iPhone 7
The iPhone 7 was the first model to get rid of the headphone jack, which caused lots of criticism. It was replaced with a dongle, and new wireless technology to quickly pair ear pods and other devices. A solid state home button, and water resistance was also introduced in this model.
iPhone 8
iPhone 8 introduced wireless charging, a 6 core CPU, and an Apple-designed GPU. It looked similar to the iPhone 7 but with a glass body, to allow for inductive wireless charging.
iPhone X
The iPhone X was launched to commemorate 10 years of iPhones. It was Apple's most expensive phone, and was a complete departure from the standard iPhone design.
