9 ianuarie 2007 a fost ziua care a schimbat industria smartphone pentru totdeauna, Steve Jobs prezentand lumii intregi primul model al iPhone. In clipul video de mai jos puteti vedea legendara prezentare care a fost revazuta de sute de milioane de ori pe diverse canale ale YouTube in cei 10 ani care au trecut de atunci.

Pentru ca vorbim despre un moment important, compania Apple celebreaza deceniul trecut de atunci cu un comunicat de presa in care vorbeste despre evolutia iPhone. Vorbim despre 10 ani in care iPhone a ajuns sa fie cel mai dorit smartphone de pe planeta, cu cele mai mari vanzari din segmentul premium, cel putin in ultimii 7 ani.

iPhone a redefinit ideea de smartphone, facand uitate tastaturile fizice si punand aplicatiile in prim-plan, asta desi Steve Jobs a rezistat initial ideii de a lansa un AppStore. In ciuda acestui lucru, iPhone a stabilit record dupa record in materie de vanzari, iar asta in ciuda pretului mare de vanzare, popularitatea sa crescand de la un an la altul.

Evolutia iPhone a dus Apple intr-un punct in care in 2017 oamenii asteapta un iPhone 8 cu adevarat revolutionar. Pana acum s-au anuntat schimbari radicale in ceea ce priveste design-ul, dar si prima utilizare a unui ecran OLED intr-un iPhone, asa ca vorbim despre schimbari serioase pregatite de catre compania Apple pentru noi.

In ciuda popularitatii extrem de mari in continuare, in 2016 vanzarile iPhone au scazut, iar 2017 ar trebui sa fie anul revitalizarii, Apple dand de inteles ca acest lucru se va intampla. Prin comunicatul de presa lansat astazi, cei de la Apple lauda iPhone si realizarile sale de-a lungul timpului, dand de inteles ca aniversarea nu va fi lipsita de importanta in 2017.

Avand in vedere ca vorbim despre un an extrem de important pentru compania Apple, cred ca pana la sfarsitul acestei veri vom afla si ce noutati majore vor fi pregatite pentru iPhone. Desi iPhone 2G a fost lansat pe 29 iunie de catre Apple, la 6 luni dupa prezentare, este greu de crezut ca anul acesta se va intampla ceva similar, asa ca vom avea de asteptat pentru iPhone 8 pana in toamna.

“January 9 marks the tenth anniversary of iPhone’s blockbuster debut. At Macworld 2007 in San Francisco, Steve Jobs introduced the world to iPhone as three products in one — “a widescreen iPod with touch controls, a revolutionary mobile phone and a breakthrough internet communications device.” In the ten years since, iPhone has enriched the lives of people around the world with over one billion units sold. It quickly grew into a revolutionary platform for hardware, software and services integration, and inspired new products, including iPad and Apple Watch, along with millions of apps that have become essential to people’s daily lives.
 
“iPhone is an essential part of our customers’ lives, and today more than ever it is redefining the way we communicate, entertain, work and live,” said Tim Cook, Apple’s CEO. “iPhone set the standard for mobile computing in its first decade and we are just getting started. The best is yet to come.”
 
“It is amazing that from the very first iPhone through to today’s newest iPhone 7 Plus, it has remained the gold standard by which all other smartphones are judged. For many of us, iPhone has become the most essential device in our lives and we love it,” said Philip Schiller, Apple’s senior vice president of Worldwide Marketing. “iPhone is how we make voice and FaceTime calls, how we shoot and share Live Photos and 4K videos, how we listen to streaming music, how we use social media, how we play games, how we get directions and find new places, how we pay for things, how we surf the web, do email, manage our contacts and calendars, how we listen to podcasts, watch TV, movies and sports, and how we manage our fitness and health. iPhone has become all of these things and more. And I believe we are just getting started.”
