As we know Apple company issues new version iPhone every year and Apple never deviates from this principle. But a phrase like “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 the time interval is between the presentation of the iPhone and its release, so to speak, around the world, and of course it will be interesting to know this in particular about Russia.

To make everything easier for you to understand, this information presented in table form. To make everything clearer and simpler for you, here are some explanations:

1. When we talk about the start of sales in Russia, we mean official sales of certified devices.
2. When it comes to the start of sales in the world, the concept of the world means the so-called “first wave,” that is, the countries in which devices appear first.

Release dates for all iPhone models

Model devices	Date presentations	Start date sales in the world	Start date sales in Russia
iPhone 2G	09.01.2007	29.06.2007	NO
iPhone 3G	10.06.2008	11.07.2008	03.10.2008
iPhone 3GS	08.06.2009	19.06.2009	05.03.2010
iPhone 4	07.06.2010	24.06.2010	22.09.2010
iPhone 4S	04.10.2011	14.10.2011	16.12.2011
iPhone 5	19.09.2012	21.09.2012	14.12.2012
iPhone 5S, 5C	10.09.2013	20.09.2013	25.10.2013
iPhone 6 (Plus)	09.09.2014	19.09.2014	26.09.2014
iPhone 6S (Plus)	09.09.2015	25.09.2015	09.10.2015
iPhone SE	21.03.2016	31.03.2016	05.04.2016
iPhone 7 (Plus)	07.09.2016	16.09.2016	23.09.2016

If you remember, the iPhone began to be sold only with 3G models; 2G models were never sold in Russia. This is discussed in a little more detail here.

We can also see increased loyalty towards our country from Apple. An indicator of this is the reduction in the release time 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 in our country was only a week! If this is difficult for you to understand, then think about the fact that the iPhone 3GS was released in our country after a period of approximately nine months! The most interesting thing is that at this moment almost the whole world was waiting for the fourth iPhone.

And judging by all this, one might even think that our country would be among the first three countries to receive the iPhone this year. But due to some criteria, which I think even you can guess, this did not happen. These are the criteria:

1. Quite low buyer activity.
2. Considerable instability of the dollar exchange rate.
3. High prices for this very device.

If we talk about the iPhone seventh model, then our country has entered the second “wave of sales,” 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 this 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.

To iPhone release Apple had other products that were worth your attention, but when this little 3.5-inch smartphone came out, everyone went crazy.

Every year everyone waited for its release like 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 be looking at smartphones in groups. Every 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 a time when the minimum memory size was only 4 GB, when RAM was only 128 MB and the most interesting thing was that the processor was from Samsung, and its frequency was only 620 MHz - everyone was just praying for this phone.

Then we saw only minor changes in design and minor improvements in performance. Back then, not everyone could afford to buy such a luxurious phone.


It doesn’t matter that his camera doesn’t know how to film, the main thing is that it’s Apple and then the time began when actors in every film started using this phone.

• 3 : June 10, 2008;
• 3GS: June 8, 2009.

It seemed like quite recently. Despite the fact that the phones are really outdated, some still use them to this day.

This era of smartphones really took off in its time, and then the new case with glass elements showed everyone what Apple designers are capable of.


Compact but very powerful smartphone occupied top places among smartphones for a very long time. And despite its release year, these two are also very popular now.

• 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 day by day in today's market.

These four have one thing in common - they are all equipped with an excellent, compact and convenient for many 4-inch display.


Many people believe that this is simply 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;
• S.E.: March 21, 2016.

Fans of this compact size were very happy about the release of the SE model. Now all the best in one smartphone - the design of the 5S and the hardware of the 6S.

Many were waiting for the era of shovels to come for the iPhone. The dream of millions of people came true and two large phones were born at once: 4.7 and 5.5 inches.


People started going crazy when these new products came out. I had to alter the pockets in my pants so that this giant smartphone would fit.

• 6, 6 PLUS: September 9, 2014
• 6S, 6S PLUS: September 9, 2015.

The second series with the letter “S” showed greater success, because the cameras became better, the RAM doubled and now it is an incredibly difficult competitor for everyone.

The design is reminiscent of its predecessor in many ways, but thanks to new features like moisture protection and a persistent tilt towards the camera, they made themselves felt.


The power of smartphones in this line knows no limits. All performance ratings show these gadgets at the top.

• 7, 7 PLUS: September 7, 2016.

It's no secret that many people want to buy this smartphone. Once you get such a phone, you immediately get a lot of pleasure and find yourself in a little fairy tale called Apple.
