iPod, iPhone history

approximately a decade there has been no product that has been able to change our lives as it was the iPhone , that first generation in 2007. the iPhone marked the beginning of a new stage with the Smartphone , forever changed the way we entertain, access information, travel and connect with the world, etc. That is why, perhaps, not again see a technological product that changes the world as quickly and deeply.

Talking about the first iPhone, a very interesting about creating iPhone point is that one of the first prototypes of the iPhone was a iPod function with cellular connectivity, with an engineer in charge of it worked.

it all started with a “ iPod Phone “, with which they had obtained their first prototype. This retained the appearance of the iPod, but inside it was a module of a cell. The surprise for the company is that, although it looked like an iPod and inside it had a phone.

Supposedly prototype of what would be the iPod Phone.

you could select numbers through the same interface , but if you wanted to dial a number was like using a rotary knob, It looked as if returned in time! Steve Jobs was not quite agree with what they had achieved; they delayed about seven or eight months to get the “iPod Phone” could function as it should, but the challenge was complicated at the time able to obtain buttons more on the device, thus having a iPhone without grace and elegance ; Jobs did not like the final product.

Although, after this failure is where things get interesting. Apple, while the project of the iPhone, was toying with the idea of ​​providing the market a Mac with touch screen. But over time, Apple realized that it could implement technology touch screen that was exploring for the Mac in its ambitious project, his own phone.

immediately realized what they were for creating and needed a virtual interface moving the phone. The first thing you thought was to make interface with a touch of Mac OS , although they had the idea that it would work but were not going to perform in the quest to create a phone.

” The ping-pong “. touch screen that Steve Jobs showed off their workers as an example.

The history of the iPhone screen was a screen the size of a ping-pong , he had projected Mac OS system and could interact with the ping-pong, which surprised their workers. After this surprise was decided that it should have the iPod to create your iPod Phone.

Without further ado, further clarify the idea of ​​what they wanted, needed and wanted , they set assemble your phone with touch screen, making it the first company to have a phone with a touch screen.

iPhone, the first generation of the series.

Although they had in mind to put a touch screen on the Mac or create a tablet , ended it by making a 3.5 inch screen to bring it into the first smart phone.

once they realized their project, they gave the name iPhone, and immediately associated with AT & T (after rejections from companies such as Verizon and T-Mobile ) to distribute its new terminal touch. And subsequent to this act, we find the presentation of the iPhone in 2007.

Google, HTC, Motorola, Microsoft , among others companies followed this new mobile trend, gave life to their markets with the touch screen, created operating systems and each went their respective path, growing rapidly in this technological sector.

Perhaps, 9 years after their launch, Apple’s iPhone continues to innovate not as it was in its glory years, but it’s amazing how today stands as an incredible example of value engineering. Supo get to stay , and despite the loss of its inventor, Steve Jobs , the current CEO of Apple, Tim Cook , kept the knowledge to support the iPhone at the forefront and top of the range mobile despite stiff competition.
