HE Apple iPhone comes of age. Exactly 18 years ago, Steve Jobs took the stage at the Moscone Center in San Francisco, California during the Macworld Conference & Expo to revolutionize the world. “Today Apple will reinvent the phone.” Few believed it at the time, but 18 years later no one can deny Apple’s contribution to the world of phones.

The original iPhone’s presentation keynote, Most remembered Apple events. A key moment in the company’s success, which has seen it become the most valuable technology company in the world. Today, just as the world cannot be understood without a smartphone, Apple cannot be understood without an iPhone.

This is the day I’ve been waiting for two and a half years. Every now and then a revolutionary product comes along that changes everything, and you can count yourself very lucky if you get to work on just one of those products in your career. Apple is very lucky because it managed to introduce some of these devices to the world.

An already mature revolution called iPhone

How was it possible to have a device that was only available in certain phone companies at that time, that could not install applications, that did not have a 3G connection, that did not have a front camera, and whose rear camera could not record videos? Also the battery only lasted a day will completely revolutionize the industry.

switch The success of the iPhone lay in its forward-thinking concept. Apple understood that touchscreens could transform interaction with mobile devices, eliminating the need for physical buttons and taking a completely new approach.

But it wasn’t just about the introduction of a touchscreen, It was necessary to create a completely different operating system to what existed at that time. Apple designed iPhone and iOS from the ground up, combining simplicity, elegance and a user experience like no other.

The presentation of the original iPhone was one of the most important moments for Apple

The iPhone’s design was another of its strong points. Its screen was huge for the time, something Steve Jobs was forced to replace after the presentation, but the intuitive touch control format was just as important. An experience that seems ahead of its time. Despite its initial limitations, the iPhone has emerged as something completely unique, managing to impress both users and the industry.

Over time, Apple addressed the original model’s shortcomings by adding apps, improved connectivity, and better cameras. However, the success of the iPhone was not based on the technical features of the moment, the ability to redefine what a mobile phone can be. This was the starting point of a market transformation that is now in its 18th year.

I say this very clearly, If it weren’t for the iPhone, I wouldn’t be writing these lines right now.. I remember feeling like I was in the future when I first saw the original iPhone, and that I would never see my 2007 phone the same way. It took me four years to get one, but since then it has been the smartphone I use to this day. It seems incredible that 18 years have passed.
