Time passes very quickly, or at least it seems that way to me, and the first iPhone would come of age today. A January 9, 2007that would be the date on which Steve Jobs presented the first model of this device to the world, and I don’t think he expected the success it would have almost two decades later.
Today we are going to review that day, and how this phone has evolved over time. Although it was a revolution that year, many people believed it was going to be a failure, although in the end it was quite the opposite, and its sales have not stopped growing.
This was the first iPhone from 2007
It was that January 9, 2007 where everything changed, and not only by presenting an iPod with more functions and the possibility of calls, but also with the launch of products such as the AppleTVor name change. From that day on they were no longer “Apple Computer, Inc.” but they were renamed “Apple Inc.”, without the word computer involved, since their intention, although it was not to leave aside PCs, was to focus on other types of products, diversifying and capturing more of the market.
The main features of that iPhone presented were the 3.5-inch multi-touch screen without the need for a physical keyboard, a 2 megapixel camera and an advanced mobile operating system for the time.
It was not put on sale until June 296 months later, giving other brands the option to start manufacturing their first “smartphones”, although they never reached the level of the iPhone, due to their own operating system, so, except for the price, they had no rivals, and Apple began to create a new trend and technological era marked by a device that, 18 years later, is still one of the best-selling electronic products in the world.
It is curious how it has changed in all this time, because at its launch, the screen was 480pI was 4 GB of storagethe camera had a resolution of 2 mpx and could not make videos, It only supported 2Gnew applications could not be downloaded, and the price started from $499. Despite all this, it triumphed, since technology has advanced a lot, and of those, all this data, was amazing, especially because of its fluidity, something similar to today, where it may not have, at the data level, the best hardware, but the internal performance that we can appreciate.
And you, did you have the opportunity to try that first iPhone? The truth is that it was my turn when I was little, and due to the price, it was not a phone that they were going to give me as my first smartphone, so I was only able to try the one of a relative who did have it at the time, and the truth is The thing is that from that moment on I fell in love with it, especially because of the games that I already had in those years, nothing to do with the Symbian games that most of us used.
