Apple, the company that began the computer revolution, has remained a key player in the technology race. After all, we are talking about the company that introduced the iPod into the world. However, despite their leading role in the technology world, Apple has failed to establish their territory in the mobile phone industrythat is, until now. Now, Apple’s cell phone is quickly becoming one of the hippest and most desired new devices available.
When Steve Jobs announced at MacWorld in January of 2007 that Apple was developing a so-called “iPhone,” a next-generation cell phone, he triggered widespread excitement and anticipation. Many were awed by the idea of a device that combined the features of an iPod with those of a cell phone. Before Apple released the iPhone, many press and media outlets generated enthusiasm and hype about the iPhone’s possible features and price. On June 29, 2007, when the device was finally released to the world, customers lined up to buy an iPhone of their own. The iPhone is about the same size as an iPod nano, and it comes in black, white, and platinum models. Additional colors and visual options may be released in the future.
The Apple cell phone has the ability to do much more than simply play music and make phone calls. With an iPhone, the user can text message, take pictures, surf the Internet, watch movies and videos, send and receive mail, and store iTunes. Some wonder how such a small device can do so much, and others simply appreciate the technology they have right at their fingertips.
Apple has made its cell phone available only at AT&T outlets and Apple stores in the United States since releasing it on June 29, 2007. However, people in other countries will be able to buy the iPhone starting late in 2007. Apple’s entry into the cell phone industry was only a matter of time, and the iPhone has proven to be a spectacular success for Apple.
