In 2007, Steve Jobs and Apple company introduced their first iPhone. The first iPhone series only has built-in application features without being able to add third-party applications developed by the developers.

The following year 2008 the iPhone 3G was introduced by Apple. This iPhone 3G is a gadget that has the most advanced technology at that time.

Although coupled with graphics performance, the technology used is not much different from the previous iPhone 2G technology. The total application at that time was 85 thousand applications on the App Store with total downloads reaching 2 billion times.
In 2010 Steve Jobs introduced the iPhone 4. In terms of design, features, and specifications, the iPhone 4 underwent a very significant change from the previous series. According to data, in 2010, a study even revealed that one in seven people who own a smartphone uses an iPhone. iPhone 4 broke the iPhone sales record by selling 1.2 million units in its first week of release.
The 2011 iPhone 4S has a similar fate to the iPhone 3Gs. Having a design that is identical to the iPhone 4, the iPhone 4S is equipped with many of the latest technologies such as a 5-lens 8 megapixel camera, an A5 chip that has a speed of up to 2x an A4 chip, and a faster graphics processing up to 9x. No less than 4 million iPhone 4S were sold in its first week of release. Currently, according to Apple’s claim, there are more than 500 thousand applications in the App Store with developers who have received payments of up to more than 3 billion dollars as part of the 70-30 revenue sharing agreement on the App Store.
