Today it is difficult to remember what the world was without smartphones, and the era of pocket gadgets should still be counted from the iPhone. This event was one of the most iconic in the history of Apple and significantly influenced the development of the mobile phone industry and the alignment of forces of manufacturing companies, putting an end to the leadership of Nokia and BlackBerry.

In 2007, during a presentation at the MacWorld event, Steve Jobs raised his first iPhone. It is worth noting that this stunt co-founder Apple did not for the first time: before this was a gruesome announcement of iMac G3. Also the world perfectly remembered the announcement of iPod Classic with the words "1000 songs in your pocket". But still the effect from the iPhone was not just stronger, it affected the lives of millions of people and literally changed the world around us.

Prior to the announcement of the iPhone, there were all sorts of communicators, but they all had physical keyboards. IPhone became the first real smartphone - a touch keyboard and just a few physical keys. Here you can recall the short-lived era of the PDA or PDA - they all went to oblivion as soon as smartphones appeared, and all other flagship devices used cliches as the cliche "killer iPhone". Attempts were many and even some of them can be called successful, but after several dozen attempts, the iPhone is still alive!.

What was the first iPhone?.

-He was expensive: from 499 to 599 dollars.

Today it seems surprising, but the iPhone of the first generation was introduced on January 9, 2007, and the sale was received only on June 29, 2007. It turns out that 10 years ago it was possible to announce the device and release it six months after the announcement; Today from the announcement to the start of sales is literally a week or two.

And literally on the day of the announcement, the old foundations began to slowly die and the companies representing them: BlackBerry, Nokia, Microsoft did not see the future in devices with a touch-interface and smartphones, and as a result, all these three companies are only shadows of themselves. In addition to Microsoft, of course, they have a very lucrative and ongoing software business.

At the start, the iPhone was not surprising with a powerful camera - only 2 megapixels of resolution - then many photographic companies were not serious about cameras in the mobile phone, but after a few years people gradually began to leave their compact cameras at home and began sharing their pictures on smartphones right away on social networks.

For today, over 1 billion iPhones have been sold in the world: over the back ten long years.
