The iPhone 4 received generally positive reception , with critics praising its revamped design and more powerful hardware in comparison to previous models . While it was a market success , with over 600,000 pre-orders within 24 hours , the release of the iPhone 4 was plagued by highly publicized reports that abnormalities in its new antenna design caused the device to lose its cellular signal if held in a certain way . Most human contact with the phone 's outer edge would cause a significant decrease in signal strength .   The iPhone 4 spent the longest time as Apple 's flagship iPhone model at fifteen months , and had the longest lifespan of any iPhone ever produced , spanning close to four years and available in some developing countries until early 2015 .

The iPhone 6 and 6 Plus received positive reviews , with critics regarding their improved design , specifications , camera , and battery life as being improvements over previous iPhone models . However , aspects of the design of iPhone 6 were also panned , including plastic strips on the rear of the device for its antenna that disrupted the otherwise metal exterior , and the screen resolution of the standard-sized iPhone 6 being lower than other devices in its class . Pre-orders of the iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus exceeded four million within its first 24 hours of availability -- an Apple record . More than ten million iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus devices were sold in the first three days , another Apple record .   Despite their positive reception , the iPhone 6 and 6 Plus have been the subject of several hardware issues , including most prominently , being susceptible to bending under pressure ( a design flaw nicknamed `` Bendgate '' ) , and as a byproduct of this lack of rigidity , the touchscreen 's internal hardware being susceptible to losing its connection to the phone 's logic board ( nicknamed `` Touch Disease '' ) . The iPhone 6 Plus was also the subject of camera issues , including some devices with malfunctioning optical image stabilization or otherwise defects on rear cameras .

Reception of the iPhone 7 was mixed . Although reviewers noted the improvements to the camera , especially the dual rear camera on the Plus model , they also stated that the iPhone 7 did not make significant changes to the display or build quality , where competing flagship smartphones surpassed the quality of the iPhone 7 . Many reviews highlighted the controversial removal of the 3.5 mm headphone jack ; some critics argued that the change was meant to bolster licensing of the proprietary Lightning connector and the sales of Apple 's own wireless headphone products , and questioned the effects of the change on audio quality . Apple was also mocked by critics for its statement that the change required `` courage '' .   The iPhone 7 has been the subject of several reported issues , most notably a hissing noise during heavy usage of the phones and significant differences in performance between device variants . Apple has not released sales numbers for iPhone 7 , but multiple U.S. carriers reported that it was in high demand on launch . Subsequent reports at the end of 2016 stated that Apple had reduced production of the models due to `` sluggish '' sales and decreasing demand , though sales research after the first quarter of 2017 placed the devices as the best-selling smartphones in the world .

Founders Steve Jobs and Steve Wozniak created Apple Computer on April 1 , 1976 , and incorporated the company on January 3 , 1977 , in Cupertino , California .   For more than three decades , Apple Computer was predominantly a manufacturer of personal computers , including the Apple II , Macintosh , and Power Mac lines , but it faced rocky sales and low market share during the 1990s . Jobs , who had been ousted from the company in 1985 , returned to Apple in 1996 after his company NeXT was bought by Apple . The following year he became the company 's interim CEO , which later became permanent . Jobs subsequently instilled a new corporate philosophy of recognizable products and simple design , starting with the original iMac in 1998 .   With the introduction of the successful iPod music player in 2001 and iTunes Music Store in 2003 , Apple established itself as a leader in the consumer electronics and media sales industries , leading it to drop `` Computer '' from the company 's name in 2007 . The company is now also known for its iOS range of smart phone , media player , and tablet computer products that began with the iPhone , followed by the iPod Touch and then iPad . , Apple was the largest publicly traded corporation in the world by market capitalization , with an estimated value of US$ 695 billion as of February 9 , 2017 .

The iPhone 6S has a similar design to the 6 but updated hardware , including a strengthened chassis and upgraded system-on-chip , a 12-megapixel camera , improved fingerprint recognition sensor , and LTE Advanced support . The iPhone 6S also introduces a new hardware feature known as `` 3D Touch '' , which enables pressure-sensitive touch inputs .   iPhone 6S had a polarized reception . While performance and camera quality were praised by most reviewers , the addition of 3D Touch was liked by one critic for the potential of entirely new interface interactions , but disliked by another critic for not providing users with an expected intuitive response before actually using the feature . The battery life was criticized , and one reviewer asserted that the phone 's camera was n't significantly better than the rest of the industry . The iPhone 6S set a new first-weekend sales record , selling 13 million models , up from 10 million for the iPhone 6 in the previous year . However , Apple saw its first-ever quarterly year-over-year decline in iPhone sales in the months after the launch , credited to a saturated smartphone market in Apple 's biggest countries and a lack of iPhone purchases in developing countries .
