As we know, Apple company releases a new iPhone version every year and Apple never deviates from this principle. But such an expression as "once a year" is a bit vague, don't you think? Therefore, now I propose to understand the exact release date of absolutely each and every iPhone from the company. I think that it will be very interesting for all of us to understand what is the time interval between the introduction of the iPhone, and, so to speak, its release around the world, and of course it will be interesting to know this in particular about Russia.
To make it easier for you to understand this information presented in the form of a table. To make it clearer and easier for you, here are some explanations:
- When it comes to the start of sales in Russia, we mean the official sales of certified devices.
- When it comes to the start of sales in the world, then the concept of the world means the so-called “first wave”, that is, countries in which devices appear first.
Release dates for all iPhone models
| Model devices |
the date presentations |
Start date sales in the world |
Start date sales in Russia |
| iPhone 2G | 09.01.2007 | 29.06.2007 | NO |

| iPhone 3GS | 08.06.2009 | 19.06.2009 | 05.03.2010 |
| iPhone 4 | 07.06.2010 | 24.06.2010 | 22.09.2010 |

| iPhone 7 (Plus) | 07.09.2016 | 16.09.2016 | 23.09.2016 |
If you remember, then in our country the iPhone began to be sold only with 3G models, 2G models were never sold in Russia. Here we talk about this in a little more detail.
We can also see an increase in loyalty to our country from Apple. An indicator of this is the reduction in the time for the release of devices in our country compared to each previous year. And by the time the sixth iPhone was released, they had reached their peak, so to speak. After all, by this moment the difference in the output of devices in the world and ours was only a week! If you find it difficult to understand, then consider that the iPhone 3GS was released in our country after a time period equal to about nine months! The most interesting thing is that at that moment almost the whole world was waiting for the fourth iPhone.
And judging by all this, one could even think that our country would be among the first three countries that received the iPhone this year. But due to some criteria, which I think even you can guess, this did not happen. Here are the criteria:
- Rather low activity of buyers.
- Decent instability of the dollar.
- High prices for this very device.
If we talk about the iPhone of the seventh model, then our country got into the second “sales wave”, so to speak. In Russia, a new device from Apple will appear not much, not much later than in the so-called “first wave” countries, just a week later. And this is good, because, given such a pace, next year we can get into the top three.
Many people who have just decided to buy an iPhone and want to get acquainted with the entire line begin to be interested primarily in the year of release of all models.
Before iPhone release Apple had other products that were worth your attention, but when this little 3.5-inch smartphone came out, everyone just went crazy.
Every year everyone was waiting for its release as a new year. Many Yabloko members have not missed a single presentation and are looking forward to the next one.
iPhone release dates
Before I start, I want to say that I will consider smartphones in groups. Each iPhone deserves special attention, so let's get started.
We will never forget this year. Was distant 2007 and when it came January 9 many still did not understand that the era of something great was beginning.
At that time, when the minimum memory size was only 4 GB, when RAM was only 128 MB and the most interesting, the processor was from Samsung, and its frequency was only 620 MHz - everyone just prayed for this phone.
Then we saw only small changes in design and small improvements in performance. Then not everyone could afford to buy such a luxurious phone. 
It doesn’t matter that his camera shoots incomprehensibly, the main thing is that it is Apple and then the time began when actors in every film began to use this phone.
- 3 : June 10, 2008;
- 3GS: June 8, 2009.
It was like quite recently. Despite the fact that the phones are really outdated, some still use them to this day.
This era of smartphones really gave heat at the time, and then the new case with glass elements showed everyone what Apple designers are capable of. 
Compact but very powerful smartphone occupied top positions among smartphones for a long time. And despite its year of release, now these two are also quite popular.
- 4 : June 7, 2010;
- 4S: October 7, 2011.
Unfortunately, many people forget these legends, because big screens are already popular now. The characteristics of the two legends are fading away every day against the backdrop of today's market.
These four have one thing in common - they are all equipped with an excellent, compact and user-friendly 4-inch display. 
Many people think that this is just the golden mean for a smartphone, when the screen is not too small and it is still very convenient to surf the Internet and use applications.
- 5 : September 12, 2012;
- 5S, 5C: September 10, 2013;
- SE: March 21, 2016.
Fans of such a compact size were very happy with the release of the SE model. Now all the best in one smartphone - design from 5S and stuffing from 6S.
Many have been waiting for the era of shovels and the iPhone. The dream of millions of people came true and two big phone: 4.7 and 5.5 inches. 
People just started to go crazy when these new products appeared. I had to alter my pockets in my pants to make this giant smartphone fit.
- 6, 6PLUS: September 9, 2014
- 6S, 6S Plus: September 9, 2015.
The second series with the letter "S" showed more success, because the cameras have become better, the RAM has doubled at once and now it is an incredibly difficult competitor for everyone.
The design resembles its predecessor in many ways, but thanks to new features like moisture protection and a stubborn tilt towards the camera, they made themselves felt. 
The power of smartphones in this line knows no limits. All performance ratings show these gadgets in the top.
- 7, 7PLUS: September 7, 2016.
It's no secret that many people want to buy this smartphone. Having acquired such a phone, you immediately get a lot of pleasure and get into a little fairy tale called Apple.
