It just turned eight years of one of the most important moments in the history of technology: the presentation of the first iPhone. Some time ago we talked about how the iPhone 5 had marked a before and after in the history , but this time let's talk about the first generation, with which Apple began to take the first steps to success.
The June 29, 2007 Apple released the original iPhone with an elegant design and revolutionary multi-touch screen, disrupting an industry that until then was dominated by companies such as Sony, Motorola, Blackberry and Nokia. With the original iPhone, the US company created the smartphone market, which since then has not stopped growing.
Moreover, it is noteworthy that Apple introduced the original iPhone to the world as a single device that allowed the user to call, listen to music as if it were an iPod and surf the Internet. Then, on the occasion of his eighth birthday, we'll see more about this first generation iPhone.
Interesting about the original iPhone
Many of you may not know or do not remember after all this time, but the original iPhone was first launched in the US exclusively through AT & T company. Subsequently, users in the UK, France, Portugal, Germany, Ireland and Austria also had access to the first iPhone, but that did not happen until November 2007.
With regard to price, I must say that the original 8GB iPhone was released for $ 599 with two year contract with the operator (AT & T). Later, in September of that same year Apple lowered the price to $ 399, a starting price much more expensive than they have today, of $ 199.
As mentioned above, Apple began the smartphone market with the iPhone in 2007. Since then, many manufacturers decided to launch similar devices, creating a really huge market with hundreds of models to choose from.
IPhone eighth anniversary coincides with the launch of Apple Music
As the guys say MacRumors , is quite curious to see how the eighth anniversary of the launch of the original iPhone came a day before the world premiere of Apple Music, another major release of the company that could be historic. And the guys at Cupertino have put all eggs in one basket with its new streaming music service .
With Apple entering the market Music music streaming to compete with other highly successful services like Spotify, Google Play Music or Pandora, among others.
In addition, another curiosity is surely many users try for the first time by Apple Music iPhone. Is it a coincidence or Apple wanted this match to occur?
Since 2007 Apple has until our days launched 10 models of iPhone, from the original to the current iPhone 6 and 6 Plus. Today they have managed to sell hundreds of millions of smartphone units worldwide, a figure expected to keep rising.
