It is not an exaggeration to say that smartphones were led by Apple , but many people knew little about Steve Jobs and the first generation iPhone at that time. In particular, June 30 (June 29, North American time) is an extremely important day for iPhone and Apple.
Why do you say this? Because 15 years ago today, the first-generation iPhone was officially released. The phone was officially released on January 9, 2007. At that time, Jobs said that it was an iPods, a phone, and an Internet mobile communication device. They were not three independent devices, it was the iPhone. Today apple will reinvent the mobile phone.
It is true that the genius Steve Jobs integrated iPod, phone, mobile Internet device , etc. into one iPhone. At that time, the release of the first-generation iPhone immediately caused global madness, but the release date was June 29. Information shows that the price of this phone at that time was about 3,300 yuan, and 1 million units were sold within seven days of its launch. At that time, people queuing up overnight to buy it were from this iPhone.
It can be said that the emergence of iPhone not only led the development of smartphones, but also changed the global mobile technology industry. Since then, the world has begun to transition from feature phones to the era of smartphones. In the following 15 years, Apple has been the industry leader. Although it has experienced troughs in the middle, its influence is still No. 1. It was precisely the emergence of the iPhone that brought about the second boom of domestic mobile phones and led everyone into the Internet era. However, due to the influence of objective factors such as technical production capacity at the time, the first generation of iPhone did not officially enter the country, and what everyone bought was parallel imports. It was not until the iPhone 3GS was introduced to China by China Unicom that the iPhone officially began its journey to the domestic market.
The real understanding of iPhone in China started with the iPhone 4 series. Since then, the iPhone has been like a cheat in the domestic market. Everyone knows the subsequent story. Not much to say, the iPhone has now reached the 13th generation, and the 14th generation will be released soon. In fact, if you look at the iPhone in the past 15 years, you will feel that it has not changed much, but it seems to have changed a lot.
