The Apple iPhone has forever changed the face of the mobile phone industry. All the versions of the iPhone have brought something new to the industry and it remains to be seen how Apple’s iPhone 4G will fare upon its launch.

It’s only been three years since the first Apple iPhone made it to retail stores around the world. It was a breath of fresh air to an industry bursting with 1.5 mega pixel candy bar phones. Like a phoenix from the ashes, the mobile phone industry saw an enormous boom and with the first iPhone in the lead, the era of touchscreen phones began.

When it had first come out, the iPhone faced a lot of criticism as it lacked many of the basic features which were expected to be available even with the cheapest mobile phone. However, after one year, Apple came out with the iPhone 3G, a phone that corrected and improved upon many of the shortcomings of its earlier model.

Unlike the 2G version, 3G had the option of sending and receiving MMSes, this was one of the biggest problems faced by the original iPhone and was one of the reasons why some people opted to stay away from it. Apple iPhone 3G also had GPS support, this allows the users to easily chart out a simple, safe, fast and easy to follow route to their destination. Users can also check out the various restaurants, hospitals and other important structures by using the A-GPS along with pre-loaded Google Maps.

Two years have passed since the iPhone 3G came out; and Apple took that time to work on the successor to the throne. The Apple iPhone 4G is expected to hit the stores on  the 21st of June and will aim to take the ‘iPhone’ experience to another level. This new model will improve upon the resolution, camera, better battery, better storage, micro SIM and a new, faster processor.

The iPhone has been spread into all generations of mobile phones. The 2G has been discontinued, the 3G is available now and the 4G will be available in a couple of weeks. No matter the make, attractive Apple iPhone deals from Vodafone, Three, O2, Orange, Tmobile and Virgin are available on many online shopping sites.
