Indeed, looking back, the iPhone has come a long way. Who would have thought even just a couple of years ago that a company famous for designing quirky laptops and computers without floppy disk drives would suddenly manufacture a phone a few years after it came out with its own music player. CNN.com first looked back at the legacy of iPhones in the age of innovative mobile technology. It was in an article written by John Sutter that they focused on how Apple’s iPhone was accepted and loved by many. Now, it’s our chance to look back.
It was June 29, 2007, when the first iPhone went on sale. There was nothing like it on the market. It was new, pleasing to the eyes, and way too different than the others because of the absence of a keypad. And four years since its birth, it has changed a lot.
In certain ways, it feels like it was only yesterday when Apple CEO, Steve Jobs, joked that their company would just make a phone out of an old school iPod with a rotary phone dial. But then, after a few laughs, he unveiled probably the “smartest” smartphone that revolutionized the course of mobile technology, the original iPhone.

The iPhone, the first to use the touch screen technology for mobile computing and communication that only had one button, made a huge leap over all its competitors. The overwhelming support and fanfare was just incredible.
“The soul of the original is clearly still in place” Agree?
With all due respect to the original iPhone’s specs, the iPhone really has come a long way. All iPhone generations have somehow kept the “soul” in it, but they have undergone major refinement and fine-tuning. Though the designs looked similar to each other, it was said to be a good thing.
Since the iPhone is five years old already, there are surely some people who want to know how to sell an iPhone 3G for cash. After all, there have been at least five iPhone models that have come out since the first one, so an upgrade is definitely in tow if you haven’t had one yet.
Through time, with changes from memory sizes and processors to applications and girth, the iPhone has evolved into something that people are crazy for. We cannot deny the fandom it has created in its crazed fans all over the world.
