The iPhone Through the Years

A Showcase of iPhone pictures from its humble beginnings
Let’s take a look at the iPhone’s legacy through pictures.

Original iPhone: January 9, 2007
The first iPhone was declared on January 9, 2007, at Macworld in San Francisco, California and was released on June 29, 2007 in the United States. The phone was accessible in both 4GB and 8GB storage capacities, with the original 8GB iPhone for the price of $600.

Many would-be customers were enraged at the phone's expensive price tag so Apple plunged it down after several months. Then, the company offered a $100 store credit to early iPhone users who purchased the handset during its costly days.

 

Not the Details, But the Overall Design

Are the tech consumers really confused whether it is an iPhone or a Galaxy phone? This is the conundrum that the two tech giants Apple and Samsung are battling in an international courtroom centering on product design patents and copyrights. Apple’s team believes that a lot of buyers purchase a Samsung phone thinking that it is an iPhone. Well, this can only mean two things; either Samsung voraciously copied Apple’s iconic design, or consumers aren’t really paying attention to what they buy.

It could also mean that Samsung phones are the affordable ones and somehow, people wanted a taste of an Apple phone, even if only by the looks of it.

Changing Trends With the Help of Smartphones

People nowadays see the value that mobile phones give as an important communication tool for everyday use.  Even parents are more than willing to give their kids their own mobile phone units because they see the value that they could contact their kids at anytime they want to check on them which gives them peace of mind. This is making the market grow larger and the customer base wider.  Before, mobile phones used to be a tool that office workers used but it has become a gadget that every member of the family appreciates.
