The Evolution of iPhone from 2007 to 2022

The Evolution of iPhone from 2007 to 2022

Steve Jobs one idea brought the revolution to the communication world in the shape of a smartphone. In 2007, Steve Jobs left a mark on the world when he revealed Apple's most memorable iPhone to the world. Besides the fact that it had the best elements that might actually be put inside the equipment, yet the iPhone totally reformed the importance of what a cell phone could be. Before its initiation, the current telephones available were driven by the Nokia 1200, an essential telephone with an actual console and a 1.5-inch show, sufficient to accept and get calls. Nobody might have expected the effect of the first iPhone in pushing the business forward.

The Apple legacy started on 29 June 2007 when the first-ever iPhone was launched. The touchscreen phone! 16 GB is all you could put on the original iPhone first model? Granted, there wasn’t nearly as much data to put on the iPhone yet and certainly no App Store, And it could only handle 128 MB of memory. The camera was 2.0 megapixels.

In the first year of iPhone history, there were extremely high levels of customer satisfaction, as well as figures that showed people really were using the phone in the way it was meant to be used, i.e. people were using it for email, web browsing, and calling/texting. This was the first phone which supports 3G.

The Retina display became HD, and the option to get an iPhone with 128 GB of storage became available. But the amount of memory was the same, and the camera didn't see a megapixel upgrade. But it didn't matter—Apple sold 10 million units in the first week.
