The First iPhone and Beyond
The
First iPhone
The first iPhone came out on June 29 in 2007, going for a
whopping $500 original retail price. A revolutionary new product with a touch display
instead of buttons took the world by storm. In the race for the newest and best
phone on the market Apple completely changed the game by making the new best
thing to be buttonless phones that can also take photos. By November of 2007 there
had already been 1.4 million sold grossing around $700,000,000 in revenue in
only a couple months. Needless to say, the phone was a hit. 5 years after the
release of the iPhone around 200 million had been sold sending Apple far past
their competition at the time. After their initial success Apple has been
making iPhones almost every year with the exception of a few. The iPhone 2 and
iPhone 9 were never made with this generation being skipped entirely and they
are now up to their 12th generation with the iPhone 12 Pro Max. With
the increased rate of innovation, it is not hard to see how only 13 years later
we have phones with multitudes of extra features than ever imagined before. Phones
now have Artificial Intelligence, cameras that are better than professional ones,
and multiple tools that make other technologies obsolete! To see this jump in
technology in such a short time (relatively) is astounding and really makes one
think on how far we will go as the human race in another 13 years.
