AVI Toolbox 2.4 was available as a giveaway on May 6, 2016!
How would you improve AVI Toolbox 2.4?
IDPhotoStudio is a user-friendly ID photo duplicator and printer.
Further to my last comment - I've now checked and I don't want their software and driver update managers Sumo and Dumo or their cleaner, but in control panel these appear to have been installed along with the AVI toolbox - ie there's not 4 different programs, just AVI toolbox - so if I wanted the AVI tool I have to keep these other programs I don't want. Not happy KC Softwares and uninstalling the lot!
I installed this via the website directly as advised by Kondoril - brilliant way to avoid the internet security preventing download issue. I installed the lite version, carefully checking I wouldn't get any additional unwanted software - and it said nothing about anything else on the website except the lite installer did not contain any sponsor. Shocked to see it also downloaded KC cleaner, Dumo and Sumo?! The cleaner gives me a clue what that does, but don't even know what these other 2 programs do. I didn't get an option to not select them either, what's going on KC Softwares?
On top of that the program doesn't even appear to work as I can't load an AVI file - I get 'Indice ImageList incorrect', close that popup and says 'check video codecs' and '! Unable to extract frame'. I'm not sure if that's what previous comments are referring to when they say the software is 'useless' and 'would not function', but this file I've tried to load opens in VLC and other programs easily, can't see what issue this AVI toolbox has with it. And I don't know whether to waste my time trying to learn what may be the problem due to the other comments - were they unable to load a file too, try and learn what issue was and still found it wouldn't work? More descriptive comments would be helpful, but anyway I'm not sure I want to waste my time on this when there are plenty of free AVI splitters out there that load files without a problem.

I went out of my way to download, install, and try on two different machines -- one Win 8.1 and one Win 10. I agree with previous comment that this software is fairly useless PLUS this software would not function on either machine!!
Yrral, what do you mean by it's 'useless' software? What's useless about it? And it 'would not function' - how did it not function? Could you load an AVI file - as I can't, as per my comment above. Thanks.
maddy, It would not load any avi video file that I tried, thus, as it is, it is useless to me. I tried 3 different avi's on the 8.1 and yet another 2 different avi's on the 10.
Fairly useless. GAOTD has got to up its game and offer better stuff or I'll just stop looking altogether. That is almost the case now.
Barry Williams, what do you mean by it's 'useless' software? What's useless about it? I have many AVI files I want to split for example so it's useful for me, are you saying it's useless because it doesn't work - or just that you don't need it? Thanks.
VirtualDub is the king in the domain of video editing, can do much more, but costs nothing.
A quick look found : Avidemux, Vidiot, Video Edit Master, Jahshaka, OpenShot, Shotcut, and more can be found.
So why should we pay $14.99 for such a simple video editor?

AVI Toolbox, like most all video software, has its limitations -- IMHO the 1st step is establishing what that type of software, & the app itself can & can't do. Typically an old school avi splitter rewrites the avi file you have opened, using the start & end times you set in the program. A decent example might be the free VirtualDub, that works with the avi files common years ago when it was 1st released -- avi files encoded using VFW [Video For Windows] codecs, & that were very often made up of all complete frames. This type of splitter can't do all types of video files, though most types of video can be stuck in an avi container.
Usually the software's web site has a listing of some sort on what file types it can work with, but the only info I saw was the single forum post complaining that [what I assumes was] the full version of the trial had the usually optional software bundled. The biggest limitation I've found personally with splitting or trimming avi files in apps like V/Dub, is that I very rarely have old school avi files to work with. In fact, the only time I've used V/Dub that way in the last several years is when I had to use AviSynth to decode a format like VC1, feeding that to V/Dub [because apps like Vegas won't accept AviSynth as input] & outputting a UT Video intermediate.
That's not to say AVI Toolbox might not be useful to some folks, & if simplicity is your thing, without all the options available in VirtualDub, it has to be simpler to use. Just don't expect it to handle every video file or every format.
Taking a screenshot is relatively easy nowadays -- it used to be more difficult when video was always displayed on an overlay layer that the average screen capture software couldn't "see". It became more difficult when NTSC & PAL broadcast video started becoming common on PCs, & then with video DVDs because they used the same standards. The problem is that the standard 720 x 480/576 [NTSC/PAL] video frames aren't shown at that size on a TV at all -- if you watch it as-is the aspect ratio is off. DVD software players stretch the picture to correct the aspect ratio, & I think that's where the trend, started to be able to do a screen capture within the player.
With an app like AVI Toolbox [like most editing capable software] you have to keep an eye on the aspect ratio of the video as displayed. While HDTVs brought the 1080p & 720p frame sizes that are so very common, where what you see is what you get, the old broadcast standard videos are still common too, plus occasionally you might come across anamorphic video, e.g. 1440 x 1080 video that plays at the standard 1920 X 1080. There are also niche apps out there that average several frames in hopes of improving the snapshot or capture of a single frame.
Extracting the audio [sound] track is pretty easy, with the biggest gotcha being that the software needs to understand the video format you've got, e.g. you *probably* won't use the same app to demux [de-multiplex] AVC/H.264 that you'd use for mpg2 [used on video DVDs]. That said, AVI Toolbox should be OK with the file types it handles, & you shouldn't have any trouble finding alternatives at sites like videohelp for whatever other format you've got. Beyond that, once you get that audio track, variable bit rate mp3 audio can be iffy to work with, while AC3 & DTS can be a bear -- DTS because you can't get official software, AC3 because of that & because of its structure. If/when you get into 5.1-7.1 etc., to edit or to save an intermediary you need software capable of waveformatex, or preferred, .w64 [Wave 64], because the latter doesn't have the file size limitations of .wav files [with .wav you often start to run into problems at anything over 2GB, with a hard limit of 4GB].
Splitting [cutting/trimming] &/or joining video is more complicated, so left for last. *Without Re-encoding* you can cut &/or join video only at complete frames. Video files where every frame is a complete picture can be cut & joined anywhere, but they're more rare because the files tend to be huge -- it's far more common for those complete frames to be scattered throughout. *If you Re-encode* editing software can cut &/or join anywhere, plus you can add transitions [e.g. fades] wherever you do it. That's the simple part.
Video files can have different bits of information at the start of the file &/or throughout the file, plus video tracks can be the same format &/or frame size, but have either or both different encoding settings & structures. You can take the same video source, encode it to the same format, using the same settings with 2 different encoders, & get 2 files that are different [incompatible] internally. What that means is that Your Mileage May Vary, capitalized. AVI Toolbox may not do a great job splitting every video file it opens because of that. If at the beginning of the video file it references every frame in that file, if you cut or split it without re-encoding, you may have to repair it afterward, or it may just not ever work, or work perfectly.
If you're using other software capable of joining video files, & want to avoid re-encoding when joining video from different sources, the video needs to match. If you're using software that features smart rendering, which means outputting video only re-encoding the parts that you've changed, the video clips need to match each other, Plus match the encoder that software uses. There are fewer apps that do this sort of thing, many are not free, & many only work with a specific kind of video file.

And apologies -- clicked the link for Soft Organizer on the landing page, & didn't notice that's not what opened.
mike, And apologies -- clicked the link for Soft Organizer on the landing page, & didn't notice that's not what opened.
I downloaded this 4 different times last night and IT DOES NOT INSTALL!
The download will not proceed any further than the "sharing download" page. I tried Internet Explorer 11 and Firefox. When I tried using GOTD email link I got the message saying "wrong email". It is the same email address and I have used with GOTD for years.
kc4cop, don't worry yourself about missing out as you lose no features by downloading and using the free lite installer from kc softwares website, there are no feature differences between the free and paid versions!
as I suggested in the improvement section, make this work with modern type files, like mp4, mkv and others. I haven't used AVI's for ages now!!
Mario, While I agree in theory, you might consider the name of the software.
Installed fine on Win 10 64-bit system. Would not recognize my avi files. Button to "check codecs" took me to company web site and offered to let me download another software package. Uninstalled via reboot (in honor of Karl :) ).
GK, try disabling/pausing your internet security. I have kaspersky total internet security and every time I want to install a GOTD I have to change the setting to 'don't launch on start up' (pausing it doesn't work for me, but apparently it does for some others), then I reboot the computer and install the already pre-downloaded setup of the offer, and it always works for me. For some reason many here find their internet security won't let them install the offers. Good luck!
kondoril, and you can avoid it altogether and not have to notice and decline any nastyness by downloading the cleaner Lite installer so named to make you think you are losing something worth having which you are not.
maddy, downloading from the developers site does not allways work, the more organised and serious developers make a specific build just for the giveaway that is pre-activated or uses the Activate.exe method or uses a custom security hash for the registration key provided for the giveaway. It works here because there is no special build for THIS giveaway other than KC provided GAOTD team with the Lite installer and not the Regular installer with Relevent Knowledge unwanted program included that you would not want to install.
TK, I installed the lite version, carefully checking I wouldn't get any additional unwanted software - and it said nothing about anything else on the website except the lite installer did not contain any sponsor. Shocked to see it also downloaded KC cleaner, Dumo and Sumo?! The cleaner gives me a clue what that does, but don't even know what these other 2 programs do. I didn't get an option to not select them either.
maddy, your experience does not supprise me, much! Sumo and Dumo are two similar nagware products also sold for 14.99 for software and driver version checking respectively that have also apeared on GAOTD site several times before with same no real benefit to buying them other than things by default we are not entitled to like future updates and free tech support.
Installed ok on win 10 64bit, not sure why the serial number is so ridiculously long, but anyway, tried 4 different .AVI files, non would open, clicked on 'Check Video Codecs' button that appeared, redirects you to a site to download video inspector, installed, ran, identified the needed codec. Clicked on download, this triggered a list of suggestions on google rather than downloading from a database, ran one of the suggestions 'http://www.movavi.com/codec/MJPG.html' this failed, gave up after that. I was looking forward to using the audio extract facility, but as this product relies on external codec sourcing in certain circumstances, this is too much hassle. I'm sure it will work with certain Avi file variations, but not the ones I was looking to work on. Sorry, I didn't want to pen a negative review, I always view positively any submissions on this site, but this one didn't work for me. Keep up the good work GAOTD.
Even the Publisher page do not list a proper features list. for 3 basic fetures I don't get the "and much more"
While installing ESET security intercepted it with a message: "Potentionally unwanted application found"

Sweet chin music: Hay River fiddlers earn scholarships
by Simon Whitehouse February 23, 2022
Simara and Coira Wilson, two young fiddling sisstesr with the Purple Pick Music Studio were recent recipients of a new scholarship called the Gladys Burke Wilson Memorial Scholarship. photo courtesy of Linda Duford
Two fiddlers with the Purple Pick Studio have qualified for a new scholarship.
Simara, 16, and Coira Wilson, 11, both students of the Purple Pick Studio were the the first winners of a national financial award called the Gladys Burke Wilson Memorial Scholarship.
Studio instructor Linda Duford, in seeking out scholarships and any financial aid, came across the scholarship late last year and had the girls apply.
Lisa Freeman, a resident of Oshawa, Ont. said she started the scholarship in memory of her mother, a fiddle player,who passed away in Nov. 2021.
To mark her mother's birthday on Jan. 31, Freeman announced that Hay River's Wilson sisters would split $2,000 to go to private lessons at Purple Pick.
The money aims to cover all weekly private lessons for fiddle playing for both girls as well as any summertime opportunities for summer camps or summer fiddle related activities.
Any difference that is required, Duford has committed to making up and supporting herself.
"The scholarship is based on not only talent, but a willingness to learn and to better themselves, with the instrument," Freeman said.
"Based on their application, they are lovely girls from a nice family and never hesitate to help out whenever they're asked to help out. So they are not only intelligent fiddle players, but a really good couple of girls as well."
Duford said that the news was special for her students and her school as operating during the Covid-19 pandemic has had its challenges.
Gathering limitations at the private music school have largely paralleled closures of other facilities in town, particularly elementary and high schools.
The scholarship opportunity, however, provided a bright spot for the Wilson sisters to put together a video recording for Freeman, to showcase their musical talent and talk about themselves.
"I think she (Freeman) just fell in love with them," Duford said.
"Part of the scholarship requirement was that they showed promise and that they've been fiddling for a long time. But they also had to show that they could use the money."
Duford said that the scholarship is unique and special as it isn't often that such funding support is available for younger fiddlers. Based on what she has found, most musical scholarship funding is designed for older students who are intending to study at the post-secondary level. In other cases, there are some grants in Canada that exist to help students go to summer camp.
"So this was really unique because I don't think there's very many of these kinds of opportunities in Canada," she said. "For two little girls from a little town in the Northwest Territories, it's just so special."

'Inadequate' UK lags behind with protections against 'casino' style takeovers, finds Unite report
UK lags behind with protections against 'casino' style takeovers
The UK is lagging behind other advanced economies with measures to protect against 'casino style' hostile takeovers, according to a report for Britain's largest union, Unite, which calls for a strengthening of UK takeover laws to promote long-term economic stability ahead of short-term interests that destroy British jobs and investment.
The report, Reform of the UK's regulations on mergers, takeovers and shareholders for the longer term, comes in the wake of Unilever's decision to move its headquarters to Rotterdam and calls from across the political spectrum for the UK government to block Melrose's hostile takeover bid for GKN.
Assessing takeover laws in other countries, the report's authors, Acuity Analysis, find that UK firms are particularly susceptible to unwanted hostile takeover bids compared to firms in the Netherlands, France and other European countries because of the low use of protection mechanisms currently available to British companies.
As a result short-term interests of shareholders trump long-term investment and wider stakeholder interests, including those of the workforce and local communities, as well as the national interest.
The increase in cash given to shareholders of UK-listed firms was almost double the increase of investment made by UK firms over the last seven years. Between 2010 and 2017, the amount paid out through dividends increased by 74.5 per cent from £54.1 billion to £94.4 billion, while investment by UK firms increased by 42.5 per cent from £133 billion to nearly £189 billion.
Criticising the short-termism of the City, Unite general secretary Len McCluskey said: "We have worked with Acuity to produce this report because eight years after one great British name, Cadbury, was lost to the country another manufacturing stalwart, GKN, is at risk from a predatory takeover.
"Our takeover law is simply inadequate when it comes to protecting British companies. What happens in this country would not be allowed to happen in France, Holland or Germany, but our government refuses to give our jobs and businesses the same protection.
"Instead, shareholders' interests reign supreme in UK takeover situations regardless of whether it's in the national interest or the long-term interests of a company, its workers, customers and suppliers.
"As we have seen recently with Unilever moving its headquarters to Rotterdam, business will vote with its feet because Theresa May's government sits on its hands.
"City speculators looking to turn a quick buck know that the UK is open to their 'casino style' capitalism. This is wrong: finance should be the servant of the economy, not the other way around."
The report proposes a series of options to strengthen the voice of workers and longer term interests. This includes making firms opt out of rewarding long-term investors with additional voting rights as an anti-hostile takeover measure and way to reduce investment short-termism.
With growing criticism over the government's toothless response to hostile takeovers, the report also draws on the controversial Cadbury takeover by Kraft eight years ago. In addition to banning board members of target companies from cashing in on takeovers, the report recommends that share transactions should be frozen during takeovers to stop short-term speculators determining the outcome of a bid to make a quick profit.
In the case of Cadbury, shares held by short-term investors such as hedge funds stood at around five per cent at the point Kraft made its opening bid. Just 44 days later these shareholders had acquired nearly a third of the company's stock.
Len McCluskey continued: "UK companies already have the flexibility to introduce protective measures, such as rewarding long-term investors with additional rights to guard against hostile takeovers driven by short-term profit.
"That firms choose not to do so points to vested interests and the desire of board members in too many instances to cash-in when the opportunity arises, even when it puts the preservation of jobs and the retention of key British businesses at risk.
"Time is running out for GKN. Melrose's bid is destabilising a giant of UK engineering and it is bewildering, frustrating and irresponsible that the government will not use the powers it has to block the bid. "

Last week I had a pleasure to visit Berlin together with Olympus for the opening of their photo gallery pool party. I haven't been in town for more over a year, maybe that's the reason I enjoyed my time there so much. What's more my sister Magdalena moved to Berlin last year and could show me around, like a real local.
I lived in Ackselhouse, the most beautiful and cosy hotel I've had a chance to stay in. We took these shots on the terrace and in the little back garden. If you like palm trees, pink and Californian vibes, you're going to love this spot.

The US is said to have 34 stars at the beginning of WW1, however, if one looks at the map in the front of the book, there's only 33 states. The Dakota territory was admitted as a single state, and the Arizona territory was never carved out of the New Mexico territory. Whether the "extra" star is an error on the part of the author's, or whether it's deliberate, perhaps some form of symbolism (the "lost states", maybe?), or something else entirely (statehood for DC?), I'm not sure. It increases to 35 after Kentucky is reconquered, and again to 36 after the new state of Houston (carved out of western Texas) is admitted. Sequoyah is under US occupation, but not formally annexed.
By the start of that world's first world war, the Confederate States have 16 states (the original 12 plus Sequoyah [our Oklahoma], Cuba, Sonora, and Chihuahua). However, as Kentucky is reconquered during that war, one presumes a star would be removed, but this is not mentioned.


"The Boxer's Strongest Characteristic is his desire for human affection. This may come as a surprise to those at first impressed by his striking appearance. The short smooth coat, handsomely chiseled head, and square silhouette never fail to excite compliments from passersby as he trots jauntily by your side. Yet the Boxer's greatest wish is to be with the children watching protectively over their play."


A classic text in biblical theology–still relevant for today and tomorrow.
In this 40th anniversary edition of the classic text from one of the most influential biblical scholars of our time, Walter Brueggemann, offers a theological and ethical reading of the Hebrew Bible. He finds there a vision for the community of God whose words and practices of lament, protest and complain give rise to an alternative social order that opposes the totalism of the day. Brueggemann traces the lines from the radical vision of Moses to the solidification of royal power in Solomon to the prophetic critique of that power with a new vision of freedom in the prophets. Linking Exodus to Kings to Jeremiah to Jesus, he argues that the prophetic vision not only embraces the pain of the people, but creates an energy and amazement based on the new thing that God is doing. This edition builds off the revised and updated 2001 edition and includes a new afterword by Brueggemann and a new foreword by Davis Hankins.
The Prophetic Imagination is precisely what the church needs right now.
Shane Claiborne | activist and author of "Executing Grace" and "Red Letter Revolution"
William J. Barber II | author of "The Third Reconstruction"
Brueggemann's book remains as timely as ever, retaining all of its power, insight, and daring.
"To call Walter Brueggemann's book a classic does not do it justice, because that word can wrongly suggest a work that does not help in addressing particular contemporary issues. The Prophetic Imagination is as urgently relevant as the day it was published forty years ago. Brueggemann's book equips theologians and ethicists for the prophetic tasks required to challenge the 'royalist' political structures of our time. He shows us how the biblical prophets broke through widespread denial and despair, overcame pervasive amnesia about who their nation was called to be as a people, and modeled strategies for nurturing life-giving hope and gratitude in the midst of political struggle. In our age of plutocrats, his insights are priceless."
Brueggemann presses a brilliant case for prophetic imagination as the only choice that will not leave us co-opted by the relentless manipulations of empire.
This new edition frames his argument as a word on target for a time that critically needs it.
Neil Elliott | author of "Liberating Paul" and "The Arrogance of Nations"

Ghana is a bird-watcher's paradise and nature-lover's delight. Forest walks captivate the senses as butterflies flit from flower to flower and shafts of sunlight illuminate tiny orchids and other native flowers. The variety of landscape is matched by striking seasonal and regional contrasts. The greens of the hillsides just after it rains, and the golds and ochres of the savannah in the dry season.
The cultural heritage of Ghana includes ancient artistry in fabrics with colourful and popular Ashanti Bonwire Kente cloth, now adopted as a focus of identity by many people of African descent the world over. Ancient terracotta work, traditional gold jewellery, Krobo beads, leather and straw products, woodcarvings of Ahwai-Ashanti. Colourful and traditional festivals are regularly held full of pomp and pageantry with Chiefs and Queen Mothers riding in lushly gilded palanquins.

An EB-5 Regional Center is an organization designated by United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) that sponsors capital investment projects for investment by EB-5 investors. The major advantage for regional center designation is that the regional center can take advantage of indirect job creation. Regional centers help EB-5 investors and project developers because they lessen the difficulty of meeting qualifying job creation requirements under the EB-5 program rules.
ional centers are best for EB-5 applicants who are more concerned with obtaining residency status rather than directly managing an investment on their own.
An RC represents one of two ways for EB-5 investors to obtain conditional permanent residence; the other being direct investment into a new commercial enterprise. Instead of investing directly into the project, the RC sets up an investment fund for the benefit of the EB-5 investors. Investors purchase equity stakes in the investment fund. Then, the fund either purchases equity in the job creating entity (the equity model) or loans the job creating entity money (the loan model). The job creating entity then uses the investment from the fund in the project to create jobs indirectly.
Modeled after other countries' successful investor visa programs, Congress established the Immigrant Investor Pilot Program on Oct. 6, 1992 through Sec. 610 Public Law 102-395. This program allows foreign investors to come to the United States with an EB-5 visa that leads to a green card if they invest a certain amount of money into a new commercial enterprise that will facilitate U.S. economic growth by creating at least 10 fulltime jobs directly or indirectly per investor. After two years, if the project creates 10 jobs per investor, the conditions on that green card are lifted and the investor (and his or her family) becomes a permanent resident. The Pilot Program was recently extended until September 2015.
Regional centers apply for designation by USCIS on Form I-924. The RC will be designated by USCIS to develop capital investment projects in a specific geographic area and in specific industries. Additionally, the RC will be designated to use certain economic methodologies to model indirect job creation. Applicants seeking to start a regional center also must provide USCIS with a hypothetical project or an actual "shovel-ready" project. Included in this application also may be an I-526 exemplar petition seeking project pre-approval for an actual project where EB-5 immigrants will make investments. Including an exemplar I-526 petition theoretically should speed up the adjudications of subsequent I-526 petitions filed by investors in that project.
The main advantage for an RC is that USCIS will allow the project to count indirect and induced jobs in addition to direct jobs towards the job creation requirement. Direct jobs are actual identifiable jobs for qualified employees employed by the commercial enterprise into which the EB-5 investor has directly invested his or her capital (the fund). Indirect jobs are those jobs shown to have been created collaterally by the project as a result of capital invested in a commercial enterprise affiliated with a regional center by an EB-5 investor. Induced jobs are new jobs that are created within the community where a regional center is located as a result of income being spent by EB-5 project workers. The number of indirect jobs created through an EB-5 investor's capital investment is based upon a business plan and a detailed economic analysis, which is evaluated and approved by USCIS during the approval and designation of a regional center for participation the Immigrant Investor Pilot Program.
Additionally, investors in a new commercial enterprise affiliated with an RC need not be involved in the day-to-day management of the business. Instead, the investor can be involved in the policy formation of the fund. Usually, the fund (or new commercial enterprise) is organized as a limited partnership or limited liability company. The investor can become a limited partner or member, respectively, and receive all of the benefits of the State's Uniform Limited Partnership Act or Limited Liability Company Act. Those rights are sufficient involvement for the investor to qualify for an EB-5 visa in the regional center context. The investor need not commit to a certain amount of time directing the business. For some investors, the green card is the only goal of the EB-5 program. For others, the chance to control their business is essential, and in those circumstances, the investor may choose a direct investment over a regional center investment.
Many investors find the regional center investment model attractive because the investor can live anywhere in the United States. He or she does not need to live by the project. Additionally, he or she can work anywhere because employment is not tied to the new commercial enterprise or the project. The EB-5 visa also allows the investor's dependents (spouse and unmarried children under the age of 21) to move permanently to the United States. The dependents can go to school or work without restriction in the United States.
There are current 325 USCIS-approved EB-5 Regional Centers in operation across the United States, with more being approved regularly. This is a sharp increase from the 27 regional centers that operated in 2008. Regional centers can receive funding from multiple EB-5 investors, so long as each investor's investment creates 10 fulltime jobs, which can enable them to accumulate more capital for their projects. Regional centers are also permitted to operate multiple EB-5 projects simultaneously.
Kate Kalmykov is a shareholder at the NYC-area offices of Greenberg Traurig, LLP. Kate handles a range of immigration cases, but is particularly involved in the firm's EB-5 practice, where she works with investors, regional centers and developers. In addition to providing a full scope of legal services for EB-5 participants, Kate is a respected speaker and regularly blogs on EB-5 issues. She is a founding member of the EB-5 Immigration Coalition.


iPhone, from the Iconic company Apple, is celebrating its 12th year anniversary in 2019. In mobile phone industry, iPhone is always something a special one even after how many other competitors come. iPhone is always the King. Let see here the evolution of iPhone from the year 2007 till now.
When comes to Innovation in technology, Apple stands out from the crowd all time. Apple revolutionized the market in many ways, like by introducing mouse in computers, iTunes and iPod in the music industry, and the legendary iPhone in mobile phone Industry.
Whatever Apple introduces in its iPhone model, that will be blindly followed by its competitors. That is the power of iPhone. People all around the globe love to use and own an Apple product which apparently shows the product's quality and reliability.

This is the first ever iPhone model, which introduced with many advanced features that were ahead of its time. Smartphones then were big in size with keypad or keyboard like Blackberry, Nokia phones, etc. But, under Steve Jobs Apple invented many advanced tech features and implemented them in its first smartphone which makes it a grant success.
Even though 128 MB memory and 2 Megapixel camera seems to be pretty low configuration now, that time it was something different and first of its kind.
After the success of first-generation iPhone, Apple announced its second model with 3G connectivity for the faster internet connectivity. During this time only, Appstore was introduced and iPhone 3G comes with preloaded Appstore.

This model came in a bigger size (4 inches) as compared to older phones and this is the first iPhone that came with 1GB RAM. It is taller and thinner than iPhone 4S with high powered chip and so with good performance.
In this phone, 30 pin connector that was used by Apple in other phones were replaced with light 9 pin connector.
iPhone 5S has the same design features as like of iPhone 5. Fingerprint sensor that is being used to lock and unlock phone was introduced in this model which is very exceptional and Apple placed the sensor in the mobile phones home button. After this only, many competitors implemented the same fingerprint sensor in their models.
Innovation: Touch ID, Dual Flash, Slow-motion video.
This phone came in three colors, gold, space grey, and silver.
This model was introduced along with iPhone 5S. As like in the tagline, 'For the Colorful', this phone was available in many colors, blue, green, pink, yellow and white. Other than some color and hardware design, all other specifications and price are same as that of iPhone 5S.
From this model, iPhone enters into the larger screen club, that it comes bigger display also along with better performance. It also had major changes in its form factor and it came in a circular edge instead of sharp like its predecessors.
Innovation: Retina HD Display, Optical Image Stabilization.
These models are the improved ones of iPhones 6 and 6 plus. Camera quality and the internal memory saw a massive improvement from 8 MP to 12 MP and 1GB to 2GB respectively. The outer case of the phone was made with 7K Aluminum to overcome the bending problem that was seen in the iPhone 6.

In this model, camera quality was much more enhanced with more improvement in zoom, portrait mode. Thanks to the software update that enables the user to take perfect photographs. Headphone jacks were removed in these modes and wireless Airpods were introduced.
This phone's design was more or less equal to iPhone 7. Camera quality was improved and filers used in the photos were much more improved. Wireless charging was also introduced in this model.
From this model, iPhone saw a major design change, that is full aspect screen without a home button and also with the famous notch in the screen. Camera quality was also improved much more and the phone looks very glossy.
This is the most expensive iPhone ever.
These models are similar to iPhone X with some upgrades. A12 was processor was used that improved the performance.
