jan 2, 2007 - iPhone is released

Description:

The iPhone was the first smartphone, which compacted a myriad of features into a small, transportable device.

The release of the iPhone gave consumers the ability to hold complex technology in their hands; before the iPhone, computers weren't very transportable, and with this new release, the public was able to do a variety of tasks easily. This new smart-device also opened the doors for new operating systems as well as new possibilities for developers. The iPhone opened the door for all sorts of new programs, whether they're games, utilities, or eventually social media.
