IPhone



This is the original iPhone. It was released on June 29, 2007. It is an internet-connected multimedia smartphone designed and manufactered by Apple Inc, with a multi-touch screen. It does not have a physical keyboard, so a virtual keyboard is rendered onto the multi-touch screen. The iPhone functions as a camera phone, a media player and an internet client. The first generation includes Quad-Band GSM with EDGE, unlike the later versions with more advanced UMTS and HSDPA. The name used in firmware is iPhone1,1.

Baseband
The iPhone uses the S-Gold 2 baseband chip.

Application Processor
It makes use of the S5L8900 application processor. At the time, the iPhone, iPhone 3G, and iPod touch all use this same processor.

Bluetooth
Uses the CSR BlueCore4 Chip (BC41B41)

Jailbreak/Unlock Status
Naturally, as the iPhone was a first generation device, it is one of the more hack-friendly iDevices. It is susceptible to Pwnage 2.0 for an untethered jailbreak, and will remain that way since it is a hardware-based exploit. The iPhone unlock is also available and is unfixable by Apple. The iPhone Dev Team created BootNeuter which can remove restrictions the Baseband Bootloader imposes and unlock the iPhone no matter what.
