The iPhone is a beautiful device. Technical and non-people both agree that the software platform is amazingly innovative. A quizzical mind may wonder, however, about the steps that Apple took to become such a leader in the smart phone industry. How did we from there to here?
It all started with analog phones. These were the dinosaurs of the cell phone industry. These devices became replaced by portable phones with digital signals. This was also after the internet received an upgrade from dial-up to digital services.
The phone progressed right along with improvements in internet speed for computers. It would only be a matter of time before the phone would become multi-functional. Texting was becoming a big thing and there were even phones that could access the internet. These phones were sluggish and impractical, however, because they lacked the speed that was needed to surf the web.
This would changed when the 3G speed wave came along. This was a faster internet that got even faster with the introduction of 4G. Apple has transformed the world of smart phones with this small slice of heaven. Today the iPhone is a small portable workstation that offers much more than phone calls.
