For the real life smartphone application, see iFruit App.
iFruit is a line of smartphones designed and marketed by Fruit Computers, in the HD Universe. It is an obvious parody of the Apple iPhone.
Overview[]
The 3G has few functions and is described as "All ego".
The 8 is identical to the 9iX apart from the absence of Shelley.
The 9iX can be used to snap pictures with Snapmatic in-game and upload them to Rockstar Games Social Club. The phone also has other apps. In addition to the Snapmatic app there is email, texts, checklist/job list (online), quick save, contacts, settings, internet, and Trackify (only available on a mission).
iFruit's main competitor as of 2013 is Drone. In The Contract update for Grand Theft Auto Online, it was revealed that bitterSweet phones held a mass-market share until they were displaced by iFruits, but held a chance to become competitive once more with a relaunch in 2021.

Trivia[]
- The fruit bowl-shaped logo of the phone clearly resembles a penis, another example of Rockstar's sexual humor.
- In Grand Theft Auto V, a news articles from the Daily Globe after the mission Marriage Counseling that announces a new model of iFruit to be released in 3 months, however there is already a man named Sean Douglas waiting for the phone outside of an iFruit store in Downtown Algonquin, while he is defecating in plastic bags, eating cans of tuna and being spat on by strangers. This is clearly a mockery towards iPhone fans that wait months in queues outside of Apple stores before a new model is released. Sean is featured in two further news articles, where it is revealed he died of leprosy whilst still waiting for his phone.
- In Grand Theft Auto Online, the three bars in the top left of the screen shows the quality of the player's connection to the session they're in.
- In The Loneliest Robot in Great Britain, the box for the new Phil model has the iFruit logo on it.
- The phone's default ringtone bears close similarities to the iPhone 4S' default ringtone, named "Marimba".
- The iFruit ads cite the real iPhone's criticisms, which include (amongst others) its slow design changes and uninnovative software.
- In the enhanced edition of the game, the phone resembles a cross between the iPhone 5C and the Nokia Lumia 430, with a similar color and soft button design.
- Also in the enhanced version, the iFruit's home screen is updated to look more in line with the design language introduced in iOS 7.
- In Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories, an ad for an early iFruit computer is seen on a billboard near the film studio on Prawn Island.
- The iFruit smartphones in GTA Online being based on a 2013 era iPhone would effectively be obsolete since 2020, due to the widespread sunset of 3G towers in most of the United States outside of select markets usually in remote rural areas. At the bare minimum, in order to receive service, the iFruit would need to be on voLTE.
