nowadays people have a dizzying array of
0:03
smartphones to pick from none of which are more prominent than the iPhone but
0:08
wasn't it just yesterday that flip phones dominated the market actually no
0:13
it's been nearly a decade and in that time the device that Mr jobs assured us
0:18
had been patented up down and sideways has evolved alongside other developments
0:23
in Mobile technology to become very very
0:27
different so let's take a little Journey Through Time shall we the first iPhone
0:32
launched exclusively on AT&T for $500
0:35
for a 4 gig or $600 for8 gigs of storage
0:39
in 2007 brought some very important new
0:43
features to the table that ended up being a major influence on the entire
0:47
industry first interaction with the iPhone became almost completely
0:52
touchbased a big change as most smartphones of the era had some kind of
0:57
physical keyboard attached to them the the original iPhone was also one of the
1:01
first multi-touch devices meaning that it could register multiple fingers at
1:06
once enabling features like pinch to zoom users were additionally treated to
1:11
a web browser that could access the full web albeit at cellular data speeds a
1:16
breakthrough at the time since most web enabled phones back then could only
1:21
access specially designed sites and were shut off from most regular web pages the
1:26
very next iPhone the iPhone 3G was launched just over a a year later and
1:30
alleviated two of the main pain points of the original you guessed it 3G
1:35
network speeds and prices dropped to start at $200 on contract Apple followed
1:41
this one up with the iPhone 3GS a performance upgrade with a 32 gig option
1:47
before rolling out the iPhone 4 whose big feature aside from the use of more
1:52
premium glass and aluminum materials instead of plastic in its construction
1:56
and the end of AT&T exclusivity was the
2:00
concept of a retina display Apple's
2:03
marketing term that they still use heavily today for a display with pixels
2:08
that are IND discernible from each other at a normal operating distance a huge
2:12
improvement over the pixelated junk screens that were common on mobile
2:16
devices up until that point this was also the point where we first saw a
2:21
front-facing camera on the iPhone enabling FaceTime chats and For Better
2:26
or For Worse self-portraits or selfies
2:29
they followed this up with the 4S variant which was faster the S is for
2:34
Speed had 1080p video recording a 64 gig
2:37
option for storing it and Siri Apple's
2:40
sometimes Woody Voice Assistant but notably at the time no LTE data support
2:46
know that along with a much better camera a lighter aluminum body and a
2:51
longer wider aspect ratio screen arrived
2:55
with the iPhone 5 I guess Apple Maps also showed up around this time but that
2:59
was seen by many as a rushed out mistake
3:02
and speaking of mistakes the Next Generation 5S was accompanied For the
3:06
First Time by a second body option a
3:10
plastic value iPhone the 5c we'll ignore
3:14
that though just like everyone did and focus on the 5S which brought
3:18
fingerprint verification to the mainstream with Touch ID as well as a
3:22
gold finish for people who care about the bling bling characteristics that it
3:27
shares with the iPhone 6 that replaced it and finally addressed Apple's users
3:33
desire for more storage and larger screens with both the 4.7 in standard
3:39
and 5.5 in plus model available in up to
3:42
128 GB capacities not to mention slow-mo
3:46
video capture at 240 FPS and nearfield
3:50
communication supporting Apple pay which brings us finally then to the latest
3:55
model the iPhone 6s whose primary Innovations are that it can Rec reced up
4:00
to 4K video to its Lightning Fast NVMe
4:03
based onboard storage and 3D touch which
4:07
allows the screen to distinguish hard presses versus soft presses and execute
4:12
different actions accordingly what a journey right it sure has been but even
4:17
though the iPhone has come a really long way in just 8 years a number of common
4:21
criticisms remain even now the base iPhone has a mere 16 gabt of storage
4:27
which especially now that iOS has grown
4:30
over its nine iterations is simply not
4:34
enough and apple still gives their users
4:37
no way to insert an SD card for additional storage and although Apple's
4:43
Innovation on most iPhones has been well received they have been slow to adopt
4:47
some of the features commonly found on competing Android handsets such as 1440p
4:53
or 4K screens on top of that the iPhone
4:56
also keeps its reputation for being a close environment that discourages
5:01
tinkering and self-repair with all that said though
5:05
the iPhone is probably going to remain a Mainstay on the smartphone scene for a
5:09
very long time meaning that shouting matches between Apple and Android fans
5:12
in comment sections just like what is probably below me here aren't going
5:17
anywhere soon speaking of things that aren't going anywhere your business if
5:22
you can't figure out how to stop wasting time on paperwork sitting at your
5:27
computer at the end of the day when you're just talk and don't want to deal
