In early 2007, at an electronic exhibition, the head of Apple Corporation introduced the world to the first iPhone - a phone that changed all existing ideas about technology. It was Steve Jobs who first came up with the idea of using a touch screen to interact with a computer without a mouse or keyboard. He decided to use this technology on a mobile phone.
The first iPhone was developed in strict secrecy for more than two years. The phone went on sale in the summer of 2007, quickly taking a leading position in the US smartphone market. As expected, this gadget combines the functions of three devices. It became not just a phone, but could also be used as a pocket computer or music player.
It should be noted that the very first iPhone had a number of shortcomings. It received a lot of criticism, for example, due to the lack of 3G support, as a result of which slower technology was used to access the network. In addition, the phone did not support the MMS service. However, the latter was easyfixable, since in the end a special application was created that eliminated this shortcoming.
The advantages of a smartphone include a good design, user-friendly interface and some specific features that only this device had at that time. At present, the fifth iPhone model has already been released, after which rumors began to circulate that the first generation phone was obsolete.
Apple confirmed these assumptions. Officially, the manufacturer in June 2013 is going to announce that the gadget is going out of use, and therefore its service support is being stopped. However, fans of the smartphone not only do not lose heart, but are also looking forward to new items - the sixth model, about which there are a huge number of rumors and legends.
The iPhone is the first to have an aluminum back, as well as a plastic cover at the bottom of the device that covers the antennas. The successful design of this model determined the appearance of such devices for a long time. In less than a year of existence, this gadget outsold all its competitors in sales, leaving them far behind.
And now, fans of high-quality and stylish mobile devices remain loyal to the manufacturer, choosing new models that are offered to them.
Today the world cannot be imagined without this phone, but only 6 years ago its introduction was considered a revolutionary breakthrough in the technology market. The first iPhone did what it seemed beforefantasy. The functions that the gadget possessed seemed amazing at the time.
It should be noted that the company keeps the brand, thanks to which it continues to occupy a leading position. Each model has its own advantages, which favorably distinguish it from the novelties of other manufacturers. Despite the fact that the cost of the gadget is much higher than other similar devices, it is chosen by those who appreciate quality and reliability.
Starting a new era in smartphone development, the first iPhone is officially out of the market. And this may mean that Apple decided to surprise its fans with another device that will not disappoint them.
