10 Years Ago: Apple Reveals the World’s First iPhone

10 Years Ago: Apple Reveals the World’s First iPhone

Remember the OG iPhone?

It’s been a decade since the big reveal

Back in 2007, Apple dropped a little gadget that changed the world—and made everyone’s pockets a little lighter. Since then, the company has sold over one billion of those sleek phones.

What’s the buzz?

  • Apple’s market cap has swelled to a jaw‑dropping £515 billion.
  • There’ve been 11 new iPhone models since the original—each one a mix of “wow” and “wait, you’re still missing a headphone jack?”
  • Design debates erupted: skinny screens vs. chunky beauty, tiny buttons vs. full‑touch worlds.

Apple’s Sidekick: The App Store

With the app market kicking off in 2008, developers suddenly found a goldmine. Remember Angry Birds? WhatsApp? Uber? All of them were born on this platform and turned inventors into millionaires.

Tech & Features to Celebrate

  • Voice‑activated Siri that can be your personal hype‑bot.
  • Touch ID that makes paper keys feel ancient.
  • A turbo‑charged 64‑bit processor that can juggle tasks like a circus performer.

What’s Next?

Rumours are swirling that the sleekest iPhone yet will drop in September. Reports suggest it’ll sport a screen that practically covers the whole device—almost like a windowless spaceship.
