Рет қаралды 70,852
Жыл бұрынThe first iPhone hit store shelves on June 29, 2007. CBS News was able to test a model two days before the release. "You zoom in or zoom out by pinching or unpinching with your fingers," CBS News' David Pogue said at the time.

This was a phone only rich people could afford. Back in the day, almost all the people I knew had Samsung, Nokia and Blackberry. I loved my My BlackBerry! I still have it and it works. Nokia and Samsung were really good. Only one person I worked with had one. No one else out of hundreds of people.
@closeenoughmechanics 7 ай бұрын
It was an illusion of affordability that followed from cell service providers. Remember the $200 with a 2 year contract iPhones? Yeah….. the cost of the phone was subsidized in your bill. So your down payment was $200, thus, appearing more affordable.

Jim Balsillie, the co-chief executive and co-chairmen of Research In Motion (RIM), on iPhone in 2007: "As nice as the Apple iPhone is, it poses a real challenge to its users. Try typing a web key on a touchscreen on an Apple iPhone, that's a real challenge. You cannot see what you type." “There’s no chance that the iPhone is going to get any significant market share. No chance. It’s a $500 subsidized item,” said then-Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer. Apple sold over 1.4 million iPhones resulting in a revenue of $630 million, in 2007. Rest is history.

I remember following the coverage of the launch back in January 2007 on Macrumors using my GPRS modem hooked up to my Windows XP machine. Broke, father died a few months earlier, didn't know where my life is going. I'm here and I have been able to buy some of Apple's most expensive gadgets over the past 10 years; gadgets I could only dream of owning. I would love to own a Vision Pro, but I think that money is better invested in the stock and saving for my future. Just like the first iPhone there will be cheaper and faster versions.

Not blaming iPhones only, Facebook, Instagram, Tiktok. All of them. Gone are the days of going to Blockbuster all excited to pick a video game and a movie. Same goes for Movie theaters, GameStop…it’ll most likely get worse than this in 20 years time.
