This day 10 years ago, iPhone was born

Jobs made the world reel from the iPhone when it was launched, which quickly became the world's most popular electronics device after 10 years.

The moment Steve Jobs launched the iPhone in 2007: Apple released the iPhone on January 9, 2007, it forever changed the smartphone market, becoming a cultural phenomenon.

iPhone is a revolution, hard to remember how life was when it didn't exist, Mashable said.

Apple is not a big man 10 years ago. At that time, the Mac was just a small name in the computer village; smartphone is Apple's dream, the mobile market is occupied by BlackBerry, Palm, Microsoft and Nokia.

Apple released the iPhone on January 9, 2007, it forever changed the smartphone market.

However, Steve Jobs was able to prove its ability to control the market before 2007. The iPod devastated the music player market (and perhaps the music industry), opening up new areas for devices. pocket.

Before the iPhone, many devices had touch screens, but they all owned a hard keyboard. The screen may occasionally be used to select, surf, but complicated operation is done by small plastic keyboards.

Even gaming requires buttons, BlackBerry even has a trackball, and the Palm Trio 700p has a stylus.

However, the first generation iPhone is not a device that makes the market chaotic. It is expensive from 499-599 USD, only sold by AT&T operator, no keyboard. Apple at that time had no experience in the smartphone segment and even got involved in many lawsuits to keep the iPhone name.

Secret weapon

The first iPhone is literally Apple's secret weapon. When he first debuted in 2007, Steve Jobs forced users to wait exactly one month to touch them. In that month, the beautiful, mysterious iPhone became the most talked about topic.

Before a few days on the shelf, Steve Jobs sent the iPhone to a few lucky journalists. They immediately went crazy because of this device, even though they had to keep it a secret, the words about the device leaked out.

Many journalists, like Lance Ulanoff from Mashable, wrote detailed hand-written articles with only 10 minutes of device exposure (posted on PC Magazine at the time). It was so hot a topic that every article about it was quickly posted and picked up.

"Touch your hand once, iPhone changes your whole life," he said. iPhone belongs to the few products that meet user expectations, as well as keep the manufacturer's promise. It is more beautiful, sensitive, more useful than any other rival of the time.

"I struggled with the virtual keyboard, but I know the error comes from me, not the device. The smartphone village will forever change," Lance said.

iPhone is a bullet through the heart of BlackBerry, Nokia and Microsoft. It is a wound that never heals. BlackBerry fiddled with the button, the screen with Storm. Microsoft does not catch up. While Nokia, the prince is always proud of the last creativity collapsed for stomping for too long.

Tank

The iPhone not only kills opponents, it kills all phone categories.

In 2007, the iPhone had a 2 MP camera. In 2010, it had two, 5 MP rear cameras that allowed HD video recording. From the beginning, users got used to the iPhone camera, because it appeared at the same time as the social network fever.

The point-and-shoot cameras died quickly after that, and they shared a huge number of photos on social networks.

The first iPhone also performed enough iPod functionality, replacing the music player after having sold millions of devices.

Along with social networking, gaming on mobile also exploded, at that time, Samsung was ahead quite far in this area with big screen, big speaker, vibration sensor.

But then the App Store appears and changes everything, before that users had to be very miserable to download games and applications to their phones.

Ups and downs

The beginning of the iPhone is very arduous. It took nearly four years for the iPhone to expand to the next network, leaving open for Google and Android. Until now, the number of Android devices is still many times higher than that of iPhones worldwide.

When restructuring the iPhone, eliminating most curves and antennas, Apple had a series of scandals like antenna gate, prompting Steve Jobs to make a rare apology (after accusing the user of the wrong way).

Steve Jobs died on October 5, 2011, just a few days before the iPhone 4S was released. There are very few leaders who have tied their lives to the product, so it was impossible to imagine what the iPhone would be without Jobs.

That worry remains today.

Ten more years

It is difficult to recount 10 years of improvement, business and change the whole culture of iPhone in an article.

The iPhone has changed our perception of mobile, through its improvements and applications, which has changed a lot of people 's lives.

Not only Apple has this ability. Without an iPhone, someone else will replace it. The problem is, no one can do that before the iPhone. Perhaps they don't have Steve Jobs, maybe they don't have the vision of the discrete parts of the last life reassembling into a miracle.

Does the iPhone still have enough power to write 10 more glorious years?(Photo: TechWorm).

Currently, new smartphones are either faint versions of the iPhone, or inherit the legacy that the iPhone is creating.

The next ten years will certainly be different from the first ten years. The world has changed, and Apple will have to change to continue improving what they have. The iPhone's most glorious days may have been behind, but also, waiting for them ahead.

10 years has passed, Tim Cook will still step on stage with a silver jean, white sneakers, black turtleneck shirt. But apart from looks, does the successor repeat the success of Steve Jobs 10 years ago - revolutionizing the technology village again?
