On this date, 17 years ago, Steve Jobs and Apple changed the world،
17 years ago today, Steve Jobs introduced the device that changed the world, the iPhone
Not that the original iPhone is perfect. Instead of 3G, he used EDGE, AT&T's slow-as-molasses cell service. There was also no copy and paste, or MMS to send video; hell, there was no way to shoot video on the OG iPhone. One problem, thanks to EDGE, was that you couldn't receive a phone call when using the browser. Of course, all of these flaws were eventually fixed, with the iPhone getting 3G connectivity the very next year.
Not what Steve Jobs what was said on this date 17 years ago was not hyperbole; The OG iPhone was a revolutionary product, and Mr. Jobs' presentation that day showed us why the smartphone would quickly become the most important device we carry. Today's phones not only allow you to make phone calls and video chats, but they can also save your life, automatically call for help when you need it, and tell you how to get from the point ” A” to point “B” quickly and safely.
Of course, there have been some downsides such as security issues, malware, smartphone addiction, and privacy concerns. But overall, 17 years later, the OG iPhone has proven to be exactly what Steve Jobs said it was – and then some. The iPhone has become a revolutionary product that continues to improve every year.
