A 15-year revolution that not everyone knows to see

On June 29, 2007, the original iPhone went on sale in the US, it was the first iPhone model and did not launch worldwide. this price started at $499 and $599, depending on whether you prefer the 4GB or 8GB version.

Jobs promoting the original iPhone

However, there has been a major concept change. Starting with the original iPhone, mobile devices They ceased to be like they were going to imitate the concept of the Apple device. A revolution that started 15 years ago.

At that time, especially the reactions from the competition, they mostly failed. While brands like Samsung or Google quickly noticed and changed their design and operating system to something similar to the iPhone, the leaders of the moment failed to see the revolution coming.

Market leader Nokia has maintained its roadmap and it took over a year to launch its first touchscreen smartphone, meanwhile, premiered in Spain. Having a strong influence on business smartphones, Microsoft laughed at the iPhone and claimed: Apple would never have had a significant market share with the iPhone. A few years later, Windows became unusable on mobile platforms.

And more users did not take the device enthusiastically either.By examining opinions from different tech sites covering news, we can find comments such as:

“No one realizes how bad an idea a touchscreen is on a phone. Here I foresee some very clear and very important problems. I will keep my Samsung A707, thanks“.

“Buttons on the touchscreen? Bad idea. this thing will never work“.

“I’m not impressed with the iPhone. As a PDA user and a Windows Mobile user, this thing has nothing that I don’t have on my phone. I’m sure it’s fine for its design purpose, a phone that entertains and speaks… other than that I don’t see much potential. How can I quote on the phone without a pen or keyboard ?!“

“It doesn’t work Stevie doesn’t like typing without touching people it’s a simple fact this isn’t a phone this is a mac pda wow yippie… So it looks nice but it’s not what I envision as the next iPod in the phone industry. ..“

of course not all negative comments Some of the users, who do not know how to see that the future has come that day, welcomed the iPhone with open arms:

“HELLO WORLD! WELCOME TO THE FUTURE!“

“Thanks… now all my money goes to Apple“.

It is assumed that Apple sold 1.9 million iPhones in 2007Even though the iPhone is arriving at the end of June, the sales figures are absolutely gorgeous for a device that’s almost twice the size of its rivals, even if it’s a frankly superior device.
