"An iPod, a phone, and an Internet communicator."
A thing to free you from your desk. A thing to tie your desk to your back. A way to stay in touch with loved ones. A way to be disconnected from the people around you - to be 1,000 away from people you’re standing next to on the corner. A way to learn. A way to reinforce your most ignorant beliefs. A camera capable of taking “Studio-quality portraits. Without the studio.” A movie studio in your pocket. More music than you could listen to in a lifetime and at least as many podcasts, if that’s your thing. A way to sell your junk. A way to take pictures of your junk. And, if you’re a particular type of entrepreneur, a way to sell pictures of your junk.
A platform.
A status symbol.
An isolation booth.
A lifeline.
An iPod.
A phone.
An Internet communicator.
iPhone was launched 11 years ago today - 29 June 2007.
