The very first iPhone was released 10 years ago today!
Ten years ago today, June 29 2007, the very first iPhone hit stores in the US and everything changed. It was a milestone in the history of computing. Apple sold a million devices in just over two months.
10 years ago today, the world changed...
Did you know the first iPhone didn't even had an app store? For more than a year, until iPhone OS 2 came out in July 2008, there was no store to download and install new apps. The first iPhone was originally released with just 15 native apps, not even enough to fill the home screen. Apple was convinced "webapps" (single-serve websites, which could be saved to the home screen) were the future. Besides the lack of an app store, the device lacked 3G connectivity, the camera resolution was just two megapixels and its battery struggled to last a day.

And yet, Apple sold a million devices in just over 2 months. It wasn't because it was the first "smartphone" or the first phone with a camera. The iPhone just did what it said it would do, in a simple, easy manner. While most other phones had physical buttons back then, Apple’s touch interface made things much simpler. Right from the start, the iPhone had a full-colour, multi-touch screen and it had the same basic interface which is still in use today.

For every dollar you had invested in Apple back then, your stake would now be worth $8.44, not including reinvested dividends. Unfortunately, I've missed that opportunity.
Happy 10th Birthday iPhone!
So this trend icon started 10 years ago. I never got an iphone due to its high price though but now I am looking to have iphone 8.

Wow, I can't believe it was that long ago, I was still in love with my Blackberry then, now I'm a Samsung fan as the cameras are so good.
10 years already - time really flies by!!! I remember the day when a office mate brought the first iPhone to the office! :)
Thus died the human memory...
One of the greatest achievments in popular technology. Remember those phones before iPhone, nothing compared to iPhone. But true revolution started with iPhone 4, it was amazing. I still have couple of them in my box and many people still use it. Awesome phone.
I remember when the I-phone came out, I was still trying to get Bluetooth Internet with a crappy phone on my laptop lol.
I was like YESSS, I CAN FINALLY TETHER WITH I-phone!
Good old times :)
