Apple and above all its most famous product – iPhone, is celebrating a big anniversary today. Exactly 10 years ago today (January 9, 2007), Steve Jobs at 9:41 AM he showed the first one at the Macworld Conference iPhoneAs you all know, it was a revolutionary product that significantly changed the development of mobile phones. Apple He managed to create a device that was, on the one hand, incredibly simple, so even a small child could control it, and on the other hand, it offered advanced functions, even if in some areas it was not the most advanced on the market. iPhone divided the tech world into two camps – some considered it a revolutionary device, while others laughed at it and claimed that such a product could not succeed at the price it was selling for. But time has shown how horribly wrong the latter group was.
