What are the Impact of The Apple iPhone
Has the big hype over the Apple iPhone been justified? Judging by the enthusiasm of about forty million users, the answer appears to be yes. Ever since the release of the first version of this phone in 2007, to call it a “cell phone” just doesn’t seem accurate. Even that version, which was locked so owners could only use the iPhone applications that came with it, had the revolutionary touch screen controls and many extra features that cell phones simply never had before.
It was really the whole package that made this phone so spectacular. Read any iPhone 3G review, that is, a review for the version that opened the phone up to downloading extra applications, and you can see why its introduction was such a sensation. There were other communication devices, like the Blackberry, which could be used for phoning, texting and surfing the internet, but the combination of those functions with the downloadable applications gave this new Apple iPhone something extra, and lifted it out of the “cell phone” realm altogether.
The initial iPhone was released gradually in several countries around the world. Of course its first release was in its own home, the United States, in June of 2007. It was slowly rolled out in other mostly European countries in the subsequent months, as deals were reached with the companies that would have rights to be the official vendors. And everywhere the iPhone news spread, people continued lining up and paying high prices to get an iPhone of their own.
With each new iPhone release, Apple has added features that have kept the device popular and in great demand. The difference between the 3G and 3GS versions was mainly one of performance and some extra video capability, but it was the leap in function between the 2007 Apple iPhone and the 3G version in 2008 that really pushed it over the top. Even with some concern over high prices, the ability to download useful applications has taken the idea of a simple cell phone and lifted into another realm entirely.
