Amazing technology for 2007
Apple introduced the iPhone into our lives in 2007 and little did we know, how dramatically it would changes our lives; for better or for worse. When it was first released to the market, there were no other phones quite like it– the iPhone had a built in flash memory, a 3.5inch touchscreen, and a single home button.

What makes the iPhone so successful, I believe is the Apple app store which opened the doors to a whole new way of living for us. Apple needed apps for the iPhone to become versatile, useful, and the ultimate smartphone, so they provided app developers with all the tools and codes they needed to build iPhone apps. With social media platforms like Facebook and Twitter gaining popularity at around the same time the iPhone garnered popularity, there were all these new toys for people to explore and thanks to app developers, the iPhone became the device that could contain them all.
Almost 12 years later. How does it compare to later iPhone's?
The iPhone X was the biggest departure in design we’d seen for some time. The home button was removed in favour of facial recognition in the front-facing camera, there was an all-glass design, and the bezels were basically all but gone, and there was the controversial notch..
The future
iPhone's will always become better and better with each generation and is expected that the next iPhone will have an even better camera and faster processing power.
The iPhone 11 Pro models are expected to feature OLED screens with three cameras in the back and come in space grey, silver and gold. Alternatively, the iPhone 11 will keep the XR's LCD screen and add two new colours to its options, including green and purple for the first time.
