The History of iPhone

iPhone is one of the best smartphone ever made in this day by Apple.

The history of the iPhone line of phones began with Steve Jobs' direction that Apple Inc. engineers investigate touch-screens. At the time he had been considering having Apple work on tablet PCs, which later came to fruition with the iPad.Many have noted the device's similarities to Apple's previous touch-screen portable device, the Newton MessagePad. Like the Newton, the iPhone is nearly all screen. Its form factor is credited to Apple's head of design, Jonathan Ive.

At that time he had been considering having Apple work on tablet PCs. Like Newton MessagePad, the iPhone is nearly all screen.

In January 2007, Apple turned the smartphone upside down when it officially announced the 1st generation iPhone.

The 1st generation iPhone connected to a wireless network and applications were delivered to the user over the mobile version of Safari.                          
              
The first iPhone was referred to as the 2G. The 2G iPhone was capable of using the second-generation cellular network Edge. The Apple 2G iPhone was first released with 4G of internal storage and then released in September 2007 with 8GB and 16GB versions.

According to Steve Jobs,” "The quality and the sophistication of the applications you can write for the iPhone is in a different class," which he thinks should help the iPhone succeed where his line of Mac computers failed against Windows PC.

By releasing this new generation of iPhone Steve Jobs will be making an attempt to dominate the next generation of computing as it moves toward internet-connected mobile devices.

Third generation (3G) phones were the first to cross a telephone and a handheld computer, with a built –in web browser and e-mail service.

3G networks boast broadband transmission speeds of 1-3 million bits per second, enough to send full color motion pictures through the phone.

It also will offer more than 500 software applications, including games, educational programs, mobile commerce and business productivity tools, may be a far more important development than the iPhone 3G, which goes on sale at the same time.

Apple had a history of trials an failures until the release of the iPhone, which is the phone that actually changed the mobile phone game.
