Marking 18 Years Since Steve Jobs Introduced the iPhone

On January 9, 2007, Apple unveiled the iPhone, a device that redefined mobile technology and launched a trillion-dollar industry.

The iPhone was introduced by Steve Jobs at the Macworld conference in San Francisco, combining a phone, iPod, and internet communicator into one device.
The original iPhone featured a 3.5-inch touchscreen, up to 16GB of storage, and a 2MP rear camera, but lacked a front camera or App Store, which debuted later.
Critics initially doubted the iPhone's touchscreen design and multifunctionality, with some predicting it would fail in a market dominated by physical keyboards and simpler devices.
Apple's innovative interface and software paved the way for a new era of smartphones, reshaping how people interact with technology and consume media.
The iPhone's success has since fueled a global tech revolution, with Apple now generating billions in revenue from iPhone sales, accessories, and services.
