IPhone 2G

 This is the very first iPhone to ever be created. Announced in January of 2007, this device brought revolutionary changes to the cell phone market, which will continue to be practiced, 13 years after the launch. This phone is by far, one of the most important devices Apple has ever created.

Before the iPhone 2G
Cell phones have been around much earlier than the iPhone 2G, but they were very different. These devices would be very underpowered, they would not focus on specs as much as now, since all people wanted was something that could work for them. And this is still true today.

These phones would have very small screens, and would have plastic keyboards and buttons all over the front, taking up most of the phone. People could not interact with the screen without using the buttons, and it was very painful to use. Steve Jobs understood these struggles and wanted to bring something that would reduce these struggles and make it simple.

Event
January 9, 2007 was the day of the keynote for the iPhone announcement. The beginning of the keynote addresses these phones, and tells them all that they were going to announce something different. And alas, the iPhone was announced and was very impressive for its time. Since phones at the time were used mostly for calling and texting, having more options on the phone brought some revolutionary impacts to the way people use their phones today.

iPhone 2G Information
This device was not focused on specs. This had the worst specs out of any other iPhone, and it has, obviously, gotten better since then. This had a weak 128 MB of RAM, with a display of 165 PPI. [For more information, see the side]. The main goal with the iPhone 2G was the functionality of it all.

With that, the iPhone 2G has thick bezels, with a plastic back that could easily come off for repairs.
