In a scant few hours now, we'll dive into chapter five in one of the most compelling stories of our digital-dominated era: The Life And Times of the iPhone. So for those of you who haven't been paying attention, and even those of you who have (hands up if you remember the ROKR iTunes phone), here's a recap -- courtesy of <a href="http://mashable.com/follow/topics/thinglink/">Thinglink</a>, a startup that makes interactive <a href="http://mashable.com/2011/05/17/thinglink/">photos</a> and <a href="http://mashable.com/2011/08/10/thinglink-eventbrite-tags/">ads</a>. 

Hover over the infographic to reveal pictures, videos and links from iPhone history. (The launch date of each phone is at the top of its screen.) Take note of the chips used in each iteration, and find out more about the real genius behind the iPhone's design. Wax nostalgic in the comments about your favorite moments. And get ready for a whole new chapter Tuesday morning, whether it's the <a href="http://mashable.com/2011/10/03/iphone-4s-apple/">iPhone 5, the 4S or both</a>.
