Blog 5 – iPhone

Iphone_Comparison_1-5The iPhone was the first smartphone that introduced multitouch technology. The design of the iPhone was also very simplistic and sleek which users loved when first using this incredible device. “iPhone is a revolutionary and magical product that is literally five years ahead of any other mobile phone,” said Steve Jobs(1).

When the iPhone was first released, the design of the phone differed from that of other smartphones available. The iPhone was the first of its kind to deviate from the standard physical keyboard and the use of a pen and move on to what is known as multitouch. The iPhone is very user friendly. The front of the iPhone offers one physical button to the user that displays the screen. The left side of the phone offers volume control. And the top of the phone has the power button. The rest of the device consists of a large touch-sensitive screen that lets the user access all of the iPhone’s functions(2).

As you can tell, the iPhone wasn’t your ordinary smart phone. This phone also functioned as a portable media player, game console, and handheld computer, making the device very popular. Since 2007 the iPhone has grown drastically due to its simplistic and sleek design. Year in and year out, the market for the newest iPhone will always be huge. The iPhone was mainly successful because of its design, being so simple, but other reasons may include great customer service(3). As Apple designer Jonathan Ive said, “Our goals are very simple – to design and make better products. If we can’t make something that is better, we won’t do it”(3).
