The iPhone[5] (retroactively referred to as the iPhone 2G[6] or iPhone 1[7]) is the first iPhone model and the first smartphone developed and marketed by Apple Inc. After years of rumors and speculation, it was officially announced on January 9, 2007,[8] and was released in the United States on June 29, 2007.
Development of the iPhone began in 2005 and continued in complete secrecy until its public unveiling at Macworld 2007. The device broke with prevailing mobile phone designs by eliminating most physical hardware buttons and eschewing a stylus for its finger-friendly touch interface. The iPhone instead featured only a few physical buttons and a touch screen. It featured quad-bandGSM cellular connectivity with GPRS and EDGE support for data transfer, and it used continuous internet access and onboard processing to support features unrelated to voice communication. Its successor, the iPhone 3G, was announced on June 9, 2008.
The iPhone quickly became Apple's most successful product, with later generations propelling it to become one of the world's most profitable companies.[9] The introduction of the App Store allowed established companies and startup developers to build careers and earn money, via the platform, while providing consumers with new ways to access information and connect with other people.[10] The iPhone largely appealed to the general public, as opposed to the business community BlackBerry and IBM focused on at the time. By integrating existing technology and expanding on usability, the iPhone turned the smartphone industry "on its head".[11]
In 2000, Apple CEO Steve Jobs envisioned an Apple touchscreen product that the user could interact with directly with their fingers rather than using a stylus.[citation needed] The stylus was a common tool for many existing touchscreen devices at the time including Apple's own Newton, launched in 1993. He decided that the device would require a triple layered capacitivemulti-touchtouch screen, a very new and advanced technology at the time. This helped with removing the physical keyboard and mouse. The same as was common at the time for tablet computers, human machine interfaces, and point of sale systems. Jobs recruited a group of Apple engineers to investigate the idea as a side project.[12] When Jobs reviewed the prototype and its user interface, he saw the potential in developing the concept into a mobile phone to compete with already established brands in the then emerging market for touch screen phones.[13] The whole effort was called Project Purple 2 and began in 2005.[14] Apple purchased the "iphone.org" domain in December 1999.[15]
Apple created the device during a secretive and unprecedented collaboration with Cingular Wireless, now part of AT&T. The development cost of the collaboration was estimated to have been $150 million[16] over a thirty-month period. Apple rejected the "design by committee" approach that had yielded the Motorola ROKR E1, a largely unsuccessful collaboration with Motorola. Instead, Cingular Wireless gave Apple the liberty to develop the iPhone's hardware and software in-house.[17][18] The original iPhone was introduced by Steve Jobs on January 9, 2007, in a keynote address at the Macworld Conference & Expo held in Moscone West in San Francisco, California.[12] In his address, Jobs said, "This is a day that I have been looking forward to for two and a half years," and that "today, Apple is going to reinvent the phone".[19] Jobs introduced the iPhone as a combination of three devices: a "widescreen iPod with touch controls"; a "revolutionary mobile phone"; and a "breakthrough Internet communicator."[20]
Six weeks prior to the iPhone's release, the plastic screen was replaced with glass. This was after Jobs was upset when he saw that his keys scratched the prototype in his pocket. The quick switch led to a bidding process for a manufacturing contractor that was won by Foxconn, which had just opened up a new wing of its Shenzhen factory complex specifically for this bid.[21]
Release
Six out of ten Americans surveyed said they knew before its release that the iPhone was coming.[22] The iPhone was released in the United States on June 29, 2007, at the price of $499 for the 4 GB model and $599 for the 8 GB model, both requiring a 2-year contract.[12] Thousands of people were reported to have waited outside Apple and AT&T retail stores days before the device's launch;[23] many stores reported stock shortages within an hour of availability.[24][22]
Sales to the European market started in November 2007,[25] first in Germany, followed by Britain and then France.[26] Reports suggested that these launches were met with less enthusiasm.[27] In France it was sold by Orange for 649 euros.[28] The iPhone was released in Austria and the Republic of Ireland on March 13, 2008.[29][30]
In Canada, Rogers Wireless announced in April 2008 that a deal was reached with Apple to bring the iPhone to the Canadian market.[31] The original iPhone was eventually not released in Canada in favor of the second-generation iPhone 3G.[32]
In July 2023, an unopened, first edition model of the 2007 iPhone was sold at auction in the US for $190,372.80, nearly 400 times the original price. [37][relevant?]
Price drops and revisions
The iPod Touch, a touchscreen device with the media and internet abilities and interface of the iPhone but without the ability to connect to a cellular network for phone functions or internet access, was released on September 5, 2007. At the same time, Apple significantly dropped the price of the iPhone 8 GB model from $599 to $399 (still requiring a 2-year contract with AT&T) while discontinuing the $499 4 GB model.[38] After receiving "hundreds of emails" upset about the price drop, Apple gave a $100 store credit to early adopters.[39]
A 16 GB model was released on February 5, 2008, for $499, the original launch price of the 4 GB model.[40] Apple released an SDK on March 6, 2008, allowing developers to create the apps that would be available starting in iPhone OS version 2.0, a free upgrade for iPhone users. On June 9, Apple announced the iPhone 3G, which began shipping July 11,[41] with the original iPhone discontinued four days later.
Sales
In its first week, Apple had sold 270,000 iPhones domestically.[42] Apple sold the one millionth iPhone 74 days after the release.[43] Apple reported in January 2008 that four million were sold.[44] As of Q4 2007, strong iPhone sales put Apple no. 2 in U.S. smartphone vendors, behind Research In Motion and ahead of all Windows Mobile vendors.[45]
Compared to the United States,[27][47] European sales were "sluggish".[48] Although Apple partners called its British weekend launch successful, The Register called it a "flop".[49] According to an analyst, iPhone per-capita sales were one quarter that of the United States[50] and it was reportedly outsold by LG Viewty.[51] In France, the device had reportedly sold 30,000 units in its first week,[28] which was three times as many that were sold in Germany numbering 10,000.[42][52]
The original iPhone was discontinued on July 15, 2008; total sales volume came to 6,124,000 units.[citation needed]
Critical reception
The original iPhone received largely positive reviews. Only four writers were given review models of the original iPhone:[53][54]David Pogue of The New York Times,[55]Walt Mossberg of The Wall Street Journal,[56]Steven Levy of Newsweek,[57] and Ed Baig of USA Today.[58]The New York Times and The Wall Street Journal published positive, but cautious, reviews of the iPhone, their primary criticisms being the relatively slow speed of the AT&T's 2.5G EDGE network and the phone's inability to connect using 3G services. The Wall Street Journal's technology columnist, Walt Mossberg, concluded that "despite some flaws and feature omissions, the iPhone is, on balance, a beautiful and breakthrough handheld computer."[59]Time magazine named it the Invention of the Year in 2007.[60] UK-based Mobile Gazette wrote that "Although it has many good points, the list of bad points is equally impressive." It also added "Although the iPhone sold well in the US, when it finally hit Europe sales were not as high as expected, to an extent because European consumers could understand the drawbacks due to a more competitive marketplace."[61]
Hardware
External hardware (screens, materials, etc)
The iPhone's back cover is made out of aluminum, a soft metal.[62] The iPhone's screen is a 320×480-resolution LCD screen at 163ppi that measures about 3.5 inches diagonally, much bigger than most other phones at the time, and the iPhone was the first mobile phone with multi-touch technology. The rear camera on the iPhone has a resolution of 2 megapixels and also features geotagging. The iPhone has four total buttons and a single switch: a power and sleep button, a volume up and volume down button, a silent/ringer switch, and a home button positioned in the bottom center of the face of the phone. The home button, when pressed, would send the user back to the home screen from whatever app they were currently using.
At the time of its unveiling in January, Steve Jobs claimed: "iPhone runs OS X" and runs "desktop-class applications",[66][67] but at the time of the iPhone's release, the operating system was renamed "iPhone OS".[68]
The original iPhone supported three major versions of the operating system before it was discontinued: iPhone OS 1, 2, and 3. The last update the original iPhone received was iPhone OS 3.1.3, as iPhone OS 3.2 was intended for the iPad.
The original operating system for the original iPhone, iPhone OS 1, featured Visual Voicemail, multi-touch gestures, HTML email, Apple's Safari web browser, threadedtext messaging, an "iPod" music and video player app, a dedicated YouTubeapp and a Maps app powered by Google Maps. It also included basic Phone/contacts, Calendar, Photos, Stocks, Weather, Clock, Calculator, Notes, and Settings apps. However, many features like MMS, apps, and copy and paste were not supported at release, leading hackers to jailbreak their phones to add these features. Software updates from Apple gradually added these functions.
A v1.1 update alongside the introduction of the iPod Touch in September 2007 included an iTunes Store app that was the first new app to be added to the system.
iPhone OS 3 was released on June 17, 2009, alongside the iPhone 3GS, and introduced a copy and paste functionality, Spotlight search for the home screen, and new features for the YouTube app. iPhone OS 3 was available for the original iPhone as well as the iPhone 3G and 3GS. However, not all features of iPhone OS 3 (such as MMS in the Messages app) were supported on the original iPhone.
iPhone OS 3.1.3 was the last version of iPhone OS (now iOS) to be released for the phone in February 2010, which never got the full iPhone OS 3 feature set because iPhone OS 3.2 was intended for the iPad.
Almost all apps released after the release of iOS 6 in late September 2012 do not run on the original iPhone, as the software development kit (SDK) was changed to no longer allow the "targeting" (minimum) of iOS versions older than 4.3 (including 3.x), or ARMv6 devices (first two generations).
