 2011). Retrieved November 6, 2011.〕 Due to large volumes of the iPhone being manufactured and its high selling price, Apple became the largest mobile handset vendor in the world by revenue, in 2011, surpassing long-time leader Nokia. American carrier C Spire Wireless announced that it would be carrying the iPhone 4S on October 19, 2011. In January 2012, Apple reported its best quarterly earnings ever, with 53% of its revenue coming from the sale of 37 million iPhones, at an average selling price of nearly $660. The average selling price has remained fairly constant for most of the phone's lifespan, hovering between $622 and $660. The production price of the iPhone 4S was estimated by IHS iSuppli, in October 2011, to be $188, $207 and $245, for the 16 GB, 32 GB and 64 GB models, respectively. Labor costs are estimated at between $12.50 and $30 per unit, with workers on the iPhone assembly line making $1.78 an hour. In February 2012, ComScore reported that 12.4% of US mobile subscribers used an iPhone. Approximately 6.4 million iPhones are active in the US alone.〔 On September 12, 2012, Apple announced the iPhone 5. It has a 4-inch display, up from its predecessors' 3.5-inch screen. The device comes with the same 326 pixels per inch found in the iPhone 4 and 4S. The iPhone 5 has the SoC A6 processor, the chip is 22% smaller than the iPhone 4S' A5 and is twice as fast, doubling the graphics performance of its predecessor. The device is 18% thinner than the iPhone 4S, measuring , and is 20% lighter at . On July 6, 2013, it was reported that Apple was in talks with Korean mobile carrier SK Telecom to release the next generation iPhone with LTE Advanced technology. On July 22, 2013, the company's suppliers said that Apple is testing out larger screens for the iPhone and iPad. "Apple has asked for prototype smartphone screens larger than 4 inches and has also asked for screen designs for a new tablet device measuring slightly less than 13 inches diagonally, they said." On September 10, 2013, Apple unveiled two new iPhone models during a highly anticipated press event in Cupertino. The iPhone 5C, a mid-range-priced version of the handset that is designed to increase accessibility due to its price is available in five colors (green, blue, yellow, pink, and white) and is made of plastic. The iPhone 5S comes in three colors (black, white, and gold) and the home button is replaced with a fingerprint scanner (Touch ID). Both phones shipped on September 20, 2013. On September 9, 2014, Apple revealed the iPhone 6 and the iPhone 6 Plus at an event in Cupertino. Both devices had a larger screen than their predecessor, at 4.7 and 5.5 inches respectively. In January 2015, "Apple stands on second slot i.e only 31% in US market". Competing devices with Android operating system have a market share approximately 62% of the US, 82.7% of the Chinese market, and 73.3% of the European market (countries such as the UK, France, Germany Spain and Italy). 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「IPhone」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
