Day iPhone Birthday: 6 things that gave us the first smartphone Apple
Makradar Ios / / December 21, 2019
June 29, 2007 was publicly presented the first iPhone. Over the 6 years of the telephone industry has come a long way - from the "clamshell" with buttons to glass plates with a great operating system. Whether you are a fan of Apple or not, you can not deny the fact that the precursors iPhone's software plan is a dreadful thing, which is not desired and the enemy. It would not be an exaggeration to say that if Apple has not released the iPhone 6 years ago today, Google and Microsoft phones would look much different. What else is new has brought us the iPhone?
1. User-friendly interface for communication functions
Remember the endless clicking on the same button on the keyboard to, for example, a conference call or put the current call on hold? See giant button «merge calls» (Russian language then was not in sight) was like to see the gates of paradise. Headphone jack! Use your favorite headphones on the phone was such an obvious solution, but before the iPhone such a possibility did not give any manufacturer (and many do not give up and still do).
2. SMS in a chat
It would seem a trifle. First had to navigate through the individual messages, go to the next level, choose the right, to enter into it, read on... Why do not substitute chat function look like a chat? Not the fact that Apple did it first, but she did it beautifully! No more "out of memory" after receiving a couple of hundred SMS.
3. App Store
It seems incredible that the first iPhone 6 years ago there was not a hint of support for third-party applications. A big success for Apple was the SDK release in 2008. In this case, they are absolutely strict conditions brought by developers ( "applications should be issued only in our official store and only on our terms "), seemed at first somewhat archaic and recalls the conditions for the Mac-developers in the '80s respectively. Meanwhile, the developers have taken these conditions and potential iPhone is not just opened, but has become almost limitless. However, Apple has created a new technology, "Gold Rush" - even televisions now have an application.
4. Touch screen, which is really easy to work
Apple showed the world how to be a running operating system, controlled with your fingers rather than a stylus. C capacitive screen - not created, but popularized Apple, iPhone suddenly became a device "essentials." For all the fans of "iron" Jobs buttons specifically explained at the launch 6 years ago, that the emergence of a new feature or application can not simply add a new button on the device, which is already Sales. But virtual buttons can add as much as necessary - with a variety of shapes and types. Thus, consumers appeared a mobile device that is not turned into a "pumpkin" after the emergence of a new line of devices.
5. The computer in your pocket for each
We can call the iPhone, but the smartphones these days are much larger. Mobile internet in the old days was a parody of a big brother, and today Facebook mobile traffic exceeds desktop. Use of the Internet in many cases becomes more comfortable and smooth it to the mobile device.
6. Most importantly - a reflection of the Future
Probably, it sounds trite cliché, but it's true. Jobs said in his presentation, iPhone 6 years ago, that their device for 5 years ahead of the competition - and it was true. While many awaited the appearance of iPhone, no one can predict what will be shown on the day the public. Less than 6 years, Apple has changed the concept of the phone itself. Suppose that we can not predict exactly what amazing technology await us after 6 years, looking back, We are looking with a smile at how amazed we presented in 2007 PDA with a touchscreen on Apple.
