The iPhone is a line of smartphones developed and marketed by Apple since 2007. The first-generation iPhone was announced by then–Apple CEO and co-founder Steve Jobs on January 9, 2007, at Macworld 2007, and first launched in June 2007. Since then, Apple has annually released new iPhone models; the current lineup consists of the iPhone 17, the lower-end iPhone 17e, the lighter and thinner iPhone Air, the more feature-rich iPhone 18 Pro and Pro Max, and the foldable iPhone Duo. As of July 2025, more than three billion iPhones have been sold. Apple has been the largest vendor of mobile phones since 2023.
