Let’s go back to 2007. The year the first iPhone was introduced…
When the calendars showed the year 2007, there was a development that attracted the attention of the whole world. Steve Jobs officially introduced the first iPhone model, and this smartphone is considered the beginning of a new era for the industry. The first generation iPhone, which is too primitive for today’s conditions, was the product of at least 2 years of work at that time.
In 2005, Jobs came up with the idea of a computer with a touchscreen, without the need for a keyboard and mouse. Parallel to this, the idea of a touch screen phone developed, and as a result of the studies, we were able to meet the first iPhone. One of the most important phrases of Jobs, who started the launch event, was “Apple reinvented the phone.” was the expression. As a matter of fact, it really was.
Steve Jobs, for cell phones, “Those little plastic keyboard things.” he was talking about
Apple CEO, who made remarkable breakthroughs at the launch of the first iPhone, had a very tough stance for traditional mobile phones. Jobs even called cell phones “Those little plastic keyboard things.” he says, despising those devices. Moreover, according to Jobs, keyboards were quite unnecessary. Saying that 40 percent of phones are occupied by keyboards, Jobs said, “They’re there whether you need them or not.” he said. Moreover, since all the space is filled, making changes on a mobile phone; for example it was not possible to add a new key or functionality. As a result of all this, the first iPhone with a screen that allows multiple touches at the same time was produced.
