| Steve Jobs with an iPhone |
Just about 7 years ago, Steve Jobs introduced the world to the “iPhone”.
“This is a day I have been looking forward to for two and a half years. Every once in a while, a revolutionary product comes along, that changes everything.”…In 1984, we introduced the Macintosh…In 2001, we introduced the first iPod…Well, today, we are introducing 3 revolutionary products of this class. This 1st one is a wide screen iPod with touch controls, the 2nd is a revolutionary mobile phone and the 3rd is a breakthrough internet communications device…these are not 3 separate devices, this is one device and we are calling it, iPhone.”
