How iPhone Changed The Mobile Device Industry

To truly appreciate the revolutionary impact of Apple's iPhone, it’s essential to understand the state of the mobile device industry before its introduction. During the late 1990s and early 2000s, mobile phones had evolved from their bulky origins into more portable devices, but they were still quite basic compared to modern standards.

Before smartphones it was another world. I watched TV, DVDs, read physical books and to enter the internet was a ritual, had to turn on PC, connect on the phone line, and have patience for things to load. Internet wasn't about social media, everything had it's own place...

Not just mobile device industry but also product design and design industry in general. Whenever i was studying design, no matter, advertising, UX, interior or product design, something made by Apple was set as an example for what a good design approach should be like. iPhone was set as an example in my product design studies a lot and iOS when i studied UX - and my professor was coming from google background.

I’m attached to it at the hip by the hand and my eyes to the screen all the time that can’t be healthy and I know that but it truly revolutionized society as a hall I believeand I keep up with all the technology with 5G and always speed testing with 5G and putting new EMS to test new services.

[@lakerskid2013]

I didn’t get an iPhone until 2014 which was an old 4 that my dad gave me at the time but those have been the only smartphones I ever owned. For the past 8 years beforehand I had basic phones from Verizon (now I have Straight Talk ever since I’ve had iPhones) which were an LG VX5400 flip phone, LG Venus (my first touch screen phone) and Pantech Hotshot which was an all touch screen phone and it was a basic phone that basically felt like a smartphone.

[@thecapone45]

When Marques asked Tim Cook recently about the iPhone, Tim Cook did not exaggerate when he said “it changed the world.” It truly did. It’s one of those things that if it had not happened, it would have altered our reality, our timeline so to speak. I don’t think I would have been as financially successful had it not been for the iPhone.

i had a phone from that transition period, a Sony Ericsson, that you could slide up. it could do anything the iphone could minus the touch screen of course. it had a real web browser, WiFi, a camera, email and stuff, the interface looked very similar to the iphones. there was even a google maps app edit: just tried the Google maps app in an emulator and it STILL works and shows the up to date map after all these years. thats insane

[@paolozago6123]

Sony Ericsson used to do very powerful smartphones back then, they were based on Symbian like Nokia's smartphones, but their UIQ user interface was IMO better than Nokia's. But yet, the interaction paradigm of the iPhone made all the stylus based smartphones look so old...

[@jesusgalvez6127]

I had a Sony Ericcson Phone as well. I had 3 actually, bught my first one in 2006. It was my first real phone. You could slide it to the side and up to talk on the phone. It lasted me for 2 years then it broke then I went and bought another Sony ericcson phone which was smaller than my first one and it would slide up. I think that one was defective though because a week later the screen stopped working for some reason so I just got it replaced buy att. That phone lasted me until 2012 when I decided to take the plunge and buy an iPhone 4s because my friend who is blind told me about a screen reader that apple had built into the I-Phone called Voice-Over that would allow me to use the I-Phone to its full capability and I haven’t looked back since.

I went straight from a Nokia 7373 to the first iPhone... As I live in the UK, I had to pay some random guy in America to buy and ship a 16GB model. I had the phone within one month of the 16GB iPhone release and, whilst jailbroken, it couldn't really do much and had no app store. Girls in nightclubs had no idea what it was, so saving their numbers was interesting.

[@lakerskid2013]

My very first phone I had was in December 2006 which was an LG VX5400 flip phone and I had two other basic phones after that from Verizon which were an LG Venus (my first touch screen phone) and a Pantech Hotshot. The Pantech phone was all touch screen in a basic phone which was the closest thing I had to a smartphone until September 2014 which I got Straight Talk (have had it ever since) and my first iPhone was an old 4 that my dad gave to me. Ever since then it’s still been iPhones for me which I’ve had a 5S, 6, and been on the 8 Plus for 4 years although I have plans to make a massive upgrade to the 15. It’s crazy how much phones have changed over the years and even crazier to think that a regular 15 is actually slightly bigger than an 8 Plus is.

[@TheFPSChannel]

Great breakdown. Amazing how much we take for granted now (e.g. selecting which voice mail you want first) But OMG… 20mins of the same music. As a video producer this kinda thing drives me bananas.

[@MrOrtmeier]

You conveniently skipped over Windows Mobile which was way ahead of these other OS' you mentioned and in 2005 I was already installing apps I bought off a website. By 2006 I was even theming my Windows Mobile. And we had copy and paste. I even had a voice assistant on my HTC stylus phone. I would regularly buy apps off the internet and install them. The iPhone wasn't a revelation, it was the next step in the evolution of mobile. People like me were already frustrated by the stylus and wanted an easier way to use the phone, especially via touch. I often used my fingernail on my thumb to navigate the OS and do things which was basically touch input but on a pressure resistant screen. Apple just got there first and make the UI touch friendly and good looking. Now you didn't have to just your fingernail or stylus you used your finger tip. UI elements were bigger, the internet looked better than WAP and the music player was cool with cover flow. But I already had all these apps and more on my Windows Mobile phone. Apple just made it easier and prettier to use. In short it was the smartphone for the rest of us, if you will. But that lack of features was also frustrating at times. Copy paste came later and video recording even later. Meanwhile my Windows Mobile HTC had that years earlier. So yes the iPhone was great and does what Apple did best: make technology accessible to the masses. But it all already existed before on other devices. Let's give credit where credit is due. Not only that but way back in 2001 when I was living in Germany I had the desire for a phone that could do email at home so I wouldn't need to go to the internet cafe to email my family. A phone that could give me directions so I wouldn't need to use a map all the time etc. Basically I already had the idea for a smartphone with apps before it existed. And I'm definitely not the only one because apple techs and other techies must have been wishing for the same but the tech wasn't there yet.

[@tobiasbauer198]

The design aspect is valid, though it's not necessary that one specific company or product would be necessary, that the industry would have developed in that direction anyway. With more touchscreens produced, the producing capacity and innovations will grow, the price of touchscreens will get lower and soon they would have been cheaper than haptic keyboards. The very idea that one specific company changed the world is engraved in the opinion of the Apple followers. It is the same as the fans from Ford. Did Mister Ford make progress when it comes to manufacturing cars? Yes, but wouldn't the same things have developed anyway? One scientific breakthrough, that changed the world however, was the discovery of electricity. If electricity wouldn't have been discovered, by pure luck, we wouldn't have the same world.

[@TheMark_em]

I get it that apple pushed the industry away from dumb phones. I applaud them, but they ended up being the last to join other people's innovation only to come and brand their version of it. Only thing I noticed they didn't brand was the Always On Display on 14 Pro and later.

6:33 macbooks are soo good that google gotta use it

[@BG4life13]

kinda wonder what Google would've came up with if the iPhone never came to be? the fact they released their phone the next year makes me think they already had the idea of a touch screen phone at least...

[@RaftechGaming89]

they already leaning towards copying blackberry because first android prototype resemble blackberry phone in terms of layout and android OS is not initially built for touch screen devices

I’m nostalgic when it comes to older phones with unique designs. Today, phones are generic squares with a screen.

I sold cell phones for a bit before iPhones came out. I never cared for Blackberries but they were extremely popular. As soon as the iPhone hit I knew Blackberry would be no more. Blackberry enthusiasts tried to desperately cling to it with all the copium in the world trying to explain how "bad" the iPhone was...and then Apple released the iPhone SDK to the public and opened the floodgates.

[@keithbrown7685]

There was a lot of denial and mud throwing. The world of previous phones was about to be up-ended, and imo the nay sayers were just a little scared, and not wanting to admit even that.

No 2160p video?

I first came in contact with the actual initial iPhone in late 2007 on a Vacationed tour to Laos where a Thai couple wile phoning back to their relatives in Bangkok while showing their new iPhones which wasn’t even on the Thai Market vet! My only conclusion the couple must had bought them iPhones at one of the many Gray imports shops at MBK center in Bangkok! It’s the Hub of Mobile of Mobile & smartphones in Bangkok and all of Thailand! Those grey imports shops send their men to the nearest country where the iPhone was available in Asia I. e. Japan, Hong Kong and later Singapore buy em in Bulk back to Thailand to resell them here in Thailand. These non carrier supported iPhones cost more and didn’t have the native language support and no Thai Keybaord as well. With the introduction of the iPhone 3GS in 2009 and intense negotiations between Apple and all mobile operators Thailand got their 1st official contingencies of iPhones 3GS to its customers! In 2010 prior to the release of the iPhone 4 in Thailand. Certain data filed by Apple to Thais National Telecommunications Agency which suppose to be confidential til the iPhone 4 release got leaked by an low level worker at the agency. Apple was not amused about this leak. As a consequence Thailand was downgraded from 2nd wave iPhone release country to 3rd wave iPhone release country a remained a 3rd Wave release country til 2022. Thailand was upgraded to to 2nd Tier release country with the introduction of the iPhone 14!!!‘

In this video the iPhone is compared to feature phones, but smartphones already existed before the iPhone, only they were not popular. What the iPhone did was popularize the concept and improve the UI of a smartphones so that it really had broad popular appeal.

[@beinjar5634]

STOP. Those smartphones before iPhone didn’t have a camera also didn’t have gorilla screen

[@maybelivxie]

"popularizing" the concept of smartphones is still changing how people use phones

[@paolozago6123]

@@beinjar5634 sure they had a camera, Sony Ericsson even had a phone with CCD sensore that back then was much better than cmos sensors

[@paolozago6123]

@@maybelivxie Definitely, I wasn’t going to downplay the importance and impact of the iPhone, just adding some perspective. It’s even more meaningful that the iPhone “model” wiped out all the previous phone types INCLUDING existing smartphones

@@paolozago6123 yeah but they didnt change the mobile industry before the iphone was released
