Even a passing glance at the design changes between the devices reveals huge differences, not to mention the constant improvements to the device that Apple has made with both its software and internal hardware. To take just one example of the iPhone’s constant improvement over the years, consider this terrifically detailed comparison produced by Camera+ and MagiCam cofounder Lisa Bettany that shows pictures taken with every single major iPhone model released so far.
