Although this event occurred a mere seven years ago, it completely changed the mobile phone industry in a huge and meaningful way that we still experience to this day.
On January 9, 2007, Apple introduced iPhone, combining three products-a revolutionary mobile phone, a widescreen iPod® with touch controls, and a breakthrough Internet communications device with desktop-class email, web browsing, searching and maps-into one small and lightweight handheld device.
iPhone introduces an entirely new user interface based on a large multi-touch display and pioneering new software, letting users control iPhone with just their fingers. iPhone also ushers in an era of software power and sophistication never before seen in a mobile device, which completely redefines what users can do on their mobile phones, according to a Apple press release Jan. 9, 2007.
Apple's CEO, the late Steve Jobs said on this day, 'iPhone is a revolutionary and magical product that is literally five years ahead of any other mobile phone. We are all born with the ultimate pointing device-our fingers-and iPhone uses them to create the most revolutionary user interface since the mouse.'
The 3.5″ widescreen display, it's pioneering Visual Voicemail and a 2 megapixel camera and a photo management application that was far beyond anything on a phone at that time, are just a few of the features that made the iPhone 'revolutionary and magical'.
The 2007 iPhone led the way to the cellular phone's of 2014, which are essentially a full office, entertainment and communication devices that can be kept in your pocket.
