iPhone問世

2007年

第一代iPhone的靈感來(lái)自于史蒂夫?喬布斯在21世紀(jì)初接觸到的多點(diǎn)觸控屏幕,，它用令人驚嘆的工業(yè)設(shè)計(jì)、鋁制機(jī)身和防刮屏幕,，讓黑莓（BlackBerry）等競(jìng)爭(zhēng)對(duì)手看起來(lái)成了徹頭徹尾的老古董,。不過(guò)，iPhone最創(chuàng)新的地方也許是對(duì)觸控操作的運(yùn)用：再也用不著軌跡球或觸控筆了,。相反,，用戶可以通過(guò)手指的滑動(dòng)、收縮以及滾動(dòng),，獲得更加生動(dòng)的體驗(yàn),。據(jù)一位知情人士稱，這樣的創(chuàng)新產(chǎn)品讓蘋果公司（Apple）花費(fèi)了1.5億美元的初始開發(fā)成本,。而考慮到iPhone自推出以來(lái)已經(jīng)售出超過(guò)2.5億臺(tái),，這筆成本現(xiàn)在看來(lái)微不足道。

The iPhone debuts

? Year: 2007

Inspired by a multi-touch display Steve Jobs encountered in the early 2000s, the first iPhone made competition like the BlackBerry (BBRY) look downright antediluvian with a striking industrial design that paired mostly aluminum and scratch-resistant glass. But perhaps more innovative was use of touch: no more trackballs or styluses. Instead, users swiped, pinched, and scrolled with their fingers, making for a more immersive experience. Such innovation cost Apple (AAPL, Fortune 500) $150 million in initial development costs, according to one insider, a paltry figure given the company has sold well north of 250 million units since.

The first-generation iPhone

? Year: 2007

The first-generation iPhone, which initially sold for as much as $599, weighed 4.8 oz. with features considered cutting-edge for the time: a 400-MHz processor, 128 MB of memory, 2-megapixel camera, 3.5-inch display with 320 by 480 resolution, and up to 16 gigabytes of built-in storage. It also ran on AT&T's EDGE networks instead of the faster 3G standard. "Despite some flaws and feature omissions, the iPhone is, on balance, a beautiful and breakthrough handheld computer," Wall Street Journal columnist Walt Mossberg wrote then.
